scriptions of wheat and -four, has firmly main
tanned our last quotations., with slight up
ward tendency, and a general improvement OF

we'd inquiry was met in our market at an ad-
vance ot one shilling per quarter: Flour was

| Grain market will doubtless be materially at

of duty on the LIST of March, of which the
| Government has given notice; the duty will
oscillate on wheat from 4s 10 los per quarter.
