st. PAUL, Oct. 10, 1881.
The unusual and long continued wet wealth
er of this fail has made the condition of tn,
Eastern money market matter of interest Il
our wholesale merchants who, in the presen
condition OF their trade, world not like to SET
the stringeRcy which was a few days age
brought 10 bear upon the New York stool
board extended tn their business connections
Their trade is very large, the demand for goods
seeming not TO he limited az all by the wealth
er conditions, while these last 90 material,
limit payments for the goods sold There is
however, among merchants, both of city anC
country, great confidence in the resources OF
the county. The damage 10 crops by the rains
they argue, is being made up right along by
the steadily increasing market value of al
farm products; and the dealing in the move
ment of wheat, oats, f * and other principal
products can easily be remedied
in two three weeks of favorable
weather, while meantime the lesser products,
potatoes, butter, ,foNl Is aud small stock are
going 10 market, selling at very high figures
1t is also a fact To be taken into consideration
that the farmers are not badly in debt, as they
were only few years ago; aud it may be con-
sldered also that at the worst the aggregate
value of saleable products of the year will b.
in far excess of any possible demands upon
the cash-resources of the state.

STAINS, of Jackson street, who was last season
supplied by former employe with Washing
ton Territory hops, which proved to be the
best ever offered in this market is at present
in correspondence with grower and buyer al
Puyallup, who states that this seasons crop
in that one small valley will amount this year
to about 600,000 pounds or about three thou
sand bales. This is said to be more than the
whole surplus Of the New York crop. A
sample of the Puyallup hops of this season,
sent to Mr.. Constans, on being examined by
experts, is pronounced worth double the best
Wisconsin hop, in the market But the dis
elimination in freights from The Pacific against
St. Paul in favor of Chicago operates to limit
the direct trade desired by the Puyallup
dealer.
