Gold in New York closed at lI4a:
same time last year, llIs.

The GENERAL NJ .RKET ia less active
than might be l,.,oked for at this time of
the year, esn ,ecially as our receipt of cot
toh Is no ., 81, 800 bales beyond what it
gas a. this time last year, while the
sIo' q left in hand is less. We are now,
-'oUeveT, nearing the holidays, and as
they approach we may expect more ac-
tiFity. Germ was lifeless yesterday, no
boat having arrived from up the river
for the past two days there was little
offering; an offer OF 45c for ear corn in
sacks was made, and the offeTef expect
ed his proposition would be accepted.
oats were without transactions; they
We're Offering at 44(945c. Bran wss
Offering at ST. IS, but we heard of no
sale. Hdyis very dull for common quail
tiles; some fair bright mixed sold at SIP.
COrTlB1eat was again very quiet at 81 35.
Eggs were quiet and steady at 26{927c.
Butter is tame and unchanged. Chickens
Offering on the market are generally
small, and they are not wanted; dealers
have 10 accept 81 q dozen for
them, and some poer, shivering
chicks brought as little as 81 so;
for. fat, large hens 81 ana 81 so can be
had, and such sell well. Ducks bring
generally So 1904, and geese So 50@6.
Turkeys, like chickens, are neglected
when small; fine ana large will bring
SIS high rs SIS; Cssed turkeys, when
fiue, ave readily taken. Apples have
no change OF price; some choice be le-
flowers brought S. barrel Cabbage

for hundred head. Potatoes generally
remain weak, except that there is more

better inquiry; Ohio river sol !, in
store, down to s 40 a barrel. Onions
are very heavy, aud common in sacks
can be had low; for good 81 9092 are

maud, but prices are dropping, as will
be seen 10y referring to the tables be-
lO#. The Cincinnati Enquirer of
Thursday says: "The market IS decided
ly dull aud heavy, with prices ruling a
little lower on most articles, and not
much disp,s ton to buy at the Decline"
The st. Louis Globe Of Saturday re-
potts: "Ths day was only quiet fol.

business ligh'. At tire stock-yards the
hog were all gObbled st about THUR

the feeling was dull aud lower" Tae
December Chicago Provision Circular
OF Messrs. EgglestOn, Henness & Co.,
ssyz that duuBg the month the weak
ness OF the market has been more fully
developed, and meats were off 3a5c,
and decidedly dull at the decline. For
egH orders ia meats have generally
