ST. PAUL. Dec. rs, 1854.
There being no improvement in the weather
and the roads yet being in bad condition
the receipts of grain and other produce has
been quite light Wheat still remains firm at
fifty cents. Corn and oats as quoted be-
low.
Small lots OF pork continue to come in and
bring from $3.50 to $2,75. We heard of one
lot very heavy bringing $500, on Monday.
Since our last weeks issue, there has been
another advance of four cents on gun DOW.
