factors sill manifest disposition to withhold their
diminished supplies, however, bat in order TO ef

heavy concessions. II is hardly necessary to add,
however, that any class of quotations approach

SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-We have little or no
variation TO notice in the movement Of the art
Giles under this heading. There has been bat little
business done to-day, and that entirely of q retail
character. There is q general apathy throughout
The market, which will no doubt continue until
the advent Of another month, when We may look
for considerable animation on all sides. Reports
Of the new Sugar crop continue 10 be OF the most
cheering character; and while cotton may be
suffering in many portions Of the country from
heavy and continuous rains, the young cane is ma
lerially benefited by these copious daily showers,
and gives fair promise Of an early maturity and a
heavy yield. The stock of Sugar on hand is very
moderate for even this season Of the year, while
here has been very little demand outside OF the
. city retail trade during the last two months and
the stock in the market being confined to few
dealers, they have not at any time been inclined
{, reduce their rates. which have exhibited but
little variation for some time past The Sugar
market closes very quiet but firm, and we con.

FLoUR-There has been but light demand for
Flour to-day and the inquiry was confined to those
GRADES of which the market has become almost
wholly exhausted. The offerings Of superfne,
double extra and choice old wheat Flour continue
TO be of very restricted character, while the
general stock seems TO be very much broken and
composed Of only such grades as are 10 little re.
quest at this time. The So es were only 800 bills,
Of which 100 superfne in jobbing lots sold at - !;
80 double extra at S. IS; 90 double extra in job
hing lots at 80, and 100 bbls choice Flour at
$40 so. In the absence Of sufficient sales, indie

CoRN-Transac,ious in this branch Of the grain
market continue to be Of a very moderate charac-
ter but do not disclose any perceptiole change IN

500 white mixed at 81 %, and 100 sacks white
