MARKET REPORTS
St. Paul Produce Market t. .

In all the leading departments of the whole
sale trade business has been universally active
during the past week The spring trade is
coming with rush, as it had right to do,
interior dealers being in excellent credit, and,
after long period OF depression and distrust,
short of goods. The leading dry goods jobbing
house of the city reports its sales, so far in this
month, fully Is per mt in advance OF last April
Perhaps this large increase OF trade Will hold |
good in the general aggregate OF the wholesale |
trade. BUTT is an indication by which to judge
of the very active business which this spring |
witnesses.
PRoDrcE AND PROVISIONS.
The produce commission business has ruled
fairly active throughout the week, and the
opening of river navigation HIS lent an addi-
tional impulse. The arrivals by river Of grain,
and other commodities entering into the cur
rent trade Of produce dealers, are already lib
eral. and promise to be all that can be desired.
The Lake Superior and Northern Pacific Rail
roads are daily taking out heavy shipments 10
the Northwest and Manitoba, while the gener-
al trade with all the region tributary 70 St. Paul,
ard particularly with the Wisconsin lumber
regions and Western Wisconsin, is active and
satisfactory. An unusually large trade With
the Lake Superior mining regions, as well as
with all the communities LIVING Oh lne grea,
unsettled sea- is 50 confidently anticipated
that several dealers are a:rea-y preparing 1of
AS general thing The price Of commodities,
during the week under review, have been
firmly maintained. The principal exception
to this rule is the decline III the price OF eggs.

Buyers intend to hold until the opening of
navigation in the spring, ard hope then to send

all the season encourage this plan, and are
much more favorable than the tariff Of the
