PRICES OF FLOUR AND GRAIN.

At our last dates from the Atlantic cities,
the price of -four had not found settling
place, although the decline in price was
submitted to very unwillingly. The New
York correspondent of the Phiadel phia
American writes on the evening of the
2lsE
The Flour spectators are in the dumps 10 day,
and further decline Of l2A 10 25 cents has taken
place. At the close, Genesee was offered for
export at IS 37l showing a decline OF SO
cents per Dbl. since the steamer arrived. The
demand TO day for the trade is very limited, sec.
ond hands only taking lots for immediate use.
Southern descriptions are in market again at
s5 37I a S. 50. Corn Meal is 90 S7b So
for Jersey. Rye Flour SO so. Raisins, of the
cargo Of the Douglas, ale selling today at 80 60,
81 35, and roc. for whole, half and quarters
Grapes are selling 300 half kegs at So rs.
A cargo Of Maryland Wheat, fine sample
sold at about 1886. for milling. Corn still tends
upwards. Sales 5000 bushels Northern and
Jersey at Csc. Rye Is 76c. Canal Oats AZ
43c. The Cotton market is very dull, and
the decline since the arrival Of the steamer is
perhaps &c. per ID.
The New York Express, of Tuesday
evening, says;
There has evidently been current Of spec
ulation in flour, that has run very considerably
beyond the bounds OF reality. Many Of the
purchases on orders at $5 IS So 81, which,
it is now stated, is the extent OF prices paid for
! export, have been re.sold at $5 IS, holders
preferrng to realize profit here, rather than to
ship. Those that have operated in this way
have been fortunate, as they can now re purchase
1 at 25 cents lower. The stock Of -four in thi;
market it is admitted on all hands, is very small
for the season, and there are but few weeks o
navigable canal TO carry up the stock. 1t i!
!, therefore quite probable, if not almost certain
that our supplies, at the closing Of the canal
=. will be very small, compared with other years,
OF the Philadelphia -four market, The
y North American of the 23d ut.. says:
"Snce the receipt OF the last English advices

At Baltimore, says the Patriot of Tue'
day evening, both buyers and sellers wer
=, brought to pause:
"Milers are ndsposed to purchase wheat

Y transactions this morning. A decline Of sever
a. cents on the bushe must have been submitte
to in order 10 effect sales. The decline in tn
price OF flour in New York will OF course ha,
IS caused decline here. No sales, however, hay
De taken place. Holders of City Mills are askin
