WEEKLY REVIEW.

While there has been no marked or distinct
i've change i'll the market there has, on the
whole, been a general strengthening up in
all lines. While this is true, some lines have
felt the effects of the serious railroad troub-
les much more than others, and there is no
doubt but that the uncertainty in the
business world caused by these railroad
troubles has seriously interfered with
trade all through the country. In some
lines it has been felt here. There is good
deal of activity in hardware. Nails have ad-
vanced 15c, and our jobbers have followed
the manufacturers in the advance. Wire is
very firm with an immediate advance in
prospect All staple heavy goods, it is ex-
freight rates are put back by the railroads on
the 26th. The stocks of screws pur-
chased at low prices and held by the
jobbers, have very generally gone into con
sumption, and many OF the merchants who
have been offering screws at cut prices are
now under the necessity of replenishing their
stocks at existing quotations. The result has
been an evident Strengthening of the market,
which is thus becoming free from the de-
moralization which has characterized it for
a long time. The screw manufacturers
also, who have been waiting for the
absorption of the old stocks are taking
advantage of the present condition of things,
and without the announcement of an adj
withdraw extras and to hold the goods as
nearly as may be to circular rates. The re-
suit is perceptibly improved tone in the
market, with the prospect that prices are to
be more regularly maintained in the future
Last months business in drugs, etc., was I'M
usualls heavy, the largest ever known
in ST. Paul, at this season, and March bust
ness is still heavier. The demand for field
seeds is increasing. Heavy shipments of
freights are being received from the East, as
our drug houses never lose the advantage of
low freights to stock up heavily, and thus
can always sell lower than purchases
can be made elsewhere. In fact, the
drug business is booming, and the
new years start is the best ever made.
The city trade as well as the country trade is
growing and our leading drug house has
three telephone lines in use all the time now
for the convenience of city business. The
principal changes in price are in carbon oil.
turpentine, morphine, gum arabic, which are
little lower. Golden seal root and epecac
root have advanced. Other departments are
without much change.

The market at Minnesota Transfer yester-
day was rather quiet. The arrivals were
light owing to stormy weather, but there are
advices of good cattle coming forward in the

considerably ahead of the supply and the

looked for. during the remainder of the
