restricted by the limited amount ofrcring-the re-
ceipts being very light, owing to the break in the
Erie Canal. Flour was quiet and steady. Wheat
was in fair demand and the market was nrmer,
though very little was done owing to the
material discrepancy between the views Of buyers
and sellers. Corn was active and higher. Oats
