900 bushels at 81 cents. The last sale
effected was at Sc cents, and the mar
ket is quoted steady at those figures
prime articles would probably bring a
fraction higher rates, but the receipts
coming forward from the Northern
cities are extremely heavy and the
trade is being supplied from this
source: In prices from store there is
also slight decline Of yellow corn,
but prime white remains unchanged.
The receipts for the week, Al, 449 BUSH
els, against IA, 234 bushels, shows an
increase of 27,215 bushels, and from
all sources were as follows From

Railroad Company Ats bushels. Dealers
are selling from store at S0@S2! cents
for mixed and97l @$1 for white mealing
p bushel, sacks included. OATs-At
present there is little or no 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 store
at -65@7O cents per bushel, sacks
included. --PEAs-The light stock
and very limited receipts continue to
influence the market and prices have adj
vanced. The demand for Clay and Cow
peas are good, but fancy qualities are
in light request. We quote Cow at
81 60 and Clay at 81 60@$1 IS, and
White at 81 IS u bushel Rice
The market is well supplied and the
demand is confined principally to the
Corn MEAL-The market is a little
stronger. but no advance is mentioned.
The city meals are selling at 1O2! @105
cents p bushel, sacks included.
PROVISIONS-The Provision mar
ket has exhibited e strong feeling all
the week, and small advance has
been gained. The advance was prin-
cipally owing to the small stock in
market and to the tirmness of the
trade III the Western and Northern
markets. Our private reports from
these markets are to the effect that the
increased hog production of the past
wear shows such an increase over last
year that it is thought that The new
season will open with the pork packers
and bacon curers heavily stocked and
that there will be a surplus stock in
chose markets and the trade at present
is not in a very satisfactory condition.
The advance i'll our market this week
was from l to cent all round. North
Carolina bacon has been in good en-
quiry. hut the stock is small and tran
sactions are only on n limited scale.
The demands principally are for hams,
the enquiry exis ing for sides and
shoulders being quite small. We
quote North Carolina bacon as
follows 9@1O cents for shoulders,
110012 cents for sides, 120112 for hog
round and 17!GD1Sl cents for hams.
We quote Western Smoked Meats at
11GQ11l cents for shoulders, 100 -! cts.
for sides, 17@11S cents for hams. Dry
.Sa1tcd sells at SI@S! cents for shout
ders, HOP 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 10i@11! cents i ID.
PEANUTS-For some few weeks
past there has been steady hard
ening of prices, but this week
there has been decided Jump on
former rates, caused by the falling of
in tine receipts coming to market and
by the heavy export whereby the stock
has become considerably reduced
The present high rates, it is thought
will continue until the new crop AZ
rives, Us it is generally conceded that
most OF the Old crop has been brought
to market. The stock in dealers hands
is about 10. 900 bushels, most of which
is held for export. We quote the mar
llet firm at the following prices:
Ordinary .......-..S 81 % to l &c
Prime 40 to l 81
Extra Prime. ..1 60 to / 7l
Fancy so to 2 OF
UAY.-The market is we'll supplied
and the receipts are liberal, but are
barely III excess of the demand, anC
on this account prices are well sus
tanned. We quote as follows:
Penn. Timothy 80. ......Sl .50@D1 &C
New York, ....... ! 5001 g
! East rn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. l 65@1 Il
EGGS-The receipts have beer
large and the offerings in excess of til,
demand, and with continued presslu,
to sell prices have declined, and fresl
lots are now selling at 10000 cents I
dozen, but few arriving in such condi
ton that they can be sold without re
handling.
POULTRY-Th receipts of Chick
ems have been liberal and q large pro
portion too small to sell readily, tn
demand being mostly for fine large
either young OF old. Spring Chicken
sell mostly at s. 1898 p doz., som
