Age-HeraId Office.

Wednesday Night, Aug. [. Several changes were noted in the local quotations today, all indicative of health fer market. Some hold that with advancing prices the market shows healthier sign, while others hold the contrary, claiming that goods move more easily when quota tons are down. The market reporter finds the former holds good as relating to Bir- minghafn. The spirits of all in the whole sale district are buoyant and predictions of a fine fall trade more plentiful.
 Flour is off but firm.
 Sugar is firm, and yellow clarified up an eighth.
 Coffee moved up a shade, green goods go- ing up 12c and roasted Pc.
