FLOUR AND MEAL.--The steamers news had
very little influence on our Flour market, the stock
being small to admit OF it. At first check was
rather given to the upward tendency of Howard
street, as Sc had been paid for fayorite mark and
y S5.S7s the current rate for standard brands

sequence of which there is not only an increased
irmncss but prices have advanced som, Bal cts per
bushc for good prime red, 300 s 35 having been
paid during the week. which prices current at
close. The few bushels Rye coming forward
of sufficient Importance to notice. Corn has been
in rather limited supply, and prices have in conse
gucnce kept pretty steady, but have nevertheless
gwen way Il cent or two and at close white cannot
be quoted over 45ai6, and yellow 47a4S, and market
heavy at those rates. Oats, in limited demand are

coming forward

PROVlSIONS.-Thcrc arc considerable move
mcnts making among the various descriptions and IN
various directions, but how TO arrive at a uniform
price, what constitutes 'markct price, we find
it impossible to understand: in figures below, we
give the extremes as stated TO us, but whether we
have given the least for descriptions is quite
doubtful. The receipts already at hand via New
Orleans arc large and there other vessels the
passagc-and the water is TO be let into the canal TO
Pittsburgh next Wednesday. The receipts via New
Orleans, since our last report, have been as follow:

1886 kegs; of Beef, so brls Among the foreign
ports this week there have been made to London:

lbs; and of Lard, IS, 100 do,
Beef.-Thc demand is quite moderate, sales only
making in lots of l0a20 brls for Stores or the west
India markets, at quotations.
Pork.-Athough there has been nothing beyond
few limited transactions there is more iirmness this
week on the part of Sellers and purchases can be
made at less than q 1850 for Mess, and $500 Tor
Prime and some holders contend for something more.
