AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-The Commission
houses and iobbcrs actively engaged at present;
the demand from all points of the country is good

FLOUR AND MEAL.-The general decline in
the price of Flour in the producing markets to the
Eastward with tendency to give way at the close
of last week in this have established the tact that
lower rates have been accepted here by dealers with
in the last few days. and more fully after the steamer
Niagara's advces, which considered as rather
a damper were circulated on Thursday morning
Sales of Howard street were made on Saturday last
and subsequently, early this week at S5lS2, and
again parcel Of 500 brls at 1921, which was still
lower; probably in no instance has S52o been OBJ

credit. On Thursday sale was made at S5l24-
and at this price, Also sales Of several parcels
of City Mills and 500 brs. at S5-millers previous
ly contending for 1925. The weeks transactions
of all descriptions have not been heavy, the stocks

not general and the streams throughout the country
stilrreman without supply for milling operations
