There is but little change TO note in the business
situation, and values generally are on steady
basis Flour is little quiet, but unchanged In
price, with more life to the bling trade. Wheat
at New York and the West was strong and higher
to-day, but trine easier on Corn. The market
here for Corn is quoted from o &C under last
weeks figures. Sugars rather quiet, but prices
continue very drm at 7s4 C for granulated and
7Ac for Extra c; stock in the four ports at latest
dates was 8 1874 tons. against 3,133 tons in
