General Trade.

Our merchants report a fair sum
mer iobbing trade, and cheering ac-
counts come in from all directions re-
garding the condition Of the growing
crops. Fluctuations in prices are
barely worthy Of attention since yes
terday. Potato shippers are less ac-
tive, and offer lower prices, owing to a
decline in Northern markets. In grain
and produce there is but little altera-
ton, and jobbers are shy of -four, and
decline to increase scant stock except
to satisfy immediate demands. The
trade in corn, meat and meal continues
active. The steamer Centennial put
off some 300 sacks oats and nearly
1000 sacks of corn for this market
since last evening.
