The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1876-06-08

confined more closely to regular limits There
has been large outward movement in flour
..u :, at, and quite liberal traffic in corn
o" ~ n Mnl stuff, cattle, butter, etc.
TlLUOR.-There has been fair trade from
nolh local and eastern buyers, but purchasers
insist that the lower price Of wheat shall BE-
counted in the quotations Of -four. Values are
accordingly of about l0c per Dbl, as regards
all speculative grades. "Superlative'' or patent
process flour is held firmly at $500 to 50 20 per
DBL "hat is known as straight xxx, in
the manufacture of which all the middlings are
for car load lots, and $50 for small parcels
Another grade Of NIX is quotabe at IS 90 to
g. %, and still another at s4S5 to $500. Good
brands OF MIX are saleable at 81 90 to S4.4O.
WHEAT.-Shi pments out are large, while
the actual receipts are very moderate. About
$4,000 bushels day are shipped from the up
per elevator, the most of which goes east by
sent to the same destination by rail, via Mil
waukee and Chicago. Little or none of our ST.
Paul elevator wheat is allowed to 60 into eleva-
tors in either Milwaukee or Chicago, but it is
sold on track by sample. The superior quality
OF Minnesota wheat is thus universally recog-
nized
Prices are down in all the markets Here at
St. Paul No. wheat of undoubted glade sold
at 81 90; No. 9 at SO 20 CSC; No. 3 at IS to Csc,
as to condition, &c. No Northwestern hard
is worth s!1O for shipment, and Ills to 81. %
| for seed No. 2, $l.0O to $l.02.
| BEANS.-The market is without special
feature. We continue last weeks quotations S:
Choice white navy beans are worth sl65 to
ST. per busLel, in large and small lots: prime
white hand picked Canadian, $3.50 to 81 &C.
| choice Minnesota, not hand picked, ST %; o.
binary Minnesota, 81 90 to Sl.l5
| PEAS.-There is fair demand for common
| field peas at Sl.35 to Sl.5c per bushel, with
occasional sales Of large lots at 81 %. Marrow
| fats for seed are held at sl.75 to $500.
| BUTTER.-The receipts of new butter have
been only fair during the week The market
is steady, but not exactly trustworthy. SO far as
common and shipping grades are concerned.
| There las been quite strong demand from the
northwest and from Lake Superior for fair to
good qualities, in tirkins, tubs and jars, and
such qualities have sold at Is to l6c. But the
ordinary store packed, bit only for the eastern
market, has not ranged above lac, and from
that price down TO l2 &c.
EGGS.-During tie last week an immense
amount OF eggs has been received, and If the
matter had been lett to theordinary buyers and
retailers, tha price would have gone down to
| l0c per dozen. and have remained there. Egg
| packers last winter made no money, for the
reason that as the weather was mild, the hens
would persist in laying, and eggs were cheap.
The packers arr now buying again, and have
so LIT relieved tue market Oh surplus Sl0ck.
With iarge receipts and fairly active demand
sales are making at II TO II Lee, bat usual Y

aively salted, dry flint or dry sailed. Marke

! mana foi potatoes A car load of peachboas
