REMARKS.-Thc market has been rather unset

not in the aggregate bceH very attcrng. The storm,
10 which we merely adVcrtcd in our last Review I'M
der the article Flour, was more general than was
then anticipated and its disastrous effects much great
err The communication between this city and the
West via Pittsburgh is closed until next spring; so
great is the damage the canals have received that
they cannot be repaired to be made available until
after the period for closing the navigation shall have
passed. Much Produce is thus stopped III ranSSit,
which will have to be wagoned-and as these
supplies were wanted and some actualy disposed Of
more firmncss will be impaired TO stocks on hand and
an increased demand (there6Sg be r manilGsteu

FLOUR AND MEAL.--Tha lirmncSs, noted at
the close of our remarks last week in reference to the
Flour market continued until about inc IN 'du'e Oh tS

Wednesday the price had got up to SO, Gan ad-
vance of l2id25 cts.) at which considerable sales
were made both of Howard street and CITY Mills, IN
GLIDING Ism brls. received from HarpcrS Ferry
On Thursday, further sales Of Howard street wcF"
made at $6.l25, but it was late IN the day before
buyers submitted to the demand: and yesterday,
holders assumed more frncss and although for 2JOd
300 brls carly in the day S6l25 was accepted other
sellers both of Howard street and City Mills were
enabled to obtain s6,25 for 5OldGO0 brls. The mar
ket closes with free buyers at OH and sellers or
Howard street at 1928, and for CITY Mills So.oU
1.-THE Mills which disabled by the storm, as
noticed last week. will all be in operation again
ly next week. Corn Meal is very scarce and dis
proportionatcly high compared with Corn, $50
per bril- having been paid for 35D brs and none TO be
had at less price. We believe there is only one Mill
belonging to the city that is manufacturing inspect
ed this week:
