GRAIN-CoRN-Very few indeed
are the features that have transpired
III the grain market during the current
week. Aside from the regular routine
Of trade there has been nothing of
importance doing, and the market was
quiet and undisturbed. There were
only two cargOes of corn arrived siuce
our last, and very little feeling was
exhibited to effect purchases when
those were offered. The cargo Of the
schr. Fairfield, containing 2,OOO(which
arrived early i'll the week, } was offered.
but OH examination proved to be
heated, and sold at G5 cents. Later
I the cargo of the schr. E. Francis was
offered, but at the time of closing our
report it was unsold, the highest offer
being so cents. The consignees re-
fused to accept these figures, and con-
sequently We are without actual sales
to quote from, but can safely vouch
that arrivals of cargoes would COM
mand the figures offered. The re-
celpts from Northern markets continue
III excess of the demand and the stock
is slowly increasing. The crop of
corn III the Cardinals is estimsted 1T a
two-thirds crop, but the advices from
| the West are that there will be a Weld
! OF an abundance to supply the
| demands of the country for the season
and leave a large surplus for export to
| foreign markets. There is a slight
Improvement noticeable in yellow and
| mixed corn, and small advance is re-
ported On previous figures. White
meallnG is reported unchanged and
there IS large stock on hand. The
receipts for the week IS. 462 bushels
against 1860 bushels for last week,
show an increase of 10, 1913 bushels; and
from al sources were as follows: From
Philadelphia, 6,137 bushels: from
Baltimore, 800 bushels; from New
York per ateamer) $500 bushels: per
schooner E. Francis, 300 bushels; per
schooner Fairfield, 1000 bushels: ner
schooner John (frOm New YORK; $500
bushels; and by Wilmington { Weldon
Rail Road, pa bushels. Dealers
are selling from store at 500 GJ cents
for yellow and mixed corn, and 9OGa92I
cents for white mealing per bushel,
highest figures intending sacks. OArs-
AtprcScut thereis lit orno demand for
oats, and the market may he quoted
dull. Tho demands principally are To-
cal, very few orders being received
from the country. Sells from store

included. -PEAs-Th light stock
and very limited receipts continue to
influence the market and prices continue
high. The demand for Clay and Cow
peas are good, but fancy qualities are
i'll light request. We quote Cow ut

White at 81 s. + bushel -RIcE-

PROViSIONS-In Provisions there
has been a fair business doing and
prices are steady for all Inscriptions oI
Cut and Boxed meats. From the West
the reports are less encouraging and Il
weakness is felt towards the close of
the week III consequence of these t.
ports 1t is asserted, however, that
present prices will maintain their own
until the maturing of the new crop OF
hog productions, at which time Il rapid
decline is anticipated, owing to
the large production Of hogs this
season. North Carolina Bacon does
does not assume a very large proper
ton in the trade, and prices are not
materially effected by any decline of
other markets, or of other qualities of
meats. Our quotations are given nom

tame" and the amount changing hands
is not OF sufficient size to regulate prices.
The demands principally are Cor hams,
the enquiry existing for sides and
shoulders being quite small. We
