a. -..,. WHOLESALE MARKET. ~
The Post has the following review of the
Wholesale market: o- o.,
During the past week the market hsz
been unsettled, especially in, brerdslufs.
A heavy business was done in pork, and
prices depressed. Present stock in market
unusually large. r ..-,
The provision market has been heavy
during the week, and trade being very
sparingly since the 1st inst The redus-
tion of the stock has been moderate, and
the receipts liberal. In mess pork very
little has been done for future, and much
less speculative feeling than during the
corresponding week in July The market
closed dull at $8262 regular, and $s3.25
for cash. In prime mess good business
was done, but lower and regular prices.
The absence of any demand by Govern
ment and the large stock in market, has
increased the desire to reAliza. Prices
closed at $27@26. so for western. 'aaf
Beef has been il REisk sud dARFRRS ARR6ts uFhf uhf
Cut meats dull and nominal. .aa
Lard is in reduced supply with fair
demand. Prices frmer. D.. .-..-.- .
The market for western and State f our
up to Tuesday was dull and heavy. Since
that time, owing to unfavorable advices
from the Northwest, prices advanced on
all grades, and continued to improve until
Thursdays market, when holders submit
tod to an abatement. On Friday the IA
vOrable news of the spring crop checked
the speculative and consumptive demand,
and the advance obtained since Monday
was lost. The market closes to-day from
lOc to 2bc higher. We quote extra State
at $655@6,75i shipping Ohio $s.1O@S.26,
and St. Louis $lO@l&, The export for
the week has been 3,428 barrels. ....., ~.
Wheat market has been much excited.

tive. Chicago spring. sl4o@l. .46, and

ately active. Prices eighty advanced,
and at the close are firm at 50 I53 for new.
Sales foot up ], 100 bsrrels.H si' 81
The hop market has beens,f fairly active
for all grades Fancy qualities are scarce
and much wanted. Prices advanced, and
are firm at the close. Report of the present
crops from the growing districts are very
unfsvOfable. We are Informed by cOmps.
tent judges just returned from these dis.
tricts that the entire crop will be failure.
Sellers would have had decided advantage
were it not for favorable sdvices of the
England and Continental hop crop.
STEAMERS SAILED.
.-.a.. NEW YORK, August Il E
Five steamers left New York TO- day for
Europe. They are the Erin and City of
New York, for Liverpool; Delivns, for
London; Hibernisn, for Glasgow, the New
York, for Southampton and Brsmia. The
steamer Hibernian also sails for Liverpool
to-dsy from Quebec. a. .lia -'l - =
-.-+-- WADE HAMPTON.
The Express ssys it learns omigood au-
thority that Wade Hampton is now hiring
every abls-bodied negro who was once his
slave. He pays men $40 per month and
women IS, furnishing houses, but not
board, for. each. He eexpects 70 raisethirty
bales of cotton, where before he raised from
1910 to l, 500 bales. The small crop ex-,
pected grows out of the fact that It is only
since the close of the war that he has been
able to resume work on his plantation.
Wade Hampton declares his intention To
give free negro labor fair trial, and that
he shall hope for the best results from the
wages system until it fails. He has already
dissuaded many of his countrymen from
the folly of emigration.
