Trade and weather dampen seasonal market activity

General trade remains dull as the season weakens with buyers delaying supply and few orders. Dry goods show slight activity but margins are small while food products lack excitement and stockpiles grow. Abroad demand is light despite large foreign output, pushing American farmer profits down and prompting crop shifts. Provisions stay in good demand with firm prices. Produce holds steady with cheese strengthening, wool quiet, and cotton easing.
