  We present an analysis of the ENEAR sample of peculiar velocities of
elliptical galaxies, obtained with D_n-\sigma distances. We use the velocity
correlation function to analyze the statistics of the field-object's
velocities, while the analysis of the cluster data is based on the estimate of
their rms peculiar velocity, Vrms. The statistics of the model velocity field
is parameterized by the amplitude, \eta_8=\sigma_8 \Omega_m^{0.6}, and by the
shape parameter, \Gamma. From the velocity correlation statistics we obtain
\eta_8=0.51{-0.09}{+0.24} for \Gamma=0.25 at the 2\sigma level. Even though
less constraining, a consistent result is obtained by comparing the measured
Vrms of clusters to linear theory predictions. For \Gamma=0.25 we find
\eta_8=0.63{-0.19}{+0.22}$ at 1\sigma. Overall, our results point toward a
statistical concordance of the cosmic flows traced by spirals and early-type
galaxies, with galaxy distances estimated using TF and D_n-\sigma distance
indicators, respectively.
