The exports were exclusively for New York.
SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-The market continues
very quiet without any Improvement in the de.
mand. Sales of Sugar continue to be of very
restricted character, while there is ne movement
whatever in molasses. There seems to be an in
creasing inquiry pervsdiDg the Sugar market,
which may develop considerable animation In this
leading staple Of our State during the coming
week. Cuba Sugar, fair to prime. is retailing at
l2@l33c., Cuba white Sugar l45@l64c., Louis
lana Sugar, prime to choice, very scarce, at $50
l53c. 81 b., Louisiana reboiled Molasses at $780,,
and Cuba Molasses 45@50c. % gallon.
FLoUR-The market has been very quiet to-
day, with very restricted supply of Flour in
the market. The demand appears to be confined
to those grades, which are most scarce, and for
which holders entertain higher views than are
readily met by purchasers. Some 600 barrels
changed hands to-day. $50 and $50 treble extra
and 100 single extra upon private terms, and $50
treble extra at $40. In the absence of sufficient
sales indicating the rates OF the market, we con-
tinue to report superfne at IS, double extra 50,
trt Bile extra So 25gl0, and choice Flour sll@li
= Dbl.
CoRN-D During the greater portion of the day
the weather was too unpropiuOus for anything
like outdoor business still there were a few sales
effected but Corn was generally neglected, as the
little on the landing remained under cover and
buyers deferred negotiating until more favorable
weather prevails There is only moderate stock
of Corn on the market and the chocer grades
have been very much reduced, until offerings are
quite restricted and prices ruling the marketh have
an upward tendency, which Will continue until
Corn commences TO come in freely from the upper
country. The sales to-day embrace 1850 sacks, of
which loo mixed sold at 90c., so yellow at CSC,
100 white mixed at 81, 600 do. do. at 81 03, and
