MARKET REPORTS
St. Paul Produce Market.
ST. PAUL, March s,

Il LIZ
Business in nearly all departments OF the
wholesale trade may now be described as fairly
active, although the regular spring trade is not
regarded as fully opened. Grocerieslare i'll es-
pecially good demand, at former quotations.
Coffees are very strong and firm, although not
auotably higher, Notwithstanding the recent
advance in New York.
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
The produce market has been quiet during
the most of the last week. Trade is not, as
general thing, pressing, although much is do To-
ing, in moderate way. Quotations are lof
the most part firm and steady.
ELouR-There is nothing new to report as
regards -four. We continue to quote IS W to
6 s. for we'll known xxx brands.
Inferior grades are very quiet and not
auotab.e Just at present. New buckwheat
flour is lower and not very active, selling a.
sack. Corn meal is in fair demand at 81 40 to
| 50 for boted, and 95 to 81 90 for unholted-
Dat meal is selling at 50 rs to 4 90 for 100 ID
packages.
Buyers intend to hold until the opening Of
navigation in the spring, ard hope then to send
forward their stock az low rates of freight ana
sell at q fair profit. The elevator charges tor
all the season encourage this plan, and are
much more favorable than the tariff OF the
Milwaukee. and Chicago Warehousemen. we
