Flour and Grdin.-Thc past has been an
other dull and very unsatisfactory week in
the flour market. Tho trade have purchased
only in small lots us wanted, and there is
now no speculative inquiry, rs stocks are
generally held above the views of large buy
ers. We can scarcely look for any improve
ment while all branches of trade are very
dull and depressed, and round lots of flour
could only be placed Mt n considerable con-
cassiOn from the current rates. The sales of
fancy Minnesota brands have been ut 81 to
S.75 per Dbl, choice brands ranging from
% to 5.75 per Dbl for small lots. White
wheat st. Louis at $3.50 to g. for COM
mon and choice, and n few favorite and well
known brands at 25 to soc per Dbl advance
on the latter rate. White wheat Illinois at
$3.50 to $50; and white wheat Ohio, In
diana and Michigan at $6.25 to per bbl,
including favorite brands. Southern Hour is
dull and prices range from $5.2 to $50 per
Dbl for common extras and choice family.
Bakers extras have been in moderate de-
mand with sales mt us to $50 per Dbl for
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Corn. The market for corn is quite dull
Mt the decline noticed early in the week. The
warm weather makes holders anxious to keep
stocks sold upns close rs possible. The sales

Receipts light and stock small, but buyers
