This. we is owing mainly, if not altogether, to the unusually small amount in store, and will net be the case long, after new wheat and flour begins to arrive in any thing like large uantitics. The unprecedented crops of all inds of fruits and vegetables, the heavy crop of wheat which is now nearly if not quite safe from all danger, and the fluttering prospect of a heavy yield of corn, must necessarily cause, early in the fall, if not before, a considerable decline. Flour this morning is held, fine, at $10 and Small sales yesterday to home trade at those prices. Pooks sales of new wheat fi waggons at $2 for good qualities. Fr S Spectator.
