During this week the receipts Of Flour have
fallen off GIT bbls as compared with last week

confined to the local trade at prices showing a
decline of 12k@25c on the barrel. The supply
of Flour continues to be light.
The supply of Corn Meal has been insufficient
to meet the demand which has been active dur
ing the week. Prices have consequently ad-
