business, and coming as it did when
the Yellow fever prevailed in some
parts OF the South, which was made a
pretext by some cities for enforcing a
close quarantine against New Orleans,
its effect is more severely felt. A loss
of two or three weeks consumption at
this time of the year is enoughto make
a short supply ample, and already the
effect is apparent in the decline of
| % cent p It, on all articles. Tie for
elgn exports from all ports have been
less affected than the domestic trade
and have thus far not only kept up but
have actually increased. This how
ever, IS the natural result of the lower
| prices which prevail, and the trade has
| this safety valve, that Europe requires
and will take all of our surplus at
| prices which Will entail Il comparatively
| slight loss to holders.

result from the reduced prices of old
meats ut near the close of the season

to obtain early meats, and the prices

will cost will be SO much lower than

At the close there IS al increase in the
small consItmptiye orders. and the
guarantees having been raised 1t only
remains Tor financial matters to mend
so that exchanges will be free TO insure
an active trade for the remainder of
the season.
The following are the quotations to-
day: North Carolina Bacon sells at
11W12 cents for shoulders, l3QnI5
cents for sides, 15uD16 cents for hog
round and 20@1Il cents for hams. We
quote Western S.H0LcG at To- cents
for shoulders, Hop cents for sides,
and !7011S cents for hams. D,y Sat-
Ell SC IL at 10 cents for shoulders and
IL ceots for clear rib sides.--

Very few are arriving.
Prerequisites rates Of freight
continue extremely high by coastwise
vessels. The arrivals of tonnage, is
not equal to the requirements, and
berths 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 careOes at the rates demanded.
PEANUTS-There are no changes
Of prices Of peanuts during the cur
rent week, and prices Will probably
remain stationary till the new crop ar
lives. The export movement for the
month of September shows very
