St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-01-28

The local movement of grain has again been
lighter during the past week, the railroads re-
porting receipts AZ cars against "a the previous
week and the shipments against IA for the
week before. Elevator reports show the receipt
of !, 949 bushels, and shipment to the mills Of
1899 being a reduction Of the stock
in store OF 1903 bushels. Farmers
deliveries have been heavy considering
the weather Prices at the mills have been from
farmers wagons, csc, 70c@75c. Outside dealers
have paid S2cQS4c for No. hard. The stocks
Of grain in elevator, compared to a week ago, are
as follows:
Jan. 20. Jan. 81 Increase
Wheat ,11S.571 l,117,26S 1903
Oats. 6,136 5,3l1 s25
Barley. ........- SITS o,T6
Flax. 1928 1886 1907
The flour market has been fairly active, the
whole production of the mills moving of at
slightly increased figures. Corn has been very
scarce and high, and from outward appearances,
it would seem as though bottom p.ces in corn
! had been touched for the last time this season.
! The fact seems to be that there Is not great
deal of corn left. shipping and feeding having
used up the large crop. The receipts of OATS
have been more liberal during the past week, but
| prices have ruled firm and steady. Receipts of
| barley have been light and prices have ruled
! higher, SIC being bid on change for No. q and
street prices for small lots &c higher. Feed has
been very firm and in demand with light sup
! plies. The receipts OF hay have been
more liberal, but prices have not weak
! ened, and wild hay is selling to-day
| at 50 more than at the same time last year. The
produce exchange during the week has been
| quiet and generally steady. Buffers have been
firm for extras, but seconds and thirds have been
very dull and almost unsuitable owing to the large
quantities Of butterine shipped onto the market,
which presenting more uniform and even ap-
pearance. is preferred to genuine butter by the
dea er, who is able to put it on to his customer
as a first class quality of creamery at price a
little above common dairy, making for himself
pig profit. The state Is sadly in
need Of legislation upon this subject,
not, perhaps, TO prevent its sale,
for a man should have the privilege of eating
river IN ad for butter IL he preferred it, but TO
prevent its being sold as genuine. and the law
should be made so stringent that the butter
counterfeiter would be mach punished, and
consequently much despised as the coin
counterfeiter. Cheese has been little easier;
eggs steady but quiet strictly fresh the only
ones commanding attention aud most grade a.
extras or frsts. Choice poultry, both turkeys
and chickens, are In demand aud sales are quick
at good prices. This holds good only for extras
and choice (see book of classification. There is
nothing new TO say of foreign fruits, apples
are scarcer and dearer. Cranberries are very
scarce and held at high figures. There are but
few houses holding any in stock and these are
rels. Provisions quiet and steady; beans
dull and slow, the commoner stocks being a
drug; dressed meats frmer; furs, hides, wool
and tallOw quiet; brewers materials steady.

cation OF dairy produce, etc This book will be

ceipt of the postage. A very large number OF
country merchants have already ayalled them.
