mon and no demand for it at all The
long continued drouth Is at an end heavy
rains have fallen since our last issue, and

FLOUR-The market is firm with
fair stock to meet the present demand.
Choice grades are firm at an advance Of
25c on the Dbl. Low grades are neglected.
Our merchants feel very much encouraged
by the present outlook. In a few weeks
cotton will commence moving, and the
flour trade will then set in. A very large
fall business is anticipated. The low stage
of water is altogether in favor of this
market, and it is very doubtful whether
our -four merchants will be able to meet
the heavy demand unless their stocks are
largely increased DUNG the next month or
two. Sales reported to-day are 69s bbls
