General Trade.

circles, but traffic is mainly for feed
and breadstufs, while meat is in
equally brisk request. The egg mar
ket iuclines downward, receipts being
liberal and more than equal to the
demand. Chickens are moving along
quietly, old stock growing in less
favor daily, while young are in de-
mand. But little movement is re-
ported for other classes Of poultry.

slightly easier tone, though no docline
of quotations is announced. Meats
