GENERAL TRADE.

Nothing of interest was to be gathered in
the market yesterday, and there were no up
river arrivals. Corn was quiet and easy, with
little doing and dropping tone; other ar
ticles of feed were too stagnant to require re-
mark. Cornmeal showed some frmness at
~ 30 with moderate demand and limited
stock. Potatoes were few, but an advance
in the Chicago market had revived hopes,
and there was a demand for them, but we
heard no offer made of the dollar-a-barrel
measure the growers stand out for. The st.
Louis Republican,, of Tuesday, reported:
Receipts small and very few sold; market
frmer, owing to the light supply. We quote:
New-southern, 75c@$1 for fair to 81 25@
i % per brl for choice; home grown, $1@
! 10 to 81 % per brl measure" The LOUIS
vile Journal said: The potato market was
quiet at stationary prices. We quote new
Irish potatoes at $1@l 25, in bulk, for home
grown and southern on arrival In barrels,
81 50@1 IS in shipping order at store" The
Chicago Tribune, of Monday. said potatoes
were plenty, 81 50@2 brl. The same paper
had the following: Hog products were less
active, and somewhat unsettled. The mar
ket was 6rm, in sympathy with hogs, which
were quoted &c higher, but weakened on the
speculative articles and closed with partial
reaction, while meats were frmer throughout,
owing to the receipt of more buying orders
for export. Flour was easy with light trade
at 81 80 to IS so; wheat declined l4c for
July and 21 for June. 1t was reported that
winter wheat was pressing heavily on buyers
at interior points of delivery, and this melted
short sellers to operate, under the general i'm.
preston that wheat will oe too plentiful to
permit even present low prices to be sus.
tanned. Corn was moderately active, and
rather weak, declining nc for this month and
&c for July, closing &c above the lowest
prices of the season. Liverpool and New
York were both dull, while our receipts were

excess of the current demand" The st.
Louis Republican reported on Tuesday:
There was check Saturday to the hereto
fore steadily downward movement of wheat
and corn-consplcuous in both-and In oats,
but in less degree-but yesterday there
was a well defined reaction in the market tor
the two former, observable both in ad-
option movement in wheat, better in corn,
aud an active market for all the grades of the
latter, cash, while options of oats were in I'M
usual activity for July and August, deals In
wheat covering 405, 900 bushels, in corn TO-
900 bushels, and oats 10000 bushels. There
has been steady hardening in all the offer
ings of hog product recently, but more espe-
cially bulk meats and bacon. Pork has been
in limited demand. and was unchanged yes
terday, selling at So 5000 40 for standard.
Dry salt meats very strong, and wanted by
our packers in even larger quantities than
they are able to acquire at once, consequent
upon the continued advanced views OF coun-
try holders. Still, we learn that. notwith-
standing a reticence on the part of those con-
cerned, large lots are being quietly taken in
by dealers here-shoulderS and clear rib are
held at AZ @5c spot. Bacon frmer and little
offering. Lard nominal at 65s q 6.65c.''
Corn IL our market was quiet with lower
