New York dispatch of last evening says: "The
dry goods and jobbing trade is fairly active but
| business remains quiet with package houses Cot
ton goods quiet and steady Prints are in very light
demand at first hands, Ginghams, lawns, piques
and wide prints fairly active Mems wear woolens
quiet and firm. Foreign goods in moderate demand.
The only changes in produce values yester-
day were in wheat and eggs. Street buyers
dropped to $l.03 for No. 2 wheat and the pro-
duce houses, finding themselves short
of eggs advanced the price to 15c.
day of liberal receipts WILL however,
bring eggs back to 1910 or lower. The values
of course grain and feed remain firm, with
| transactions limited by the scarcity of cars for
shipment out on the st. Paul & Manitoba road
and large orders delayed thereby. Receipts
from the So nth and Southwest are liberal.
| The need of board of trade, or produce
| board in st. Paul Is more felt this season than
ever before. Operations have largely increased
| in volume and variety and the offerings of
country produce come from such wide range
of territory that the facilities and restraints of
well managed board would be of great value
| to the St. Paul trade We believe the need is
now quite generally acknowledged by produce
dealers of the city, but there does not seem to
be any one having both time and inclination to
work up the organization. We have therefore,
| to suggest that the old board of
trade, (of. few years ago. could be
restored in few minutes time
| at any day and hour that a few merchants
would meet for that purpose. The furniture
belonging to the board can be collected in any
conveniently located room and the board re-
sumo its meetings without much expense or
loss of time to any one What say you, gentle
men? Shall we not have produce board and
| daily meetings?
A steamer started out from Sioux City yes
| terdav for Fort Pierre, with a full load of
freight and passengers, and two others are load
| ing at Sioux City for the same destination, to
leave one on Sunday and the other on Monday.
The ice in Mud Lake on the river St. Mary is
all that remains to hold lake vessels from en-
tering Lake Superior.
Eastern wool markets have been strength
ened by the cable advices from abroad, and by
the prospects of high opening of prices for
the spring clip. From some portions of GeOr-
gia, Kentucky, and other Southern States, con-
tracts have been made for wool unshOrn at very
high rates. In Virg inia contracts have been
made at 40c, in Ohio at Soc, and in California
from 35@40c, and in Kentucky about all the
clip has been bought up at 42045c.
The visible supply of petroleum is the larg-
est known in the history of the trade, estimat-
ed at between 5000, 900 and 100000 barrels,
and, with a production largely in excess of the
consumption, it is steadily increasing.
