ST. Paul. May %,

The week closed yesterday with an &C.
tive business day in ST. Paul but without change
of value in any of the leading trade commodities
| of the season. The cessation of milling de-
mand continues, and wheat is worth only 95c
on our Streets but receipts are small and will
continue SO until better prices prevail or farm
ers are convinced that the ruling rate is
the best they can hope for. The leading mil
lers are drawing from their stocks in store and
are evidently expecting that low prices will
prevail during June and July. The movement
of corn to Duluth continues large and
the sales of oats, provisions and family
supplies for the new settlements are
also undiminished. The large demand of Sat
urday kept MP the prices of strawberries yes

packers are now we'll supplied with Lake Su-
perior fab, and prices are little weaker than

The New York Herald, of Thursday, says of
the stock market: with full faith that a
decided improvement will occur later in the
year it is not believed that the present rally is
anything more than salving ever of a sore
spot in speculation, which must be radically
cured before healthy reaction ensues. When
the summer solstice is passed and the control.
ling spirits of speculation reappear in the mar
ket, an advance movement with staying powers
may be expected with some degree of certain
ty. Meanwhile appearances point to sluggish
and dropping prices, and an irregular and in
active market for q couple of months or more
to come"
