GenernI Trnde.

The first snow storm Of the season
last night, the closing days of the
month, and weakness in bread and
feedstuffs, also in cotton and coffee,
and the droopy state Of the meat
market, all contribute toward render
ing the business aituation very quiet
to-day. A better feeling prevails for
poultry, eggs and game, partially due
to the cold turn in the weather, and in
part to the increased demand for
Thanksgiving feasts to morrow. In
the West corr has advanced 20 per
bushel this week, and the free move
ment Of this cereal from Madrid
Bend to St. Louis and other points is
mainly attributed to the demand for
the fulallment of November contracts,
the corn from that section being
ripper aud better adapted for shipment
than the new crop farther north, has
been largely purchased to satisfy the
deliveries alluded to. 1t is not ex
pected that the movement from
Madrid Bend northward will continue
beyond the present week A decline
Of SOC per Dbl on mess pork and 10 per
ID on dry sailed ribs has OCCURRED
within the past three days, and the
tone indicates a farther reduction.
