TRADE.

The general market continues to i'm:
prove, and has been more qetlYe during
the past week. Meats of all kinds are
frmer, with slight advance, owing to
short stocks in Northern markets and
an improved demand from the South.
Flour is in moderate demand and good
supply, with no change in prices since
our last weekly review. Grain and feed
of all kinds are frmer, but not materially
higher. Groceries continue firm and
quiet, without any change worthy of note.
In the hardware, dry goohq spd boot
and shoe trades there is comparatively
little doing, and no change worthy of
mention except, perhaps a slight decline
in prices. The appended table gives the
opening quotations ef the general mar,
