TRADE.
The general market exhibited In
creased activity to-day, and nearly
| every branch OF trade reports an i'm
prOYement over any previous day
| during the week. The receipts OF
produce were increased largely by the
arrival of two cargOes, one from st.
| Louis and one from the Ohio river,
which gave employment to con-
| signeeS, and at one time during the
morning Front street wore a lively
and animated appearance. Ship
ments of country orders, both by rail
and river, were larger than on any
| day during the week, and from ap-
~peaTances would compare favOr3bly
with those Of the early part of the
month just passed. The attendance
on Change was not sufficient to form
4 good sized cOrpOrais guard, and
offerings were fully as limited as the
attendance. The a" little war" be-
tween sellers and the middle men, in
the grain 8nd feed business, is still
carried on by the former with a de-
termination to forever squelch all
50 rings and "bear" cliques, by fill
ing merchants orders at Ievee prices.
But one lot Of corn, 90 sacks, was
offered on Change, and sold at nc for
white sheIed in new gunnies. Sub
seqUent sales upon the street were 100
and 80 sacks mixed and choice at Tia
re. There was but a limited inquiry
for cats, and sales Of only 10 sacks
white were reported at 63c. Bran was
steady, with sales Of 100 sacks at $24,
and smaller lots at $25. Hay is in

s. 30. Recent telegraphic advices
from Cincinnati and st. Louis, an
n0uHciug a stronger feeling in the
provision market at those points, had
the effect to strengthen prices here,
and caused an advance Of 25c per Dbl
on pork, and &c per ID on meats. Clear
sides, that yesterday were held at 98c,
are sold to-day, reluctantly, at &c,
and clear rib at 9sc; shoulders, 7@T5c.
