i ST.. PAUL, Wednesday, Feb. 81.
There is no special thing In the history {
the trade of the past week that requires an
special mention at the present time. tn
furry at Chicago, already referred to, Us al
over, the dead and wounded have been re
moved, and business Is righting up again an
values are being in degree settled. As t
the condition Of the local market, it may b
said to be quiet and steady, with gradual ant
healthy increase in the trade.
The money market Is without any percepti
BILE change since the last review. Collections ar
reported to be better and more liberal thai
| they were last week, viii CHI enables merchant
to meet their obligations at the banks NOR,
promptly. The condition may be summed W
in the term fairly active.
Business on the st. Paul board of trade dur
ing the week has been upset by the smash-ur
in the wheat market in Chicago and Milwau
kee, and very little has been doing. Yesterday
morning it was quite as dull on the board as II
has been, and the attendance was not large.
Wheat has been weak. Corn and oats quiet
and rather dull. Barley fair demand. Other
articles have been dull and dropping.
The dry goods market is quiet and steady,
and trade is without any particular change.
Collections have been rather better than dur
ing the previous week. The snow storm will
probably iHtefere with travel some, and thus
cause some delay in business, but as soon as
the roads are once opened an increase OF bust
ness may be looked for. Quotations are firm
and without change.
Groceries are in good demand and quite a
number Of changes In quotations are noted
this week. Valencia raisins and some other
minor articles have advanced, while canned
fruits, coffees and sugars have declined very
perceptibly.

change.

with increasing trade. There are no indica-
tons of any chenge in prices.

change. When once the prices are fixed they

an abundant supply, Quotations are without
change.
