GENERAL TRADE.
Theirs was no boat arrival from above yes
terday, and only limited offerings of produce
were on the market. The New Orleans Times
says the sugar crop In condition will by Nc
means compare with this time last year.
| The standing cane and the seed cane also
have suffered severely from frost this has
decreased tae average planted, while the
yield OF what is planted will be small. The
Chicago Tribune, of Thursday reports: Corn
active and unsettled, at a lower range of
prices, declining 1c per bushei, and closing
4@lc below the latest quotations of Tues
| day. The British markets were weak and
| New York lower. in sympathy with wheat,
while our receipts exhibited an increase, but
with large reported shipments. The market
was weakest for next month, the selling
| pressure being so heavy as to make the June
premium entirely disappear. The shipping
demand was only moderate, but stimulated
| some by low freight rates, and the market
for May was relatively steadied by the con-
tinued bad weather, which rendered doubtful
the prospect of big receipts during the next
| three weeks Strawberries declined under
heavy receipts (about twelve cars), buyers
taking hold cautiously at 81 25@2 40 per
case Of twenty-four boxes; gooseberries, 5@
&C per quart; cherries, 100 Zoe. ;"
Corn in our market was in too limited SUP
ply for any important transaction. On Fri
day evening hatboat-load of ear corn In
bulk, 5000 bushels. was taken at 42c. Oats
sales of 200 sacks at 35c and 3515c,
northern mixed. Bran is wanted, with
bids of SIS. which come think
will be -accerted in consequence of
lower quotations; 6tc in st. Louis. Hay
