owe have not any Of your iavors to
reply tp-we have now to request YOU
will consider our -four order as wholly
cancelled from the receipt hereoi--ior so
much grain OF all kinds is arriving from
every port Of Europe, and so much -four
from the Uniteh States, we nnw see lit
lie prospect of benefit by importalions,
particularly as it may, 50 advanced in the
season, be getting sour. 1t is un,ortu

long have perscyc ell in keeping the price
above its due proportion to whear, aud
this has thrown it out of consumption,
and put on the time, and allowed a stock
to accumulate. Wheat takes the lead OF
flour, and during the early part OF this
week, business tn some extent Was done

yours at l2i l2s 6 per 20 lbs. Flour
also was then more saIcable than il is
now, say Philadelphia, sweet. at ass
