ST. PAUL, Dec. 10, 1851.
In consequence of having no shedding. and
the wheeling not very good, the receipts of
grain have not been very large for the last few
days. The late news from England caused a
decline of two cents on wheat in this market,
The price paid yesterday by all the leading
buyers was so cents for prime. The decline at
Hastings and Red Wing, on receiving the late
news, was ten cents from former prices. the
price current being 40@45 cents in both these
markets.
The grocery dealers were somewhat fright.
ened on account of the news, and a portion of
them advanced fraction on tea, sugar and
coffee, but dropped down to former quotations
yesterday.
In gunpowder there is an advance of two
cents on the pound.
Potatoes for retail are quite scarce in the
market, and bring Is and 30 cents readily,
