PROVISIONS-There has been a
material increase in the demand for
bulk and cut meats, and the market is
fairly active. In the earlier part of
| the week there prevailed a general
| frmness in all lines of meats, which
was caused by continued hardening
of prices at Baltimore and the West.
| and general advance followed here.
Meats of all kinds and qualities have
gone up about to CTS. p 10. The re-
celpts and stock here are about equal to
the demand and the trade is beingsup-
Piled at the figures given below. North
Carolina bacon is in better stock, and
prices are well maintained. The fol-
lowing article on the provision market
| IS taken from the Cincinnati Price
Current. It says:
The extreme prices which were cur
rent week ago checked the demand
for nearly all articles, and the market
has been irregular during the last few
few days, but the stock is so much re-
duced that even with only moderate
consumption it will scarcely bridge
over until new meats are ready for
| market. Still with such extreme
prices there is a sensativeness which
would NOT be APPARENT OH q lower basis,
and some lots of Bacon and Bulk
Shoulders were pressed for sale yester-
day at decline of &c to &c from the
highest point; these, however, were
quickly taken, and there was a sharp
rally. The stock of Bacon and Bulk
Meats is estimated at not over $780,
600 pounds, the larger part of which
is Shoulders. There are Sugar-C Cured
Hams, and little Mess Pork, but of
City kettle rendered Lard there is not
enough for the jobbing trade. The
production of Summer Steam Lard is
small, but the local manufactures are
not using much, and therefore there is
some available for shipment.
The weather, which was cool, with
some frost on Monday and Tuesday
mornings, is again warm. Even I'M
der the most favorable circumstances
for Strengthening hogs in October, the
consumptive demand for meats must
be filled from the old stock for a
month to come, which will leave us
with clean market for the new
stock.

PEANUTS-There is scarcely any
business doing in the market at pres

until this begins to arrive we may ex-

DRY GOODS-There has been
material increase i'll the volume of
business in this line since our last re-
port. Country merchants are coming
in and buying to fair extent, and
general assortments, which shows that
the Autumn trade proper has actually
commenced. The weakness in fine
Brown and Blcached Cotton Goods,
previously noticed, has resulted in a
decline of !@1 cent. rer yard, but for
other goods, and oven for these at re-
duced prices, there is firmer tone to
the market, and more confident feel
ing prevails. In all branches of the
Dry Goods trade, such rs woo]ens,
clothing, dress goods, millinery, etc,
there is more activity.

ruled quiet ali the week, there being
only moderate demand for small lots
