GENERAL TRADE.

The general market was dull all the week;
we have reached "hy-time," and dizziness is
what we must look for. The most prominent
point in the market Is the disappointment OF
shippers and growers of fruits and vegetables
at the small amount of business doing this
season, owing to the forwardness OF the
northern crops. The demand for corn and
feed has become much lighter; the grocery
and provision merchants have fair amount
of orders for the season. The New York Bnt-
letin says its latest crop returns are full OF
promise, and adds: 1.-The respondent anxl-
ETY. of two weeks ago, caused by protracted
wet weather, has given place to an almost
assured certainty of repetition of last years
bountiful yield. One week of bright, hot
weather, coming just in the nick of time, has
been the salvation of the corn crop, and has
been worth millions to the opening wheat,
oats and barley" The New Orleans Times.
