FINANCE & COMMERCE.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 81, 1888.

With q snow storm every few days, and
+bo railroads blockaded there can be but
little expectation of much activity IN busl-
mass During the last part of last week the
roads were opened to travel and tralas ran
reoularly. Business men then looked for
an improvement in business and were noV
disappointed for there was a decided IN
crease in sales, but Monday night another
snow storm commenced here and contlnueo
through yesterday, the wind blowing
and the snow drifting badly. Dealers yes
terday admitted that trade was quite
limited all around. All merchandise lines
are ouIet and even dull,at the present tlme'
and all expect that they Will so remain
for some time to come. in general
way it may be said that prices are STEADY
At anv rate there are no material changes
from last weeks quotations. There has
been 3 fair sale Of heavy dry goods, wool
ems Aanpels. etc. Groceries are steady
and unchanged. The reduction noted last
week in blasting powder, No. iron hopper
coffee mills, and knives and forks IS still
continued. Drugs, paints and oils picked
UP a little the last part of last week, but
the storm of Monday and yesterday set
everything back. In produce wheat is not
in very great supply and is in fair demand
at an advance. During the week 1t has
been gradually advancing. Flour Is rather
firmer but quotations have not changed.
Corn and oats have been show
ing more healthy feeling. Barley
has been rather quiet though on
Monday it advanced a little. Rye is quiet
ground feed and bran unchanged Hay is
improving; dressed hogs are in good sup
ply and are held pretty firm. Butter Is
without change and rather dull. Eggs are
firm at the advance noted last week. Poul-
try is rather scarce and firm at the advance.
Cattle and live hogs are firm owing to the
difficulty of transportation. Money con-
tinues much in the same condition 1t was
in last week. The easing up of the mark
ct in the East does not seem to have affected
our banks here up to this time. There is
continuous demand for money, and in most
cases the demand is met. In all cases where
the security is good the money can be
obtained by all who have regular dealings
with the banks. Collections are rather
slow but of the two improving.

The Rate Committee, which has served
for number of years, was continued for
another year. An important feature of
tO-day's session was the accession to
membership in the association of the
Richmond and Danville, East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia and
the Norfolk and Western Roads, which
gives the association what was wanting
the complete control of transportation in
the Gulf States. 1t is understood that the
association to-day discussed proposition
looking to a general advance of transpOr-
tation rates upon all of the lines under its
control, but the delegates who attended
are reticent upon the subject, and it is
not known positively whether definite
action to that end was taken. The asso-
citation adjourned to meet at Atlanta in
October next.
