Glover & Odendahl's Monthly Flour Circular.
We are indebted to Messrs. Glover 4 Oden-
dahl for the following monthly circular OF
flour and meal
We find but little change in the flour trade
of the past thirty days. The market has been
dull throughout, and prices have eased Oft 80
cents per barrel on all grades. The good de-
mand for favorite brands for export to Cuba,
noted in our last, has ceased for the present,
leaving on hand q handsome supply OF very
desirable fours in round parcels to invite the
attention of exporters We think we may
safely state that few markets in The world
could show more handsome offerings in
quantity and quality for the West Indian or
South American trade. We would note in
connection with this that some endeavors
have been made to attempt venture cargo OF
assorted produce, principally flour, to the
South American and Brazilian ports.
This movement meets with reception of va
rious kinds among our merchants. While
some are favorably disposed towards this
movement, others view it with doubt and mis-
trust as to whether the ultimate object aimed
at by such enterprise, viz: the establishment
of q regular line Of steamships hence to RIO
and intervening ports, the increase OF the
coffee business and reciprocal trade In flour
and Western produce would thereby be at
tanned. We fully appreciate the various
opinions Of our intelligent commercial COM
munity, and above all do we esteem that
quiet and solid mind which calculates the
safety and stability of every undertaking.
Without such minds to equalize the enthusl-
astic and Jealous element all such undertake
inps would be badly calculated. We can not,
however, avoid to lay before our community
that we must not attem pit this movement with
the expectation of making an immediate
profit, nor with the intention OF sending out
one cargo only, nor must we permit the move
ment to be confined to few persons
We must open this enterprise with the view
with which a new firm, which enters into
business, makes itself known, and sends out
its cards. We must expect it to cost us some
thing. Then we should send out three or
four cargoes to give our brands of flour
successful good stand, and our other articles
of produce their deserved good reputation.
Then it is necessary that we all should parti-
cipate SO that it will not be burden to some
few, but being divided among US all. it will
become trifing matter to each individual.
We believe also that many Western shipper
would gladly embrace thu opportunity and
authorize his agent to participate in the move
ment for his account, with view to push the
enterprise, and to get his articles or brands
introduced in new and large field OF con-
sumption. We venture to say that in starting
~ 49,
success of the enterprise.
Our stock of -four on hand on the lst ult.
was SO, aga bbls.; the receipts since then are
"a, S56 bbls, giving us total supply OF 1885,
800 bbls. The stock on hand to-day Is %, l4O
bbls., which gives US consumption OF 55.loO
bbls. Compared with last month, we have
an increase in stock of 20, GIG bbls.; IN re-
ceipts II PAT bbls.; but reduction in con-
sumption of IA, $40 bbls. Compared with
same month last season, we have reduction
all through-in stock, 20, 229 bbls.; in re-
ceipts, l6. S14 bbs. in consumption, 13, 692
bbIs. Our exports were to Cuban and other
foreign South Gulf ports, 10, 456 bbls.
Our trade in corn meal has somewhat I'M
proved on the very light business OF last
month. The stock of meal on hand on the
LIST ult was IS bills; the receipts since then
1922; total supply of 1897; stock on hand
to-day, 1900; showing consumption OF 'f9'
bbls. Very respectfully
GLOVER & ODENDAHL.
LIVERPOOL Cotton CircnIar.
From Watts's Liverpool Report, Nov. IL,
we take the following:
Present and iAnte- Var PriceS.-We observe
that the New York Financial Chronicle in its
issue of the 30.h ult., says "much interest
and some surprise has been expressed at
the statements on this sub ect contained in
our report under date of LIST ult. Referring
to that report it will be seen we stated briefly
that the classification of American cotton in
this market is very different now from what 1t
was before the American war; that what was
then classed as Fair would now class about
Good Middling and what was then Middhng
would now be classed Strict Good Ordinary to
Low Middling. In. evidence of this we cited
the fact that MiddsAg Fair was now the high
est grade quotSssd Sge, whereas then four
higher grades vi QOted.
The conclusiof erthe hich we come was that
