General Trade.

Our jobbers report the meat mar
ket droopy and lower, with stocks of
smoked sides and shoulders run down
to a very low point, many dealers being
entirely out. No stock of corn or
oats is in first hands here, and but
little among second dealers. Corn
meal is looking up a little, and the
supply is scarce. Fleur is weak and
lower with stocks ample. Bran is also
droopy and plentiful. Hay is scarce
aud meets ready buyers. The trafc
among produce dealers is brisk. APP
pies are strong and in ready demand,
while potatoes are a little weak and
unsettled, with holders of choice East
ern stock unwilling to sell under the
prices heretofore ruling. Large ship
ments are under way from western
New York, and now hat navigation is
about to be resumed in the Ohio, we
may look for receipts frOm that direc-
ton. The weather was rainy and
inclement yesterday, but turned of
cold and wintry last night after a
long season of genial autumnal tempe
nature. This morning the skies had
cleared away, the air was calm, and a
good frost covered the earth.
FLOUR AND MEAL. - The flour
market is we'll supplied, with the tone
droopy and prices lower. Jobbers quote
at from $500 to $500 for the several grades
from family to fancy, and IS 25@8 80 for
patents. Corn meal is unsettled, a round
lot changing hands at 1886 per barrel,
but dealers generally claim values higher
and set $3.50 as the price.
FEED STUFFS.-lhe supply of corn
is almost exhausted, and values are given
at S0G8lc per bushel, with small dealer:
selling at S8aSSc. Oats are the same as

Tuolumne Pocket Mines.
tockton (Cal.) independent.

The gold fever Is raging with pecu-
liar tierceness at Sonora. Men have
left their vines and their orchards, and
have taken to the hills with picks and
shovels, and fresh dirt is visible at
every hand. A new light has recently
dawned on the people of that section.
They find that the miners of twenty
years ago failed because their search
was for gold. They should have look
ed for lodges and pockets. They look
ed for rich gravel and failed; men to-
day r searching for rich pockets and
lodges, and are finding them. They
enter old tunnels, and seeing a slip of
clay, may be no thicker than a piece
of paper, they follow on, and 10! a
pocket. They dig into the hills and
strike n blue streak and de-
tect the contact line be-
tween the state and limestone,
and see where water has found its
way in and carried its Ingredients
with it and rotted the rock, and they
take out the yellow dirt and put it
through a battery and pocket from
500 to 5000 per ton for their ven
ture. Sometimes the vein of quartz
is found, and that is taken and milled
with good results; but the richest
finds of all are the little pockets of
oxigenized quarts, which yields some
times half their weight in solid coin.
A man named Lewis, who has been
prospecting lately, left Stockton for
San Francisco with a leg of a pair of
overalls filled with rock, which was
nearly or quite one-half gold. He
made no secret of the fact that he got
it from a ledge near Sonora, and that
it was taken from the surface. He
pounded out S610 with a mortar in a
short time before taking out this rich
rock, Lewis says he has a boslder
worth 81 5000 which he took from his
claim.
