General Trade,

4he euClTe llue OF IeeuStutI5 IS IN
buyers favor. Corn under the influence
of free arrivals is weak and slow while
the demand is only moderate; oats are
weak for all classes, though good sound
qualities are s3arce. A considerable
portion Of recent receipts Of the new
crop are musty and inferior. Bran is
unchanged with fair inquiry; hay is
wholly unchanged, and has not varied
in many weeks. Choice western is
scarce end in demand, and would sell
readily at sis to II per ton, new
southern prairie is dull and irregular
at from So to 6 so per ton, as per quail
ity. The condition Of the new crop is
peculiar thisISeasou. Some OF it is as
fine as has ever been known, while
other shipments are too poor for any
use. The old stock Of chickens has
been well worked of, and fresh arriv-
ais are meeting freer buyers. Egg,
are firm and sell readily at from Is to
l7c per dozen.
