AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-Thc market has
been quiet for some days past, and few merchants
only arriving; and there is not much demand at
this season, from auy other quarter.

tons, and receipts continue light; the low prices
which have ruled for some time past have operated
against supplies coming forward.

have been unusually heavy, comprising nearly 100000
bs the larger portion taken for export to the British

FLOUR AND MEAL.-Ihc market for Howard
street Flour is not only frmcr, but has improved
from l25 to % cts per bril- since the close of
port last Friday afternoon, and there is also more
frmness in the price of all other denominations, with
very considerable transactions during the last few
days, and the continuance of good demand. The
advance and lirmness at this particular season has
doubtless been induced from the Improvement in,
and orders from one, or two Eastern markets, well
owing the light stock and declining receipts
in this. Within the last two three days the sales
of Flour have amounted 10 probably 5000 to 10000
brls., including few parcels to be delivered in all
