GRAIN.-CoRN-Si last review
the grain market has ruled firm. and
with good demand existing and only
light receipts, prices have advanced a
shade. Early in the week there H;ts
an active enquiry for cargoes but the
arrivals were light aud only one sale
was reported, that Of the Schooner
Ogeechee, containing 1900 bushels, at
773 cents IAN advance over previous
sales of .! centsl. At The close Of our
report the market is still firm and
arrivals would probably command
higher figures. There is little, il any,
change of prices from store. though
the market is stronger and our quota
lions are fully low. The receipts for
the week %, IA bushels against 81, 53533
bushels for last week, show IL decrease
of 6,7S9 bushels. Tho receipts from
all sources were as follows From
Philadelphia, 2,S72 bushels from Bal
timore, l. 1876 bushels from New York.
l 200 bushels per Schr. 4. Richards
10000 bushels per Schr. OgceeEee,
$500 bushels, and by Wilmington 4,
Weldon Railroad, 9SGhushels. Dealers
are selling from store at SIS cts. FOX mixed
and 80 cents for white mca!ing, highest
figures intending sacks.

PROVISIONS There has been Il
strong market for all articles during
the week Early in the week the Bal
timore and Cincinnati markets eased
up, and there was less demand, with
free offerings and sales at shade low
er pric s. Holders have confidence
however in the future, and all articles
were held firmly. For the past day
or SO the advices have been better, and
the market may be written as closing
steady at last quotations.
The receipts of North Carolina and
Virginia bacon have increased, and
sales were made during the week. The
market, however, is not very firm, and
our quotations are full. We quote
