GENERAL TRADE.


principal subject was a sharp decline in St.
Louis frelghts to l5c a barrel, said to be IN
opposition to the kountZ line. This decline
caused some suspension OF purchases and
corn was less active, while meal, to arrive,
underwent a sharp decline. Potatoes came IN
slowly and commanded about Zoe better.
Eggs sold down, in instances, to a very low
figure when packed open. Shippers who
pack in this way are against their own inter-
est, flea are attracted and damage the eggs
for sale. During the warm weather eggs
should be packed 10 closed boxes; some fresh
arrived so packed sold one cent above regular
price while open packed went to one and
even two cents below. Attention to the iu-
formation we here give will be greatly to
the advantage of the packer. Chickens were
plenty and dull. Butter continues depressed.
ice st. Louis Republican, of Wednesday, re-
ports the arrival of the first new hour from
new wheat from Columbia, Illinois, Koenig-
smack miller; was sold on change at 81 Oh.
This manufacture has the distinction of
having been the first 10 market for some
years past. and in this instance was made
from wheat grown by Mr.. George Divers,
Fish lake, near Columbia, Illinois. The nota-
BILE fact In the case OF this HOur is its attesta
ton In dryness OF the superior condition of
the wheat crop-this -four being adapted to
immediate baking use. 1t is con .eded by all
that the new wheat thus far shown and sold
on change Is emlnently superior to that OF
former years., aud 1t Is confidently stated that
| it the weather remain favorable bpt brief
time the crcp. reason IDLY tributary to st.
Louis will prove itself superior to any market
ed for years past.
