GENERAL TRADE.

There was a little corn among the slight
river arrivals yesterday, otherways the mar
ket had very little movement. Potatoes are
in better demand, but packers cannot offer
81 barrel, and the growers generally say
they cannot afford to bring them In for less.
Apples arrived rather more freely, and good
are readily taken, as also are peaches; plums
are neglected. Eggs were dropping, owing
to too great plenty and warm weather. A
farmer, writing to the st. Louis Republican,
says: "All farmers have about made up their
minds that Coz to Csc is what they will have
to sell their wheat at. Adding freight, etc,
it will place the new crop in the st. Louis
market at 75c to Soc. This is the price ready
to be accepted now. Kansas has the largest
crop ever known by millions of bushels, and
will not get to exceed SOC, and many buyers
are already talking 40c; so, with their cheap
rates of freight, you can see what No. z
spring is likely to be in Chicago.
The crop is a full month ahead The
Republican said on Tuesday: 1T is true that
most of the shorts are taken in at a profit,
having been put out at higher figures than
are now ruling. The shipping movement is
far from being so brisk as could be wished at
this season of the year. but stocks are well
kept down." The Chicago Tribune, Of Tues
day, reports "hog products rather quiet and
averaged easier. There was not much de-
mand for pork and lard, and they eased off,
though hogs were quoted firm on a moderate
fact of good inquiry, partly on southern ac-
count, and report of higher quotations In
Liverpool. The outgo of meats continues
large" kilograms received here yesterday
report activity and great strength in Chicago;
we advance quotations once more. The New
Orleans Times, of Tuesday, reports potatoes
in light demand there at $1@1 so barrel;
cornmeal in moderate receipt and 5@10c
higher, quoting at 50 50@2 So.
Corn In our market was IN small supply,
with some inquiry; a lot of 200 sucks of white
was taken at Soc, and 200 more was offering
at the same. Oats and bran-nothing re-
ported, and hay was equally stagnant. Corn
meal was selling at 81 %, but the feeling
was sitter, and 81 40 was asking after din
