MARKET REPORTS
ST, Paul Produce Market.

Sr. PArL, MAY 10, 1876
The wholesale trade continues brisk in all
the various departments. Prices of all the
leading commodities are unusually steady,
r. duction OF Il in the quotations OF al! kinds
or sugars being the most i'm portant fuctuation
noticeable. Linseed and lard oils are lower, as
isalso white lead, the reduction in the price of
the latter being, however, but trifing. Win
dow glass is advanced 2 I-2 per cent. The
general tendency Of price Of drugs appears to
be toward slightly lower figures. Hardware,
iron. leather, dry goods. boots and shoes, &C.
are without material change in price.
Considerable complaint is made ofthe back
wardness Of colections-a feature not unusual
at all seasons when farmers are too busy with
press ny work to be able to attend to the mar
keting OF produce and the payment Of store
bills. The small lemittances from the country
occasion no particular inconvenience how
ever, as the banks are fully able an perfectly
willing to supply all deficiencies which trade
experiences at per cent per month.
PRODUCE AND PROVISION.
The demand for most commodities is fairly
active and as rule prices are firm and steady.
Outward shipments continue to be large IL all
directions except south by steamboat. Foru-
eiiy there have been extensive shipments Of
potatoes tothe banightpd regions below: but
this year it appears that these formerly be-
nighted regions do not want our potatoes, hay
ing Il Sufficient quantity of their own. Pork.
eggs, butter, oats, corn, &c. are being shipped
ont n large quantities
