| GRAIN CoRN.-There has been
comparatively little movement in the
| grain market of the week, and there is
a total absence of any features, other
than those we have mentioned in for
mer reviews. There were no cargo
arrivals, and very little activity has
been displayed in the movement of
/ any quality or description of grain,
| and the trade has been confined prin-
cipally to the local consumptive want,
and the few orders being received
from the country. From the present
writing up to the harvesting of the new
crop, it is thought that the condition
of the market will remain just as it is
at present, and prices will be quiet
and steady. The grain crop of the
Carolinas will show decrease on the
crop of last year, but in the West the
crop has been large, and the supply
from there will be sufficient to meet
the demands of our country and
the of surplus supply will go to
the export trade to foreign markets.
The stock of corn in our market is be-
tween 900 and 80, 900 bushels which
will be equal to the demand for some
time to come. In the receipts from
Northern markets there is very little
decline, and the trade is principally
supplied from this source. Yellow and
mixed corn is quoted . cents lower.
Prime white mealing rules unchanged.
Our dealers quote cargoes at 80 to 50
cents as per quality. The receipts for
the week 1869 bushels against ID, 724
bushels for last week, show a small
falling off, and from all sources were
as follows: From Philadelphia, 4, 1876
bushels; from Baltimore, $500 BUSH
els; from New York, 1850 bushels;
Pc. schooner Ben, 1000 bushels, and
by Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road Company, 1873 bushels. Dealers
are selling from store at 7S@S0 cents
for yellow and mixed corn, and 9OQo921
cents for white mcaling per bushel
highest figures including sacks. OATS at
present there is little or no demand for
oats, and the market may be quoted
dull. The demands principally are To-
cal, very few orders being received
from the country. Sells from store
at 65QD7O cents per bushel, sacks
included. -PEAs-The light stock
and very limited receipts continue to
influence the market and prices have al
vanced. The demand for Clay and Cow
peas are good, but fancy qualities are
in light request. We quote Cow at
81 60 and Clay at 81 6O@Sl to, and
White at 81 50 r bushel. --RICE-
The market is well supplied and the
demand is confined principally to the
Corn MEAL-The market is little
stronger. but no advance is mentioned.
The city meals are selling at 1O2! 01O5
cents e. busnel, sacks included.
PROVISIONS In the provision
trade, business has been very quiet and
the market uuder less favorable Wes-
tern alvices has shown some symp-
toms of weakness and prices have given
way slightly The Baltimore Gazette,
in speaking of the decline, says: Wes-
tern holders are gradually letting the
market down; and a lower range of
prices is probable, though we do not
anticipate any heavy decline, as the
stock is mostly held by strong parties.
Holders here are not altogether gov
erned by the Baltimore market, but
the effect of this weakness is
felt and as natural consequence there
is not so much tirmness displayed or
strong feeling entertained as has been
manifested for several weeks past. The
decline on our market was from about
| to cent. North Carolina Bacon
does not assume 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
inally. The sales are of little impor-
lance and the amount changing hands
isnot of sufficient size toregulate prices.
The demands principally are for hams,
the enquiry existing for sides and
shoulders being quite small. We
quote North Carolina bacon as
follows 9l1O cents for shoulders,
11O12 cents for sides, pop! for hog
round and 17!G0lS3 cents for hams.
We quote Western Smoked Meats Mt
les cents for shoulders, 12Ml2! cts.
for sides, 17@1S cents for hams. Dry
.Saltcd sells ut 10 cents for shout
ders, 11Go11t cents for SIDES.
LARD-North Carolina is scarce and
wanted. Sells at HOP cents p ID.
Northern steam refined. in buckets and
tubs, sells at 1O!@11a cents u ID.
POULTRY-The receipts of Chick
ems have been liberal and a large pro-
portion too small to sell readily, the
demand being mostly for fine large,
either young or old. Spring Chickens
sell mostly atS3 5O@S3 10 y doz. some
small lots selling still lower, but fine
and nearly full grown bring So 50@S4
p doz. Old do. are scarce and in good
request at s. 70, $leoS4 % Il dozen,
the latter rate for fine.
HAY.-The market is we'll supplied,
and the receipts are liberal, but are
barely in excess of the; demand, and
on this account prices are well sus
tanned We quote as follows:
