GBAIN.-Siuce W. last wrote the
entire gcain market has undergone no
reyulsion OF feeling or changes of
prices. The condition Of the market
is substantially the same as last week,
and our remarks previously written re-
u,,irc 10 alteration and We reproduce
them this wec! --CoRN-Contin-
ucs in the state ~ wc havo previously
written. The I?cw crop las not began
to arrive IN any quantity as yet, and
even If OFFERINGS were 1nadc Mt present
it would barely sustain the prices now
ruling, a, the demand is greater for
old than new corn. There have been
NJ cargo arrivals and no bulk traEsac-
tious were consequently reported.
From store prices were well maintain
ed and are without any important
change worthy OF mention. The re-
ceipts by steamer and sail from North
ern ports continue ample to supply the
demand. Tue receipts for the week
$3.50 bushels again 8, SCI bushels for
last week, show q decrease Of LII
bushels, and from all sources were as
follows: From Philadelphia, $500
bushels: from Baltimore. 1000 bushels; !;
from New York, 9, 500 bushels: and by
Wilmington & Weldon r. r., 450bush-

principally local and few orders are
being received from the country.
Dealers are selling from store at 1O0

a firlner feeling. We quote nominally

principally to the local trade. .--

unchanged. The city mills are sup

PRDyISIONS.-Iu the provision
market there is very little doing At
present beyond The ordinary iobhiug
trade. which, however, is inactive
owing To the continued financial DIS
arrangements, and prices continue ir
regular and unsettled with some de
cline on previous quotations.
I
speaking Of the Western provision
market, saws: Tho trade in this )ine
has not IT ttcria!ly improved. ArranGe-
ments have been made !,y which some
considerable lots cf old meats, which
were pressed for sale, have been taken
Of the market. or ii least held so that
they shOu!G not force prices stilllower,
but there has been no material in
crease i'll the demand. As regards
Mess Pork, The stock Of old is we'll
nigh exhausted. q few hundred barrels
being the sum total. Bulk shoulders
are also in light supply. brt OF side
there IS an ample stock for the current
demand; although if there should be
brisk trade they would Doubtless al
be taken before w meat becomes
sufficiently cured 20 smoke. There i
an ample supply Of old city Kettle req
dered lard, bat not much old prime
steam remains t.nsold. This malhet
holds the only considerable stock Of
Old meats in tho country, and as prices
are higher in most Of the distributing
markets holders have gained conf
dencc, especially as the current rates
here are lower than 1t can be nlado ont
of hogs at present price.
The new season has Only partially
cpened-that is. only ii few of the
packers have yet commenced opera
tIons. Some new meats have been
taken fer the English markets at re-
munerative prices, but it is difficult to
make contracts for future delivery
which justify payiaG currenr prices +or
Hogs, and the prices current for Green
Meats and Lard are such that only
those who desire to get new meats
ready for the early trade are disposed
to buy. The future OF the trade is SO
uncertain that packers are generally
disposed to wait for more settled
condition Of financial affairs before
they invest Their money in meats TO
lay away III their cellars
