Among the Commission Men.
All have had an opportunity during the.
past week to see quotations gradually decline
in the grain and produce market, and to be-
hold market not very remarkable for
strength at first gradually weaken. Prices
have been gradually dropping off all the
week. OF all the grains wheat takes the lead
in the decline, and the Chicago quotations are
followed here, in Minneapolis and Duluth.
The consequence is, that so far as St. Paul is
concerned, the consequence has been doubt
and uncertainty to such degree that wheat
has been left pretty much alone, no one here
desiring to make any deals. The mills have
been paying for, farmers deliveries
a little less than quotations, but
been very limited indeed. The receipts and
shipments during the week have been as fol-
lows: Received 18, 683 bu; shipped 81, ,447. One
car OF oats only, or 1884 bu was received.
There is no corn in store and only 1000 bu OF
oats. The amount of wheat has been con-
siderably limited Notwithstanding prices at
interior points have been fairly well main
tanned. The trade in flour has been also
well maintained. The St. Paul roller mill
few days ago reduced the price Of its -four,
as will be seen below. The general condition
of the grain market has been that of quietude.
There has been only a moderate supply OF
corn, oats and barley, and some Of the time
none at all of corn Still the requirements have
not been urgent and accordingly there has been
no distress or OrincOnvenience. Ground feed has
been moderately easy, while hay, for the most
part of the week has been rather frmer, and
pretty good prices have been obtained. But
ter has not improved, and dullness continues
to exist and trade drags very slowly. OF
course some sales are being made daily, but
the supply and daily arrivals exceed the de-
mand, and stocks are accommodating. The
weather is getting warmer, the make increas-
ing and the quality improving. Buyers are
taking only small quantities and will continue
to do so until the make of butter is perfect.
When full grass color and flavor is obtained
and the price is satisfactorily low enough to
induce buyers to take hold, a little more sat
isfactOry movement can be looked for. Ex-
pOrters will no doubt enter the market soon.
and the future of the market will depend
greatly upon the foreign demand. Fine, fresh
-creamerieS can be bought at 1Sc per d, Oc-
casionally fancy make will bring a trifie
more in small way, but in lines 1Sc is an
outside figure, and choice makes no doubt
could be bought at lie per b, while light
colored stocks has sold at TIC. and less de-
Sirable makes down to 14015c. Diaries in
better supply and receipts increasing, with
sales Of choice makes in q small way at 14O
15c and good lots as they arrive QuOtable at
10@12c, with streaked fresh stock, but faulty
in make going as packing stock at &c. and
common packing stock down to &c. In
cheese moderate sales are being made on Or
ders, yet the market rules easy. The cheese
sold are replaced by fresh arrivals, and stocks.
if anything, are increasing slightly. 1t is
not desirable to keep the early makes OF
cheese on hand longer than is absolutely
necessary, for they soon deterlOrate in
quality, and when later and better makes
come on the market the early make will be
hard to sell. The general desire to realize
causes weak market, but prices exhibited
no further changes. The demand is only
for full cream. Rich, mild, insipid cheese
and hard Skins, sour Or sharp grades are
very dull. Eggs are in good supply and
prices are unchanged.
