circular, and in few instances at Id per
bushel advance. Flour was also better
sale and rather dearer. Within this day
or two speculative buyers have again ap.
peared for oatmeal, and including the trans
actions of to-day, about 500 loads have
been taken for investment; consumers have
also purchased more freely, and we mole
prices the turn higher. Oats are held more
firmly, but are without any improvement
in the demand or actual W e.
In beans, barley, and peas, little passing
and prices almost nominal. During the
week 5000 bbls. of best States -four have
brought 20s per barrel, in bond; and there
are buyers of further quantities at this rate
at which, however, holders of choice
brands refuse to sell. Each day this week

been extremely wet, and the weather still
continues broken and unsettled.
