General Trade.

Inc supply markets OF the West
exhibit increased strength in cut
meats, and an advance of bc per lb is
reported in clear ribs, both dry sailed,
and smoked, with no change in other
qualities. Lard is strong, but no
higher. In this market a frmer tone
rules in meats, in some classes of feed
stufs and cornmeal. TIE latter is in
demand both to satisfy an increased
local request and to ell orders for
neighboring markets. Business gen.
orally has been much restricted by
light neceipts and inclement weather.
As the skies have cleared off it is be-
lieved that increased briskness is close
at hand.
