General Trade.

Meats are declining at all points.
Between the close Saturday evening
and last evening at Chicago mess pork
fell goo per Dbl, lard 25C per cwt, and
bulk meats from 10 to 25c per cwt.
Elsewhere the reduction during the
same time has not been so sharp, but
figures are cheaper. Here the mar
ket is very unsettled and for some
classes it is difficult to give values
with any degree Of accuracy. Receipts
of all kinds continue meager and
traffic is light. The movement in
corn'is scsnt and our market is about
bare except a small quantity in
second hands. Other classes Of
leedstufs exhibit no animation
Flour is quiet and drOOpy, while corn
meal is irregular with a slightly i'm
proved demand. Since the local mills
ceased grinding for lack of corn the
supply has been brought wholly from
the West, and prices here are govern.
ed by values in the upper country
markets. The quoted value at st.
Louis last evening was 81 80 per Dbl,
while at New Orleans it was 81 rs pei
Dbl. The potato shipping traffic has
Stacked to a small point, low prices
causing growers to consider the work
Of digging hardly repaid at the present
low figure Of SOC per Dbl measure.
