PHILADELPHIA MARKET-NARcu4.
Flour md Ne1.-The sales of Superfse
Flour ON Saturday and Monday amounted to
5000 barrels at sc 25, 1000 of which were for
immediate delivery; on Tuesday morning the
Liverpool packet Of the oath Jan. was repor1ed
below at New York, and an express arrived IN
the city, holders generally declined selling, and
but two sales were made on that day, one small
lot at 6 ST. and 500 barrels at 37a, for future
delivery; these advices quoted superior Flour at
S4s Cd a 55s On Wednesday 1900 barrels
sold at 6, so for future delivery; and 500 at
6 62a for immediate delivery; on Thursday
there was an increased demand, and about
1850 barrels sold; 500 of which were at 6 so
for future, and about 5000 at Is, for immedi-
ate delivery, the remainder at f Is for future
delivery.
To-day we had advices from Liverpool to the
Slst January, stating an active speculative de-
mand for Flour at 35s. 10 sales were reported,
and the market closed at sc IS for future delive-
~, some asking more, and 81 for immediate de-
livery; holders are firm at these prices. The to-
tai sales of the week arc about II, 900 barrels.
Grain.-No arrivals reported; lot of good
Southern Wheat sold from store at Sl,S74, and
lot ofinferior at 80; sales of Rye from store
at Is cents, and of Southern Corn, to be deliver
ed at 60 a Is CENTS Price Current.
LONDON CORN EXCHANGE-Jan. 81.
Of most kinds of Grain the arrivals of last
week were rather better than of late; of Flour
the quantity was fair. This morning the show
OF samples fresh up was moderate of most kinds
of Corn. The best parcels of English Wheat
met buyers at rather higher prices than this day
se'nnight, but the general qualities sold slowly,
and did not exceed the terms of this day sem
night; towards the close of the market, however,
they had nearl y all disappeared. There was
more foreign free Wheat offered to-day, which
met few BUYERS at last quotations. In bonded
wheat very little doing, as holders ask high prices.
LIVERPOOL. January 81
Grain and FyOw.--On this day week very ami
mated demand sprung up for American Flour in
bond-orders having been received to purchase,
paying more regard to quantity than to price.
and an advance of about IS per barrel OBJ
tanned. During the week occasional sales were
effected at this advance, and offers made for large
quantities at S4s Cd, but refused: and on Satur
day 10000 barrels were purchased at SIS; for
free flour 4Os is now demanded. There appears
to be very little doubt but the averages will con-
tinue to rise, and as our supplies cannot be hea-
w until the Spring, good prices may be expect
cd to rule in this market for some time to come.
1t would be difficult to assign any particular
Tor the iate sudden advance In price. lherc Is
nothing official, as vet, in the reported prohibit
ton to export grain on the part of Poland and
Russia. 1t is now thought, however, that Odes-
sa will not be able to furnish as abundant sup
ply az has been expected. In the mean time
large forces are on foot and colec ting the Con-
tnent, for which, supplies will be required: and
in many quarters apprehensions continue to be
entertained Of general war in Europe. But,
perhaps, the principal and leading cause of in
creased confidence in an expected rise i'll the
price Of Bread Stuffs, Is the opinion, continually
gaining ground, that the last crop in this coun-
try will continue to prove, both in quality and
quantity, more deficient than has hitherto been
supposed The present duty on Flour is los I'd
per barrel, on Wheat | 6s Sd, and on Indian Corn
SIS Id per quarter.
