Flour shows more strength in sympathy with
further rise in Wheat and milers generally are up
from 10 to 25c p Dbl, but sales are small and buy
ers do not operate beyond immediate wants At st
Louis to-day Flour was strong and prices advanced
on all grades. Grain unchanged here, while at the
West The maj kes are firm and Advancing At Liv-
erpool we notice an improved demand for tread
stutfs with prices firm. Sugars are quiet and with
olt quotably change. Eggs are in good supply and
lower at 15@18o p doz; the Boston and New York.
markets were little frmer to-day on Eggs. Cab
bases are weak and lower at $50 y ton. Baldwin

for nice stock. Potatoes steady with some improve
ment on Houlton Etock. Freah Beef dull quality
good and prices unchanged.
FREIGRTS.
The chartering business is slow and unsatisfac-
tory and lower rates have been established on coal
freghts, which are now quoted at 75@s0c from
New York 10 Portland and about 1 from Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. Coastwise lumber freights fiat.
Cuba rates unchanged at zoe on shocks and heads
to north side. JOS A. Roberts g. Co.'s circular from
Savannah, Ca, just received, says: "We are now
quite clear of unchartered vessels but tLere is
accumulation of cargo, and therefore urgent de-
mand for tonnage. There is more inquiry for YES
sells at some of the near ports and place sew
eral, with gain in loading days which will much
more than cover the cost of shifting. There of.
ferngs for Spanish ports of several small carges at
about S12 for lumber and $1.25 for rosin." The
rates from Portland to River Plate on lumber are
now S11.50@12.oo NJ.
