General Trade.

The bresdstuff markets are in a state
of depression here and elsewhere
throughout the country, and also
abroad. A review of the British grain
trade for the week Guiding yesterday
says the scarcity Of maize enables
sellers to maintain extreme prices, but
cats and other grains exhibit a decline,
while cargOes aAoat are inactive. Out
Of seventeen cargoes, four were sold,
eight withdrawn, and five are still on
the market. In this country wheat is
unsettled and droopy, -four heavy,
corn and oats weaker, while meats and
lard are quiet, the latter being dull.
Trade has Stacked off to a considerable
degree bore, and the demand for meal,
-four and other essentials is light.
The local mills are doing nothing in
cornmeal manufacture, and are not
likely to start again for several weeks.
