Trade.


The receipts of produce by the st
Louis packet this morning we're liberal
and coming upon an already overstocke(
market, in some respects, caused breal
in prices; especially was this the case il
grain and feed. as well as provisions, the
latter going still lower on the receipt o.
private kilograms from Cincinnati, Civ
ing an unfavorable report of the condi.
tisE of that market. Advices from St.
Louis were not very encouraging to large
holders of meats, and from the DISPOSE
ton manifested to realize, it is evident
that but little faith is placed in the fl-
ture of prices either here or at the points
mentioned. Illustrative of the feeling
here in mess pork, we note sales to-day
at $l3 90 to Is Is both in a large and
small way, and sales of bacon clear sides
