BREADS T UFFS.

FRIDAY, April 24, 1868, p.m'
The 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
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:
sentecl, but for coastwise shipment the trade has b:en 1)114
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 modest
business for consumption. Spring, for arrival, has brought
sc. more money, but on the spot has not been quite 50
firm. Winter wheats have not varied materially, being
relatively in fair supply. The first arrivals from the canalS
are expected on Monday, and many ordt,rs are held back
to
consequence, so that is proballe the demand will be CO
mensurate with the increased supply.
Corn has been in much better supply. An overdue fleet
from the North arrived on Monday and Tuesday, and iti°
receipts from Baltimore have been liberal ; under vibl'°ll
accumulations prime new mixed declined on Wednesday
to $1 171, recovering yesterday to $1 191, and closing to-
day at $1 18. The business has been quite brisk. lbe
distilling and other home demand has been very large!
and shippers have been more active. Large quantities 15,

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.

There is but little improvement in the volume of reg
