GENERAL MARKET.
Business has not been very active this week
though proceeding in a good, steady way. In
the feed market, however, there has been con-
siderable movement. The stocks Of corn and
feed grown by planters is in most cases ex-
hauSted, and liberal orders have been given
the past two or three weeks. Some check in
this trade has been received on account OF a
peculiar contingency just now existing on the
railroads.. Merchandise is proceeding actively
in a southern direction, but return freights are
scarce. In consequence OF this, rates are very
low from New Orleans Upwards, 50 that corn
can be delivered from that city at Jackson
Mississippi, Holly springs, Oxford and other
towns in that direction, for less money than
from this city. This has caused a decrease OF
orders here, which, with other causes, has en-
tailed a decline In several articles, especially
in corn and oats. Corn is in large supply above
US, and dealers here have received propositions
for consignments which they have felt too lit
tie confidence to advise being made. Chicago,
81. Louis and other western cities nave large
amounts of corn on hand and arriving, a
large deliveries ofcorn that, until this season,
used 70 go through chicago are now reaching
4 eastern ports by the Dies MOines Valley and
/ TeledO and Wabash railroads., Notwithstand-
ing this the Chicago Tribune says: The stor-
age facilities and the tonnage Of Chicago are
4 adequate 70 receive and forward the unusual
crop Of corn, IL is believed that the canal
i and the BURLINGTON IAllIDal M0ulQ IOEGLleF
bring in enough 10 keep theswarehouses full
all the spring, 10 say nothing Of what might
come in by other roads. There is however,
no denying the fact that q good deal Of corn
which used TO come to Chicago is being sant
directly East over roads thai avoid Chicago
altogether" The New Orleans papers are sd-
vOcating the establishment Of barge lines ON
the river, 70 bring corn for expectation 70 that
city. Receipts az New Orleans have been
large. The Times OF that city ofthe eighteenth
SAYS: THE sales OF corn included a laIge load
of EtNf bushels IN Dulk. taken for IIVVpFnnDl
at Sc per bushel, delivered on board ship, We
also hear that there have been other sales to
the extent OF nearly 5000 bushels, all the par
ticulars of which have been suppressed by
both buyers and Sellers II can be shipped 70
Liverpool at Sd by sail and SD by steam.
The price Of the lots taken on private terms
was understood 10 be also Sc in bulk; ships
leaving New Orleansi Ia ballast gave favorable
opportunity 70 obtain cheap rates Of freight.
Owing TO the rush Of corn TO New Orleans,
rates have been as low there as in this city,
and n EBAY the quotation there was 6696Sc
when no sales We're made in Memphis at less
than 6oc. On Monday Tuesday and Wednes-
day cornln our market was at 6se-white In
good annie is the quality We are quoting
IN Thursday 65067c on Friday Csc; on Satur-
lions are given below. oats have been arriy-
ing literally. The three first days Of the week
the rate. was steady at5ec,they then declined TO
49o, $50, and on saturday to 40 and Ohio river
oats 70 46c. HGy has been in good receipt and
dealen have hIled mp their stocks; some lots
Of CHEAP prairie have had a depressing effect
on prices, but the rate has been tOlerablv
steady for good quality. Rran has been as low

Fra all week the higher grades have an p
ward tendency. BufeT shows no change; a
lot Of fresh sold at Sc. Eggs have varied, as
usual. with arrivals but have stiifened on ne
whole, quoting VI to l9c. Chickens have been in
small supply but the demand is less active
ter end Of the week; a small lot of home
raised spring chickens sold for S., There have
ben no ducks, geese OF turkeys worth mem
tiOning, and little or no demand for them.
But few apples are arriving; very good are
scarce, and command a good price, Potatoes
are in decreased demand, and rates have gone
s. j. on landing and s. 81 IA store, Onions are
practically out OF the market and have no
quotation; other vegetables are supplied from
gardens, and there is little demand for shipped
articles. Some green peas have arrived IRON

sack on saturday a second lot sold at $3.50.
scarce and wanted. Bacon has slightly stihren-
ed, and is firm and steady. BUR pork is de-
oreasilg in stock, and Will soon disappear
from the marketi rates are urn. Ness DOrE
is higher quoting sl3 9Gl4.
Our wholesale dealers are doing less bust
ness now than they were some weeks ago,
the demand for goods for the spring trade
being over, but the amount OF trade is larger
than has been usual for this period OF the
wear. and we hear only GNnIesSlOns oil salts
faction from merchants in wholesale bust
ness. In Dry Goods there is a fair degree of
activity, prices are steady and rather harden
ing. IN woolen Goods there Is 2 SHARP ad-
below make evident. In Boots and Shoes a
Tery satisfactory business is doing at steady
and settled prices. Lumber is quiet at steady
prices; seasoned lumber is in good enquiry,
but ia all articles connected with building
there Is a delayed demand in consequence Of
the impOssibfiity Of obtaining brick with
which TO build. Lime and cement are quiet
for the shove reason there Is some enquiry
for cement and but little for lime. We quote
brick higher, but the price is really nominal,
for there is none 10 be got at any price. Glass
Is quiet like other building material, prices
are steady the anticipated advance not having
taken place up to this time. HdrddDdre
Is in modsrate demand; all articles ofiron are
high, and In our quotations below we advance
two OF three figures; In tnneEs Stock we 90
vance. The rush upwards in iron comes from
an Increased demand In England, a strong de-
mand from the United states, and also from
Germany and Franoe-in the latter countries
to repair the waste Of war-and al this upon
previously low prices. The increase OF rail
ways adds largely to the demand for iron, ana
strikes among the men, and stoppages Of fur
naces in consequence, have had their share IN
enhancing prices. Flour still remains firm in
the higher grades, but the commoner kinds
are little wanted and weak. Begging and bal
ing stufs generally have almost fallen out of
the market, they are little wanted; We make
no change In quotations. Tobacco Is dull, con-
teInplated changes in the taxes p0n that arti-
ele fnakeit Impossible 10 Invest further thar

canned goods are in good demand, especially
for oysters our quotations show Few and

but there are no apples 10 be had, though the

mRnd and few arriving. Cotton seeds now Of
