0ENERAL REMARKS
The market, especially for corn, 10 weak
and unsettled, and prices rule lower. A
fair amount Of business has been done,

and delivered, and 47c in bulk on track
car load lots. Neal 10 very firm, with re.
ceipts all taken on ARRIVAL, at 81 30.

moving except to meet the wants Of our
order trade with the interior Of the south.

tonight there is every indication Of soft
rainy weather.
