The week opens with very light receipts, and gem
orally dull market Breadstuhs, though in Ii tie
better inquiry than At the close last week still ru
/ ing very quiet, the demand for Flour coming only
frem the local trade, and for Wheat from the imme-
diate necessities OF milers Prices before the New
York report were held about tine same the close
Saturday, but after the report, which showed de-
Glued advance In -four and wheat, the market here
advanced lO1l5c on -four and 5G4c on rad wheat on
track-the views OF holders Of round lots Of red be-
ing 50 irregular that were unable to get reliable

gencies Of the pending battle between Grant and Lee
which is to be less decisive in its character
AS confidently believe that Lee will be beaten and
overwhelmed at every point, if he has not already
been therefore feel safe in assuming hat the sd
vance will not be maintained for any material Pc
rioo, and that buyers who can hold oH for day or
two will profit BY SO doing.
