.Ita TRADE. A lt
The general market has shown but
little activity, and business has been
comparatively dull, not even reaching
the expectations of the most sanguine.
Flour continues in fair request, with a
liberal supply. Grain is somewhat
scarce, especially corn, which has adj
vanced from to cents since our last
review Oats are firm but quiet Hay
is in fair demand at previous quotations.
Provisions have been scarce and prices
have advanced, owing to the warm
weather. The stock of bacon has been
exhausted once or twice during the week,
and dealers did not care to replenish
further than to ell immediate orders,
fearing the meats would spoil before
reaching here. Groceries are quiet and
without change worthy Of mention. Sew
eral lots Of new sugar and molasses have
arrived during the week, but as yet the
stock on hand has not increased to an
extent that would r,ecessitate any reduc-
ton in prices. Coffee, tea, sugar and
the other staple groceries are in fair re-
quest from country dealers, but the trade
in those articles hat, not yet met the ex-
pectations of dealers. Bagging is frac-
ton lower owing Il, strong competi-
ton and abundantsupply. Iron-ties are
about the same. Dry goods, hardware
and the boot and shoe trades have un-
dergone no esse otial change since our
last. Prices are generally steady and
firm. We give below the opening quo
