General Trade.

1858 IMAM commission men
desire. Sales oil round lots Of nearly
all articles on the landing are slow to
except they are made at prices
a shade under the market quotation.
The articles Of corn and hay are not
included in this list. Hay sells readily
at full prices, while corn has been so
scarce for some days past that even
inferior found ready takers. Peach
blow potatoes are fat. Sales Of several
hundred barrels were made from the
landing, yesterday, as low as 81 % per
barrel and that too for choice stock.
Offerings Of feed, to arrive, were re-
yesterday at SOC for corn, S13
bran, 40 for oats, and sales of corn
meal could not be effected at figures
which would let the commission mar
out, unless at a loss. The coarse and
inferior article brought from lower
Ohio mills and sellingat 15c per barrel
under good meal from the West has
done much to demoralize the market.
Poultry, especially chickens and
turkeys, continue scarce and find
ready takers at full figures. Meats
maintain a strong tone, owing to their
though the New Orleans as
well as Western markets are all droopy
and lower. There is but little de-
mand for -four.
