Held Firm-Stock Market Continues
Buoyant.
Mr.. PAUL, Aug. rs
Pending the present movement OF crops aud the
opening Of fall trade business at the banks is rather
light, but the arrangements making by custom, RS
for expected needs indicate an unusually active fsl.
with large demands for money. Rates of exchange
are nomlnay unchanged.
The disastrous fire of Monday mornsg at fret
caused some apprehension that the commercial i'm
portance Of st. Paul might DO leesened by tho with
drawal OF both Of tho houses burned out. But
both have already made preparations for resuming
business On undiminished scale and both are al
ready accepting aud filing ORDERS IL no interrupt
will be provided With quarters quito favorable to
business as those OF which they were so unexpected
ly deprived
There are no new features OF great importance In
the wholesale trade OF the city for the past week
Values OF dry goods continue TO settle aud are now
about settled for the opening OF the fall trade. Our
merchants are stocking up heavily and are well pro-
pared forfhe enlarged needs OF the country in all
varieties OF goods Groceries are quite steady In
price, with mail orders increasing aud considora-
BILE number OF buyers coming in person.
The drug trade is fairly active and prices are gen.
orally brm. Opium is higher; glycerine ad-
vanced cents per pound; sheacs are higher
lard oil, extra. advanced, altogether 1oc higher;
change in linseed oil or window glass. The iron
aud hardware trade continues good with materia,
change of prices. Leather and findings and boots
and shoes are selling freely, the fall trade In these
goods being fairly open.
Very little Of the crop grain IL yet coming 10
market but that which is coming Is uniformly Of
good quality and all advlces from the country agree
that unless the grain Is injured between cutting and
threshng II is all Of superior quality Late country
estimates OF wheat yields are lover than two weeks
ago, and II now appears that the cultivated ares
where wheat will ayerage over ifteen bushels per
acre is quite small, hardly large enough to balance
the area In which the yield will average not more
than ten bushels per On the st. Paul board OF

warm weather. Cotton goods In moderate de-
mand ut unchanged prices. Prints in fair re-
quest, dress ginghams active and dress goods
doing fairly. Clothing woolens quiet. For
