characteristics receipts during the past
| week have been very small, and although
visible sign OF business has been apparent, yet
the shipping to country villages has been quite
large and the stock has become reduced to
mere fraction compared with the usual
amount in market at this season of the year.
No cargo sales have taken place, and we do not
know the correct quotation, but we think that
arrivals would command higher figures than
any cargo sales made during the past season.
Only three cargoeS containing $3.50 bushels
hSve arrived, which came to a dealer nd has
gone into store The receipts from all sources
are as follows: From Hyde county, $50 bush
els; from Alexandria, . 900 bushels from Phi3-
delphia, SEQ bushels; from Baltimore, so
bushels, aud by Wilmington & Weldon Rail-
road, 600 bushels. The market closes with
good enquiry and advance sales from
store of 2k cents. The stock is estimated not to
exceed 10000 bushels. Sales are made from
store at 81 OI1 cents per bushel-hichest
hgures including sacks-OATs.-The re-
ceipts have been fair and the stock is fully large
for the wants. Tie enquiry is only moderate.
