General Trade.

The tone of the cereal market here
is easier, especially for corn aud oats
seed qualities of the latter being in
plentiful offering with the demand
light. The supply Of corn is abuud
ant and dealers have we'll filed stocks
while sellers, to effect trades, must
make concessions. The demand fol-
cornmeal continues brisk, mainly for
shipment to points farther South.
Flour is in heavy supply and dealers
are well provided with stock, hence
jsbbing lots are slow, while the retail
demand is steady at prices unchanged.
Meats rule firm with the supply scant.
Eggs sve weak and incline toward
lower figures, the ONLY stimulating
influence being the recent demand for
Northern shipment. AS many as
eighteen or twenty thousand dozen
have been sent away inside Of the last
three weeks. The movement In pOul-
try is Stacking of, though prices are
veil sustained and game rales quiet
and unahsnged.~
