The flour market in the early part of the week had'become .somewhat kinguij, and prices had an easier inclination ; to-day, however,.-has witnessed quite a rally ■ there has been lively inquiry for best b.andx, and s:>Jes of same consist r:;b!e parcels axe reported nt full v quoted rates, with reverJ tntn-aeliuna still ponding.

The timber market-shows some slight iiuprovement, but unfil thy condition of the roads is such as to reduce the present rates of eartase, but little permanent nmcndmenfc can be looked for.

The tobacco tradei remains unsettled, and correct quotations very difficult to .arrive at. Holders, although very firm, continue to try the niarkst without inducing buyers t.) advance their prices. Extensive sales are advertised to take place during the ensuingl week, and if really intended for disposal, positive quotations will he obtained.
