business circles of 81. Paul that have been
heretofore mentioned with 10 special feature
TO notice. The weather is now and has been
favorable for good crop and this, in addi-
ton TO other considerations gives great conf
dence to business circles, aud holds out gen.
erous temptations to all business men.
The money market is without any striking
feature. Business in the country at this sea-
son of the year is more or less dull, and natur-
ally has some effect on the money market.
During the week there has been an active
counter business, which has not varied much
for the last moath. The de-
mand for money has been fair,
and all applications for loans that deserved
In leather there are no changes TO note.
Boots and shoes hold their own and are
very steady, with good demand.
Iron, steel, and hardware generally, are at
tracing something more than the usual at
tention now, owing 10 the fact
that the labor strikes in the
east are assuming SUCH proportions that no
one can form any idea of the outcome of
the business. If there is compromise, and
the manufacturers come to an understand
ing with the workmen, the quotations
will not, in all probability,
be very materially changed, though some
slight advance will undoubtedly be made TO
cover the, costs and expenses of the strike.
II, on the other hand, the strikes are contiG-
ued aud business deranged, and capital is com
PEELED to remain idle in consequence
of the unwilIingness of the men to
resume their positions, prices will be very
materially advanced. This uncertainty Is just
what annoys dealers. The Chicago houses
have telegrapbed to all their travelling men in
this region TO hold grades at a certain adj
vanced figure for the present, and till further
advices. The market Is really unsettled and
vet quotations are not very much changed.
Common iron is marked 25c this morning,
while nails have been advanced from $40 TO
So rs. Now whether they are togo higher
Or lower depends upon the strike. II it con-
tinues an advance is certain. II the
troubles are ended within reasonable time
probably about the present figures Wall be
maintained. Lumber is without change
with prices very firm and the demand in adj
lance of the supply.
Dry goods are without change with good
trade and fair collections.
Drugs, paints and OILS are active, as usual.
Turpeutine has advanced 10 &c, and carbon
oil has also slightly advanced; otherwise there
are no changes.
Groceries are without change this week.
Business is active.
Eggs are III good demand with light re-
ceipts, ard consequently quotations are very
firm at l6@l7c.
Butter is fiat, very fat. Too much is COM
ing in for the local trade, while there is no
shipping demand. Prices are too high for
shippers to take hold OF it, and the conse-
quence IS that it is very dull. The commits
SION houses are holding at as high prices as
possible with view 10 letting down the
country merchants with as little loss as
possible.
