ST.. PAUL, Wednesday, June 20.
The. wholesale trade of st. Paul the past
week in the lines comprised in general mer-
chandise has come little nearer to the sum-
mer standard. Proprietors begin to think of
inventories and balance sheets, and of their
purchases for the fall trade, while statesmen
and clerks are thinking of how they shall best
use the occasional holiday they can take at
| this season. Trade is generally light,
while collections are unusually good
for the season. A few changes of
prices are to he noted. Heavy brown sheet
| ings have advanced 4@Hc. Raisins have
| advanced 25c; currants 14c and Alden dried
apples &c. Canned apples and canned beans
and peas are lower. Sisal cordage Is marked
down Hc. High grade sugars are X@Xc
cheaper. Calomel, chloroform, morphine and
quinine are lower. Linseed, bleached sperm
| and lard oils are lower. White lead is Csc
L
| hinges is increased. Copper bottoms are 1c
lower.
| The fruit trade continues very active, while
| the feature of the week has been the
early arrival of California fruits, which are
already in large supply. Oranges are in
| light stock and choice, sound, repacked Mes
sinas are quoted by Presley q Co. at $780,
Lemons have advanced and are sure to 60

In the lumber trade the demand continues
pressing-being for dry sorts ahead OF the
supply, and for all sorts well ahead OF ship
ping facilities. The GLOBE prediction OF three
| months ago that most varieties of well seas
oned lumber would be sold out before the 1st
of July has been fully verified, and south
| western dealers are now buying some varieties
green from the saws because they cannot lind
| dry in any market.
