The veterans of the Mexican war are
again pressing their claims for pensions
in vigorous way upon the attentions
of Congress; and at meeting held
aere Saturday evening, the estimate of
the number Of the survivors furnished
Congress last session, with this end in
view or to defeat it, perhaps, by the
Commissioner Of Pensions, was dissect-
ed and made to appear in a very ridic-
ulous light and in a manner very dis.
creditable to the Judgment, at least, of
the Comm issioner.
Mr.. Schurz refused to pay the ex-
penses Of the Fox delegation of Chiefs
recently arrived here without invita-
ton, on the ground that they had left
their reservation without permission.
Judging from the treatment accorded
those preceding them, they would have
been better off by just the cost of the
visit, had they remained at home.
The weather is seasonaJly cold and the
windows of the shops already have a
holiday appearance. Troops of child.
rem, happy in anticipation, canvass the
merits of the rivals for trade, while
crowds of gaily dressed females spend
money literally, regardless of "hard
times"

ST. PAUL, August %, 1877
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
There has been 10 general increase in the |
volume of trade during the past week and the |
market may still be considered dull and I'M
as regards most commodities.
Butter is especially in the dumps, with no
signs of recovery. The trade in grain has
been quiet, but will soon be brisk again.
Some shipments OF mixed produce including
flour, butter, cheese, corn, oats, &c, are max
ing to the northwest, as also to the Lake Su-
peror mining regions. but the aggregate is
comparatively light. The low water in the
Mississippi, and the consequent difficulties OF
navigation, have to some extent affected trade
unfavOrably. The changes in quotations OF
produce will be found to have been frequent,
and almost in every instance in the direction
of lower prices.
FLOUR-The clamor Of eastern buyers on
orders for lower figures of flour have been
quite as great and more persistent even than
the local movement started by the St. Paul
Chamber of Commerce. Nothing would have
had much effect if the value of wheat had not
steadily declined, with the prospect OF the
value remaining comparatively low. Large
orders from the east has been filled at $500
for good straight XAAA flour, OF country
manufacture, and the price to retailers, in lots
as wanted, is Sc. 2506. 80, the latter figure be-
brands Patent process -four is held at 5000
900 u Dbl, decline of 5O9s1 90. Inferior
qualities are in light inquiry and prices range
from 50 90 to s3.75 for Xxx and XXX. Bolted
corn meal is held at 81 301l 40 o. 100 lbs.
| Rye flour is nominal, the market being bare
of stock.
WHEAT-Arrivals of new wheat have be-
gun, notwithstanding the activity of farmers
in the harvest fields, and the quality is uni
formly first rate No wheat OF the second,
or No. 2 quality has yet been offered, and
buyers are becoming to be of the opinion that
the larger part OF our splendid cropwill grade
No |, and average 61062 lbs to the measured
bushel. In spite of the hot and dry weather
which has prevailed so long, the fears OF gooc
Judges that the cropwill befound to be con
sderably shrunken and reduced in quality
, appear to have been uufounded. Prices ar
declining, in view of the immense yiel'
throughout the wheatgrowing regions in thi
country. AS the crop everywh here is immens
: buyers are anticipating that the cost of trans
f portaton to the seaboard will be increased
and hence are dubious about operating, eXcel
at low figures. Buyers at the elevators al
