TRADE.
The week past has been a quiet one in
ell branches OF trade, and the volume OF
business done will hardly equal that OF
the previous week, but compares favor
ably with that done uuring the cores
pOnding week last season. The principle
features of trade in the general market
have been grain and iced, provisions and
produce. New apples have been in active
demand, but receipts were light, and ship
ments to Northern cities were hardly
equal to those of last year; dealers bought
literally at 81 50G4 per barrel, loose from
the wagon, and were paying about the
anne to-day. Butter has been fairly active
during the week, with but light receipts
OF strictly choice, which has ruled steady
at 20G2lc; good to fair Is in abundant sup
/ ply and is dull at l6@lSc. Beans are dull
and nominal. BrOOms and brOOmcOrn

prices advanced q shade; closing firm to-
day, with sales Of % and 100 barrels at
s. 70 at the landing, and S. % delivered.

only, st l24l3 for Western. Coffee is
steady and has undergone no material
change; the advance in the gold premium

vance was realized. COttonsesd is in good
demand at s. per ton on the levse, and is
tending upward. Dried fruit is dull and
nominal. Eggs opened dull during the
early part of the week, but as receipts
were light prices advanced until to-day,
when l60l7c was realized on several lots
of fresh. Flour is dull and 25Q50c lower
than quoted in our last weekly review;

day it was q difficult matter to dispose Of
the smallest consignment at that basis;
one or two small lots were offered on
Change at s. for low paper, but were not
sold. The movement in grain and feed
during the week has been light in conse-
Quence partly from q downward tenden-
cy In prices, but chiefly from the fact that
nearly all of the country consumers have
supplied themselves for the time that
their stock will be busily engaged in the
fields. Some dealers, however, report a
fair order trade. Prices operated steady
at Tx for choice white, and declined to II,
at which rate offerings on Change to-day
we're large. Mixed was offered st zoe, but
did not find purchasers at over Csc; sales

the week at S395 for young, and S0Q6 for
Old chickens. Provisions opened steady
and with an upward tendency; clear sides
advancing to 9HC in round lots; and mess
pork to $40 5O@I6 IS; during the latter
portion OF the week, however, it WAS dis
covered that the upward movement was
caused by spectators in other cities, who
&" bulled the price just long enough TO

they did at their leisure, making q profit
on their sales; as soon As they sold out In
Cincinnati prices gave way, and but for
the efforts made by the packers in st.

resulted. Mess pork is held al SIG ESQ
