PEANUTS-The peanut market Re

crop of this year is being received il

is not equal to the wants of buyers
and for this reason there is stronger
market than otherwise would probably
be. Buyers will readily purchase al

NS-In provisions bust
ness continues to be confined to sup
plying the merest necessities of con-
sumers, and the market under less en-
couraging reports from the West and
Baltimore is heavy and depressed and
buyers seem at present to have the
advantage OF the markets. The Gin
clnnati Price Current, in speaking of
the Western market, says as follows:
1.-The most prominent feature of the
market is an almost total absence of
any speculative demand for present
delivery. but still there are some buy
ers of round lots of meats at little
under current prices. The consump-
tive demand does not appear on the
surface to be as good as usual at this
season OF the year, but this is because
the orders come to larger extent thar
heretofore directly to packers rather
than through the hands of brokers,
and the statistics Of current shipments
show that there is steady and liberal
amount OF the hog product going into
domestic consumption. The foreign
exports from Atlantic ports last week
were much smaller than the preceding
week, and only about half what they
were for the corresponding week last
year.
