ST. PAUL, Sept. 13, 1882 The changes
in quotations and also in the conditions of
the local market in st. Paul have been so
slight during the past week that there is
not much occasion for comment. The same
activity prevails in all departments that we
referred to week ago, and the same brisk
demand for goods continues that existed.
while collections are rather better than
they were. The whole northwest seems to
feel pretty secure as the wheat and oat crop
has been secured in good condition. Be-
sides TINS the opinion prevails among deal
ers that the crop, besides being large one,
has been better cared for than ever before.
and that the farmers, or most OF them, at
any rate, have found out that there
is something moro to be done than to get
good crop and that that something is to
take care of it when they get it. 1t is
understood to be the fact that the farmers
have more generally stacked their wheat
this year than ever before, and not only
this, but they have been much more care
full in stacking, so that the crop itself is
better secured, and will be of that much
more value to the country. The definite
conclusion at last reached in regard to
the result of the harvest has, of course, had
its effect IN doing something towards set
Ting the grain market. Of course, not
much has been done in this respect, as
there are many contingencies to be met
and removed before we shall strike bed rock
and reach basis upon which prices can be
fixed. Still enough is known to enable
dealers to look with little more certainty
aud defniteness upon the market. Col
lections are improving. This is the natural
result of the immense harvest. The far
mers feel easier and they pay up more
readily to the dealers in the interior, and
this III turn enables the latter to respond
to the wholesale men. It is but reasonable
to anticipate good deal of improvements
yet in the way of collections. The local grain
market during the week has not varied in
any material manner from the preceding
weeks. Owing to the uncertainty of the
result of the crops there has been really
no very reliable and satisfactory quota
tions to give, The figures furnished have
really been nominal. They are no more
now. The financial condition is very soli6
and bankers are ready for whatever legit
innate demands will be made upon them
They understand that large amount o.
money will be required to move the i'm
mense wheat and oat crop, and also tn,
corn crop which viii be one third large
than ever before. Forthis they are pre-
ri
and tha3 Is that the price of wheat is no
up to just what the farmers would like t.
have IT, and as q consequence
a considerable portion of tn
crop will go into the elevator
to await an advance. What effect this vii
have on the money market the future vii
determine.
