The Norristown Herald says:
Hens are now laying eggs thai cost
forty-tive and ifty cents a dozen. aud
this Is the strongest argument for free
trade that can be produced. Abolish
our protective tariff. and bring the
work Of foreign hens Ia competition
with our own fowls. aud eggs would
90 down 10 fifteen cents a dozen, if
not lower. Perhaps a tariff for reve-
nue. only would have been the correct
thing, after all.

General Trade.

Signs indicate a general Stacking off
in trade, though in some branches it
is still quite brisk. The produce
market is getting dull, early garden
vegetables taking the place of much
in this line. In feed a liberal traffic
prevails. Over 1000 bales of hay have
come into market during the present
week, all finding quick buyers at top
prices. An easier feeling is noted for
corn; a barge load now under way and
expected from above, together with
1000 SKIS which have arrived during
the past four days, has stocked deal
ers until they are no longer anxious.
The jobbing demand continues brisk.
A good traffic is also ruling for bran,
which is steady. The market for po-
tatoes is firm, with scant arrivals. A
carload of peachblows sold at 50 IS,
and dealers ask So. No sweets arc
coming in, and the stock is exhausted.
A heavy lot of Kentucky rhubard is
offering, and at nominal prices. The
butter market exhibits increased signs
Of weakness. A few young chickens
are coming in, and find ready buyers
at full prices. Eggs are firm and not
plentiful.
