General Trade.

OealeIb n6E6 are well bupplieu WIN
corn, and the demand is exceedingly
light. The entire line OF feedstufs is
quiet, with little more than light
local request. Hay has been inactive for
several months, though choice classes
are scant and in request. Shoal water
in the Ohio river has caused a stoppage
of shipments from that direction, and
dealers are looking to other sources for
. supply. A better feeling is noted in
butter, especially for dairy and
creamery, and dealers here yesterday
declined prices which they would have
been glad to accept three days ago. A
better supply of chickens causes some
what lower figures to rule. A good
inquiry prevails for young geese,
chiefly to iatten for use next month
and later on. Eggs are more plentiful
and prices are unsettled, with lower
figures ruling. The meat market is
sitter, in consequence Of an advance
