TRADE


To-day was more sctivein all It's branches,
and fully no to the expectations OF the
most sanzuine. In the way OF groceries
and produce, the business transacted was
perhaps D9tter, comparatively, than that
OF other branches, and but for tho unfsy-
7raBl5 aspect OF the weather AND theslOW-
ers that fell during The morning, would
have Hseu better. As it was, the mer-
clients had no reason to complain, when
they consider and realize the dizziness in
the North and East. In Louisville the
banks report money scarce, with q very
/ large demand from the mercantile come
munity a. high rates of interest. Cincin-
natl, Chicago, and other commercial cities,
are complaining, while we have a largs
surplus Of currency % scarcely any de-
msnd from the merchants, who even st
his advanced season still have large bal
ancss in cauk, and VIII not, perhaps, be
pushed for money al any time during the
SEASON. We have but few changes to note
in prices, Grain sud feed seem 20 be the
leading features Of the market, and, with
the exception of IN occasional move in
butter, eggs, etc, all the interest mani
Tested seems to be conferred in that. Hay
continues quiet at Sl9G2l for good to
choice, az which price sales from hatb0at
are reported daily. Oats are steady and
unchanged, with light receipts, and &
moderate demand at 640655 from the
levGe and 203c higher from store. Corn
Is firm, and me receipts about equaltO the
demand. Sales on Change were l02 sacks
white shelled at 73c, and 200 sacks 10 order
lots from the leve8 st 74C. Bran is easier
and the demand less active. Sales were
81 sacks at SIS so, a decline Of SOC per ton.
COrnmeal is held firmly at 1928. aG which
price sales of 100 barrels on the levee were
made to-day. The demand does not seem
TO decrease suy, and even those who have
ENHEaIE a fair EnnnIu ara naHHana .n-D
the purchasers. Receipts are not large
but are fully up to the demand. In d0ur
the movement is light and almost eNciu-
siyslY confined to dealers. An advance of
2Ic per barrel was reported early in the
day, but later RdviCes nom other markets
did not show such an advance. The ma
J0rlty OF dealers however, advanced rates
10 tEe market price. Sales reported were
10 barrels w 81 S. sud so Xxx st ST25.
Receipts are improving, and now fully
meet the demand. Stocks are not large.
but many Of the merchants have sufficient
to supply their order trade for several
months. Provisions are without change
worthy of note. Mess pork is in light
supply and light demand; SE 75GI7 S7L
are the rates quoted to-day. Bacon clear
sides are duh At gH6y5zc. and are being
sold in lots at still lower prices. Shoulders
are dull and sympsthiz8 fully with the
feeling In other meats. Bulk meats are
dull and nominal. Lard is dull and I'M
changed. Begging is dnu and the supply
largely In excess Of the demand. Prices
are lower, and have o still further ten
dGncy downward, Lots OF from 8 to 70
tubs were offered 60 dealers to-day al $50
ISc, but found them Indifferent and not
willing % purchase SO even lower figures.
