General Trade.

An improved movement is observed
in oats of the new crop, also in corn
and cornmeal, while new prairie hay
has begun to arrive. The local meal
mills are doing fair work, but prices
tend downward. Hay is very dull
except for strictly choice, ard in fair
inquiry. All peOr classes are unset
tied and sales of medium are slow to
effect. The receipts of oats within
the past six days exceed
1000 SKIS, large share being
of the new crop, and the market is
dull, with sales slow. Something
over 1000 SKIS of corn have arrived dur.
ing the past three days, but the offer,
ings have been mainly in bulk, and
shelled in sacks is scarce. The meat
market is easy at all points. At Chi
cago values for goods on the spot are
10 to 25c down for mess pork since
Saturday last, Sc off on lard, and l0c
lower on r s; other articles of meat
being unchanged. At Cincinnati lard
has declined l0c per cwt. and meats
from ! to to per ID within the last
three days. Here the tone is quiet,
with only a moderate demand, aud the
tone is in buyers favor.
