The weather has been cool and pleasant
iuriug the week, the temperature ranging
from 40 to 65 during the day. Friday
night there was a white frost in the city,
being the first of the season.
The market for Flour has been dull and
lifeless all the week, though there was
rather exciting news from New York Sat-
urday, where prices advanced l0015c per
bril-, with large export demand, but it had
no influence of consequence on this market,
which is to be attributed to the fact that
-four is relatively higher in this market
than in New York by fully 4Oc, rendering
shipments to that or any of the Eastern
markets out of the question. The sales
during the week did not exceed 1000 bbls.,
and the receipts being largely in excess
the will ba hot ba
stock is rapidly accommodating. Superfne
may be quoted at $5(Gs5 10 extra S. $50
5 30; extra family and fancy So 4o(G5 so f;
and Fagan's Epieurean Sc %. A strong
faith exists that prices will rule higher, and
hence the great unwillingness to submit to
any decline.
Wheat has not changed in any particular
hut has ruled dali ct 81 O8@l 10 for prime

impor's of both this article and flour show
a large increase of stock. We received dur
ing the past six weeks 70, $50 brls -four and
BOB, 9O3 bush wheat. Now by reducing
wheat to -four, we find that the total receipt:
since the lst of last month are equal to
1875, 900 barrels flour. The exports in thai
time were 81 1913 bbls of -four, and IS, 4oS
bush wheat, equal in all to $1,000 bbls -four
Now add to this, the City consumption,
which has been about 20, 900 bhls -four, and
the whole amount will be 81, 900 bbls
which would show an accumulation of houl
and wheat here since Sept. LIST Of equal L
$4,000 bbls -four, to which may be added 9
stock OF -four here Aug. 3lSt, of about 49,
