Accounts from the Paris Grain and Flour Mar-
kets state that there has been a further fall in
prices. In flour, although sellers are not inclined
to maintain the prices of last week, which ruled
from 101 f. to 106 f. per sack, still they are anxious
to sell at a reduction for inferior sorts; consequently
the choice quality of flour is at firm quotations,
while other kinds are lower. Fine flour is bought
by the retailers at 105 f. to 106 f. per 157 kilos.,
and 2ds and ads from 98f. to 104 f. The factors
declared the sales of yesterday to average only 97f.
930. per sack. In the Grain Market, at the open-
ing, wheat was quoted at 50c. and 75. per hectolitre,
and a half less than previous sales, but subsequently
there was a recovery, and bargains were closed at
better rates ; howeVer, the feeling that prices have
a downward tendency was evident. Rye was very
difficult of sale at a slight reduction ; and oats were
offered at 50 centimes per 115 kilos. less for best
sorts, and 1 franc less for inferior, without finding
purchasers.

Intelligence from the Vienna Bourse shows no
signs of improvement there in the Stock and Money
Markets. The 5 per Cent. Metallics are } lower,
and the 41 Stock is heavy at 64. Old Bank Shares
are down to 885, and New do. to 90. Shares of
the New Credit Bank are in demand at 215, and
Austrian Railway Shares rule at 193. Exchange
on London 10.50, and on Paris 1291.
Although no decided alteration has occurred in
the condition of the English Stock Market this
morning the prices marked are rather weaker, and
the speculative transactions are less extensive.

ill Consols at 86} ; but for the account the
quotations have been dull at 86! 1, which is about
per cent. under yesterday's closing values. The
