There is svery day steady increase in the
volume of business done by city wholesale
merchants, and prices fuctuate but little.
There is every prospect that this great branch
of commerce in the Northwest is on the safest
and sOundest basis it has ever been, and as
this could only be brought about by healthy
financial condition among the retailers through
out the territory tributary to st. Paul, the
outlook for permanent healthy condition of
trade is most cheering, and matter for hearty
congratuiation
THE CITY MARKET.
The cold, rainy morning of yesterday COM
PEELED light attendance at the Seventh street
market, both of buyers and sellera. The fine
fruit trade laguished considerably, as people
were unwilling to face the raw air and encoun-
ter muddy crossings for the sake of mere luxu-
ries. Eggs ore in brisk demand and light sup
ply. Produce for the cellar is in moderate re-
quest only, the chief trade being confined to
table supplies. Prices remain nominalIy the
same as last quoted in the GLOBE.
Commission buyers report eggs in scarce sup
ply at 16Q20o for good fresh lots, and prices
tending upward Heavy receipts, too, of but
ments, render the market weak. though prices
remain nominally unchanged.
Fruits, of the tender varieties, are nearly all
out of market, or on the Threshold. Grapes
still linger, snd the quality is still up to No.
standard. but their day will soon be over.
Prices as last quoted. Winter apples are in
fair demand for family winter supply, and re.
tail trade in country towns, with prices rang
ing from 81. rs, in large lots, to 80. so for
smaller deals. Trade is good in all branches of
the commission business, with collections
easy.
hay by the load on the street ranges in price
from 90. 00@I000 per ton for wild, to $Il.OO@
1900 for timothy, and timothy and red top
mixed. The supply is up to the demand, and
trade light.
The city wood markets have been doing a
very brisk business of late, and particularly
yesterday. when the weather seemed to indicate
sudden freeze up. Good sound maple wood
sells for $3.50 per cord, delivered. Oak,
$500; tamarack, $3.50; mixed wood, 1915:
slabs, $500. One dollar extra is charged for
saving, and 81. so for saving aud splitting.
A New York dispatch of last evening says
1.-THE dry goods business continues quiet with
package houses and the jobbiug trade is slug
gish, converters operating more freely in co...

moderate. Prints remain quiet and ginghams
less active but steady. Spring clothing wool
