the year before.
General Trade.
Liberal additions to the generally
depleted stocks Of breadstuffs and feed
were made this morning by the arrival
of a feet Of barges from st. Louis.
The consignmcnts were mainly to
fill orders and went to store for job
bling account, hence had no effect on
wholesale values. A small lot Of
rather poor hay offered, but met few
bidders. Meal is scarce, but
could be had at the mills at a
reasonable figure. The rainy weather
of the past two days has soaked the
earth, and muddied the highways so
that potato men cannot do anything,
aud the low price affords little in
ducement toward exertion even with
the weather in more favorable order.
The effect Of the recent copious rains
upon growing cotton it is feared will
be bad, though to what extent is yet
unknown. Much depends on the
future state ofthe elements. Happily
the skies have cleared and though it is
too cool for cotton, a favorable
change may occur within the next
twenty-four hours.
