FLOUR. 



Our exports of flour (lurin<i; the past year sliow a falling off of some 

 sixty tliousand barrels, which is not surprising when we consider the 

 high prices that ruled for wheat during that period. The decline has 

 been chiefly in the shipments to Liverpool, to which jiort we sent but 

 one hundred and sixteen thousand barrels, against two hundred and 

 fifty thousand barrels the year before. This trade has not been a 

 very satisfactory one, and is not likely to assume as large proi)ortions 

 as it did in eighteen hundred and seventy-six for years to come, the 

 shipments being mostly made by one milling establishment which 

 thus seeks an outlet for its goods. The trade with China and Japan 

 on the other hand shows a considerable increase, while we have made 

 a decided gain in shipments to South America and have held our 

 own in our trade with Mexico, Central America, and the Islands in 

 the Pacific. In tlie al)sence of any other noteworthy features in the 

 market we append quotations, which are for half and quarter sacks 

 per one hundred and ninety-six pounds: "Superfine," four dollars 

 and twenty-five cents and four dollars and fifty cents; "Shipping 

 Extra," four dollars and seventj'-five cents ; " Bakers' Extra," five dol- 

 lars and five dollars and twenty-five cents.
