The intelligence published yesterday morning
has had very favorable effect on the -four mar
ket here. These advices furnish US with con-
tnued improvement, and a rise in -four Of near
ly two shillings per barrel in the Liverpool and
London market Although these last rates do
not warrant shipments from here at the present
prices yet they will give liberal profit to the ex-
tensive shipments made in December aud Janua-
ry, which were laid in at considerably lower rates
thar the present range of prices. Bread Stufts
having advanced in all parts of Great Britain,
render it highly probably, if not nearly certain,
that the averages of grain will range sufficiently
high to admit Flour free of duty in April or May.
The Flour market here, yesterday, was not only
much more firm, but an improvement of nearly
twenty FIVE cents barrel vas realised. Troy
Flour sold at sc rs, and for delivery at the open
ing of the river, at 6 90; New York is held at
GO; Western is held at 81. There are heavy
buyers OF Flour on contract, to be delivered III
