General Trade.

a better feeling prevails in this
market for corn, which is scarce, and
the stock in first hands is reduced to
a few hundred sacks. Oats are firm,
with no scarcity Of stock. Hay shows
improvement and bran is stiff. Pota
toes have arrived freely, but sales
were equally free, and no stock re
mains in first hands, while prices are
better. Apples are quiet with fair
demand for sound stock, and at good
figures. Corn is quiet and unchanged;
cornmenl is weak; meats droopy and
butter is quiet, with Q limited move
ment. Poultry dealers report the live
chicken trade fat and depressed, owing
TO free arrivals Of dressed stock, and
the only kind meeting demand is full
grown and fat hens; other classes are
almost unsaleabls. Eggs are irregular
and game is in demand at full prices,
