FLoUR.-Last week the wagon price Of new
wheat Flour ranged from S 12a to II, closing
at the latter on Saturday. Fresh ground, manu-
factur ed from old wheat, was steady at from 90
to %. Early in the week 900 bbls. new wheat
Flour were sold from store at 16 2-S; and be-
tween 400 and 500 bbls Potomac Flour, old wheat,
at 4 874; also mixed lot Of Potomac Flour, part
new wheat, at 90. Subsequently the transac.
tons from stores were unlmportant, so far as we
were advised: if any sales Of magnitude were ef-
fected, they were not made public; some small
lots Of fresh ground King street Flour. manufac-
tured from old wheat, were purchased for ship
ping at S l2s. and several parcels of second quar-
ter Flcur in store, priced at 4 rs. New wheat
Flour was held at ) 20 to S Is, but we heard of
no improvement being realized.
Yesterday the wagon price Of new wheat
Flour was IS II; few loads brought fraction
more; we quote the extremes Is to 90. A
load Of Shenandoah, part new & part old, brought
Is. The receipts OF fresh ground from old
wheat are so limited that it is difficult to quote
prices with any degree of correctness-a load
yesterday was taken at 08. We quote 90 to
os, as 90 is generally considered the market
price, and the article will not command any ma
teriat ADVANCE on that price from stores; it is Of
fered freely at 5 19a; the best offers IS 90
a S O6. There is at present but little doing in
new wheat Flour from stores, but we believe it
cannot now be had for less than 25-we have
been advised of sale on Saturday at 5 90.

FWVHE PUBLIC are hereby informed that -H the General Agency for the disposal of the ThomhSonian Medicines, and Family Rights, l'c. has been transferred from Horton Howard, to Jarvis Pike, Hiram Platt, Rufus Ferriss and Thomas Johnson, by Dr Samuel Thompson. Therefore, all those who have formerly f.eld agencies under the said Horton Howard, as well as others wishing to become agents, will apply to the undersigned, at Co., lumbus, who will be ready to attend to all calls, and upon sufficient testimonials being produced, will grant new agencies, S1c.
 PIKE, PLATT & Co.
 The public are also cautioned against pur- chasing medicines from those who are not au- Morized Agents, as many are selling articles under the name of Thompson's Medicines, which have nothing but the name to recom- mend them, and many articles sold by them, are even poisonous, and act in direct opposi- tion to the principles of the Thompsonian sys- tem.-Therefore, those that wish for genuine medicines, will do well to examine into the authority of those from whom they purchase; as all authorized, will be furnished with a printed article signed either by Samuel Thompson or PIKE, PLATT, & Go.
