dour-The market here for western flour since our
last' has been dull, and, although the stock is reduced
very low, some holders, in view of the opening of canal
navigation, have evinced an anxiety to readse, and prices
have become unsettled, and lower rates accepted.

Ohio command, in small lots, 7 dolls. 50c. to 7 dolls.
