ST. PAUL, June 20.
Quite a number of Montana men, including
several ranch men from the upper Yellowstone,
were prominent among buyers at the wholesale
houses and supply stores of St. Paul yesterday
The Wholesale grocery houses, especially, turn
ed out immense piles of goods marked for up
per Missouri and Yellowstone dealers. The
ranch men distributed their trade widely and
bought freely. Naturally, st. Paul can take an
immense trade from that country, which is
| fast increasing in trade Importance, and il
| would be we'll for our merchants to take pains
to cultivate good relations with the pioneer
| traders and settlers.
The commission and produce houses of the
city report that the weeks trade has been quite
| good. The receipts of produce are fair, and
| there is no difficulty in disposing OF all that
comes in. Prices were generally steady and
| firm yesterday.
| The fruit trade is again active, with some
scarcity of small fruits, which dealers fear will
| be felt through the season. as the weather has
| been unfavorable. Minnesota strawberries, IN
| excellent condition, were shipped yesterday at
50 per case (l6 quarts and Michigan's at 81 "a
/ per case Peaches sold at 81. so per basket
| and 50 per box of one-third bushel. New ap-
pies sold at $1.25 per box.
Ginseng is coming in slowly, and brings 81
| per pound. Seneca root is coming in freely.
and is bought at SOC pound.

evidently more disposed than at the opening Of
the season to accept such prices as buyers can
afford to pay. Notice of one consignment of
| 30, 900 pounds was received by st. Paul
house yesterday, to arrive tomorrow.
The New York dispatch of last evening says

mission houses and jobbing trade light. Cot
