that there is no perceptible difference. TRADE
has at this season become pretty we'll settled
go that there are no fluctuations to amount t.
ANYTHING. 1t is the universal testimony
throughout the city that all dealers have al

into the night tC do It, There are, however
few of these, and most of our houses are over

The movement of emigrants from
Canada and the East to the Northwest
has been renewed, and nearly every day trains
are arriving loaded with these emigrants OF
settlers who are seeking homes In the North
west. This is having the necessary effect OF
Increasing the business in st. Paul. The re
suit is the multiplying of orders, many Of
which have not vet been filed. While the re-
opening of the route to Manitoba has had the
effect Of increasing business the fact that the
farmers throughout the whole Northwes,
are very busy seeding has had, on the con
trary, the effect of curtailing trade to con
siderable extent 1t has also had an effect in
limiting collections.
The money market has not much changed
since our last weekly review. Collections
during May have been very poor
but are beginning to improve The
fact that collections have been slow is attrl6.
uted mostlyto unpleasant weather The demand
for money is very active, and it has been want
ed for the purpose of paying and discounting
Eastern bills. The banks IN 81. Paul have
| been able to supply their customers, and all
persons that have offered good paper have been
accommodated. The season promises well,
and there will undoubtedly be more active
I movement when farmers have finished seeding.
There is considerable wheat in the state yet
which will probably begin to move more free
| ly when farmers are through seeding.
The activity that prevails in regard to
groceries has lot varied much. This line is
always pretty active: Quite NUMBER OF
changes have been made in prices, but none OF
them are of much Importance.
| Drugs, oils and paints are firm and very
active. Oil anise, oil cloves, and oil lemon
have advanced Turpentine has declined.
Hardware Is very active, but the market 10
very unsettled indeed, especially in nails and
IRON, owing to the prospects OF general
strikes. A travelling man OF one OF the largest
mills in Pittsburgh received dispatch yes
terday directing him to make no contracts
ahead for nails. Dealers here do not know
lust what to do. II the mills concede what
the employees ask, OF course there will
not be a strike, and all the dif.
ference to be noticed will be slight increase
in price, to meet the advance conceded to the
strikers.
Dry goods are without change. The market
is active and collections are fair.
Lumber is sill very firm, and, so far as can
be observed, there Is no reason TO oeiieSe ~
will decrease 10 price this season. The demand
for all grades is unprecedented.
WHOLESALE PRODUCE.
The produce trade is active. In fruits an
immense trade is doing. Oranges are still ad-
