/ There was larger breadth OF land sown
I than the previous year, so that the aqQre-
! gate of the crop will no doubt be an aver
age good one. Corn has been in better
! supply and has ruled dull at soc. We I'M
derstand that this article can be bought in
the interior of Indiana and Illinois for 10c
per bushe, delivered at railway stations.
Goats dull at 23c, with a supply fully up
to the demand Rye declined to 40c, and
is dull. Nothing doing in barley, and we
must quote it nominal at 40950c. The
quality of the new crop is good, but it was
thin on the ground, and, therefore, the yield
per acre will be light.
There has been increased activity in the
grocery market, and the higher grades of
sugar and coffee are fully &c higher, with
very firm market. The demand has been
good both from the country and city deal
ers, and the quantity of both which went
out during the week, has been quite large,
far more SO than that for the corresponding
week last year, the comparison being as
follows:
Exported from July 10 to July II.

sugar. hs e5a 5'9 ag
Molasses is irmer, and was more inquired
for at the close, and prime was generally held
at Doc. for round lots. With regard to SUI
gar, it should be recollected that the crop Of
Louisiana will not be available until per-
haps next Spring, if the rebel States should
not lay down their arms until forced to do
so by the march of our army down the val
ley of the Mississippi.
Whisky advanced 3c. and closed firm at
BE. 1t has been in better demand in New
York, and at lie. per gallon higher prices.
Cheese declined be. and in better supply.
Beefcattle have been in fair supply, rath-
er in excess of the demand, but holders re-
fused to sell at the rates current week ago,
and succeeded in establishing an advance of !
25c. per Genital, the market closing firm,
though there was quite number left over,
at Mondays market unsold. Hogs are 25c. !
higher and in good demand, closing at $30 |
3 70 gross. Sheep and lambs in good sup |
ply, and prices unchanged.
There has been better feeling in the pro- |
vision market, and an improved demand, |
though the business done has not been |
large, but it has made holders firm, and pri- |
ces have advanced generally. Mess Pork |
to Sl4 so /; bulk Pork to 4l154,
and Bacon to 5, 81, aud %, though there
has been but little inquiry for side, the de-
mand being chiefly for shoulders in bulk or
smoked, and chiefly from the East great
portion of the shipments went to Baltimore.
There is a good demand from Louisville
but only limited amount is permitted to
90 there by the Port Surveyor, so that they
cannot get as much as they need. Lard
sold only to the extent of 700 kegs at sic,
and small parcels in tierces at e(9s4c.-
There is not much demand for It, nor is
here much on the market
The indications are that the prices of pro-
visions have touched the bottom, and that
lenceforward the tendency will be upward
here is no stock of Importance in the West,
outside of Cincinnati, and the low prices in
luced an increased demand and consump-
ion, for by referring to our tables of ex-
'orts it will be found that there is a large
Increase in the exports of pork from New
ork. the last week or two
