Fi.ouR AND Meal. — The market for all descriptions of producej

 market has been inactive. The range for fair we.stem brands is 

 $6.37>^a6 50, with sales at both prices. Genesee is $6 50a6 62}4, 

 jind occasionally even more for a better brand. For common the 

 sales were about 1000 bbls, in addition to which 50p bbls Cana- 

 dian flour were taken for export at $6 37^^. Meal, the inquiry is 

 limited. There has been sales 6 or tOO bbjs at $2 44a2 50 and 2 or 

 300 bbls Rye Flour at 3 62^^03 75. 



Grain.— Fair demand for Wheat but holders ask prices above 

 the views of buyers. Genesee is held at $1 50, and Ohio at 1 40 

 at 42. There has been a little improvement in the demand for 

 Corn for the east and for shipment. About 10.000 bushels Jersey 

 yellow changed hands at 52c. and 10 tc 12.000 bushels at 47a 

 49c. a little touched. Sales 2500 bushels Rye at 75c, and 2000

Buffalo, March 27—3 P. M. 



Flour is dull to-day, and holders have submitted to a slight de- 

 cline. Some 200 bbls. Kagle Mills, Vpsilanti changed hands at 

 $5,25, and 350 bbls of two equally good brands western taken at 

 the same. Rather more inquiry exists for wheat, and we notice
