FLoUR-CoDtinued dullness was the leading
feature of this market to day. Offerings of all
grades Of Flour have been Of a more liberia! char
acter during the last three or four days than for
some time previously, and holders generally have
shown a willingness to make concessions, but
buyers evince little disposition to operate even at
decline from asking rates OF yesterday. Sales
embrace only 500 bbls., viz 100 treble extra at
50 Is and 400 choice treble upon terms which have
been withheld. We quote, nomnally, superfne
