OaeneraI Trnde,

The entire list Of consumptives rule
weak, with a downward tendency, ex-
cept -four, which continues steady,
with the demand wholly for the best
grades. Nothing is doing in low
classes. Feedstuffs are all weak and
meats incline toward cheaper prices.
The potato shipping movement shows
increased activity, and by the end of
the week packers will have their
hands full. Prices rule steady at 81
per Dbl measure for choice peerless
and early rose. Other classes are not
wanted. A few Mississippi peaches
arrived yesterday, and sold at 81 per
1d.bushel box. A lot from Georgia a
few days since sold at from 81 % to
81 70 per box. The cabbage shipping
movement is also rather brisk, and
buyers pay from 6 to lOc per head
from wagons. The only demand for
chickens is for we'll grown sizes Of
young. All old stock is slow to sell,
and offer at cheap prices. Eggs are
droopy, and warm weather exercises
an unfavorsble influence on values.
The meat market is droopy, and no
special activity rules in any branch Of
trade.
