Commerce and FINANCE.

In Flour there was scarcely anything
done. Most jobbers were temporarily
well supplied and there was general
indisposition to operate. Prices were
weak and unsettled. Spot Bran was
quiet and unchanged, with small but
ample offerings. Hay was freely offered
and ruled weak, under slow demand.
Straw was in moderate supply and
offered at former rates, but buyers
operated sparingly. Refined Sugars
were in moderate reqest and firm. Pro
visions were steady, with moderate sales
in jobbing way. Wheat was weak, in
fiuenced by bearish speculation in other
domestic grain centres, due to lower
cables and the favorable Government
crop report. Offerings here continued
light, and in the absence of transactions
quotations were wholly nominal. Corn
options we're weak, in sympathy with
the decline in the west; but the call
closed about the same as last evening.
Cables were lower and exporters had few
orders. Local car lots were dull and
weak, though in small supply. Oats in
car lots were dull and ruled in buyers
favor, under fewer offerings. Cotton ad-
vanced 1-l6c. per pound.
