ST. PAUL MARKET REVIEW.
ST. PAUL, April 10, 1882.
The markets during the past week present
no strikingly new features of which special
mention is required. The volume of trade in
all departures has increased, and our whole
sale dealers are even more busy than they
were last week. The roads have improved
somewhat, which has served to increase bust.
ness a good asai by enabling farmers
and their families. to get to market,
and back the same day. The emigration still
continues from Canada to Manitoba. AS q
matter of course the passage of SO many
thousand people through St. Paul even though
they do 20 through to another jurisdiction,
cannot fail to aid in swelling the general vol
ume OF business. Most of these people will
90 through to Manitoba. Some Of them
and no small portion Iof them either
through will drift back again into the states.
Whether they do or not, they must naturally
obtain their supplies to a very considerable ex-
tdnt from st. Paul. The increase of the popu-
latiOn in Manitoba means an increase of bust
ness in St. Paul. The progress of these emf.
grants through this city has been con-
| tinuous for six or eight weeks
and from present indications is likely to con-
tinue for some time to Gomez All the reports
from the east 60 to shew thst the full flood

ands upon thousands are still coming, Bus
mess is very active all along the line and many
dealers are far behind in their orders.
| The money market is in much the same
condition as it was reported last week to be
in. There is plenty of money for all legiti-
mate business and all who desire can be ac-
commedated Money is active, while the
jebbers of the city are calling on the banks
daily, the country dealer Is also accommo.
dated, to any extent required. While
there does not seem to be any great surplus
of money, there is enough for all legitimate
purposes. City deposits are good, while col
lectlons are not quite as good as they ought
to be.
| Dry goods remain the same as noted last
week. The sale of goods is large, but collec-
tions are not just what they ought to be.
| The same general activity that was noticed
last week prevails now in regard to the gro
Gerry trade and prices have changed a good
deal. Canned goods have declined some.
Powdered, crushed and cut loaf sugars have
advanced.
Hardware is very fair and active. The only
change in quotation is is in sheet zinc which
has advanced to &c.
Boots and shoes and leather remain the
same.
Lumber is very active and firm in very
great demand.
