GENERAL TRADE.
Business was active for the season yester-
! day. The surrounding country is sending In
| liberal orders, and prices generally have an
upward tendency, which adds greatly to the
! reviving feeling of public confidence. There
| were no arrivals of feed, and little doing in
! that department Corn was Offering at
| lower rates for arrivals to-day or tomorrow.
| Hay is scarce, and can be had only at higher
| prices. Cornmeal was lower, butter de-
| pressed, and cabbage next door to unstable;
| 50 was got fer a crate or two. Hog pro-
ducts are very firm and advancing. The st.
Louis Republican, of tuesday, reports
last Friday wheat was surprise IN it's
break down of price, and yesterday oats
offered a surprise Ia it's equally considerable
! advance, these events preceding from di-
| rectly opposite inh1ences--the former being
a determined and persistent 'basr' force and
the latter 'bull force, based upon various
| circumstances, among which are small stock,
| small receipts and doubts of the new crop,
| occasioned by supposibtlous effect OF weather.
| But one of the most influential parties In the
| grain trade, from Whatsoever process of rea-
soning may have led to it, promptly took tho
offerings, and this carried up the market to
advances. Wheat was slow in movement,
but No. 2 red winter higher, no further dis
position (which, indeed, was expended FRI
day) being manifested to bear down the mar
ket, and corn was higher. Flour was dull
and unchanged and provisions frmer, but
not active.
