GRAIN-The week has brought
forth no new issues upon which we
can form words for the writing of our
present report. We shall have to give
in substance what we have previously
written, adding only thereto such facts
as have come within our knowledge
during the week. CoEN-The arrival
of cargoes this week were three with
names Of vessels and contents as fol-
lows: Schr Lillian, 1,n72 bushels; Schr
Lena, l, $50 bushels; Schr Ann Rambo,
l 300 bushels. The cargoes were con-
signed to Messrs DeRosset &; Co, who
disposed of the same at 50 cents rer
bushel. The market is supposed to be
sound, but there are several cargoes en-
route, and it is generally conceded
these will probably be sold at slight
decline. At the close, however, there
is nothing more than a feeling Of weak
ness to warrant his opinion and we
hold to the quotation of IS cents. The
receipts for the week 16, 900 bushels,
against 10, 1876 bushe for last week,
show an increa of 574 bushels. and
from all sources were as follows: From
Philadelphia, $3.50 bushels; from New
York, 1000 bushels from Baltimore,
1928 bushels; per Schr John from New
York, 1000 bushels; per Schrs Lillian,
Lena. and Ann Ramho from Hyde and
Eastern counties, 1922 bushels; and
by Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road, l 600 bushels. From store there is
no distinction made between white,
yellow and mixed, and for those the
quotations are ST 05 per bush sacks
included. OATs.-Dealers are selling
from store at Is cents without and so
cents p bushel with bags. We quote
ouly a retail demand. PEAs-A some
what better feeling prevails il the
market and prices are a shade higher.
There Lave been sales of Cow and Clay
at 81 10 to 81 25, highest figures to
include sacks; VIII tie at 81 % to 81 so.
RICE.-The demand is fair without adj
equate supply. Clean Carolina is held
at 81 to s. cents By the cask Rough
is i'll small supply, and sells at 81 30
to 81 10, according to quality. Corn
MEAL. The mills are filing ord. rs at
81 O7s per bushel.
PROVISIONS.-For Provisions the
market is c: sier-both here and at the
west, but prices are well maintained,
though the tendency is rather in favor
of buyers. The Cincinnatti Price Cur
rent in speaking of the western market
says as follows ''The continued large
receipts of hogs at Chicago have had
depressing influence, but this has
been counteracted by the advance in
prices of hogs, and the current prices
of meats are now relatively full cent
per pound lower than they can be re-
placed at current prices OF hogs The
foreign exports, while less than during
the CORRESPONDING week last year,
were liberal, and DO not show the
immense falling of in consequence
of the higher prices cnrr at, that has
been 50 freely predicted. The trade
rs a whole s in Il heaithtill condition,
with steady foreign and home de-
maud, and if there Is iiti!,. speculation
it Is perhaps quite as well for the final
outcome of tie sea On Layd las been
III better 1esnand auI t..::n, ":.I while
holders lave been t:n.te wiling to
reaiigc, they have been ab.e to obtain
pretty full prices for present and flu
ture delivery. 1t the close the tone
Of the market is weaker, with more
fire sellers Of nearly all articles at pre-
rious / rices, bat buyers demanding
concessions of ! cent per ID.
