GRAIN-There has been no new
developments in this line of trade
| during the week. The volume of
| business has been small, perhaps
smaller than the time of season would
1nstlfy and the market generally has
b seu quiet but steady. CoRN-Noth
lug new has transpir d. There were
no cargo arrivals and there were no
large sales. Cargo quotations are
nominally at Sc cents for prime white
Dieallng, but any large amount offered
would probably reduce the figures, as
the receipts from other sources are
large and stock ample to supply the
demand. The receipSs for the week
We're as follows: From Baltimore,
2,12O bushels; from New York, 3,719
bushels; per Schr. Lucia Murchison,

DRY GOODS-There has been lit
tie or no revival in the jobbing trade
since the opening of the new year, and
in fact no activity in this branch of
business is anticipated until next
month, but the advance in prices of
the raw material has stitfened the tone
of the market for cotton fabrics, espe-
cially such as have been selling at less
than the cost of production on the
present basis Brown and bleached
cottons are especially firm, but dark
colored prints, which will soon be ont
of season, are scarcely as firm; while
medium colors, such as chocolate tints,
are held at full prices. There has
been a revision of prices on some
goods which had not previously been
adjusted upon the lower basis which
has prevailed during the last few
months.
PROVISIONS-The market during
all the former part of the week was
dull, but within the last two or three
days the jobbing demand has i'm
proved materially, 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 firm inquiry for
shoulders and sides for export at the
prices ruling Our stock of Western
meats is fair, but of North Carolina
and Virginia bacon light:
The following are the ruling
quotations in the provision mar
ket North Carolina Bacon sells
at 1O3 @l1 cents for shoulders, 1904
cents for sides, 133014 cents for hog
round and 1913 cents for hams. We
