CoTToS-The market is still very unsettled.
Liverpool advces disclose a steady downward
Tendency, while operations at New York continue
partially suspended. The demand here to-day
could not be regarded at any time as better than
nominal, and the total movement has been
utricted TO 100 bales of which one party took 81
bales. Prices show still further decllne but in
lew of the fact that most factsrs refuse to un-
oyer their samples at offering rates, the sub
med which have been the ruling figures to day,
pnOt be referred to otherwise than as approx
ring quotations, viz: Good ordinary 27A02Sc.,
v middling 2sa@29c., and middling -G3Oc.

, FLOUR-O wing TO the continued scarcity of su-
lperfne and double extra Flour, offerings have
been very much neglected throughout. There
has been very good demand from city bakers for
old wheat Flour, bat the stock on hand is princi:
bpally of new wheat which does not work up well
at this of the year, hence is in very little
request. In consequence of the very reduced
stock holders continue firm with their prices.
Transactions have been confined to very narrow
limits and exhibit very little outside of a retail
business. We note sales Of rs bbls. treble extra
et $ll; and 100 do. do. at $40 so. We quote su-
peTfne, very scarce, at IS double extra 80;
aeble extra 50 25GslO so, and choice Flour SIG

fCoRN-There has been no improvement notice
DE in the grain market since our report OF yes
rday The levee continues very bare, and
Brings have been, consequently, OF very re-
icted character. The movements in corn,
t.hout disclosing anything but very light trans
ions, do not indicate any changes from rates
Yesterday, but the market, with very light
Ok of choice corn on hand closes firm and

house at 81 40 ~ 100 lbs.
HAY-Tbe demand continues to be Of job
hing and retail character. and confined almost
Exclusively to local wants. Prime Western is
iobbing at $22 and retailing at S22 50023 t. ton.
PoRK-Transactons in this article have been
very few and Of a limited character. Holders

appear in any way anxious TO part with their

quiet but firm, At the following figures: for lOO
bbls or more, 500 rs; and S30630 35 at retail.
BACoN-Business in this line continues TO be
confined to a retail trade. There is q better
INQUIRY peryading the market than for some time
past, and which may result in more animated
movements throughout. We continue to quote

ierces do at lsAc. and 30 kegs do. at 204c. b ID.
! Also, sale OF 200 tierces prime leaf Lard upon
4 erms which have been withheld. Ia connection
nth this prime article of domestic utility we
Fould say that with the numerous improvements
Introduced of late years by Western packers, i'd
4 heir manner of preparing and putting up Lard for
his and other tropical climates there seems 10 be
till a decided preference for the old style OF leaf
ard which for general household purposes il
ound to be of more durability and substance, and
ence more economical than the new prepare.
Iops from which latter are expressed the greater
ortion of the olesginous or fatty substance, in
rider that the Lard may be more compact and
urable and less liable 10 detioriadon from rapid
nd excessive changes in the temperature OF 10"
