Quite 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 it
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
So per case, ZIG quarts, and Michigan at 90. rs
per case. Peaches sold at 81. 30 per basket
and 80 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 30c pound.
Wool is arriving more freely, growers being
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
80 900 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
