GRAIN-The decline noted in the prices o
Wheat last week, although far from being recovered
has manifested irmness, but the reduced
price of Flour is still calculated to keep down that of
Wheat. The transactions have been to fair ex-
tent, and prices for good to prime red have ranged
from 9S6 ii 90; SAC 50 for subordinate qualities;
1056s 0S for white; and .l0d SLIP for Family
Flour do. Corn is in great variety of quality, but
the only shipping lots that are saleable are new

importance this year. There have several sales been
effected within the last two weeks, which, in the
aggregate comprised some 1000 hhds. of medium to
the better grades of Maryland, at an improvement
OF fully Is cts W 100 lbs; but the stock sale
is too limited to admit Of large operations, although
there will doubtless remain good enquiry, aud the
year will close with lighter stock in factors hands
than it has been province to state for many pre-
ceding corresponding years, and prices will remain
equally firm, The weeks inspections comprise 269
