There was O perceptible Improvement In
business in alt the leading branches OF trade
throughout the day. The lun oceasloned yes
tenday was caused, mostly, by the depression
in the cotton market which still con-
tnues. The supply Of grain and west
ern produce Is stnl large, and the demand
being confined almost entirely 10 the
local trade decline In most articles has been
the result. This morning there was a better
feeling, and a greater Willingness TO aeknowl-
edge the decline, aud transactions, though
few, were willingly a The profits antici-
pated two weeks ago by dealers who stocked
up while prices were high, have not been real
ined, bat 70 the contrary, and prices, owing TO
the supply and desire % sell, have been forced
down. Corn that sold readily ten days ago At
