CoTToY-There is but little, If any, variation to
notice in the market to-day. Adyices from
Liverpool and New York still unchanged, and
with limited supply and demand here, opera
tons have been confined to 1884 bales. divided
among five buyers-one Of whom took $50 bales.
Prices still tend upward, but as there is no mid

SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-0perations In these
two leading articles continue TO be Of a restricted
character. We have no Improvement TO note in
actual transactions, but the inquiry becomes daily
more general, and we may look for brisk de-
mand during the present month. 100 boxes of
Cuba centrifugal Sugar at l4lc., and IL hhds.
prime muscovsdo do. at 1870, were disposed OF
and not included in our report Of yesterday. We

Q53c " gallon. according to quality.
FLoUR-The market has undergone very little
change since our report of yesterday. The only
noticeable feature is an increased demand, which
has been generally met with rates that disclose
DO dimnution in price, and as the stock on hand
is but moderate, holders are quite firm. Sales to-
day embrace some $500 bbls., viz: 200 superhne
in lots at 81 rs l40, 200 and 200 double extra at

80 Is; 100 and 300 treble extra at 50; 60 choice

and 800 bbs. of treble extra Flour upon terms
which have been withheld.
CoRN-The market for Corn, as well as all
other grain, is much frmer to-day, owing to the
gradual reduction during the past week Of stock
on hand and scant arrivals the present week.

700 yellow mixed at 90c., and 2lOC sacks white

mand; 200 sacks sold at 81 10, and $50 In store

small stock and limited demand. Rates continue
firm. We hear Of sales OF 100, so and so bales Of

PoRK-The market does not disclose any reac-
ton in this article. though holders are treasured
by adyices received to day from the West Of an
upward tendency of figures. 0ne lot of 40 bills

closes very heavy and steady falling of. The
tonnage in port on foreign and domestic ac-
count is reduced 10 the summer standard, while
the demands for freight room indicate a cores
