General Trade.

The iobbing trade has exhibited fail
animation this week, the pleasant
weather of the past three days enabling
planters and others to come into the
city in liberal numbers. Cotton loaded
wagons arrive by every road, many
from a distance OF thirty miles and
more, and this feature is an important
one to our trade interests at the pres
ent time. The meat market is some
what steadier, the advance in dry
salts since the close Of last week rang
ing from 10 to l5c per cwt., while lard
is 25 to 400 per cwt. higher. There is
but little variation in bread or feed
stuffs, Eggs are steady, while chick
ems continue in over supply aud are
very slow to sell.
