Of Flour, direct from the mills, are large, but
prices we're we'll sustained. The receipts of
Wheat are of an inferior quality and prices
for this grade are low. A prime Wheat that
would do for seed or for primo quality of
Flonr, is in demand and would command the
highest prices, say 57a5Sc. Corn is very
quiet but firm at the low prices now prevail
ing. Primo dry new Oats are in demand, but
at low prices. Good dry samples of Rye, free
of garlic are scarce. A good article would
bring cent or two above quotations. Mill
feeds arc particularly dull Our country
friends are using their green corn and grass
for feeding. Butter, Eggs, SC, are in fair de-
mand.
