Canadian Flour constitute the bulk of the arrv ais
here since Monday. With return OF fine weather,
except few occasional showers since Tuesday, the
trade here was rather inactive during the past two
days. the leading articles have, however not altered
in value, exclusive of Indian Corn, which might have
been had on easier terms. Influenced by favorable
weather, the partial commencement Of harvest in this
district, and the nsipd account Of the proceedings in
trade here in nearly all its bearings, was very mani
mate during market hours to-day. The millers and
dealers cvincing no inclination to buy any thing be-
yond their immediate wants, the demand for all de-
scriptons OF English, Irish, and Foreign Whcats was
unlmpOrtant, and prices scarcely equal the
range Of Tuesday OF Indian Corn the sales effected
to-day were more limited than usual, and decline
