The next fortnight the receipts win bS
Iaree. chiefly from Kentucky. Notwith.
standing the small arrivals, thus far. tho
market has been much depressed. and
prices have given way largely in anticipa-
tion Of future movements. and at tho re-
duced rates nobody is disposed to operate
except from hand TO mouth. The trade
is in a state of susnense. For some weeks
past. the prices of flour and wheat have
been sustained hero. indenendent of sea-
hoard markets. for since the frost excite
ment, early in June. there has been no
SHINING margin. But this cannot con-

This, exclusive of charges for commits
sions, &C., is considerably below present
quotations. and we suppose no one would
be willing to risk shipment at present
except upon a s5 basis. And the pros
meets for higher prices in New York are
not favorable. because there is no foreign
demand. nor is there likely to be anv
soon. Liverpool quotations at last dates
were not higher than those now current
in New York, and to ship -four from Gin
cinnati to Liverpool it would not do to
pay over Sc for the article here. There
is therefore no prospect of European
market for our surplus if the crops in
that country turn out as well as they
promised on the 2Sth of June. We must
rely mainly upon home consumption, un-
less prices recede sufficiently low to at
tract foreign demand. This is not pro-
bable, for stocks of last years crops being
pretty nearly exhausted, it would require
heavier supplies of the new crop than
farmers are likely to part with immedia-
tely to depress prices to a European ship
ping point. 1t is therefore probable that
