whatever to report in the grain movement OF
the past week. There has been but one cargo
arrival, which being of a very inferior quality,
was sold al much lower figures than the state
of the market for prime articles actually was.
The demands for home consumption and cOun-
try export, howe yer, continues good, and with
very small receipts the stock is being reduced
daily. The receipts by rail have almost entirely
ceased to be of any Importance, and are now
principally by steamer from Philadelphia and
Baltimore. By this source they are OF sufficient
size TO not tO allow any scarcity of stock. The
receipts for the week 49, 1876 bushels, against
Is, 7O8 bushels for last week, are falling off of
5,S13 bushels, and from all sources were as
follows From Philadelphia, 1856 bushels
from Baltimore, $3.50 bushels; from New York,
1000 bushels and by Wilmington & Weldon
r. r., 500 bushels. Dealers are selling from
store at 50 to 81 y cents for mixed and % to OK
cents for white mealing-highost figures in
Guiding sacks.-OATs.-Th3 receipts we're
upV ards of 8, 800 bushels, being an increase OF
ECO bushels over those of last week. The stock
in market is fully adequate to the demands
which are however very light, and note a
dull market at 65C87O cents from store per ush
el.-PEAs.- Cow the principal quality
OF this article that a re now sought after. These
are in fair stock, but clay and white scarce,
though at present there is but little demand
for them. We quote cow as selling from store
at ST 15@S1 .25 clay 81 15@$1 %, and 81 500
81 IS for white, per bushel.--WHEAT.-T
small receipts and light stock have placed the
market on an entirely nominal basis. A good
article will bring 81 so to ST. rs per bushel.
--RICE.-The market is in limited supply,
and the demands are light and sales made
from store in tier and bulls. at 940195 cents
per Id.
PROVISIONS-The provision mar kct during
the past week shows no change OF Importance
in Western meats. The continued scarcity of
North Carolina bacon has caused further ad-
vance of cent on sides and shoulders, and
cents on hams. The stock OF smoked meats in
market is f2ir and the demand moderate. We
quote n. G. bacon follows: 10 cents for shou!-
ders. 12H@13 cents for Sides 12X@13 ceUts for
hog round. and 1920 cents for hams. Western
Smoked Medts sells as follows: 9(@9k cents for
shoulders, 11K cents for middlings, l7G918 cents
for hams. Dry .Sdited SH@9 cents for shoulders,

market is in good supply of NORTHERN, but
Carolina is scarce and sells at 1l@I2G cents per
pound. Northern steam refined i'll buckets III
kegs sell at II to ~ cents per pound.
FLQUR-COptinues OH the advcnce, having
advanced % cents since last week. The cause
of the advance are the reports prevalent in the
Western markets of a short wheat crop and the
scarcity OF manufactured flour. We refer to
our table of wholesale prices for quotations OF
both Northern and State brands.

ton reported last week. The mark ct is kept

ported for several weeks past. The receipts are
