Charles S. Rogers, president st. Paul
JObberS' Union:
Although it is little early to prophecy, yet
l look, during the year ahead, for a great
deal better business than we have ever had.
That estimate is based on the prosperous
condition of the farming communities in the
Northwest, and on the attraction to this great
section of u large number of immigrants.
The attention OF the United States and Of
other parts of the world has been drawn par
ucuiarly to our local prosperity. In addition
to that the new manufactures already Sc
cured TO locate here will be the best adver
tlsement jobbers could ask for for the com
ing year.

coming in clear up to our expectations. If
the balance of the year will keep pace with

time during 1891.

Spring orders are coming in lively, but the
immediate wants are not great. Our sixteen
travelling men are all out and doing well.
Inc numerous orders already received from

Henry w. Heine, of Heine & Roake,
produce commissions:
1t is difficult to sum up our market in a
general way this week, as the tone varies in
the departments. In poultry, dressed chick
ems are in demand far in access of the sup
ply: the liberal receipts of dressed turkeys
are finding ready SALE Fresh eggs are very
firm. Held eggs are fairly easy. The best
grades of butter are firm. The demand for
lower grades of butter is only fair. Oranges
are firm at higher prices. Lemons are in
good supply and somewhat lower. Apples
are very dull and the trade sluggish There
is not much demand for cranberries even at
the lower prices.
