| PROVISIONS There is a slight
Improvement of feeling and the tons
of the market Is somewhat stronger
though as yet no advance has beer
mentioned. The encouraging reports
of the Cincinnati and Baltimore mar.
kets has had the effect to stimulate the
feelings of buyers to effect larger pur-
chases at the North, and on this ac-
count we have in store large stock,
but the demands this week are 10
larger than the previous one and the
business was on no larger scale. North
Barolina bacon has also been in good
| enquiry, but the stock is small and
transactions are only ON a limited
scale. The demands principally are
for hams, the enquiry existing for
| sides and shoulders being quite small.
We quote North Carolina bacon al
follows 9@1O cents for shoulders,
11@12 cents for sides, 12@12I for hog
round and 17!@18! cents for hams.
We quote Western, Smoked Meats at 81
@9! cents for shoulders, IL 14@111 cents
for sides, 16@18 cents for hams. Dry
Salted sells at S1@8l cents for shoul-
ders, 1O1@10! cents for sides.
LARD-North Carolina is scarce and
wanted. Sells at HOP cents u ID.
Northern steam refined, in buckets and
tubs, sells at 10l@11l cents u 1b. -
EGGS-There is a larger supply at
present than there has been for some
weeks past. In consequence of this
there is falling off in the demand,
and dealers find it impossible to pay
more than 1920 cents p dozen.
HAY.-There has been a good de-
mand for Hay during the week, both
export and consumptive demand being
large. Prices have, however, shown
very little if any improvement, and we
quote the market steady at the follow
ing rates

FREIGHTS.- changes of rates
in freight during the week have been
few. By coastwise the amount of ton
mage is about equal to the enquiry for
bcrths, but by foreign vessels they are
extremely high and wanted. Lumber
dealers are offering full rates for char
ters, but produce offering shipment is
qnitc small.
PEANUTS. The scarcity of the
stock and the light receipts of the past
few weeks has had good effect on the
market and this week we note a much
stronger feeling, though no positive
advance. The market closed firm at
