The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 10th inst, says: "There is a somewhat
distrustful and unquiet feeling in Wall
street, arising partly from political causes,
partly from the anticipation of European
complications, and partly from the opinion
which is widely prevalent that money will
work closer next month"
The New York Journal Of Commerce of
the afternoon of the 10th inst, says "The
market presents little more animation
in commercial departments. In breadstuffs
and most classes of provisions, there is an
increased business, and prices generally are
more firmly maintained. The drygoods
trade shows a further improvement; the
sales are still limited to moderate quanti-
ties to keep up assortments, but embrace
nearly ali descriptions of home and foreign
productions, and in the aggregate amount
are large. Money continues in excessive
supply at and 5 per cent. for call loans
on stock collaterals, and at 3 per cent. upon
government securities; with exceptional
transactions in large sums at even lower
rate"
The Cincinnati Enquirer says of flour,
wheat and corn in its market report Of the
evening of the 11th inst

to-day, the dispatches to the Chamber of
CommeIce reporting prices l5@25c higher,

creased frmness on the part of holders, and
there was also some improvement in the
demand. Holders, however, were unable to
establish any advance, though the tendency
at the close was upward, and higher figures
were generally asked. There was some in
quiry to-day of a speculative character,
though this class of buyers we're not willing
to pay the prices asked. Shippers are still
out of the market, az notwithstanding the
recent advance in New York, prices there
are still relatively lower than in our mar
ket Buyers are directing their attention
mainly to the best grades. No sales of
superfine were made public 1t can be
bought at $8@8 so, though we 90 not think
round lots could be obtained at these figures.
Neither could sales of any magnitude, with
out making concessions. Extra is selling at
50 25@9 -, the latter for well-known
trade brands. Family was in good demand
at $l0GI0 Is, and liberal sales could have
been made at these rates, though SO 256
10 so are the prices asked, and some sales
were made at these figures Fancy brands
are quoted at SO 1901 IS.
There is a continued fair demand for the
best grades of wheat, and with compare
lively light arrivals, holders succeeded in
establishing the advance asked yesterday,
though at the improved rates there was only
a moderate inquiry. The local millers are
still the principal buyers, though there was
some inquiry on orders from other points
No. l red sold at 81 1902 20 to the extent
of 1000 bushels and it il now difficult to
buy below the outside rate. No. sold at
g 1902 Is. There is none in the market
that will grade extra. There is but limited
business doing in Hill wheat, and there is
not enough coming forward to warrant
quotations. The transactions in white wheat
were comparatively small. The best grades
are scarce, and other descriptions are dull
and slow of sale. No. l is held at s. 80
and extra at 81 40, and we do not think
purchases could be made at less, though
this is more than buyers generally are will
ing to pay. No. 2 is held at s. POOP %.
There is less demand for corn, though
there is only a moderate amount coming
forward, and holders are not willing to con-
cede any in prices. The distillers are not
buying 80 freely, and the purchasers for
local consumption were light. No. mixed
shelled is still held firmly at 81 o., in bulk
or elevator, and the sales to-day were at
this rate. White is held 2@3c. higher, but
cannot be sold above the price of mixed.
No export demand and prices, including
sacks, are entirely nominal. There is rather
a better supply of ear corn, and it cannot
now be sold at over 81 02@1 O3, in bulk
at the lower depots, and some lots were
obtained at these tiUurpq
