Trade.

Inc receipts OF western produce are
light but fully equal to the demand.
There is nothing new to report in the
way of prices. The movement in pro-
visions and grain is light compared with
that of last week, and even the slim
prospect of improved navigation seems
to have no effect upon prices, nor does
it check the downward tendency of
prices. Mess pork is scarce at SIS.

DC; clear riL is held at Sc to s2ci shoul-
ders g to Sic. Lard and sugar-oured
