Among the Commission Men.


The commission men have had rather an
active week, largely in spring and summer
fruits and vegetables, which have been
brought in in good quantities. The market
has also been well supplied with all varieties
OF berries, but it has required a good deal of
speed and deXterity TO handle them well and
prOttably. Wheat has been dull and quiet all
the week, with a declining tendency. The
Chicago market has been dropping all the
week, and the same may be said of the ST.
Paul market Owing TO very light demand,
corn and oats have been weaker and the sup
ply really nominal, but sufficient. Only 49,
600 bu of wheat were received at the eleya-
tors, and only zoe bu were shipped out.
Nothing else was received. Barley and rye
are nearly nominal, and no quotations have
been given them during the week Ground
feed has been in some demand during the
week, and quotations have not varied much
from day TO day The same may be said of
corn meal. Hay has been on the decline and
there appears to be Il disposition TO wait, as
far as possible, for the new crop. Seeds have
been unchanged. Eggs have held up all the
week, and have been almost firm till within
the past few days they have dropped little. In
butter there is continued dullness and stag
nation. The receipts of choice and fine makes
of creamery are not large, but there is hardly
any demand and stocks are ON
the increase. Dealers cannot dis
pose of the product fast enough TO
the condition of outside markets is such that
there is no encouragement to ship, and con-
sequently there is no shipping trade worth
mentioning. lt is a surprising fact that the
local demand is also very light. This unu-
sual situation is partly accounted for by the
fact that the retail ErOcers, who have hereto
fore purchased mostly of the commission
houses, row purchase directly from the
crcamericS- On the whole the market is in
state of stagnation, and il is almost impossi-
bla IN ROT IEClIGp fOr ha ,,FI
creamery, though holders are struggling hard
To do better. Nothing but that which is abso-
lutely faultless in color and flavor will bring
the outside figure, and there is very little
of such on the market. Diaries are also
dull and weak. Cheese is rather quiet.
and il has been found impossible to
bring out buyers for any quantity ex-
cept for those suitable for long holding and
that have good flavor and appearance suita-
bic for the better markets. Dealers are look
ing around some, but seem slow to bid. Pota-
toes are selling rather slow and the receipts
have been lighter for several days. There is
a good call for fine and solid stock, probably
sufficient 10 take all offered on sale. Still. to
bring paying price, requires a really fine
stock, free from sprouts Fruits of all vari-
eties are coming in large quantities, and
pears, peaches, plums, apricots, etc, are
being received daily by the car load from Cal
ifornia, and they arrive here in ST. Paul in ex-
cellent condition.
