Weekly ReU1e1C.

Iu6n tnat mas cuaracteftXo0 Inc market curing
the past few weeks. The frequent storms
have served tc keep the roads to the country
in very bad condition and consequently to
keep produce from being brought in
and bills from being paid. The re-
sult is that while dealers have
been reasonably busy, trade has been some
what limited, and even curtailed in some re.
spects. TheIe has been enough OF 1t, though,
and about as much as could be banded
Money is in active demand, and the banks
have been called on rather more freely than
usual. While all classes of borrowers are in
the market, there is no scarcity of funds to
accommodate all who come with satisfactory
paper. Collections have not been satisfactory
owing to the storm and the bad state of the
roads. s'l
On the board of IN st. Paul, and in the
grain market generally the transactions have
been limited, for the reasons above given.
Wheat has been firm with limited transactions.
Corn pretty firm. Oats quiet and firm.
Ground feed has been in pretty good demand.
Altogether the week has been quiet one.
The dry goods market, like all other de-
lpartments, has been quiet during the week
under consideration and DO changes are noted
in Quotations. Messrs. Auerbach, Finch &
Van Slyck are now moving from the old
wigwam into the new block erected for them
by E. F. Drake, and will open out in the course
of week In full blast. ~
The transactions in groceries have been
about the same as usual, the volume of
trade keeping up very well, and better than in
most lines OF trade. This is owing partly to
the fact the country northwest Of st. Paul Is
rapidly filing up with people, who must have
supplies. The only changes in quotations to
be noted, in this line this week are in sugars.
