St. Paul daily globe., 1885-03-18

The changes in quotations in Chicago were
closely followed at st, Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth- The receipts here by the elevators and
also by the mills have been very light indeed.
Only HOPS bushels have been taken in by the
elevators during the week. The mills have
ceived next to nothing owing to the condition of
the roads which have become almost impossible
in certain spots for loaded teams. Some of the
time the mills have actually stopped for want Of
wheat to grind. No price can be mentioned for
street wheat as hardly enough was received to
make price. During the week the elevators
shipped out II 1865 bushels OF oats 1878
bushels were received while 1903 bushels were
shipped out. The shipments of flax were
1871 bushels and those Of barley
were 1853 The business in flour
has been fairly active with no change in prices,
the roller mill still selling at the quota
tions, viz: Orange Blossom. S.; Red Cross,
$3.50; Capitol, "a; Bakers xxx, S3.l5; Der
by, 81. 40. The light receipts of cats have had
atendency to increase quotations and they have
advanced accordingly and yesterday advanced
hcon very firm market Bar ey that has held
up ali the week under good demand for ship
ing and also for manufacturing purposes, dropped
back yesterday &C. Milstuffs have been pretty
steady all the week. Hay has been in good de-
mand most of the week at quotations Fresh
eggs have been growing in favor all the week.
They have not huctuated much in price but yes
terday they were stiff at 13E with NUN
Der of sales, one of so cases at 15c.
Butter is terror to The COM
mission men. very week feeling pervaded
the market in regard to it and prices are tending
lower, with stocks still accumulating. There is
no shipping demand and the general market is
ruling exceedingly dull, though there is some in
uuiry for choice to fine makes of creamery, but
everything below choice is dull and weak. In
cheese a fair order demand is reported, and de-
sirabe grades of cheese have fair sale and are
steady at quotations. 1t is reported that full
cream cheddars have fair sale and that the
stock of mild cheese is small. Summer made
sharp cheese is dull, yet the stock is low. The
general tone of the market in regard to apples
does not seem to have materially changed from
the close Of last week. There has been moder-
ate demand and choice stoc was firm.
In oranges there is an active
demand, with probably the best supply we
have ever had in the market. Messrs. H. G. Hem
enway & Co. have commenced receiving and deliv
ering the celebrated Riverside oranges, which
are very superior in quality. These they con-
tinually receive through the season, direct from
California. For live hogs there is no demand on
the board and quotations for dressed are merely
nominal. The demand for poultry has been
limited all the week with receipts fully equal to
ali requirements, and only a little larger receipts
would be required to swamp the market.
