footed 10 2S45 bales, which were taken by twelve
brokers, at prices that exhibit still further ad-
vance all round as will be seen on reference to
the subioined closing quotations, which rule as
follows, viz: Ordinary 28@30c., good ordinary 81
033c.; low middling 35@37c., and middling 800
Ale. AS will have been seen, the latter figures
show an advance of about one cent y ID. all round
as compared with yesterdays figures. The prin-
cipa Improvement, however, is still confined to
the better classifcations.

SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-There have been no
receipts from the Coast since yesterday. Owing
to the advance in gold the market exhibited more
animation this morning than for some time pre-
vieus but we are not able to report the full trans
action for the day. The stock on hand is large,
but offerings do not meet the views of holders.
We notice sales of l6 and rs hhds. strictly prime
Louisiana Sugar at l53c; $50 bbs. fair Porto Rico
at 1261l3c. U tb, and 100 boxes Cuba Sugar at
prices ruling from l240l3fc. for Nos. l20l3.
There has been no movement in Molasses what
ever but we have heard of it being offered at SOC.
" gallon for Porto Rico.
FLoUR-Ihe supply on hand is ample, but the
market is dull owing to the falling off of the de-
mand, both for shipment and the local trade,
which is part due, to anticipated receipts Of the
new wheat crop from northern Alabama and Texas.
The sales to-day were confined to $50 bills, of
which 80 choice extra at $I4 so j2 bbl.; 30 do. at
$l3 50; $50 do on private terms; so do at $l1; $50
Cherry street at $40 50, and $50 superne at 80 so
