General Trade.

The meat market continues very
unsettled and declines daily, with
stocks very scant here, and values
have receded from ! to lc per lb on
dry sailed classes during the present
week. A liberal supply Of shelled
corn has arrived here this week, and
much of it is soft and damp, hence it
rules irregular and buyers are
slow to take hold. Ear corn
is the favorite for stock feed at pres
ent, and a few consignments would
find ready purchasers at better prices
than shelled will command. Oats
offer freely and prices are easy. Ban
is quiet, and hay the same. Corn.
meal is weak with little doing, and
there is nothing new in the -four trade
Western potatoes are abundant, and
fat, except early rose, which hold theil
own very well, and: home raised sell
readily at fair prices. Game is com.
lag in more freely, and poultry is
about as heretofore, while Eggs are
scarce and firm.
