PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
Trade in nearly all seasonahle commodities las
been fairly active during the week. IN fact,
we do not remember the spring when bust
ness in produce has more conspicuously dis
dained to await the regular opening--that is.
the resumption Of river navigation than this
spring. 4 very large trade is doing with Mai
1toba, the shipments to that province, as to
the northwest generally, having been already
large, and only awaiting adequate means n. 2. OF
transportation to continue large. The rail-
roads are not able, SO far, to provide sufficient
oars for through business to Red River naviga-
ton to meet as she If ali sorts Of produce
are aw aiting opportunity for shipment to Bis
1narck, Fort Garry and the entire northwest,
considerable portion Of which Is air. ady paid
The trade with the Lake Superior miningre
gions also promises to lie unusually large this
season, in all commodities which Minnesota
can supply better or as well as other producing
states. This trade, as heretofore, centres III
st. Paul.
Altogether, the prospects for an almost un-
limited demand for agrcultral products
throughout the season are first rate and we feel
confident that consignors may dependupon ex-
