Flour and Grdin.-Thc market for flour
continues dull and without Improvement.
Tho demand is confined to small lots rs
wanted by jobbers to keep up assortments,
and sales to any extent could only be made
ut very liberal concessions from the present
nominal rates. Holders are not disposed to
urge sales, but after II very quiet market for
some weeks, there is more anxiety to realize
on leading brands, and low and medium
grades move of slowly for the Provinces and
the Eastern trade. The sales of fancy Min
nesota brands nave been mt 81 to $50 per
bbl, and the latter price Is obtained only for
the best brands received. White wheat st.
Louis, common and ~favorite brands, range

well known brands mt an advance OF 25c per
bbl on the latter rate; white wheat Illinois
mt SO to $50; and white wheat Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan ut &c. 5 TO 7 per Dbl. Southern

Butter. Prices have ruled steady during
the week, with receipts gust about equal to
the demand. The bulk Of the supply arrived
on Thursday, when buyers were pretty num-
erous but rather hard to please. rs the quality
was not fully up TO their ideas. Sales of
choice have been made ut % TO 26o per ID,
with an occasional small lot of fine at 27c,
but 90 must still be considered the top of the
market. Prime grass butter may 60 u little
higher, but there Is no prospect OF an active
trade during the summer, and operators In
the country should make up their minds for
u moderate range of prices, Medium grades
range mostly from 90 TO 2ie per Id, and n
large portion OF the sales have been at these
