HeneraI Trade,

Business is slack in all of its
branches, especially SO even for this
dull season of the year, and in the en-
tire line Of supplies the movement is
limited, while prices are droopy and
tending toward cheaper figures. Bread
aud feedstuffs with meats are all de-
eliuing, and wheat had another bad
break in Chicago on yesterday. In
new potatoes the movement is less
active than il was during the early
part of last week, and growers as we'll
as shippers appear more Indifferent
daily. Prices continue droopy, and
wagon loads Of the best quality will
not command above 81 10 per Dbl
measure. Eggs are in slightly better
feeling, and chickens sell fairly we'll
if of desirable size and order. In
sugar, coffee and rice 10 change what,
ever has occurred for ten days past.
