eKNERAL REMARKs.

Reports from New Orleans are rather
unfavorable and tend to depress the mar.
ket hero. Prices at that market have de
clined and at last advices we're still tend
ing downward. supplies we're generally
good and the demand falling of on nearly
everything. Rates Of exchange were
per cent, and currency quoted . per cent.
Our market continues IS yet without
material change, although prices rule q
trlas lower. Receipts Of grain are small
and stocks are very much reduced.
