WEEKLY REVIEW.

The condition of trade in st. Paul is what
might well be expected from the gradual but
continual increase in the volume of business
that has been observed for several weeks.
All departments of business are conscious Of
the decided Improvement. In dry goods
trade is very active for so early in the season.
The favorable expectations spoken of in
these columns two weeks ago are more than
realized Already number of buyers have
made their appearance in our market, and
their purchases, without exception, are lib
eral and general. The order demand has
been very heavy, not only for fabrics, but
also for winter goods, such as f1annelS,
cassimeres, sackng, tricots, dress goods,
canton fannels, underwear, hosiery and fur
nishing goods. The general activity is some
what stimulated by the condition of the mar
ket on cotton and wOolens. The very large
demand has caused manufacturers to advance
all the leading makes of bleached and brown
cottOns. Among them we note that Fruits
and Lonsdales have been advanced to SIC;
Blackstones, re; Cabots, &c; Best Yet, &c,
and other makes in proportion. Lockwood B
fine brown has been advanced to 6%c. Col
ored cottons have also shared in the advance,
Amoskeag ticks having been marked up &c,
Everett and York Denims %c and
Amoskeag and Ellensdale, &c. Woolen
goods are very active, and prominent
makes Of shirting and twilled hannels
were advanced from 5@71a per cent. Goods,
both cotton and woolen, are very scarce, with
manufacturers of every prominent make
sold ahead Of production. Orders can only
be placed for goods at value and in most in
stances. manufacturers decline to guarantee
delivery at stated times. Groceries are very
active, indeed, and orders are received in
large numbers, while collections are very sat-
isfactory. There are no changes in quota
tions of any consequence, and prices are gen.
orally steady. The drug market is very act
i've, indeed, and one of the principal features
of it is the filling Of stock orders for new
stores. The sustained trade at this time, as
has been said before, may be taken as proof
not only of the generally healthy condition
of business in this section, but also of the de-
velopment of the vast tributary regions. The
only region where trade seems much de-
pressed is that section of the Northwest be-
yond the Rocky mountains, which depends on
st. Paul for supplies, and even then Helena
Butte, Spokane Fails etc., doing we'll
Morphine and linseed oil have advanced
Peppermint has declined The changes in
quotations are not many or very important.
Hardware is active, with good collections
The changes III quotations will be found be-
low.
