unusually forward there seems to be little
doubt that it will be large crop, notwith-
standing the drouth referred to-
There has been no change in the market
for Flour during the week the demand has
been quite limited, and chiefly confined to
the higher grades, and at no time has it
been equal to the offerings. but holders dis
play confidence enough to prevent their
making any concessions in order to force
sales, so that no decline has been establish
ed; but for the lower grades prices are nom
inal, to a great extent, and for the higher
grades, whatever is doing beyond the local
trade is for shipment to Tennessee and Geor-
gia, from whence moderate demand con-
tinues
Wheat has ruled dull, except for choice
samples, which are scarce and being want
ed for seed, fancy prices have been paid for
such, and for choice white 81 Is was offer
ed and refused yesterday, and 81 05 would
be paid for choice red. A large portion of
the wheat offered has been damaged by rain.
Corn has not changed, for shelled but
for ear it is &c lower than it was a week
ago. A large demand will prevail for this
article from the South the present season,
and we notice desire exhibited by parties
| in Georgia and Alabama, to make contracts
| for future delivery, but it is impossible to
say now at what rate such contracts could
| be made.
| Oats advanced to 30c for prime new, with
a fair export demand from the South
Barley and Rye unchanged. There is n
good demand for prime fall Barley, for In
diana, at 75c.
Some contracts have been made for super
fine -four, for future delivery, at 4 so, the
delivery to be made il October. 1t is easier
to sell than to buy, however, at this date
and the sales made in this way during the
week do not exceed 5000 brls. Matters,
prospectively, look too unsuited to millers
to give them confidence in the safety of
such contracts. The Provision market
gained more frmness during the week and
mess pork advanced to Sl9 SO, at which
rate 1000 bbls were taken by a New Or
leans house. At the close holders asked
$19 75@$2o.
Bacon sides advanced to II aud l3t, the
latter for clear, and shoulders to 96(193,
aud l6o hhds were sold last Saturday at 10
IL, and l3c for shoulders, sides and clear
sides, to be delivered on the 18th of next
month but the prices for the shoulders were
considered above the market, whilst that tor
the sides were regarded below it. Bulk
shoulders sold at 81 and sides at l0ECa31I,
though the business done in them has been
comparatively small. Butchers lard is sell
ing at lo4@llc, buyers furnishing barrels,
but for other kinds there ia no demand, and
prices are nominal at l25c for keg and l23
G9l3c for barrel and fierce, which are the
asking rates. strong speculative feeling
prevails in the Hog market for future de-
livery, and S6 so for November and Sc IS
for the fore part of December, are being free
ly paid. 1000 head were sold at these rates,
yesterday and we understand that hackers,
down the River, are busy making contracts
at Sc so for November. There seems TO be
strong faith that prices will rule high, in the
early part of the season, at least.
Whisky advanced 3c during the week,
with good demand, and last evening the
indications were that 1sc will be obtained
to day. The supply is light and hardly
equal to the demand
Sugar is firm with a fair trade demand.
and an upward tendency in prices. Fully
fair sugar is selling in New Orleans at SIC,
whilst the same kind sells here at SIC, show
ing that the entire West must look to for
eign sugars, for its fall supply, so that a
+, further advance seems quite probable Mo-
lasses has been dealt in more freely, during
the week, but prices are unchanged, and
prime in oak can be bought at 43c. Coffee
dull, but the stock here being light, prices
are not lower. The late advices from Rio
Janeiro. which are to the goth ult., brought
by the Z. s. steamer Posphattan, leave no
doubt that the supply of this article will be
better henreforward and that consequent
decline may be looked for. 10000 bags
had been shipped to the United States from
Rio, during the month, and the receipts
there were increasing. Linseed Oil declin-
ed to Soc in the early part of the week, but
subsequent sales were made at 5Sc. The
new seed is now coming in quite freely,
and the quality is excellent. The current
rate is 81 10. As regards the extent of the
crop we have made particular inquiries, and
find great difference in the yield. In
many places it will not be over one-hali
what it was last year, whilst in others the
yield is good-fully up to last year, which,
however, is the exception rather than the
rule. On the whole it seems pretty clear
that the quantity gathered in this State and
Indiana, will not exceed three-fourths oil
last years yield.
Beef cattle were exceedingly dull during
the week, and the lower grades declined
25c. Cattle are lower in this market now,
than they have been for seven years.
