FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL.
ST. PAUL. Sept. 90. 1882.

OT. HAUL, OepC. ~, 1857.
There is really but little occasion for
comment concerning the markets this
week. There has been no material change
since our last report, either in the general
condition of the market or in quotations
Every department. is busy. and orders are
coming in more rapidly than at any pre-
vious time. Butter is shade stronger.
eggs are rather quiet but steady, fruit is
generally little weaker, game firm, hides
quiet, t,malt lower, hops higher and stronger,
raisins are lower, dry goods without change,
calomel has advanced slightly, oil sassafras
is firmer, baled hay weaker, dressed meats
are steady, live stock unchanged.
In regard to money matters, the move
ment of currency into the interior incident
to the marketing of the crops, has COM
menced in real earnest, and banks are Or
dering currency from the East to meet the
demands. Exchange is at discount be-
tween banks. The return flood of money
is not as yet perceptible, as farmers are
obliged to to pay employees and threshing
expenses from the proceeds of such GUAM
tity of wheat as they have been able to
haul to market. Country merchants will
reap their harvest rs soon as these pay
ments have been made and additional
for money continues active, and banks are
responding to all legitimate calls from
regular customers. Outside paper is be-
ing generally Disseminated against.
Counter business is good and shows in
creased volume as the season advances.
The promises of the season are being re-
allied, and our business men are doing as
we'll as the most sanguine hoped for.
