During the week the market has been fever
ishty excited. and prices Of al! descriptions Of
Flour have rapidly improved. The trade have
bought very freely, sumo sufficient to supply
thrir wants for month 1o co,nc, and others ill
after harvest. This feeling has been brought
about in part by the limited receipts and the
war news from abroad There i, no denying
the fact that the supply Of prime white Wheat
in thc country is quite small, aud that this alone
seems to be conceded GU all hunds. For tue
past six days the demand for Flour has greatly
exceeded tic supply, greatly diminishing THE
supply here, the sales having averaged :,Mn'
bbls daily. This morning tic business was
somewhat checked by further advance Of lot,
l5c = bbl ou tue medium grades, and :5c IN
extra Ecnc>ee. This sudden movement had a
tendency to drive buyers cut Of market, and up
to the clnse sales only reached 1,cvp bhls.
Holders, however are still and anticipate quick
sales beiurc the close Of the day ut the advanced
prices.

The insnlinrnt prospect Of general war in
Europe, which has been exciting and uuscttlinG
the principal produce markets Of the country
foV some days past, papably affected our owl,
yesterday. The result is }Iariicnlarl7cd in on!
commercial column this morning. The bust
ness tlnnc in flour was enormous; dealers csti
mate that TWENTY-FIVE thousand brands changed
owners during tAt day, and at advanced 4,luta
tlons IN the afternoon provisions came within
the influence Of speculation, and six thousand
barrels Of pork and one thousand titrces Of lard
passed into buyers hand, the greater portion at
Of the former at higher prices.
