General Trade.

The additions to the feed and pro.
duce list, by steamer from the Ohio
last evening, included 343 bale1 hay;
942 SKIS corn; 450 SKIS bran; 300 bbls
apples, and a round lot of krout. No
potatoes were brought, but the several
hatboat eargoes now here and Offering
with others to Orrive will keep a plen.
tiful supply Of this esculent before the
consuming public. The prevailing
cold snap and threatened suspension
Of navigation above Cairo has stifened
the views Of holders for nearly all
classes Of supplies. Prices, however,
have not materially advanced during
the week, except for potatoes and
apples, which rule from 10 to
Zoe per Dbl higher. The value Of
corn is a shade lower. Cornmeal is
weak. Lard has declined zoo per
cwt, and meats are from to 30 per
ID lower than at the opening of the
week. The heavy supply of chickens
Offering has given consieuees the
blues, aud the low prices they have
been compelled TO accept has in some
cases been very unsatisfactory. Eggs
are plentiful, and the indications
point to a cheaper egg nog for Christ
mas than is usual at this hilarious
season. Several dealers have stock
enough at present to run them a
month.
