GENERAL TRADE.

The general market during the last week
glad to say, exhibited gratifying degree of
prosperity. We have had a week OF delightful
spring weather; the roads are now in good cOnd-
ton; Ihe country people are beginning to plow
and seed and other requisites for farming operations
are In eager demand. We have, therefore, had an
active week, one that has MADE Memphis lOOR like

has cultured and has still to bear During the week
every article In the feed market except hay has ad
vanced and that IS looking higher. Potatoes almost
alone have been on the descending scale, and they
have gone lower than any intelligent observer of the
market that we know had ever expected.
