REMARKS.-Receipts of Flour have been very
light during the week, and the market very dull,
but prices are not quotably lower. With the
exception of small lots for shipment to New
York, the demand has been confined to the
home trade. We quote: Supers 7aS7 25; Ex-
tras Sass 25; Family 9aSl0, and choice brands
$40 so. Wheat opened brisk at the first Of the
week, and prime lots brought good prices; but
owing to the decline in Northern markets, prices
have fallen off 5al0c on al grades. The Difficult
ty experienced by want of hauling facilities has
operated unfavorably on the market here and
elsewhere and prices, in consequence, have
ruled low. Offerings of Ito bushels white and
! il2 Of red, with sales Of the former at lIS, $50
and lS3 for very good to PRIME and of the latter
at $50 and 100 for common TO fair, l63, l65, ITO
