GENERAL TRADE OF THE CITY.-The gen
eral trade OF the,city continues fair, but
there is a perceptible diminution from last
month, as was to be expected. after the
press of the Spring trade demands were
passed. There has been much anxiety
manifested in regard to the crops, on ac-
count of the long continued wet weather;
and this has had a depressing Influence on
trade. But The fair weather of the lat ten
days has done much to put brighter face
on commercial as well as agricultural
affairs. With an easier money market
and improved prospects for the crops. we
may expect a fair trade during the entire
season, though, of course. not so heavy as
the last two months There are no inn
portant changes in prices in any depart
ment Of business during the week. Minor
changes are noted in the quotations be-
