GENERAL TRADE.

Except in corn and cornmeal the market
was quiet yesterday; the first shipment of
Tennessee seed potatoes of the season was
made, the shippers were Erb q Co. From
the forwardness of the crops north and the
low rate at which louisiana potatoes have
been selling there, the prospect Of prices are
not very favorable toward the grower. Two
dollars barrel measure are as much as mer-
chants propose to offer, and they express
doubts of realizing a profit at that figure.
Crop accounts show that the recent cold has,
on the whole, done less damage than had
been expected. In northern Ohio and some
other points potatoes were severely nipped,
but sunshine will revive them. In some ar
ticles, badly injured, there is time to replant.
Corn in our market was again active, about
1000 sacks sold of a receipt of $500 sacks, In
