Our general weekly review presents few
features radically different from those present.
ed one week ago. The chief articles which
demand notice are those coming under the head
of country sroduse. OF these some are Just
coming into market, and others have become
prominent from extraneous causes, as. for ex-
ample, butter and eggs. They will be found
to have received the necessary mention further
on in this report.
Fine and fancy fruits are just now articles
of peculiar consideration. and other goods
ISOLATED in the same trade, as, for instance,
cider, nuts etc. Oar revised list, corrected by
B. Presley & Co.. will be found ofinterest.
Apples in car lets range from $l.6o to rs
per barrel in car lots, aud in smaller deals from
81. rs to S225, the latter for fauoys.
Plums are about out of the market but there
are few left at % 1895.
California grapes are about the only speci-
mems of this fruit left in the market, and they
sell for 81 the twenty pound case. Muscats
ss so.
Native pears are becoming scanty, but there
are few still in the market at 3d. so to 81 Cali

There is no material change in lumber
freights remain the same, and although quota
lions have not relaxed, deals are easy.
Only small dealers are buying wool, simply
to supply the immediate necessities of their
business. No large transactions are consum-
mated. nor will there be any such until later in
the season probably January, or thereabouts.
It is hardly time for regular handling of ven
ison yet, though few carcasses have come in
bat. as they cannot be shipped, they are imme-
diately placed in the eating houses and restau-
rants. Sometimes fancy prices are paid for
extra nice saddles, but, as the range is wide
and uncertain no established prices can be
made until the trade settles down into regular
channels.
Country produce shows many and various
fluctuations, owing to the alterations now
taking place as compelled by the season and
the scarcity of products. Butter, for instance,
of superior quality, is very scare and pro-
portionately high. Eggs, too, are sought
eagerly and in demand at full quotations
Exceptionally fine lots, occasionally command
though such cases are rare. Barley shows an
improvement. Beeswax is dull and lightly
sought.
Flour is strong at previous quotations.
Hides are weak at 94@91i for green, salt,
while dry flint go TO I5c These prices are
held here in the face OF drop in the Eastern

Brothers d Co, exhibit only one change, and
that shows q decided advance in spirits of tur-
pentine. to 64@6O cents.
Leather and findings show a atrong trade,
good collections, but no changes.
In finished iron and steel we find prices
continuing as quoted before. Except in PAN
ickY times, or when some unusual force is in
PRODUCED into the regular channels of trade,
these goods are slow of change and quote requ-
lar.
Millinery goods show no difference from
last quotations, and probably will not for two
months to come. Trade is very brisk and COL
lectioDs fair.
Hardware has no essential notifications in
the general trade.
Finished iron and steel stands without
change in rates. Good trade characteIizes all
the st. Paul business in that line; also fair
collections.
Boots and shoes are in good demand and firm
as quotations. Business frst-clsss and no
trouble with collections.
The liquor trade is perhaps the slowest, both
in business and collections, of any business
done here, although there is no complaint
from this quarter.
Drugs, paints and oils note only one change
in quotations, that being in the article of Sept
8. of turpvntine, which has advanced from
63@5S to 54@6o Trade in this line is not so
lively as in tue first part of the month, but
there is nothing to complain Of. Washburn
must go.
