General Trade.

The arrival of a 10000 bushel cargo
Of white corn in bulk for millers' use
this morning, replenishes the short
supply and places an ample stock on
the market for grinding purposes. The
demand for meal is Stacking off and
prices incline downward. The same
may be said of corn, while all
classes of feedstuffs are easier, in
consequence of decreasing demand,
and the ripening Of oats and wheat,
both being now largely in use for
stock feed. Flour is in moderate
movement, with prices easy and no
confidence in the future Of the market.
Meats are firm and continue tU tend
toward higher prices. Potato shippers
are less active this week, in conse-
quence of lighter receipts, caused by
recent rains soaking the ground too
much to admit Of digging. Increased
receipts are expected after to day.
There is little change in other items
of traffic.
