high. Receipts for the day were l Is cars,

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The market was quiet and little
doing, though more orders came in than on
the preced ng day. The orders were all from
interior points, New York, Boston, Balti'
more, Philadelphia and few other distrib-
uting cenlers wanted nothing. The trade
has not recovered from the shock following
the wheat break, and is not buying but to
meet the present with. There is some I'M
easiness with miilers regarding the stability
of prices and cuts would perhaps be made if
they could afford it. But as The flour has
cost more than the highest quotations there
is not much prospect OF serious trouble.
