SOUTH RUSSIA.
ODESSA, March 2S-Our corn market has
continued in the same unsatisfactory state,
owing to the more and more complete ex-
haustion of stocks on the spot, from their in
anv fresh supplies from the Interior Conse-
Quently prices, instead of relaxing. are now
perceptibly hardening. After the holidays we
may expect to receive more considerable arri-
walls of wheat and other cereal articles. Polish
and Sandomirca wheat, rye and oilseeds are
completely wanting, and the market at Nico-.
laieff is no better stocked than our own.
In reviewing the market for the week
the New YORK Daily Bulletin says:
Matters have assumed a much more cheer
full tone since our last review, with quite pos
tive gain made on values and a considerable
increase of BUSINESS in many articles OF the
hog product. The complexion of the political
situation in Europe has been very generally
accepted as Indicative of the early
and being accompanied by Increased
attention and purchases by shippers OF what
may be termed army supplies, has formed
basis for renewed confidence, which was great
ly needed. A noticeable and healthy feature
of the Improvement, considering the stimu-
las obtained, has been the absence of unusual
excite Dent. Speculation has very naturally
obtained afresh impetus, and has increased
in volume, with here and there a "bull" to be
found who thinks the time has come for the
start which is to give full recovery of the late
break, but this class of operators are the ex-
ception, aud generally the manipulation of
contracts has as yet shown none of the
rapid tendencies which might be
expected on former experiences. A portion
Of the trade, too, are unwilling to be-
lieve that war is certain anti they hear that
fighting has actually commenced, and who
further take ground that, unless England be
drawn into the conflict, the outlet for our
sailed meats will be found to run much small
Ter than now calculated upon.
Lard sold with greater freedom for immedi-
ate delivery than last week, and dealers were
in somewhat better humor. At first the hard
ening of values was gradual and the daily ad
but toward the close Of last week and with the
opening of this sellers had somewhat greater
advantage. The inquiry for spot" lard came
two or three pretty full purchases made on
very evident speculative account.
The New York market is reported excited,
and the Bulletin of Monday says:
Through the past week, which has been one
of Remarkable activity the warlike reports and
rumors from Europe and the influences thence
arising, as reflected in the cable adyices from
the London and Liverpool markets, have had
most weight here in shaping the course of
trade in the breadstuf line. leading to an I'M
usually urgent inquiry for supplies OF the
principal kinds of flour and grain largely on
export account, but to an important extent
also on speculation, as well as to provide for
the legitimate wants Of buyers for home use.
Speculative dealings became very prominent

note in spring wheat, and towards the close in
-four. Prices were advanced materially right
