General Trade.

The Hour market is In an unsettled
state, and here there is no demand
whatever for low classes. The better
grades move quite freely, and values
are from Zoe to 81 per Dbl higher than
they were two months ago. The
stocks here are ample. Cornmeal is
dull, and millers' prices for drayloads
range from 81 60 to 50 65 per Dbl,
The grain market is essentially un-
changed, the tendency being droopy
and the movement but little more than
local. Meats are weak and continue
to incline downward, as they have
done straight along for month past.
The light cOnsumptive demand
throughout the South is a
leading cause of depression.
Local potato shippers are working
with activity, and by another week all
will be busy. Prices are steady and
have not varied for week, except
perhaps, to stiffeA little. The high.
est estimate of this years yield of
Shelby county yet calculated by those
best prepared to make estimates is
10000 bbls. Cabbage shippers are
not paying as high for loose cabbage
as they did week ago, and the same
may be said of apples. The receipts
of the latter have so far, however,
been mainly poor and trashy. Choice
would command ready sale at good
figures.
