St. Paul Markets.
ST, PAUL, June 20, 1877.
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.

The weeks business has been quite fair and
in some instances lively. The orders from
the Northwest, includingt the Black Hills, are
particularly large and pressing, while the
trade with Lake Superior is as good as was
anticipated With the exception of butter
very few shipments OF produce have been
made Eastward, or further East than the
numbering districts of Wisconsin.
FLOUR-Although there is no quotable diff
ference from previous prices, holders are
growing weak in their views, and would &C
cent lower figures for large lots. There has
been very movement to the East, on orders,
and also to the Northeast and Lake
Superior We still quote straight" xxx
at SIS COG $50. Patent process is held firm at
| inally s65O@7.O0 per Dbl. Rye flour is
scarcely to be found at all, but is quotable at
| "a. 90 per sack BOlted corn meal is held very
| firmly at 81 .709l.75 per 100 lbs.
WHEAT-But little wheat is arriving, and
| what does come has been, tor the most part,
previously bought at the interior stations.
| All the markets are weak, at the moment and
there is very poor prospect, OF another big
speculation and ''fun for the boys All
crop reports favor the idea of a heavy yield this
wear. and if such is the case it may be pos
sible that the European war, even II continued
untilIneXt year. will not have the great effect
upon prices that has been anticipated. We
still quote No. wheat at 81 .45: No. at 81 40;
| No. at $3.50.
The following are the quotations of No. 2
