General Trade.


Increased weakness is noted in corn,
corn meal, bran and hay, while liberal
arrivals of meats has replenished de.
pleted stocks here, and the tone is in
buyers favor. The liberal receipts of
western hay has depressed the market
and sales are difficult to effect, except
upon concessions that commission men
are unwilling to Accede to- Ear corn
Is fat and unsaleable at any price,
while onions are neglected and lower.
Potatoes maintain values If Of good
quality, and sales are not slow, except
for inferior in irregular packages.
The liberal offerings Of small and
trashy apples has caused a further
weakness, and the only inquiry is for
choice and fancy, Of which the market
is about bare. Ready sale could be
made Of favorite qualities at So 90 to
30 per Dbl on arrival. The value
OF game is lower, and eggs are more
plentiful, aud therefore droopy. Early
yesterday eggs sold readily at 28c per
dozen, but last evening consignees
we're happy to accept 20. The chick
en- market continues heavy, with Of
ferings in excess Of the demand, Flour
is unchanged. Oats are easy, and
other articles are about the same as
last report.
