New Orleans Flour Market.
We take the following from the monthly
circular of those extensive and widely known
hour dealers, Messls. Glover Odendahl,
dated June l, 1875:
The movement of -four in our market during
last month was fairly satisfactory considering
the tardiness with which producers sent for
ward their supplies
Already in the latter part Of April an ad-
vance of fully IS cents per bbl was estab.
lished, while the scant stocks and unusual
light receipts during the early part of last
month at once forced prices nearly one dollar
per Dbl. higher, and together with an active
demand for export sustained them until the
close of the month, when arrivals became
more liberal, the absence Of orders for expert
confined the trade to limited home consump
ton, prices in consequence gradually weak
ened and settled down to the opening figures
of last month.
Low grades were little wanted all the
month, but also in proportionate small sup
ply, and prices not affected SO much as those
OF the better grades.
Mediums, especially in round lots, formed
the larger portion of last months movement
and experienced larger increase in valu'
than the other grades being wanted almos
exclusively for export; round lots preferred
at even shade higher prices.
The home trade confined itself to the better
grades, and but for the reluctance with which
dealers invested, prices would have show
more of an advance

S5s@5 IS for low trebbles, $6@7 for GOO

The Fall In Grain at Chicago.
Yesterday, the grain market of Chicag
assumed frmer tone, and advices SCENE
to indicate that the panicky decline in price
had touched bottom. Comparing the closin
quotations Of last Friday with those .
Wednesday, the decline in the several kind
of grain has been as follows On wheat
cents, corn cents, oats 5 cents and barley
cents. Taking the stocks held in that city o
