General Trade.
After two weeks or more of good
weather. the heaviest snowstOrm OF
the season set in yesterday morning
and continued throughout the day.
Muddy and impossible roads are now
likely to follow, and the plowman has
prospects Of a rest which he did not
have last week. All classes of pro-
duce have stitfened up on account Of
the wintry change, and a big list Of
sales t~ranspired on the landing yes
terday despite the slop and slush.
Receipts yesterday and to-day were
lighter, and the Wholesale transac-
tons have been mainly confined to
the heavy receipts of Sunday. Corn
shows increased strength; cornmeal
went up 10 to 15c per Dbl; oats are a
shade higher and hay is in very scant
offering. Flour is unchanged and
other articles generally quiet, with an
active order demand. Cotton ad-
vanced a 4c on all grades yesterday
tho increased 6rmness and activity in
Manufactured goods having a stimu-
lating effect.
FLOUR = Quiet and unchanged.
