GENERAL TRADE.

try people busily engaged, and few of them
find their way to the city, but orders tor sup
plies caused some activity among the grocery
stores yesterday, and the cornmeal and corn
movement still goes on. Low as are pro-
visions, it will be noticed that we introduce
figures still lower In some instances IN our
quotations this morning. The New Orleans
Times, of Tuesday, quotes corn advanced to
53@54c; cornmeal higher, owing to scarce
supply-sales as high as 81 60, with bids of
that amount refused and 81 Is asked; west

So 50@3 rs; mixed slow at 81 5O@3. The
st. Louis Republican, of Wednesday, has the
following: Flour lower and very dull-cer-
tainly 10c off on what little was sold, but a
still further decline of 10c would have to be
accepted in order to sell freely; city cornmeal,
