General Trade.

The receipts of corn for some days
past has been very limited, and the
inquiry, especially for grinding uses,
is good at improved values. Meats
continue in an advancing and irregular
condition, while quotations vary with
almost every dealer to accord with the
particular market from whence his
supplies are purchased, and the guam
tity he may have on hand. The bread
and feedstuff markets exhibit no new
features, and nothing of interest is
noted in sugar, molasses, rice or other
Southern productions.
