General Trade.

The value of meats rules steady,
with the local supply short, and pros
poets indicate no early decline. In
the Northwest contracts for hogs, to
be delivered in November at the pack
cries, have been made at 81 to 81 so
per cwt, and should such figures hold,
cheaper, meats can hardly be expected
before midwinter. Flour prices con-
tinue to be sustained, though the tone
Of wheat continues downward. Corn
meal is easy, with little demand. Corn
is very quiet, and tends downward,
while oats and hay are cheaper. Bran
has been holding up rather steadily,
with free arrivals from Middle Ten
nessee. Liberal receipts Of hay have
caused buyers to be shy, and ION
Signees have been compelled to store
several lots. The free arrival of eggs
from Nashville has broken prices, and
quotations are reduced.
