LIE IluEh6t tue past week
has been very firm in tone, and for
| good qualities Of grain a slight adj
vance was obtained, but there was not
a great deal of trading and we have
no Quotable change to note in prices
/ Conn. The offerings were light IL r the
! demand, and the stock III store being
also light and decreasing, thu re was a
slight firmer feeling on the market,
and cargOes, had they arrived, would
probably have obtained better prices
! than have heretofore been mentioned.
/ The sales were only small lots
/ by rail. EOr these some advance was
! paid. GA Wednesday evening the
/ Schr Williams cargo OF 200 bushels
was offered on market, but al the
! close of our report had not met sale.
/ The cargo being Of very superior quail
! ity, 81 cents was offered. Our quo
tations 20 day for cargoes are 95 cents
/ for prime white and 80 to 92I cents
/ for inferior qualities The receipts
/ for the week 10, $50 bushels, against
! S.077 bushels for last week, show q
! decrease OF 1927 bushels aud from

York, $500 bushels ; per Schr William

pEANU rs The market continues
strong with prices wei! up and no
probability OF any reduction at the
present. The new crop is being mar
keted to | rye extent and we have
probably received its bulk There is
a good enquiry from dealers for ex-
polt and the quotations given to-day
will readily be paid for good lots. The
| following are the quotations:

| PROVISIONS The market cont:n-
ues firm under more favorable advices
from the North aud West and quota
tons have been advanced during the
week to cent. The trade III bulk
and boxed meats continues good and
there is large export movement to
the country surrounding our market.
For North Carolina and Virginia bacon
there is only q moderate enquiry and
the stock though light is sufficiently
large to meet the wants of buyers.
The following article on the western
market is from the Cincinnati Price
| Current !:
There has been quiet firm tone to
the market since our last, and prices
sustained a further advance Oh bulk
changed much. The foreign exports
for the week ending last Saturday were
considerably short. in the aggregate,
of thosr of the corresponding week
last year, but the general falling off in
the summer curing is an Offset to that,
while the domestic consUmptlye de-
mand continues good, and this g ives
holders more confidence. Lard is es-
pecially strong because the current
!. make is Eot sufficient to meet the cur
rent wants of manufacturers, whereas
, year ago it was in excess of those
wants, which were probably quite as
