There has been a considerable advance in the
rstes of Sterling Exchange during the week, and
we now quote at 1920 per cent premium We
understand Sterling Exchange is quoted at 20 per
cent premium in New Orleans and Charleston.
| There has been rather limited demand for Gold,
but the market is firm at I5(92O per cent premium.
| There has been some demand for Kentucky Money.
| from parties pure hasing live stock in Southern
| Kentucky.
There has been something of panic in the Flour
market In the early part of the week prices were
! advanced 5Oc@sI per Dbl The reason assigned
for this advance IS the heavy constructive demand
from the South and the Army, and - liability of
the mills in the Confederate States TO grind up the
Wheat 50 as to keep stock ahead of the demand.
This being the case consumers may reasonably ex.
pect to pay high prices until there an increase of
mills. We quote Superfne at SIS 25(965O and Extra
at S7,0097.5O. Sacks of SO lbs range from s35e
to 81
The Wheat market has been considerably excited

is, however. considerable margin between the
views Of holders and buyers. and we quote the

lilo, and Mediterranean 9O695c per bushel. We
understand that the outside quotations have been
pretty freely paid during the week. One of our
largest millers informed Us to-day that he had pur
chased his stock of Wheat and was now out of the
market. 1t is probable that others have also sup
piled themselves and the speculative feeling which
has been manifested viii probably abate somewhat
