GRAIN-CoRN--There are no spe-
cial features of the week worthy of re-
cord. The non-arrivals of cargoes from
Eastern counties has rather had the
tendency to produce little stronger
feeling in values, but no important
changes are reported, and owing to
the excessive large receipts from North
ern markets the market may be writ
ten as. closing very quiet and NOM
inally easier. It is thought that arri-
walls would perhaps bring last figures,
CSC cents but in this there is no conf
dence ito be placed, as there is now a
large stock here and the daily receipts
are fully equal to supply the demands.
SO at present there seems to beno pos
tive tirmness in the future tone of the
market, rs it is thought that prices
have attained their highest position
this season. The receipts for the
week 1S,205 bushels against 41,449
bushels last week, show a falling off of
q, 244 bushels, and from all sources
were as follows From Philadelphia,
5,1S6 bushels; from Baltimore, 1921
bushels from New York, 1926 bush

York, $500 bushels /; per schr. ). d.
Williams, from do. 1850 bushels and
by Wilmington &, Weldon rail road.
1,O23 bushels. Prices from store are
more unsettled and prime white in
sacks is quoted 5 cents lower. Dealers
are selling from store az follows: vel
COW corn and mixed so to So cents and
white corn at 80 to 923 cents T. bushel,
highest figures including sacks. OARS 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
ut G5G170 cents per bushcl, sacks
included. ---PEAs-Th light stock
and very limited receipts continue to
influence the market and prices have adj
vanced. The demand for Clay and Cow
peas are good, but fancy qualities are
III light request. We quote Cow Mt
81 60 and Clay at 81 G0Q0$1 65, and
White ut 81 - p bushel. --RIcE-

PROVISIONS report con-
tinuance of the firmness of the market
and an active trade in bacon and bulk
meats at steady prices. The tirmness
OF the trade is due, in part, to the con-
timed strength exhibited in the
market here aud AZ the principal pro-
vision cities, where it is asserted that
the strength is due to the small stock
held in Southern markets. Our pri-
waite reports for the Western trade
give us assurance that the market
there is kept firm by the late corner
and by the stock being held
principally by spectators. 1t is
asserted that the season OF this
year will open with the pork packers
and bacon curers heavily stocked and
that there will be a surplus stock in
those markets and the trade at present
is not i'll very satisfactory condition.
North Carolina bacon has been in good
enquiry, but the stock is small and tran
sactions are only on a limited scale
The demands principally are for hams,
the enquiry exis ing for sides and
shoulders being quite small. We
quote North Carolina bacon as
follows 9@10 cents for shoulders,
11@12 cents for sides, 12@12l for hog
round and 17!@1Sl cents for hams.
We quote Western Smoked Meats at
11Qo cents for shoulders, 124 q H. cts.
for sides, 17@1S cents for hams Dry

ders, 3QD12 cents for sides.

wanted. Sells at HOE cents p ID.

tnbs, sells at 10I@112 cents p ii,
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 we'll sus-
tanned. We quote as follows:
