MARKET REPoRTS+
St, Paul Produce Market.

ST. PAUL, Jan. ~, 1870
For the past four or five days business has
not been so active as formerly. Exactly how
much the increase OF business has been it is vet
impossible to estimate but it must have been
considerable. If any assurance were needed
OF the prosperity Of. the produce trade IN st.
Paul, it is furnished by the steady increase of
the number of commission firms, or the dlvls-
ion OF old houses into two or more new hrms.
FLoUR-There is nothing new to report as
regards flour. We continue to quote 30 W to
5 IS for we'll known XAXA brands.
Inferior grades are very quiet and not
quotabie just at present. New buckwheat
-four is lower and not very active, selling at
Sc % to 6 80 per Dbl, or So 80 to 8 IS per
sack Corn meal is in fair demand at 81 90 to
l 60 for boited and 50 to 81 90 for unbolted.
Dat meal is selling at So IS to 90 tor 100 10
packages.
WHEAT-Receipts continue active, and the
new elevator is about half full. At the close
of business OH the 4th inst, there were about
Ole, 900 bushels of wheat in store in the upper
elevator, and about 65, 600 in the lower.
BUYERS intend to hold until the opening OF
navigation IN the spring, ard hope then to SEND
forward their stock at low rates Ct freight and
sell at q fair profit The elevator charges for
all the season encourage this plan, and are
much more favorable than the tariff of the
Milwaukee, and Chicago warehousemen. We
quote 95c for St. Paul extra; Soc for NO. !; sue
tor No @ 10 to 75c for No 3; Gu to65c Tor re-
iected.
