Produce Exchange.

The produce market maintains its activity
aud prices are well sustained. There is nc
change whatever in the quotations and none
! in the general market, except in regard to
poultry, and in regard to this it is important
that dealers in the interior should fully under
stand the situation in St. Paul. The whole
market is overloaded with dressed poultry.
Commission men all through st. Paul have
tons and IONS of it, with almost no demand at
all. The weather is very warm, the mer-
curry indicating IS degrees above. with
the snow and ice melting on our
streets. Unless there is a decided change to
very much colder weather than we now have.
tons and tons of spoiled stock will have to be
thrown away 1t cannot be kept and it can
not be sold here now at even the present low
quotations. Dealers should put on the brakes
with vigor and determination. The forward
ing of dressed poultry to st. Paul should be
instantly stopped. There is no use 10 send it
here for the present. as it cannot be disposed
of and is liable to prove dead loss. If
dealers in the interior still see fit to forward
it to this point. they must do so at their own
risk, and must not growl if they get no salts
