General Trade.

Trade circles have been unmarked
by noteworthy features during the
past week, except that of decreased
animation. This is especially the
case with round lot sales, and while
the jobbiDg movement is not overly
active, yet q fair business has been
transacted. Flour is quoted firm, with
stock running low, though still sufi-
cient for the demand. Cornmeal and
corn are both very fat and inactive,
and prices are lower in this market,
though 30 above last week north Of the
Ohio river. Oats have been scarce
and are 2 to 30 per bushel above last
weeks prices, and bran is finn at
somewhat improved figures. Hay is
plentiful and dull. Meats lave ad-
vaneed saic per ID during the week,
and lard is up 10 per ID. Whisky,
coffee, sugar, neal and rice are wholly
unchanged from last weeks quota
tions. The price Of cotton seed has
been reduced 81 per ton, and after to-
day the mills here will pay but $40 per
ton. Receipts have been liberal OF
corn and hay, while oats, ban and
other feed, togett er with -four and
meal, have arrived in sparse consign-
ments. The potato market is brisk
aud dealers are laying an advance
over prices noted a week ago. Apples
are rather slow to sell. An improve.
ment is noted for poultry and game.
