GENERAL TRADE.

There were no important arrivals of pro-
duce for this market yesterday, which made
matters dull. A large amount of corn arrived,
but it was on the way down to New Orleans;
failed to induce the owners to put that
amount off. There were more oats Offering
than there was demand for, most of the
stocks were amply replenished last week.
There was again lively inquiry for bran,
which was not to be found; stocks are very
low. Good choice hay is wanted and is
something higher; medium and common re-
main heavy. No vegetables are shipping just
now, but shippers think they shall get snap
beans by the end of the week; they offer a
dollar a bushel for them. The st. Louis
Globe, of Tuesday, has the following: Corn
In limited offering and firm; oats steady, firm
and in good demand; bran easier and slow,
eastern shippers out of the market; good de-
mand for strictly prime and choice timothy
hay, with sales on the track at from 90 Is to
$ll, the latter for fancy; new potatoes were
plentiful and lower at 81 25@3 barrel, ac-
cording to size and condition; new onions,
So 50@3 rs" The Cincinnati Enquirer, of
Tuesday, reported abundance of new potatoes
at 81 50@3 25.
