There is really nothing new In our markets to-day
not single new feature from yesterday Business is
exceedingly active, and trade generally prosperous
FLoUk mo Bales and no new feature. Large ship
ments made by holders, and others have smart
lots in store awaiting results. Shippers show no dis.

Except the very best white wheat there are better
prices paid in Richmond for wheat than are paid in
New York. and the difference in that will not nav
charges of shipment and sale there Indifferent ami
