General Trade.

a small lot OF new flour is reported
in the market. Old and new alike are
quiet, dealers buying sparingly and
awaiting a heavier demand, as well
as a hoped for decline. Corn exhibits
weakness and a falling off of demand.
Meats have a slightly frmer tone, the
jobbing demand being good. Meal is
steady, with a somewhat decreased
request. An active jobbing trade con-
%tinues, and the prospect favors a fair
business through the summer, with a
brisk and lucrative traffic in the early
fall.
