General Trade.

The general market rules about as
at last report, except for cornmeal,
which has advanced. owing to its
scarcity and the inability of locaI
millers to supply the demand, the
same shO ling no falling off. For the
past three months our mills have been
running day and night, and the indi-
cations point to continued inactivity
until the CORE and cotton crops are
laid by. Meats are firm, but no
higher. Flour, corn and feedstuffs
generally aregeasy, but exhibit no de.
cline from last weeks figures. Our
local potato and!apple raisers are busy
ing themselves bringing in their pro.
auctions, and prices rule high, with an
active demandS1for all arrivals. The
markets Of the Northwest are ready
takers Of 'all, that can be forwarded,
and remunerative.return are expected
to rule until the close of the shipping
season.
