i. General Trade.
But few lines of traffic have expe-
rienCed briskness during the week
ending to-day. The closing Of river
navigation below st. Louis has,
therefore, exercised but little influence
on prices, as an ample supply Of grain
and produce has been coming from the
Ohio valley, that river continuing I'M
Obstruoted by ice or other impedi
ments. Free shipments Of corn have
been moving out of the Madrid bend
country toward Of this, and the markets
further south, and a boat load came
from PemiscOt county, Mo-, a couple
Of days since. The latter is now offer.
ing on the market A shipment Of
800 sacks, nearly 1000 bushels, Of good
shelled corn arrived from White river
by the steamer Josie Harry yesterday,
anditis said that a considerable volume
is to follow, as a large surplus Of this
cereal was grown in the White river
valley the past season, aud mnch of it
is about to DO sent to this and other
markets for sale. Another feature of
interest is the receipt by same boat
and fromsamo valley ofover a hundred
fat hogs Of an average weight of 200
pounds or over. A part of the lot
came dressed, while the rest
are on foot, and are in splendid
order. The people Of our neighboring
State had good crops last season, and
are now sending off their surplus of
meat and grain. The offerings ofcorn
at present are liberal and prices rule
easy, good shelied selling in lots on
