General Trade,

Il
The state of traffic in the local
market is very quiet, and the volume
light For coffee, sugar, whisky, mo-
lasscs and rice no change whatever in
value has occurred for considerable
period. An effort to advance rice in
the Atlantic coast markets proved q
failure, and this cereal is without
animation. Bacon has advanced ! to
4c per lb within the past three days,
and the stocks here continue light,
though fair additions have been made
this week. Bulk shoulders and sides
are to higher, and lard l5c per cwt
higher than on Saturday last. The
movement in lard here is light, and
the bulk meat trade is Stacking off,
while that Of smoked meats increases.
Wheat has advanced Sc per bu in the
West since Saturday, and -four is
firm in this and other Southern mar
kets. Corn is l to 70 per bushel
lower, while oats is easy and hay fat,
with little demand for any class. Corn
meal is devoid Of interest here, though
prices have advanced 300 per Dbl at
New Orleans within the past three
days aud SOC per Dbl within ten days.
The spring chicken trade here is in
creasing and the little chirpers arriv.
ing sell at from So to 81 per doz. The
eeg trade is again unsettled, and
dealers report a dull market at 15c
per doz, while. at lie the demand is
not large, The feeling is in favor Of
lower prices. .s. &.
