GENERAL TRADE.

The last week was remarkable for intense
heat, the thermometer keeping "up in the
nlneties" as far as ninety-seven degrees.
Without such a hot time, business was in It's
summer dullness; with it, and with scarcely
any shipment of fruits or vegetables going
on, the market some days approached toward
sabbatic quietude. The grocery stores, how
ever, are beginning to show some activity in
filing country orders. The Chicago Tribune
of Saturday GAYS it is rumored there that the
excessively hot weather, following heavy
rains, has reduced the grain crop 30@40 per
cent, and that there is much anxiety In mer
camille circles upon the subject. Wheat and
barley were stronger IN consequence; oats
also were better, bat corn was easier. Pack
ing hogs and provisions were also easier. The
New Orleans PicGynfte of Saturday says of
cornmeal: ''The supply is small and the de-
mand is active az 81 60 per barrel; Is barrels
sold at 50 60; rs, rs, 25, 25 and Is western
