BREADSTUFFS.

FRIDAY, April 24, 1868, p.m.
Tho market has this week been fairly active for flour,
wheat, and rye, with an advance in prices. Corn and
oats have also been active, but at some decline in prices.
Flour has not come forward in quantities sufficient 0
meet the daily increasing demand ; stocks have been con-
sequently reduced, and assortments somewhat broken,
causing an advance in prices of 25 to 50c. per bbl on nearly
all grades. The demand has been largely for export. The
British provinces, the West Indies, and Europe have all
bought freely. The local trade has also been well repre-
sented, but for coastwise shipment the trade has been but
moderate. Local millers have not been able to do much,
wheat continuing relatively higher than flour.
Wheat has been taken freely for export, with a moderato
business for consumption. Spring, for arrival, has brought
sc. more money, but on the spot has not been quite so
firm. Winter wheats have not varied materially, being
relatively in fair supply. The first arrivals from the canals
are expected on Monday, and many orders are held back in
consequence, so that is probatle the demand will be com-
mensurate with the increased supply.
Corn has been in much better supply. An overdue fleet
from the North arrived on Monday and Tuesday, and the
receipts from Baltimore have been liberal ; under which
accumulations prime new mixed declined on Wednesday
to $1 171-, recovering yesterday to $1 191-, and closing to-
day at $l 18. The business has been quite brisk. The
distilling and other home demand has been very large,
and shippers have been more active. Large quantities in
store have been closed out, in addition to the current
arrivals.

Rye has been in demand for distilling, for milling and
for export to Germany, and prices have advanced 10c per
bush. The sales to-day included Western to arrive from
the canal at $2 05.
Oats have been fairly active, but the pressure to sell
has weaken,td the market, and prices are slightly lower.
13arl:y and barley malt are nearly out of market.
The following aro the closing quotations : Flour, No.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
NEW YORK, Friday Night, April 25.
There is but little improvement in the volume of regu-
lar commercial transactions; and the only feature of im-
portance in trade is the advance in prices of leading staples
of domestic produce —breadstuffs, hog products, cotton,
naval stores, petroleum, /cc., which may be attributed to a
great variety of causes, but evidencing that the agricul-
tural capacities of our country require a much better de-
velopment than is now produced.
Cotton closed at a decided advance on the week. The
same is true of flour, wheat, and rye ; corn and oats are
lower. Tobacco is firmly held wtih more doing. Groceries
have b_en fairly active and prices close atasliiht improve-
ment.
Provisions show a pretty general advance, butter onl9
showing weakness and decline under increasing supplies.
Pork has been under speculative manipulation, and ad-
vanced at this afternoon's 'Change to $2B 50 cash, the
highest figure in many months. Other hog products
have been buoyant, prime lard closing at 181 c, pickled
hams 171 c, short ribbed bacon 16c. Beef has also ad"
vane; d,lndia mess being taken for export at s4lc per tc.
Cheese has met with a liberal export demand and the
stock is reduced. The extent of the export demand is
cured moats has rarely been equalled in this market, and
some apprehension begins to be felt respecting our oiva
supplies.
Hides have become fairly active at 201 c gold for dry Ric)
Grande, and Die to 21c for Buenos Ayres. Leather has
be..ome scarce. t.
Naval stores are generally firmer, but closed quio
Spirits turpentine sold to-day at 70c to arrive, and 73c 03
the spot, but other articles were somewhat nominal.
Oils show continued activity in crude whale, with sales
of 4,000 bbls prime at 75c per gallon. Other oils are in
better demand.
Metals remain quiet. East India goods are firm, with $
continued good business in gunny cloth.
Petroleum has been without important variation in crude:
though more active, but refined has become scarce, and
standard white, in bond, was held to-day at 271 c. Naphtha
more active for future delivery.
Tallow has declined to 12-ic for prime, with more doing
for export.
The sale of Mestiza wool yesterday brought together $
fine attendance of buyers, and the offerings, 1,500 bake,
were nearly all sold, mostly within the range of 2610
39c, but including cleansed at 60c to 83c.
Freights have become quiet. Room is being held back
for the liberal receipts of grain expected from the cant',i
next week. The Liverpool steamers have taken cotton a'
id., and grain for next week 7id. Charters to Cork for
orders with grain at 6s to Gs 6d, Petroleum to port on the
Continent at ss.
