FLOUR.-'The packet ship Susquehanna,
which sailed from Philadelphia for Liverpool
a few days ago, took out 100 bbls. of Flour
The ship Montezuma, which cleared from that
port for Liverpool on Thursday, has on board
1850 barrels of Flour. The ship u. States
is also loading with flour for Liverpool, and
has 5000 bbls. engaged. The commercial
List adds that most if not all these purchases
Of Flour were made for remittances in conse-
quence of the present high rates of Exchange
Large orders are said to be in the market for
Flour, but the present prices are above the
views of the purchasers.
Respecting the Flour market of New York,
the Herald of Friday says
Flour has gone back to the prices current
here before the arrival of the steamer Liver
pool. Sales were made to day at :S5,s7 a
barrel cash, for Western brands. The stock
here is rather light, and also in Boston and
other places east Of this, and the dealers here
force OIL the flour almost as fast as it arrives,
which alone IS sufficient to depress prices.
Upwards of 1000 barrels have been purchas-
ed In this market on English account. There
are orders untitled for $4,000 barrels more.
but they are to buy on time at So or less, and
consequently there are no sales. If the agents
would pay cash, they would soon complete
their orders.
