Sr. PAUL, April Is.
AS to money every day brings nothing new in the
st. Paul market. It's easy with the banks, fairly
easy with their regular customers and only uncom-
Portable for those who cannot maintain either credit
or bank balance. The official rates OF exchange
remain u per cent. premium for New YORK and S4SO
for sterling small bills. Governments bonds are SOLD
at the New York quotations of the day and bought at
A0h per cent. less.
At New York yesterday the "American Money Ex-
change" organized with 122 members, george W.
Smylie being president and Ed Barnes secretary
All indications observed yesterday among the
wholesale houses were in agreement with the reports
heretofore made of the swelling volume Of st. PauPs
mercantile traffic, as compared with any FORMER
years 1T this season.
The produce dealers Of st Paul continue actively
employed Wheat is nominally unchanged. The
PRICES of and oats remain steady, with an &C
tive trade We quote incoming prices below, the
outgoing prices being 10 higher. There is also
considerable movement of feed northward which
keeps stocks down and prices up. The receipts Of
eggs yesterday large and buyers prices dropped
A1lc Some changes of provision values are noted
Ia our quotations to-day.
New, York dispatch last evening says: "The dry
goods market continues quiet, but most descriptions
of goods are firmly held by agents. Cotton goods
quiet and steady Prints are dull and agents prices

request. Mems wear woolens quiet but most makes
are sold ahead and pr ces are very firm"

The New York Journal of Commerce says: ave
have procured one of the best samples OF glucose
syrup be obtained, and now have 1t In our ONCE.
1t is very handsome In appearance but little ex-
animation will convince any unprejudiced observer
that as now made it is not wholesome article of
food. Even drop leaves sharp biting taste on
the tongue, and anyone who VIII rinse dis mouth
with teaspoonful of it will not soon forget the e1-
perience If the PEG lie will sell 1t the legislature
ought to compel them to brand it with plain state
ment of the fact The phrase ''new-process sugar.,
under which the dry mixture is now sold, does not
disclose its true character and the syrup Is every
where sold without hint of the glucose it contains
The candies are still worse for in most cases they
have sugar whatever in them, and, although
made Of the glucose syrup are placed on the market
| with no mention of their true character"
Wall & Bigelows st. Paul circular OF 18th says OF
the Chicago wheat speculatons: "The situation re-
mains unchanged. A good many who have been
heavy bears have turned bulls basng their opinion
on the immense short interestsin Chicago. The win
ter wheat States reported to be short up to their
eyes, THE clique is reuorted to have been buying
| yesterday all day in Chicago"
