ST. PAUL TRADE.
Weekly ReUte,U Of the st. Paul Markets.
OFFICE OF THE GLOBE,

81. IAULs CeD. IL.
The general movement in mercantile circles
for the week just closed has been comparatively
light, and the volume of transactions in most
of the departments of trade have been little
better than nominal The above, however, is
not applicable to all branches of commerce. as
few representative houses report an improved
business over the week preceding but the ex-
treme dullness is not regarded unfavorably, as
this particular season Of the year is invariably
accompanied by short period of general stag
nation and lethargy.
The outlook for the ensuing spring trade is
regarded as very favorable as indications point
to an exceedingly active season, predicted on
several well-grounded and very logical reasons.
In the first place, the general stocks of country
merchants are reported as being very low, and
in some instances the light winter supplies
have been we'll nigh depleted, which will neces-
state early and large replenishments In the
second place it is expected that immigration to
Minnesota the ensuing year will be greater
than for several seasons past, and it is thought
that the character of the settlers will be such
as to materially contribute to the general pros
perity and we'll being of the State.
The latter reason, it is thought, will more than
counterbalance the st1ingency that would 9TH
erwise prevail among farmers, on account of
the comparative failure of last years wheat
crop.
An active week is reported to have obtained
in the provision market, and with moderate
supplies values have ruled firm. The demand
for hog products has been good, and prices have
ruled firm at the revised quotations. The grain
market has also been active and the good de-
mand readily absorbed the light receipts, while
values continued firm at previous quotations.
The demand for corn, oats, barley, mill stuff,
etc., has been good, while prices have generally
ruled steady, although slight advance is no.
ticeable in the market for oats.
The grocery trade is reported as quite satis-
factory for this season of the year, and bust
ness in this department is considered better
than in any of the other branches of trade.
The movement in dry goods, notions, carpets,
clothing, etc., has been quiet, and dealers are
generally preparing stocks to meet the spring
trade.
The hardware trade has been dull, with but
little change to note since last weeks issue.
The demand for drugs has been good, as the
leading houses report very fair business.
The movement in leather or findings, hides
fur, wool, ETC., has been exceedingly quiet, and
with liberal receipts there is very little doing,
while prices continue to rule steady.

The paper reminds us of the profane boy of
the story in reference to the coon-skins. The
youth, having stated, with many reprehensible
expletives, that the coon pertaining to that
skin was very fat one, was informed that
very fat coons did not yield as good fur,
whereupon he modified his statement by say
ing that though it was a pretty fat coon, it
wasn't so 'by-J-sly G. d. fat, you KNOW"
and the merchant was satisfied. So it was
with the Pioneer Press and the State prison
affair-it was pretty bad, but not SO dash,
dash, dash bad after all.
