produce are frmer feeling and
advance in wool. which goes up Sc on fleece
washed and &c on tub washed, higher price
for oats and ground feed, and steadier prices
on dressed poultry. This conn modify is now 10
full movement. the cold weather facilitating
the keeping and transportation of it. Bush
ness in it has been nprecedentedly good. Flour
shows no variation from quotations of last
week, but business Is even brisker than then
sDd very heavy movement has set in.
Oats are rather more inquired for and prices
little advanced, while dealings are easily con-
summated.
In the general hardware trade there is no
collections better, if anything, than last
week.
Finished iron and steel cannot be
qnoted differently from last weeks report.
Leather and findings keep up q very etrong
trade, with slightly upward tendency in
prices, though St. Paul merchants have made
no advance in prices as yet.
Boots and shoes have the same general
standing as leather and findings, trade increas-
ing and collections, if anything, better than
last week.
Dry goods are frmer in nearly all lines, but,
as in leather, our merchants have not advanced
prices.
Drugs, paints and oils have shown some ten
dency to drop little in some special lines, as
will be noted by reference to prices as quoted
in connection with this review. Orders are
coming in faster than they can be filed.
The only change in groceries by wholesalers
is Il of cent per pound advance on sugars.
Potatoes and country produce maintain the
prices given last week.
In hides there is increased trade, though no
variation in quotations.
Fancy goods and millinery keep the even
tenor of their way. and have rather increased
in sales during the past week.
There is no trade in light horses worth speak
ing of, although quite number have passed
through the city to fulfill previous contracts
Heavy horses have sold well at the
quotations last given, viz: $3.50 to $500 per
span, and some extra fine double teams for the
pineries have sold as high as $3.50.
Hay from farmers wagons on the street has
exhibited very strong upward tendency, but
has been held to last quotations by free arri
walls every day and consequent competition be-
tween sellers. Good wild hay sells at from
$40 so TO $1,000 per ton, and bright timothy
commands S1300@Sl4.50, while mixtures of
red top and timothy, and timothy and clover
are bought at nearly the same prices.
Wood has been hard to get, both by the yards
- IL
the roads. notwithstanding this fact prices
have been slightly raised. The wood dealers
of the city are furnishing their customers ct
the rates now quoted in the GLOBE, which are
as follows: Hard wood of all kinds average
$3.50 per cord for four foot length, and soft
woods 81. 90.
The cattle market is up to the standard as to
activity, and prices are firm. We quote com.
mon cows and heifers at So asa S3 so, State
steers 80. 51@S4 90, and common packing
cattle at 80 81 per cwt.
Yesterday was far the best day of the season
for receipts by team OF dressed hogs. Over
1000 head came In by wagons and were distrib-
uted impartially among packers and commits
sion men, for the greater part, though the
butchers got few.
The general retail trade of the city has been
rather dull, owing to the inclemency of the
weather, but, on the whole, Is satisfactory.
The banks have had their usual business for
this time of year, but no more 1t seems that
the merchants and bankers in country towns
are not handling much money as is usual at
this time of year. Various reasons are assigned
for this. but the chief cause is undoubtedly,
that farmers. as a general rule, having favor
able fall for farm work, have as yet, marketed
but little of their produce.
A New York dispatch of last evening says:
THE cotton goods market active to-day
and many additional makes of brown, bleaohed
and colored cottons have been advanced by
agents. Prints in irregular demand and steady.
Colored shirts and drawers doing well. Light
weight fancy cassimeres active. Flannels and
blankets in steady request"
