GRAIN-Aside from the regular
channels of the trade, which are con
stltuted ly the sales to the country
dealers and the local demand for i'm
mediate consumption, there were few
transactions. CoRN-There has been
little doing in this article. The re-
ccipts have been moderately large and
were about equal to meet the wants of
buyers, but there was no excess of sup
ply and the market has ruled firm
with an advance on previous quota
tlons. No cargoes have arrived since
our last nor, as we have previously
written is there likely to be any until
we begin to receive the new crop.
which will hardly commence coming in
before the middle of October or early
III November. The receipts for the
week 6,24S bushels against 1920
bushels for last week show a decrease
of 1852 bushels; and from all sources

Guiding sacks.
PROVISIONS-Therc has been a
material increase i'll the demand for
fairly active. In the earlier part of
the week there prevailed a general
firmness in all lines of meats. which
was caused by continued hardening
of prices at Baltimore and tie West,
and general advance followed here.
Meats of all kinds and qualities have
ceipts and stock here are about equal to
the demand and the trade is being sup
piled at the figures given below. North
Carolina bacon is in better stock, and
prices are we'll maintained. The fol-
lowing article on tho provision market
is taken from the Cincinnati Price
Current. 1t says:
There has been further reduction
in stocks of al articles in this line, I'M
der steady consumptive demand, and
further advance in prices of bulk
meats and bacon. The supply of home
packed mess pork Is exhausted, and
we shall have to bring some from
Chicago or elsewhere to meet the retail
demand. The stock of bulk meats is
light, but it has been replenished to a
moderate extent by purchasers in
Chicago, and that city now holds only
about 100000 lbs. all told. Bacon
continues to sell well, Notwithstanding
the steady advance in prices. The
small supply of bacon and bulk meats
inspires the holders Of sugar cured
hams with mere confidence. Should
the weather be cool enough for
Strengthening hogs early in October,
half cured meats will take the place of
bacon to a large extent early in the
season, but should the weather be I'M
favorable the old stock of all kinds OF
meats will be thoroughly used up be-
fore any considerable quantity comes
upon the market. Lard has been dull,
but with light supply and small cur
rent production it holds on well.
