GENERAL TRADE.

GENERAL TRADE.
There was only a moderate amount of pro-
duce on the market yesterday with an active
demand tor corn, and very active inquiry
for cornmeal, which advanced; bran was
wanted and none offering; oats were quiet.
New potatoes were lower; very few Louisiana
vegetables arrive, there is no great demand
for them. The st. Louis Republican, of
Tuesday, says of the markets on change there
during the week: Provisions were without
animation and dropping; -four was as de-
pressed as low as possible; wheat weak
with downward tendency; corn we'll sus-
tanned, oats also. OF the produce market
