GRAIS-Thc offerings of Grain this morning
were again quite large, but the market for both
Wheat and Corn rather heavy, and prices
were manlfesty lower than on Saturday. The
foreign advices received by the Pacific were less
favorable for breadstutls than those previously re-
ceived, and this, together with the fact that near
ly all the mcrS have on hand large stocks of
Wheat, which in the present condition of the
streams, they are unable to grind, produced the
dullness in the market this morning.
Uhent-The offerings of Wheat were about
1000 bushels. For strictly prime parcels Sa-
turday's prices were pretty well maintained, but
for ordinary to good lots prices were from to
cts lower than on Saturday. We note sales Of
reds at ITO 100 cts for good to choice lots

lots 175 lS5 cts. for good to prime do; and 1SS

800 bushels of yellow. We note sales of white
Virginia Corn, slightly cut, ats 81 cts, and of

From the American Of Saturday last
ToBAcco.-The sales of Maryland Tobacco
rather less this week than last, owing to the alb
sence from the city of some of the agents, and of
the unWillingness of some planters to take the pre-
sent rates The sales made have been at full
prices, and quote as before:
Common to good ordinary Maryland, S5.25aSG;
middling, SGaS625; good to fine brown s6.50a27;
