Flour and Gyain.-The receipts begin to
show considerable falling Oft compared with
previous weeks, but 1t will be some time yet
before confidence is fully restored Receiv-
ers still find it difficult to place any conside-
rable lot of flour at II satisfactory price. The
sales of fancy Minnesota brands have been
at 81. so to $50 per Dbl, the latteran extreme
price for the best brands on tho market;
white wheat st. LOUIS, medium and choice,
at $50 10 8, with n fow well known brands
at S.25 to $50; white wheat Illinois at 8 so
to 7; and white wheat Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan mt $50 to 6.25 per Dbl, with few
hvorite brands rs high rs $50 per Dbl.

AIS to $50 per Dbl for common extras and
choice family. Bakers extras are in mode
rate demand and prices range from 525 to

choice; and to $50 for Wisconsin. In low
grades the sales have been ut AIS to 5 per
Dbl for common extras, and4 to A.. so for SUI
pers.
Our stock of corn is light and receipts have
been moderate, but new will soon be arriv-
ing more freely and prices arc likely to set
tie down. New corn, If in good condition,
soils up to within , to Sc per bushel of old,
but in Western markets the difference is
more marked. We quote sales of old ut
97c TO 81 land new ut 95 to 99c per bushel for
mixed and yellow.

For Bays 7, 8 and 8 is II fair quotation for
round lots of good quality, including Nos 1,
. and g. Early caught shore macEerel are
held at 10 10 10 for No. and for No. 3, but
some caught later have been sold at lower

Molasses. The sales include Demerara at
iS to 52o; and tart Porto Rico mt 46Ic per

fair business doing in medium grades, but
choice Porto Rico is dull and neglected an
sales could only be forced at comparatively
low prices.
Sugar. Refined sugars are dull and low
or. We quote powdered ut lie; graduated
