The commission business has been quite
active during the week, while nearly all kinds
of grain and produce have had decidedly
the East have been weak, and that grain has
gradually and steadily declined. OF course
quotations also fell Off at St. Paul. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth, in like manner. The mills
here in st. Paul have been very poorly sup
piled from street deliveries, not much arriv-
ing by way of farmers teams. Receipts by
rail have been very limited, the elevators
taking in only $3.50 bushels and shipped out
1882 bushels. The amount of grain in store
ON the LIST Of June was: Wheat, 807.259 bush
els; oats, 1855; barley, 5,53S. At the
present time there is no corn in store,
and, as will be seen, very few oats. There
has been uniformly good trade in -four and
the shipments have been satisfactory. The
receipts of oats and corn have been very
light all the week, but that has not caused
prices to stand. On the contrary there has
been a gradual and steady decline both in
corn and oats. Barley has been dull and life
less and is quoted at 5Sc for No. 2. Rye has
felt the influence and has dropped to sec.
Ground feed. corn meal, shorts and bran are
all lower. Hay is the weakest article in the
list. The butter market is still very quiet,
and prices are somewhat lower. Receipts are
fair and full grass butter now is quite plenty,
but the demand is very limited and stocks
side markets is such that there is no encOur-
agement to ship even at the present low
prices at which goods can be bought, and
consequently there is no shipping trade
worth mentioning. 1t was reported yester-
day that the best Elgin creameries
are selling at lie. The local de-
mand is also light as in the present
condition of the market there is little dispo-
sition to buy except for the daily wants of re-
tail trade. The supply of fine creamery is not
large, but there is considerable ''oH stock,
some lacking color, body and flavor. A good
deal of it is butter which has been on the
market for some time, and this class of stock
will have to be closed out for about whatever
buyers choose to pay, but for fine fresh
creameries, perfect in color and high flavor,
present prices may possibly be maintained
Diaries are plenty and not all are desirable
Cheese is doing quite poorly and it has been
impossible to bring out buyers for any guam
tity with the make between a hay and grass,
and not suitable for long holding, aud lacking
in flavor or appearance suitable for the bet
ter markets. Eggs continue to hold the mar
ket pretty level, though the supply is sutfi-
cient for the demand and they hold along
quite steadily from 91ac to Zoe. Poultry is
out of the market, practically. Here and
there can be seen little offered, but not
much. Apples are becoming scarce. Straw
berries, bananas, oranges and lemons are
abundant and the fruit is all of very excel
lent quality.
