GENERAL TRADE.

was quiet ana sOmeumeS 0uIl, ana yesterday
was one of the dull days. Corn has been in
increased misunderstanding stocks-which
has caused an advance. Oats have been in
fair inquiry, with not much doing. Bran
has been wanted all week, and scarce; a
moderate quantity would supply what is
wanted, but now stocks are low and every
body wants some. There Is a fair demand
for superior hay at some improvement in
price; common and medium are not in favor.
Cornmeal has been In very active demand all
week, and prices advanced. Flour was I'M
changed, easy, and dull. No vegetables
have been shipped; snapped-beans are
looked for, and potatoes have arrived in
small quantities; blythe end of the week they
will probably be shipping, but the prospect of
prices is not encouraging; the fine spring has
put everything ahead in the north. Eggs
are In less demand, with the warmer wea-
Their; but continue in poor demand at low
prices. The New Orleans Picayune of Sat-
urday says the market there is nearly bare of
cornmeal, and has advanced to 81 so; corn
was in light supply and active demand at
51@53c. Saturdays st. Louis papers quote
