Telegraphic Review of Eastern Markets.
ST. PAUL, July II.
Crop reports of yesterday were simply con-
firmatory of the previous favorable reports.
The weather continues all that could be deaired
for wheat-clear and breezy-and has within a
weeks time almost wholly restored the growing
grain from the effects of long continued moist
ure and the extreme heat which prevailed for a
few days at about the close of the rainy sea-
son. People are again becoming sanguine and
from favored sections the talk about yields of
eighteen to forty bushels per acre is renewed.
That extravaganza however. don't count il
commercial circles. If the average of the State
is twelve bushels per acre we shall have the
largest aggregate crop ever raised in the State
All other crops are promising full average
yields.
Wall g. Bigelow's weekly review of the late
grain and provision markets, dated at st. Paul
| last evening, is as follows: Wheat closed
steady after week Of very irregular markets,

A New York dispatch of last evening says:
''There is an improved feeling in the dry goods
market and business is steadily improving.
Flsnnels active and some makes are now held
at their value Cloakings and repellents in
fair request and Kentucky Jeans moving stead
lily. Cotton goods rather more active and dark
prints and Worsted dress goods more sought
for
The weeks trade in ST. Paul shows moderate
advances in coarse grains and feed. Butter IS
firmer, with an increasing trade. The market
is about cleared of bacon sides. Onions are
held firm at 81 per barrel. Small fruits are
| somewhat cheaper, though still scarce. Deal
ers, in view of the probable continued scar
city, expect that prime qualities will continue
to bring high prices, but the damage from hot
weather has put on the market great deal of
fruit in poor or decaying condition, selling at
any price offered. This stock having been dis
posed of, prices are likely to be frmer the
coming week.
