FLoUR-There has been q somewhat better de-
mand to day, and sales disclose much more ANNA
ton than pervaded the -four market yesterday, as
the very reduced stock hand at the opening
week has been slightly augmented by late arrivals
but the supply on hand continues to be of very
restricted character while offerings of the lower
grades, and Of choice old wheat -four are very
light and buyers defer purchasing until the mar.
ket is better supplied. The sales embrace some
1900 bbls., viz 100 super6ne at 81 IS 100 super.

CORN-Transactons do not disclose any per-
cepuble change in the market under this heading.
The sales to-day were 2050 sacks. viz $50 mixed
snd 500 yellow mixed at 90c.; 400 yellow at 81
300 mixed at 81 02a, and 800 white mixed at

OATs-The market continues very quiet. There
is very little grain Of any kind upon the landing
very light. We note sale of l75 sacks at 75c.,
indicating no change In rates.
BRAN-The stock is very light and principally in
warehouse. Sales to-day were $50 sacks, Of which
200 in poor order sold at 81 40 and $50 sacks at
81 so. The rates for good fresh Bran have been
unchanged for some time past and 81 so b 100
DIS. has been the ruling figure.
HAY-There is very little choice Western Hay In
the market. The demand at this season of the
year is always light, consequently shipments are
neither large nor frequent. There is q steady
jobbing and retail demand, but the business is en-
tirely local, there being no shipping demand ow.
ing TO the scarcity of freights. We quote prime
Western Hay in jobbing lots at s22, and s22 so at
retail.
PoRK-The market has been very quiet through
out. The only transactions that came under our
observation were OF a retail character and not of
sufficient consequence TO give in detail. Mess
Pork is nomiuslly jobbing at $40 rs and retailing
at $4,000 %.
BACON-Continues quiet with very little demand
in excess of a retail business. 80 casks of clear
sides we're sold to-day at lie. shoulders re.
failing at 1910, clear ribbed sides 1910 and clear
sides at l74c. Choice sugar cured hams are re-
failing at 2lc. and inferior hams l9c. y D.
LARD-There ia q little activity in Lard in job
bing and retail way; the demand, however, is
principally among city dealers. We notice
sale of Is tierces prime leaf Lard at l8tc. In
kegs choice Lard is jobbing at zoe. y d.
FREIGHTs-The freight movement still dis
closes very heavy and steady falling off, The
tonnage in port on foreign and domestic &C.
count is reduced TO the summer standard, while
the demands for freight room indicate CORES
poDding or perhaps greater abatement. We now
quote nominally cotton to Liverpool by steam,
9.l6@id.; by sail, cotton. 7l6d.; tobacco $751;;
-four As; London ID. for cotton, BIS. Sd. for to-
bscco. To New York by steam and sail &c. for

The IMPORTS OF WHEAT TO GREAT BRITAIN
| There is probably no trade carried on in the
| United Kingdom that has such momentous bear

/ the importation OF cereals, and the statistics of
the supplies furnished by the different nations
/ among the most important Of the annals of the
| worlds commerce. To show the magnitude of
| this trade, we subjon the following table of the
imports of wheat into the United Kingdom for the
