ST. PAUL. Aug. 6.
1t scarcely be said that market has existed at
this point for grain the past week. SO little has been
done in OATS wheat and corn. The little wheat arrv-
ing by road has been readily bought by the mlers at
BLOB. One load of new wheat was brought to market
on Monday, and considerable interest was manifest
| among dealers, but upon inspection it found to
BIO very inferior in every respect. The berry
SMALL shriveed, light and soft, and would grade re-
jected.' 1t failed to meet with purchaser, and
stored. In this connection it well to say that farm
this season apt to thresh too earlybefore the
berry is thoroughly seasoned and dry, and danger
lists of its sweating and heating. Farmers should
also bear in mind when sending old wheat to market
that they will need seed, and the very best of this
seasons crop cannot be better than the old In fact
there will be little wheat in the southern and south
part of the State that can in any way compare
with the old crop for seeding purposes.
There is change either in oats; there is
no demand for the and but little for the other.
Barley has made rapid strides upwards during the
week. This is owing to the deficiency of the new
crop and the general nferiority Of color. No. is in
demand at S1.25@150 and good bright No. at 100.
Butter continues to have brighter outlook, and
gives encouragement to shippers. The higher grades
are worth cent more than last weeks quotations
Adyices from the East still continue encouraging, and
consignments generally sell on arrival.
| No improvement in eggs, which sell at any price
from &c to 10c, according to condition.
There is no market for mil-stuffs; supply and de-
mand are both light, and quotations are unchanged.
There has been considerable advance in mess pork
and cured meats, with indications Of still higher
| figures.
| Business at the stock yards has remained quiet
There have been no sales of Importance to record,
the only business done being confined to local butch
ers, with the exception of two small lots purchased
from Duluth and Fargo. Prices remain quoted
last week. Good steers 3l4G13Ac; good mixed cattle
&c; rough cattle 21s0I22lc.
The wholesale mercantile houses are mostly busily
employed in making preparations for the fall trade,
which they the better able to do by business be-
coming more quiet. The hardware men have at
length breathing spell, the great and protracted
being at length over. Prices unchanged, except
in nails, which do not seem even yet to have found
the bottom.
Groceries are in all classes active. There is slight
advance on best grades of coffee; teas steady;
sugars firm; canned peaches higher. In the matter
of sugars it should be stated that Minnesota bids fair
to rival the South in the excellence of its native
sugars. To-day we saw some samples of raw sugar
| made from the Golden amber equal in grain,
color and flavor to any raw sugar brought to this
point
Dry goods houses are receiving their stocks from
the Eastern markets daily. Most Of the houses are
buying largely in wooens, heavy cotton goods, tick
buyers report firmer market with higher figures
and prospect of an advance in all staple articles
full lines in large quantities before the rise in prices
and they propose giving their customers the adyan.
tage of their favorable purchases.
There will be found in referring to the tables CON
siderable change in quotations of boots and shoes
The factories here have been and still are busy pro-
ducing, and Messrs. Gotzian l. Co., since the en-.
largement of their extensive premises and factories
have been accommodating stock second to none in
the country.
There are no changes in drugs. Lard oils have adj
yanced Sperm and other oils are firm at old quota
tons.
