GENERAL TRADE.

GENERAL TRADE.
During the last week there has been "a
pretty good demand from the country for
grocery aud provision merchandise, but feed
and produce have been dull. The demand
for corn has greatly fallen off, and the same
is the case with cornmeal. Shipments of
fruits and vegetables have dwinded down to
next to nothing; potatoes have entirely
CEASED, and very few apples are Packed,
although good can be had at 50o a ta-rel.
Really fine peaches are not hume r0us, but are
readily taken. The rains we have had have
been favorable to the tomato, and some of
them are sent north Little is done in cabba &c,
although it is fine this summer; the markets
are supplied by neighboring growers. Eggs
and chickens have been lower all week than
at any previous part of the season.
