GRAIN-There is some improve.
ment IN the grain market over last
week, and the general tone is stronger
and more healthy. CORN-The re-
celpts Of corn for some weeks past
have been large, and the consequence
is that buyers have kept out of market
in order to force prices down. For the
last ten days the receipts were light and
the demand large; considerable ship
ments to the interior reduced the stock
and this week there has been an ad-
vance of prices to replenish stocks.
There was only one arliva! of cargo
during the week, the schr William.
containing 1000 bushels, which sold
at S6 cents. At the close to-day the
market is quoted firm for cargoes at
the same figures.

follows: From Philadelphia, 1850
bushels; from Baltimore, 2, 100 bush
els; from New York, $500 bushels;

PROVISIONS market during
all the former part of the week was
dull, but within the last two or three
days the jobbing demand has IN
proved materislly, and the market at
the close exhibits rather more life and
spirit. The trade has been principally
to fill country orders, the demand from
this source being about as large as
usual. At the West prices have been
steady, there being a firm inquiry for
shoulders and sides for export at the
prices ruling. Our stock of Western
meats is fair, but of North CaroIi2a
and Virginia bacon light:
The following are the ruling
quotations in the provision mar
ket : North Carolina Bacon sells
cents for sides, 134@14 cents for hog
round and 18@19 cents for hams. We
quote Western Smoked at 9@9k cents
and 16@17 cents for hams. Dry Sdtted
sells at 8@83 cents for shoulders and
11@12 cents for clear rib sides.-

COTTON YARNS.-The market |
ruled quiet all the week, there being
only moderate demand for small lots

the quantity.
DRY GOODS-There is soarce], |
anything doing in this market beyona
filing of few small orders foF
staple cotton and wooden fabrics. l.
the Northern markets while there is
evidently an effort 60 talk the n rkst
strong, and the manufacturers have in
some instances put prices of cottou
goods up, it is very doubtful whether
they can sustaii an advance, and ii eI g
