| GRAIN-The grain market has
been very quiet all the week, and there
were no features other than those
we have mentioned in former reviews.
| CoRS-The influences bearing upon
this article have been just tho same
as we last reported There were no
arrivals this week aud no cargo sales.
At the close of last week We left the
market for cargoes nominal, with the
cargo of the Schooner E. Francis of
fering sale. The highest figures being
offered were, as our last report said,
! so cents, but not as it was written.
The cargo was being held a5 20 cents,
which figures the consignees refused
to accept. This week the cargo was sold,
one half ut 724 cents and the balance
! IT T4G0TG cents The market is quo
ted extremely dull at the latter fgnres,
aud receipts would hardly command
last rates paid. The market is kept
wellslIpplied by the large receipts from
| Northern ports, and under the infiu-
cnce of a depressed market North, ours
has freely parjaken OF the dizziness and
corn from store finds difficult sale at
our to-day's quotations. The receipts
! for the week, 1886 bushels, against
IS, 4G2 bushels for last week, show an
increase of only 1 1921 bushels, and
from all sources were "a follows

cents for white mealinG per bushel,

! Atpresentthere is little or rho demand for

dull. The demands principally are To-

included --PEAs-Th 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 GO and Clay at 81 600S1 65, and
White at 81 s. ? bushel.---RIcE-

PROVISIONS Provisions there
has been fair business doing and
prices are steady for all descriptions of
| Cut and Boxed meats. From the West
the reports are less encouraging and
! weakness is felt towards the close of
the week i'll consequence of these re-
ports. It is asserted, however, that
present prices will maintain their own
| until the maturing of the new crop of
| hog productions, at which time rapid
decline is anticipated, owing to
the large production of hogs this
| season. North Carolina Bacon does
does not assume very large proper
ton in the trade, and prices are not
materially effected by any decline of
other markets, or of other qualities of
meats Our quotations are given NOM
! inally, The sales are of little impor-
| lance and the amount changing hands
isnot OF sufficient size to regulate prices.
The demands principally are for hams,
