BreadstulTs and Provisions--The demand
for -four continues to be confined mainly to
supplying the retail trade of the city, prices
being relatively higher here than at points
from which there is usually demand We
quote extra flour at 50@S6 and super
line at S4@4 go, the outside figures being re-
tail prices. The transactions IN wheat con-
tinue mainly on miilers' account. Buyers
/ have manifested 10 disposition so Ear this sea-
son to make extensive purchases which is at
tiJEtable TO the fact that orders have not
come in freely. The depressed condition OF
! the breadstuif markets of the country
| continue to operate unfavoratly upon the
! producing districts and while we have no de-
cline to note, we cannot enoo urage holders
with the prospect of good demand at pres
eut prices. The future, however, may change
matters very materially. We quote pr; ne red
and white at S0@65c per bushel. Corn is in
request at $4,000, thoHgh it IS not so much
in demand as before the late lains. Oats GO
@70c.
To show the downward tendency of flour,
we quote the prices current in New York on
the 4th and 18th inst, which compare as fol-
lows;

Superfne State 81 6O@5 O5 81 25@4 55
Round hoop Ohio, 5 5OW5 70 81 70@5 20
These figures show a decline in State Of
50@55c, and Ohio Of 50@75c Per Dbl -
These changes will, of course, affect other
markets.

ST. Louis, MO-
The ST. Louis Republican of the 9th says:
Wheat monopolized most of the interest of
the general market to-day. The downward
course of this article continues unchecked, and
in fact there occurred decline to-day more
extensive than was experienced during the
daily falls Of the last half of the week just
past. Poor spring sold as low as 5Sc, aud
strictly prime red and white no higher than
S1@1 O5 per bushel. Supplies of course
were liberal 10 have induced so decided q
change, and deliveries amounted to z 500 to
5000 sacks. Corn was so very dull. and so
large a proportion of transactions reported on
private terms, that it was easy to infer that
prices were lower. Whiskey seemed heavy
at 25c per gallon. Oats and -four stood as
they did at the date of our last, and rye was
dull, though not quotably lower
