that will meet the wishes Of the aristo-

Commerce and Finance,

Demand for Flour was closely propor-
toned to actual requirements, but prices
were without quotable change, and offer
ings were on Y moderate. Spot Bran
was in fair request and firm under small
supplies Botn Hay and Straw were
quiet and weak, with liberal offerings,
particularly of the medium and low
grades. Provisions ruled steady, WITH
moderate jobbing sales. Refined Sugars
were very quiet but unchanged. Wheat
was strong, and speculation was bulish
in all domestic grain centres, due to
rainy weather in the Argentine Republic
and to higher cables. The call closed
&c. above last evenings rates. Export
demand was fair, but foreign limits did
not follow the rise here. Corn options
ruled steady up to the close of the call,
due to moderate offerings, but there was
little speculative disposition to trade.
Foreign business was restricted by the
generally low limits of orders Local
car lots were in amp'e supply for the
limited demand. Oats in car lots were
scarce and steady, though quiet. Export
demand continued light. Cotton was
quiet but steady.
