81. Paul Produce Market.
ST. PAuL. March %. 1871


A very moderate amount of business in pro-
duce has been transacted during the past week:
It is dull season of the year at the best, and
the annual dulnesS has been aggravated Dy
four days heavy wind and snow storm, which
prevented locomotion in the interior, to very
considerable extent, and also made ransporta-
ton uncertain, as we'll as rendering shipments
difficult During the prevalence Of the storm,
which extended over the entire state, business
was at a practical stand stili and since tar
weather has recommended, it has not proved
particularly active. As q consequence there
have not been many important changes OF val
ues Of commodities to be noticed;yet there are a
few that will prove OF interest to county dealers
in produce, as we'll as to BUYERS.
FLouR-There is nothing new to report as
regards flour. We continue to quote S. 90 to
5 IS for we'll known xxx brands.
Inferior grades are very quiet and not
quotabie just at present. New buckwheat

sack. Corn meal is in fair demand at 81 4O to
l 80 for boited, and IS to 81 90 for unbolted
Dat meal is selling at s. IS to 90 tor 100 10
packages.
Buyers intend to hold until the opening Of
navigation in the spring, ard hope then to send
forward their stocka low rates i freight and
sell at a fair profit The elevator charges for
ali the season encourage this plan, and are
much more favorable than the tariff Of the
