GENERAL Trnda.

But little activity prevails In any
branch of trade this week, and not
much improvement is looked for until
after the yearly settlements are made.
The feed market is especially dull aud
under the influence Of heavy receipts,
corn is weak. Over thirty car loads
came in during the past few days,
aud the tone layors buyers, while sales
are difficult to effect. Oats are steady,
with little demand and none in first
hands. Hay exhibits no animation
the receipts being fully equal to the
demand, and bran moves in a very
small way, The supply Of table pota-
toes is large and values arc unchanged
while seed varieties are in very lin
tied offering, aud prices arc looking
up. Game is abundant and cheap,
Poultry Of inferior quality is exceed
ingly dull and slow to dispose of, but
good fat chickens command fair prices
and meet ready takers. Turkeys, both
dressed and ieathcred, are in demand
at good figures. Eggs are plentiful
and droopy. Meats incline downward.
Flour is wholly UNCHANGED, aud corn
meal is dull and lower.
