TRADE.
Offerings and the attendance on Change
were slightly improved yesterday, but oul
merchants have not vet become fully i'm,
pressed withtheimportance Of the Change
| system, consequently some pay very little
| or no attention to il. In the Wsy of trans
! actions there were sold 90 half boxes me-
dunn tobacco, at IKE a caddies bright
/ quarters, at Gle; IL sacks ear corn, at zoe;
so sacks bran, at SIS; loo sacks corn, in
burlaps, at zee; 100 barrels peach blow
potatoes, s. 80 to s. 70; II bales hay, at
SO: 500 sacks white corn, in new
gunuies, was offered at 72Lc, but
found no takers. Indeed, from the pres
eut heavy receipts at st. Louis there Is a
probability of prices going lower at an
early day. Almost every boat coming
there from the Illinois, Missouri OF upper
Mississippi, brings more or less corn,
which, according to our st. Louis eX-
changes, viii cause a decline there. Sell
lers seem to think If q decline should
occur ii viii be but slight, and will not
affect prices here. In the general market
business has been fair, and an average
amount of goods was turned Out Tor ship
ments. Groceries and provisions seem the
principal feature, while Hour and grain
were neglected. Choice butterisscaTcs and
held firmly. while inferior is ia excess of
the demand, and is dull. COrnm6al is
quiet and unchanged. Corn was held
trmer at the opening, but was easier at
the close. Nothing OF consequence was
done in oats, bran OF hay. Receipts of
flour are shout equal to the demand;
prices are steady. In provisions q weaker
feeling is shown, and prices have a down
wsrd tendency. We hear Of sales Of mess
pork az $50, though the asking price is as
uuoted below. In bacon or salt meats
there was little done. Potatoes are in
better supply, and prices a shade easier.
