General Trade,

worthy Of especial comment have oe-
CURED. A slight speculative feeling
prevails in corn, and several car loads
have been taken within a few days
past at SIC for white in new gunnies
just because the buyer thought it was
cheap at the price, but the demand is
limited and the supply is more than
equal to it. A few car loads have
been purchased for the new corn meal
mill on Poplar street, which is to com.
mence grinding next week. An in
creased demand prevails for -four, and
prices are steady. Meats rule unset
tied and generally in favor of buyers
and consumers. The demand is linz
tied and less than one,fourth in vol
ume as compared with this time last
year. The chicken tradeis quiet with
choice il fair demand, while stale or
Inferior are slow to sell. Eggs rule
steady.
