PROVISIONS has been
fair cor sumption and order demand
for meats of all kinds during the past
week, aud prices were sustained until
hOIuuy. "ACd Was SlISuJ re-
action III favor of Buyers. The foreign
exports for the seaboards, says
western exchange, for last week shows
pared with the corresponding week of
last year. which combined with the
other causes of depression, has had
the opposite of an assuring effect
On the other hand the stocks in the dis
tributing markets of the South are
small and the supply at the west is es-
timated considerable less than it was
a year ago. so that the packers feel
confident that the natural increase of
the domestic demand will compensate
for any probable falling off in the
wants of foreign countries. North
Carolina bacon continues scarce and
there is very little doing owing to the
small stock. Quotations of this quail
ity of meats are nominal.
To day the quotations for meats are
as follows:
DRY GOODS-The warmer weather
of the past few days has evidently had
the effect of turning the attention of
the country trade to Spring goods, and
there has been considerable demand
from the interior markets for a gene
raj assortment of goods, but the bust
ness is done chiefly upon orders. The
trade is comparatively light as yet.
The further advance in the raw mate
rial makes a stronger tone to the mar
ket for cotton fabrics, and some arti-
Giles are tending upward, but there is
no quotable advance ON staple articles,
except That the price of the standard
makes of prints is more uniformity loo
for ali Spring or medium colors.-
Wooden good meet little demand and
are steady III price, except jeans, which
are selling well, and some grades at a
little better prices.

change In the peanut market former
prices being well sustained and fair
amount of receipts with a good trade

amount some 10000 bushels have been
received and about 10000 bushels are
still held in first hands. The snip

of the season ara upwards of 10000
bushels which leaves an estimated
stock on hand of 10000 bushels.
