General Trade.

The tone of meats is easier, while -four
is unchanged. Oornmeal is firm, and
corn rules strong with scant receipts
and offerings. Sales of bran are re-
ported at SIT 60 per ton, and to
arrive at lower prices. Hay continues
fat and unstable, except for strictly
choice Western, none Of which is
coming here. Some movement pre-
walls in vegetables, and old potatoes
are scarce and tending up with no
arrivals and few in the market. In
poultry demand rules at good figures
for desirable chickens, but an over
supply Of very small young offers, and
sales are at 81 5Oal Is per doz.
In eggs the ruling figures are
14a15c, with dropy tone.
