GRAIN-The grain market has been

prices and no improvement OF feeling.
Beyond the usual demand existing from
the shipping trade and the small con-
snmptive demand from the city trade,
there has been no movement. There
were no arrivals of cargoes, and con-
sequently quotations are nominal.
Prime white cargoes would probably
range from 20 to rs centssas per quail
ity. Up to the present time there
were no arrivals of new corn, and the
sales from store Were principally -or
old, and for this there is no change of
prices reported. The receipts for the
week, IL, 292 bushels, against 1885
bushels for last week, show falling
off of 6,694 bushels, aud from all
sources were as follows From Phil
adelphia 1895 bushels 4, from New
York, 5000 bushels from Balti-
more, 1900 bushels; per Schr. J. d.
Williams, from New York, 1900
bushels, and by Wilmington &
Weldon railroad 267 bushels Dealers
are selling from store at SO@S5 cents
for yellow and mixed corn, and 90@92.
cents for white mcaling per bushel,
highest figures including sacks. OATs-
Atpresent there is little orno 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 stores
at 65Q17O cents per bushel, sacke |
included --PEAs-The light stock |
and very limited receipts continue to |
influence the mark ct and prices continue |
high. The demand for Clay and Cow |
peas are good, but fancy qualities are
in light request. We quote Cow ut |
81 co and Clay at 81 G0D$1 50, and |
White at 81 IS p busLel. ---RIcE-
The market is well supplied and the
demand is confined principally to the |
local trade COM MEAL-The |
market is steady and unchanged. The
city mills are supplying the demands
at 97!c@0$1 90 y bushel.
PROVISIONS-The has been only |
moderate business doing in this line |
during the current week. There are |
no change of prices and very little |
shrinking of values, though it is evil |
dent that the financial crisis has had |
a considerable check on the export |
movement, and with liberal receipts
the stock is increased thereby. The
Cincinnati COnH1c.cial Rcrictr sayso of |
tre Western trade and markets
'There has been little business in
this line during the week. The Vel
low Fever in the South, and the crisis
in financial circles having checked even
this small order trade, while large
transactions are out OF the question.
The foreign exports for the week end
ing last Saturday, from all Atlantic
ports, were liberal, and there was Il
further advance III Lard, but at the
close prices are not much better than
nominal for any article, and while
there is not much pressure to sell, it
Is evident that buyers could obtain
material concessions on round lots.
North Carolina bacon is scarce and
higher rates than our quotations
(Which are nominaD could probably be
obtained for prime lot. Western
meats are unchanged.
The following are the quotations of
provisions today: North Carolina
Bacon sells as follows : 90 10
cents for shoulders, IL % Il cents
for sides, II q 123 cents for hog
round and 17!018! cents for hams.
We quote Western Smoked Meats at |
1G3 cents for shoulders, 12@124 cts. |

ders, 11Q011! cents for sides.

POULTRI-Thc receipts Of Chick

r loz. Old do. are scarce and in good |
request at s. 10, $411St - p dozen,
the latter rate for fine.
HAY.-Ihe 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:

EG IS are scarce and wanted. There ,
i, considerable increase in the demand
and fresh lots Will readily command
25W:}0 cents + dozen By the quantity.
Very few are arriving.
FREIGHrS-The rates of freight
, continue extremely high by coastwise
vessels The arrivals Of tonnage, is
not equal to the requirements, and
consequently bcrths for charter and
otherwise are in demand and
command high rates. Ocean freight
and charters are well up, but
vessels find very little difficulty to OBJ
tain carGoes at the rates demanded.
PEANUTS-Thc Peanut market
continues to maintain II moderate de-
gree of firmness, and receipts com
mani full rates. Oar information re-
gnrdiDg the growing crop which ap-
/ paaI1d in our last, and in which was
! stated that there would be large in

CT last year, was much exaggerated
and was based upon information re-
cciycd by rs from unreliable source.
Since then we have heard from the
| crops in different sections of the pea
