There is good deal Of anxiety among the opera

hourly expected at Boston, The previous accounts
have putup prices about half dollar barrel and
about fifteen thousand sweet, and fifteen thousand
sour--in all, thirty thousand barrels--have been
taken for the English market. This is a large
quantity, and has relieved the market of surplus
that kept the market down. The stock of Western
-four is reduced in this market to very low point
mot exceeding twenty-five thousand barrels.
As the rivers are low, and many of the mills can
not grind, our supplies and receipts of flour must,
under any circumstances, be moderate for some time
to come. If the news from England should continue
to furnish advices of the prospect of injury the
crops, we see no reason why the price Of flour
should not advance. The shipments Of -four that

been SO often bit by accounts Of short crops and
failures, that they are extremely sensitive.
