eastern counties is about exhausted,
and that the arrivals from the Northern
markets will probably all come to
order. The receipts for the week IL, 651
bushels against 1886 bushels for
las5week, show decrease of Z, 335 bush
els, and from all sources were as fol-
lows From Philadelphia, A, 40 bush
els; from Baltimore, 2,196 bushels;
from New York, 90, 600 bushels; per schr.
Sunny South, from New York, $500
bushels, and by Wilmington and by
Weldon railroad S35 bushels. Dealers
are selling from store at SO@S5 cents
for yellow and mixed corn, and o0@924
cents for white mealing per bushel,
highest figures including sacks. OARS
i Atpresentt there is little or no demand for
oats, and the market may be quoted
dull. The demands principally are 10
cal, very few orders being re eived
from the country. Sells from stores
at 65@70 cents per bushel, sacke
lncluded.--PEAs- 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
in light request. We quote Cow at
81 60 and Clay at 81 60@s1 IS, and
White at 81 s. q bushel. -R1cE-
The market is we'll supplied and the
| demand is confined principally to the
local trade. MEAL-The
market is steady and unchanged. The
city mills are supplying the demands
at 97sc@S1 90 u busheI.
PROFESSIONALISM provision trade
at present is very quiet, buc prices
have ranged very regular, and we have
had steady market all the week,
without any material reduction of quo
tations. The Cincinnati Price Current,
commenting upon the trade, says:
GAS the season approaches when
pork-packing will again be in order,
the disposition to sell out old stock in
creases, and although there has been
an increased consumptive demand for
Mess Pork, and fair demand for
| other meats, it has been met freely,
and In some instances concessions have
been made to secure buyers. An in
crease in the foreign exports from the
seaboard cities tends reproduce a more
confident feeling, but this is more
marked as regards Lard than in meats,
Il r. Il
material advance, which it seems prob
able will be maintained, as it is based
upon Legitimate export and domestic
demand, while stocks are not excessive
for this time of the year. 1t must not
be forgotten, however. that it would
be easy to increase the current make
of Lard by rendering the whole hog
except shoulders and hams, if the
price should advance SO as to Justify it.
The prevalence of a virulent type of
the yellow fever in some parts of the
South has doubtless contributed to de-
press the market for Bacon and Bulk
Meats ,here, not so much because of
already occurred, although that is con-
siderable, AS from anticipation of still
greater Interruptions in the future
The loss of few weeks consumption
now could never be recovered, and
coming at the close of the season there
would be a greater depreciation in the
value of stock than would be likely to
occur at another time.
The following are the quotations of
provisions o-day: North Carolina
Bacon sells as follows: 90 10
cents for shoulders, IL "a II cents
for sides, IL "a -. cents for hog
round and 174@1S! cents for hams.
We quote Western Smoked Meats at
1If cents for shoulders, 12@12I cts.
for sides, 1701S cents for hams. Dry
Stated sells at 10 cents for shout
ders, 11@114 cents for sides.
LARD-North Carolina is scarce and
wanted Sells at 114@12 cents p 10.
Northern steam refined, in buckets and
tubs, sells at 1O!@11! cents p ID.
POULTRY-The receipts of Chick
ems have been liberal. The de-
demand being mostly for fine large,
either young or old. Spring Chickens
sell mostly So 5O0s3 70 u doz, some
small lots selling still lower, but fine
and nearly full grown bring 81 5O@S4
r doz. Old do. are scarce and in good
request at 50 IS, S4@e$l % u 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:
Penn. Timothy. 80. 81 5O@1 60
New York, ............. l 3O@1 40
Eastern. O0G0I ~
EGGS are scarce and wanted. There
is considerable increase in the demand
and fresh lots will readily command
2O@25 cents T. dozen by the quantity.
Very few are arriving in such condi-
ton that they can be sold without re-
handling.
FREIGHTS-The rates of freight
continue extremely high by coastwise
vessels. The arrivals of tonnage, is
not equal to the requirements, and
consequently berths for charter and
otherwise are in demand and
command high rates. Ocean freight
