General Trade.

The meat market is again democrat,
lied, Alter two or three days Of
stiffness, it went off sharply on yester-
day in upper country markets, and
those who felt good over a probable
advance are all broke up. Prices here
have not changed, however. The re-
ceipts here have been very light for
several weeks past, and but few mer-
chants have heavy stocks. Those,
however, we'll supplied are very will
ing to accept lower figures than they
would have listened to two or three
days ago, Tle breadstuff and feed
market exhibit no new features. The
supply Of corn is in excess of the de.
mand, while oats, bran and hay are
abundant for all requisite purposes.
The chicken market is in rather
disturbed condition. Some dealers
report one way and some another, but
the demand for desirable classes il
about equal to the supply. Eggs have
been scarce and stiff for several days
and arrivals yesterday and to .day
found ready takers at II to 1sc pei
doz. The hide market is very quiet
and few are coming in at present.
