GENERAL TRADE.

to the feed market yesterday, but the general
condition was quiet. Vegetable and fruit
shipping was nearly at stand; corn was the
only thing active. The st. Louis Republican
Of Thursday, speaks as follows of the state Of
the market there: There is evidently NO
backbone to the principal produce markets,
but this fact is more specially evident in
wheat and flour, which really tend toward
Generalization, If they have not yet reached
1t. Provisions also display no strength, nor
can justly under the large receipts of hogs at
leading packing centers and continuous sum-
mer packing. Corn even is weak and dis
posed to decline" N addition to what is
here said of provisions, Drake d. Co., of Chi
cigo. give the following explanation of the
iate advance: 1--WE feel confident that the
clique who have forced the advance have
done so with the intent to ultimately force
the consuming trade to buy at this point.
For the present they stife the consumptive
demand by reason OF contiguous markets
being cheaper, but the competing mar
kets will be speedily dra; ned of sup plies,
and Chicago will hold the key to the situa-
ton. We fancy this to be the basis of the
present strong bull movement here. The
clique are composed of our strong capitalists,
and chiefly those who have suffered greatly
on the past decline are now pressing thei-
advantage to the utmost" The Nashville
american, of Wednesday, said corn was quiet
there, with little inquiry; corn, July delivery,
40G43c bid; for August and September, 40c.
Wheat, 85c; SOC bid for June and August de-
livery. Potatoes dull, with large offerings.
