General Trade.

No increase of activity is to be
heard of in any branch of trade. All
seem to be alike stagnant. Aside from
the retail and light jobbing business,
there is no movement Of interest, all
owing to the vigorous crop planting
labors of agriculturists, and the gen
eral scaling down of values. There is
scarcely a single commodity that rose
on last falls boom, but has dropped
back to a point within fair reach Of
last years prices. A strenuous effort
was made to keep up the boom in iron,
but the pressure could not be held
out against, and a week ago nail
makers lowered rates to 81, a tall Of
over 50 per keg. Other species of
metal have experienced aa equally
rapid decline. We have very little
change to report in the markets to-
day. Flour is quiet; meal without
animation; corr and other species of
food easy, or barely sustaining values;
meats are unchanged, while coffee,
sugar. molasses and rice are steady. A

of local and interior merchants is re-

very easy, with a good request for

in sparse amounts. Rates are steady
