TRADE.
The general market during the past
week has been comparatively quiet, in
fact much more so than had been ex-
pected with but little variation or change
in prices. Flour is quiet, with an ample
stock on hand and moving very slowly
at unchanged prices. In corn there is
very little doing-prices are the same
Oats are unchanged. The provision
market opened shade irmer this morn
ing at the quotations below Groceries
are quiet, with better demand than
that Of last week; prices are, however,
about the same. An incre ased business
