The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-07-02

SroAR AND MOIAsSES-The market, for Dotn OF
these articles, continues exceedingly dull: IL was
expected that the advent OF another month would
disclose better inquiry and q heavier demand than
during that Just past but business to-day does
not warrant the belief that there will be anything
like q heavy demand until some OF the growing
crops are fully msured as all business and orders
from the country for supplies, and the necessities
of life itself seem predicated upon the productions
of the earth We are extremely grahhed to notice
that reports from the rural districts continue TO be
of the most cheerful nature, and, though corn may
be suffering somewhat from drought on the high
lands that plant, together with sugar and cotton,
was never more promising upon the low'lAnos ana
river bottoms, than at present. The prices, Tor
both Sugar and Molasses. continue the same, as
holders, with small stock on hand, remain firm
with their figures. We continue to report Louis
lana Sugar, fair TO prime, at l33Gl53c., Cuba do.
at l25Il35c. % H., Louisiana Mossses at $780,,
and Cuba DO. at 45@53c. q gallon.
FLoUR-The Flour market has been very quiet,
with little or no demand, sales having been con-
fined TO small lots OF the higher grades, and en-
braced some 500 bbls., to-wit: % fine at S6; 90
superine at 81; 50 do. at 81 Is; so double extra
at 49, 100 treble extra at $2 so; $50 choice family
at sil so, and 200 choice extra upon private
terms. Just about the close Of the market ths
following telegram was received by one OF the
most prominent of our wholesale produce houses:
"S. Louis, July l, lS6s-l:25 Or: M-Messrs.
=: Hold all flour one dollar per barrel higher
than present quotations. Show all receivers
tbs.n Here follow the names of fifteen OF the
principal millers in st. Louis.
AS the above dispatch was received at late
hour the transactions of to-day, though very
email, were not affected by the increased rates,
thew having been made previous to its receipt.
The quotations which we furnished yesterday do
not differ materially from those which governed
the market to day up TO P. NJ We therefore re,
peat them without adding the increased price of
81 which, we are assured by dealers, will be ex'
acted in future transactions: Fine s6G6 90 su-
perfine 81, single extra 81 %, double extra s. 80
ass low treble s. 50Gs9, good treble s9GlO SO,
and for choice sll@l2 so.
CoRN-There has been a better demand abroad
to-day for Corn, and sales are largely IN excess OF
those effected yesterday, which is probably owing
to further slight concessions on the part OF hoid
ers. Total sales foot up 5000 sacks, upon the fol
lowing terms. viz: 1000 yellow mixed at sl3c.
200 white mixed at 9Oc., $50 and 1900 white mixed
at &C., 600 white ct 923c., 400 white mixed a.
9Sc., 1000 white and ll3 yellow at $50. = bushel.

Prime Lard in tierces is selling at lS4Gl9c.;
kegs 2O@2o4c. 4 n. ,,.-
FRKIGHTs-As the season advances the shippln
movement discloses q very heavy and steady fsl
ing OF. The tonnage in port on foreign and d
nestle account is reduced to the summer standar
while the demands for freight room indicate co
responding or perhaps greater abatement The
is no steamship TOR Liverpool in dock at this TN
and therefore it would be useless to attempt
