General Trade.

On the landing yesterday and to-
day business was active in the whole
sale line. Nearly 1000 sacks corn
sold, mainly at 80 cents for all grades,
though a few small lots went a cent or
50 higher. The market shows less
strength and a few thousand sacks
thrown before buyers Immediately
causes a drop Of two or three cents
per bushel. Oats continue in a droopy
state. Hay is firm and sells freely.

the past week will not exceed 2O0O
bales, a fourth of which was Arkansas
prairie. Bran is quiet. Flour shows
better movement, though not at better
prices. Corn meal is strong, receipts
light, and demand active. Apples are
scarce, and sell quick if sound. Beans
are in demand and at improved prices

are made without trouble, except
