FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.

21,7On bbls. Shipments 1852 BIB S.
S4.75@'4.90 for second patents: $50 @420
for fancy and export bakers; S2@225 for
low grades in bags, Including red dog.
There is no great effort now TO get out
large quantity of flour, for there IS little Sc
to stimulate energy in that direction than the
mere reduction in cost of manufacture
When the same cost for help puts out
larger amount of flour the cost per
barrel is less. There Is very little cause eX-
cepting that for activity; for n small surplus
was put east of the lakes before the advance
i'll freights, and there is very little fresh de-
mand now, so that moderate output as
ual Mt this season, supplies the demand there
Is. Owing tothe low stage OF water. an Incl
dent OF the first freezing, this week shows a
smaller production than had been for long
time. Market weak a shade lower.
All classes of feed and coarse grain were
dull and difficult to sell, and realize late
prices. They were III sympathy with the
dulness and weakness in wheat, and if buy
ers could rot get them at their own figures
they took no more than actually needed for
immediate use.
