The storm and the bad roads consequent up.
on it have had their effect On transactions to a
certain extent, but not more % than was ex-
pected. On the whole business has been ia
verable. but rather more in the interest of
shippers into st. Paul than of home dealers
The general trade of the city is unprecedent-
ly prosperous for this time of the year. Col
lections are good. easily got and not dependent
on the Intervention OF agencies. The bank
business of the week will compare fsvorably
with the last week in any year known to the
history of St. Paul. Loans are easy On good
paper, duQ e4CuSuSo IatSS a. u5u8ls tdFl2-
tions in prices are confined mainly to drugs,
druggists's sundriss, groceries, and country
produce. In the latter We note an advance in
beans and butter, for choice, and fall in
poorer grades. Ducks and geese are higher,
but dressed turkeys and chickens are easy at
last quotations. The increased GOODNESS of the
weather will probably cause heavier move
ment, and may, - perhaps, enhance prices
a little, bat this ia hardly probable,
as it depends entirely on the
demand, which is not likely to be great this
year.
Jobbers are Obliged to pay an increased price
for potatoes, they now ranging from 40 to Is
cents, Wholesale.
Wool is stronger and tride higher in East
ern markets. which produces ar upward ten
dency here, with a confidence among holders
which argues favorab!y for profitable trans
actions in the future
There are no changes in he common lines of
hard ware. Business is excellent and colec-
tions fair
Hides are steady and quite firm az former
quotations, the tendency being upward among
jobbers who are able to hold for an advance.
smaller dealers can probably realize as well
now as later in the season.
Dry goods are firm in all lines, tending ND
ward, but with no quotable variation from
former prices as previously quoted in the
GLOBE.
In the grocery trade canned goods have de-
preciated somewhat. Fish are up considerably
Salmon also takes lift. In cordage 6-thread
Sisal and 6-thread Manila 60 up good bit.
Millinery and fancy goods show a good
trade aud firmer tendency in prices, though
no quotable changes have been reached.
Drugs aud druggists sundries prove up
trade for the first of the present mouth far
ahead of the early part of October. The va
riations IN prices are generally upward, and
there is no present prospect of any easier quo
tations.
Leather and findrigs are strong in eastern
markets, and although no advance has been
made here, slight appreciation in prices may
be looked for any day.
The boot and shoe trade is the best ever
known in the city, and all goods in that line
are on the upward move. Country dealers
who have their stocks in hand for the winter
are in luck.
Flour grows sitter in holdings, and country
dealers are anxious to buy small lots for home
trade. Quotations stand as formerly however
but the probability is that before another
weekly review the GLOBE will have to record
an increase in price On the better grades.
Fruits chow NO change worth speaking of
and quote as last week.
