FLOUR AND MEAL. -State and Western brands are
moderately inquired for by home dealers and shippers,
while they are coming forward and being offered for sale
with less freedom. Hence prices display renewed firm-
ness and regularity. The speculative demand has par-
tially subsided, but without occasioning any uneasiness
among factors. The sales which have been effected have
been mostly at rates within the annexed range :-
doll. dole.

Freights are again firmer, with engagements to Liver-
pool of about 20,000 bushels, at 11d. to 12d., in ship's
bags, closing at the higher rate ; rosin, in lots, at 3s. 6d
to 4s. ; and 1,000 bales cotton at 5.16 d. To London,
6,000 bushels grain at 14d. in ship's bags, and som
rosin at 4s. 6d. per 3101bs. To Bremen, 3,000 bushels
, grain at 24c., and 300 bales cotton at lc. To Antwerp,
250 bales cotton at ie., to fill up. The Skipping List
gives for three days :-" Freights are without material
change, though, if any thing, a firmer feeling pervades
the market. For Great Britain there is less available
room than last week, which, in view of slightly increased
offerings of breadatuffs, has enabled shipowners to obtain
the advantage again. Transient vessels are scarce, and
command ready employment at remunerative rates in all
directions : this is particularly the case with large ships
adapted to the cotton trade. There is a scarcity of ton-
nage in all the leading ports of the Union, and the pro.
bability of continued heavy exports of the leading staples
of the country does not warrant the belief that there
will be any material increase, at least for some months
to come. We understand that some of our shipowners,
who have vessels employed in the war service, have re•
ceived offers from the Allied Governments of a renewal
of their charters, but at a slight reduction from the ori-
ginal rates, and that some of them, having refused to
accept any abatement, have been notified that their ships
would be continued in the transport service for an inde.
finite period, under a clause in the old charters. A tr.
legraphic despatch was received yesterday from New
Orleans, stating that all the unengaged ships in that
port had been taken up to load cotton for Liverpool at
4d. The engagements to Liverpool include 140,000
bush. grain, closing at 11d. to 114 d. in bulk and ship's
bags ; 3,000 bales cotton, 9.321. ; 1,500 boxes cheese
and 500 pkgs. butter, 40s. ; 1,800 bbls. lower rate ; and
by the Atlantic, 532 tcs. lard and 60 or 70 cases india-
rubber goods, 90e. ; and 600 bbls. apples, ss. To Lon-
don, 3,000 bush. wheat, 150, in ship's bags ; 30 boxes
indiarubber shoes, 355. ; and 380 boxes spermaceti 555.;
the nominal quotations for turpentine are ss. to spermaceti,
6d.
per 2801 b., and rosin is 4s. 6d. per 3101 b."
