St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-08-05

funeral ceremonies OF Gen. Grant, the COM
mission men have done very active business
during the week It would surprise a great
many people 10 know how extensive the bust
ness OF our commission men is in fruits and
vegetables, especially the latter. In the sin
gle Item or green corn, shipments are made
daily from st. Paul to hundreds of customers
who are doing business up in the Northwest.
In some cases these shipments of green corn
and vegetables arc made by express, which
makes them pretty expensive. Still they are
needed and must be had, cost what they may.
TneSe shipments SOD all the way through the
northern part OF Minnesota and Dakota. For
some days oranges and lemons have been
rather scarce, aud no California oranges have
been IN town for the last week Lemons
have never been so scarce and
high in st. Paul as they now are
and it is altogether probable that they will go
still higher. We have been well supplied all
the season with an abundance of choice
fruits. The supply OF new hay is quite lib
eral and quotations are becoming settled and
run for bsled hay 81 .5O6lS-O0, while timothy
is held at $40. In regard to grain, the ele-
vators have been doing comparatively little,
as it is about the season 10 run low in pre-
paratiou for the new crop, which may be ex-
pected shortly. Usually it is the case that
by the first or August the elevators are to-
tally empty. Now, on the first of the month
they contain 500, 0S3 bu, and 1,SO0 bu of bar
ley. During the week they received IL 200 bu
street receipts have been exceedingly light,
and the mills have depended entirely on the
elevators Wheat has been weak aud
declining all tho week. 1t is dull,
very dull, and not likely to improve
for the present. Corn has been rather firm
though it has declined some and is now steady
ut 43c- Oats, however, have been weak. Hay
IS in better supply and is improving in quail
ity and price. Eggs have advanced within
the last day or two &c. 1t is generally con-
s1aAf 1..aN,r
crop of wheat throughout the country as we
had last year, and those who have been tray
cling through Illinois report that the crop all
through the southern part of that state is
ruined. In Minnesota IL is Il great deal better.
Some injury has been done in the southern
part of the state but in the north and north
west part the crops are good, and will bring
the yield up 10 a reasonably satisfactory
point. Butter is still very sick. Hot weather
fntcrferes very seriously with trade in this
line, and the quality has been very ma
terially affected. Good prices can be
obtained for really fancy, but with
the hot weather we have been
having it is difficult 10 secure the very best.
Exporters are buying next to nothing, they
claiming that the quality is too poor and will
not stand transportation, the quality deteri-
Grating so fast that they are sure to suffer q
loss on shipments. Most of the fine that
comes in is sold 10 the local trade. This
means, however, selecting a tub here and
there, and then therematns of a consignment
are left TO sell ut whatever the quality will
warrant in getting. In cheese nothing of
special interest has been developed, and
everything about the market indicates quiet
ness, the usual quietness of the summer
months. What trade there is is in choice
grades, and common qualities and skinned
cheese of all grades are very much neglected.
Stocks Of cheese are not very heavy, and the
receipts are moderate.
