ter than on the previous day. No

for the past three weeks, quotations
being as follows; Low ordinary, Sic /;

General Trade.

The brisk demand for plantation
supplies is giving our local mills all
they can do to keep up with their
orders for cornmeal, and dray
load lots are quoted stiff at
$500 per Dbl. Arrivals here by
river yesterday we're 700 bbls. AT
New Orleans the demand for meal is
also in excess Of the supply, and prices
there are quoted at $4.65 per Dbl.
Over 300 SKIS of corn arrived here yes
terday, and ready market is reported
for all receipts. Some 1000 bbls pota-
toes, chiefly 'peachblOws, ex steamer
Parker, we're on the market yesterday,
and their value is rather droopy with
gradually decreasing demand. Hold.
ers are stiff on all classes Of seed
potatoes, and an active retail move
ment is expected to set in very soon
There is fair demand for -four, with
ample stocks In the hands of first

Financial affairs abroad continue to
excite attention in business and mon
etary circles. The cable reports that
S46O'OOO in bullion was yesterday with
drawn from the Bank Of England for
Paris, where the stock market is in q
very depressed state. The assets o
the suspended Unione Generate of the
latter city are evidently in bad con-
,dition, a shortage of more than $780,
100000 having been discovered be-
tween the actual amount on hand and
that published sometime ago by its
managers. The latter reported their
surplus at 81 100000 francs or So.
100000, when they were really sc, OOO,-
OOO francs or close to S1O,OOO,OO0 the
other way. The suspension is directly
charged to the failure of the institu-
ton to receive 100000 francs from
England upon which reliance was
made. The cable reports from Berlin
and Vienna were not threatening last
evening. Paris seems to be more dis
turbed than any other European
financial center.
The public debt statement Of this
country to be promulgated to-day is
expected to show a decrease during
the last month of 100000. Gov
eminent bonds closed lower last even
ing in New York, the 4s closing at
ll73, decline of &c during the day;
