ST. LOUIS MARKET.

From the st. Louis Prices Current, Both.
ToBAcco-This staple has began to come
forward sparingly and meets with very
good demand at fine prices. but the market
is in an unsettled condition and present pri-
ces can hardly be considered a fair index TO
the regulor spring business, as but little of
the late cropis ready for market. The sales
since our last date comprise some 20 hhds
and 20 boxes-including new Tugs in hhds
from So to IS 20; old from SIS 25 to So IS;
seconds from So IS to sc 80; and common
to fair manufacturing leaf from So IS TO SO
y 100 Tbs. In boxes, the sales ranged from
"a So to 81 65 % 100 Tbs, including all
qualities.
In city manufactured, there is a steady
moderate demand at previous prices, but in
other descriptions we hear of little doing in
the market.
HEMr--There has been steady fair de-
mand during the week for the supply of
western manufacturers, and the moderate
receipts, comprising some l 400 bales were
all taken from the landing at the following
quotations: Say for common $50 to $e3,
fair and 1856 to 1888, and prime at $93@$95
q ton--the market closing quiet and steady
at those figures. Two lots prime dressed
were SOLIDS bales at $l45 u ton, and 63
bales on private terms. The stock in store,
old, comprise some 1900 or 1900 bales, the
most of which is held entirely out ofthe mar
qualities, and are held above the views of
buyers.
BALE Rorr-Of country, there has been
no sale, and the receipts were either forwar-
ded or taken into into store. Of city, a lot
of 1000 coils No. /, machine twist was sold
on Tuesday a, 7c U fb.
FnoUR-The very small stock and receipts
of -four, together with the inadequate re-
ceipts and steadily advancing price of wheat
since our last date, has kept the -four mar
ket in an unsettled state, and caused it 10
advance largely. The aggregate business
of the week sum up about 5000 pbls. At
close yesterday. holders were asking fur
ther advance. Country superGne was held
at So 50@8 rs; city at 50; country extra
at SO 25@9 so; and choice brands at So
75@l0; city extra at $40 50@$ll-the
first figures being refused for 1000 bbls-
and fancy brands 81 so u Dbl.
Wharf.-The very light receipts since
our last date, which are at least one-hal
short of being even moderate supply fol
our city mills, has caused a steady advance
in the price, and yesterday the unpreceden
ted rate of So 25 y bushel was paid for I
lot of prime red, and choice would have
sold at even higher figures. Without, how
ever, tracing the market through the week
we will only remark that as the better quail
tiles are in less supply and better demand
by the city millers for the manufacture o
extra flour, than the medium and lowe
grades, the price has consequently yer!
wide range, and yesterday, with only abou
5000 bushels on the market, the pric
ranged as follows-say for spring 81 70 Il
81 so; common and fair fall 81 SO TO 81 80
good to prime from So 10 to 81 20, ant
choice from So 80 to - bushCl. Gu
mills are without stocks, and the most O
them are depending upon their daily re
ceipts for supplies to keep their mills run
ming. asd at close several Of them were idle
