FLOUR AND MEAL.-Thc Flour market has
not been characterised during the week for much ami

wet and unfavorabc for operations; and more re-
Gently the circulation of the Brannia's accounts had
their influence for the time In regard to the latter,
however, they first rather stiifcned prices, but
subsequently permitted them to settle down again to
their previous level of S6.315, at which at close
there arc free Sellers both of Howard street and City
Mills although some holders ask $3.50. Rye Flour
is still scarce Corn Meal sold early in the week at
