General Trade.
There is but little to note of in
terest in the general market, and no
changes looked for until a break
up takes place in the river.
Values indicate but little variation,
and in the leading articles Of con-
sumption eSorts to advance prices
have proven futile. Indeed, most
articles, especially of feed, are either
a shade lower or have an easier ten
dency. This is especially the case
with meal, corn and oats, while pro.
visions are very irregular, with
scarcely two dealers in the city asking
the same price. Poultry continues
scarce, and chickens are particularly
in demand, while eggs maintain the
same figure quoted all of the past
week.
