WHBAr-To day witnessed the dullest session
! OF Change in nearly month. Nobody wanted
to buy TO any large extent, while it did not look
\ as If holders were at all uneasy at the apparent
absence of Inquiry The declining tendency Of
| the market has again caused the withdrawal of
many strictly choice parcels Still il must be adj
| mltsed that the Immediate surroundings are not
| very comforting. Late rains have benefited
many sections that were expected to contrib
! ute very largely to the coming harvest but
| which at the present writing assume a much more
favorable attitude. The English market during the
week has been gradually lowering the quotation to-
| day being I'd lower than Monday for SPOT lots
with cargoes III proportion. For lot of choice mill
| ing 81 40 was paid this morning to the ex emit of
600 cts. Only once before this week have we had
a sale at this figure, and that for much smaller
parcel Some 5000 cts fair shipping changed hands
