GENERAL TRADE.

The market had little animation In It yes
terday; the demand for corn was small, mos
dealers having all they wanted; and corn
meal was quiet also. There was little more
activity in shipping new potatoes, with the
price something higher, but anticipations Of
profits were not lively; snapbeans were not
to be heard of, sending them north "don I
pay" The st. Louis Republican, of Mon
day, reports the principal articles in the mar
ket ''still gravitating toward lower center

In our market corn was in slight demand,
500 or 600 sacks of the 1000 arriving the day

COrnmeal sold at 81 1902 As; an arrival of
600 barrels at noon did not improve the tone,
