Flour is offered at a reduction on last week's quotations, but the demand is not brisk, and the supplies on hand are larger than usual. We may say that this "article at present is un- • quotable, purchasers having to pay such prices as may be agreed upon. There is no alteration ill wines and spirits, which remain firm at last week's prices. There is an advance on oats over last quotations, but the demand i s not brisk. Potatoes remain the same, without an increased demand. The market is well supplied with produce of every ind, and retailers' prices remain unaltered.
