Although, since our last remarks on the grain market, flour has advanced 20s per ton, the demand has been steadily maintained ia trade lots, NowJ that town brands command Lls, speculative inquiries have erased ; the millers, however, have no fear of prices being snstained, but are sanguine fer higher rates, since the last news from California shows an advance of nearly L2 per tea there. Wheat has also improved, and for prime samples the millers are offering 5s 9d—6s has been given for a parcel intended fer gristing. The supply is plentiful and quality generally very fair.
