Domestic Produce Market.

New YORK, August 20.-The domestic
produce markets were more active in the
leading staples, although prices were very
much unsettled and the fluctuations fire.
quent. AT the produce exchange there has
been no advance in flours from spring wheat
while winter wheat fours have simply been
firm. In wheat there has been considerable
movement for export, and some large sales
have been made TO arrive. The market has
been generally firm, although there were
few intervals of weakness. A large portion
of the export purchases were for the con-
tinent of Europe; other grains tiuctuated
but little, and the movements were not i'm
DOrtant.
