ST.. PAUL, Dec. 5, 1SS3.-The market
during the past week has been rather more
active than during the preceding one, and
of course the volume of business has con-
siderably increased, while in collections
there has been a decided improvement
owing in considerable degree to the fact
that wheat has been moving somewhat
more actively. 1t does not go forward
though as fast as it ought to, and all the
elevators at Duluth, Minneapolis, and all
along the lines of the road are full. Even
the st. Paul elevators are
within 100000 bushels of
being full. Groceries are enjoy ing the
usual good demand, and activity prevails
in this line. Dried apples have declined
little and so have nuts. There are no
changes in coffees CIR sugars, but they are
firm at quotations with indications
that they will go higher before they go
lower. Dry goods are rather quiet, and
business is far from active. The weather
is not favorable for the sale Of such goods
as are usually in demand at this season OF
the year. The weather is too mild to
make heavy, coarse winter articles in much
demand. There are no changes in hard
ware, but in regard to activity this depart
ment is only surpassed b. that of drugs,
oils and paints. Collections are satisfac-
tory III this line. Lard oil has advanced.
The market is generally steady, with orders
coming in to such an extent that work
has to be continued into the midnight
hours in order to keep up with the require
ments Of the trade. Lumber is active
Notwithstanding the season, and prices
are unchanged. The produce market has
been pretty steady all the week, but it was
on weak market. Wheat which started
last week at CSC managed to climb up to
99c- The change was very slight and the
demand very limited. Corn, oats and
barley, and even all other articles were in
about the same condition. Of course, this
market here will not get down to solid
and satisfactory basis till the eastern mar
kets become settled, and at present there
is very little chance for this. The inan-
cial situation may be said to
have improved little, that is to say, the
demand for money is not quite so active
while collections have improved, and
banks are beginning to show, in a slight
way, some tendency to gradually work to-
waId an easier money market.

the company had heavy floating debt unpro-
vided for. The pressure to sell Wizards had an
unfavorable effect on other active shares. Chi
