FLOUR AND GRAIN.-There is better demand
for Flour, and sales have been more liberal than
for some time past. Stocks have accumulated b0t
we do not look for lower prices while wheat con.
tnues so high at all points There is fair prospect
OF more business doing as stocks in the hands Of
dealers must be pretty well reduced. The market
remains dull for Corn and Oats. We quote:

DRY GooDs.-COmmercial and Shipping List
Trade has not yet opened with any force and he
market preserves very quiet tone. There mc no
changes OF importance to report, but on nearly all
kinds of Cotton fabrics there is stronger feeling
and the Impression is gaining ground that rates
when buyers are prepared to operate. stocks zen.
orally are light for the season and the outlook Is
fairly encouraging. Both jobOers and mluultctu.
rers have experienced close wear, and only Uy the
| strlctest economy and most judicous management
| mas any money been made. The mills running on
export goods have Kept production well sold up
and their accounts show fair balance Of profits;
but on Common Goods for home consumption very
| little If any profit has been secured. No great
losses nave been sustained, however, and the sliua.
ton ON the whole Is better than at this time last
year. Ia the J0OOlng firms very few changes are
announced, and all the leading houses remain
about the same as last year.
WOOL The year opens with a comparatively
quiet w DOL market, but there is steady and im
leelng and holders appear to be confident that II
any cnange takes place 1t will be for the better.
rms view Is strengthened By the comparatively
small stocks now on hand IN the leading ma heJs.
