GRAIN our last report o,
the grain market there has been some
Improvement of feeling in the market
owing principally to the better condi-
ton of finances and to the scarcity OF
stock, combined with light receipts.

mentioned there has been some i'm
provement in this article and we have

PROVISIONS the week
the market has improved materially in
tone, but prices do not show any
general advance, as the stock of old
crop bacon is large and there is none
of The new cure on market. The
general impression is that prices have
about reached their. lowest point for
the present season, and speedy reac
ton of prices will come as soon as the
new crop of hos productions is re-
celved. Tue advance of the week was
from to cent p n. The market is
poorly supplied with North Carolina
bacon, and there is only light en-
quiry existing.
Speaking on the trade, the Cincin-
natl Price Current says: 1.-The foreign
exports arc not only up to the cores
ponding date last year, hut ere actually
larger, while the commercial and finan-
cial situation in England and on the
Continent, in the light of later intelli-
gence, is known to be less serious than
it was reported to be, and all threaten
ing of n panic there having passed
away, there is no doubt that the de-
mand for our surplus pork will be fully
as large as it has been during the past
year. and it is not improbable that it
will be largely increased if prices re-
main at about their present level"
