ST. PAUL PRODUCE.
The produce market during the past week
has been fairly active, and butter has ruled
at good price for the season of the
year. The change was in the direction of
strength, SO far as fancy grades are con-
cerned. The receipts were light and there
was considerable draft made upon storage
stocks in order to supply the demand There
was a good demand also for medium grades,
and the lower grades were comparatively
steady.
In the list Of creameries there was good
call, and the supply seemed to be equal to
the demand. The poorer qualities were mod
erately steady. Coming to the ladies and
stock that Is used for packing, the demand
Is only fair, and of them the offerings were
not large. There is a tendency toward a
frmness in price in connection with the pack
ing OF this grade of commodity.
Eggs have been in high favor. and prices
have been quite firm. There has been good
retail trade in this line and a considerable
call for shipment. The receipts have been
only moderate.
The fruit supply has rarely been excelled
in the st. Paul markets. Everything that
comes in Is good and meets with ready de-
mand. Prices are consequently very low,
but the distribution of fruit of all kinds
during the summer Of 1898 has overtopped
that OF any preceding year, but the business
mas peen conducted on very narrow mar
gin Of profit.
Green vegetables are in the most complete
abundance, and, like fruit are selling at
VerS low rates. The general trade is char
acterized as good, so far as the score of
sales is concerned. but the dealers are GER
talnly making very little money specifically,
put IN the long run. they probably are not
suHerlng to any great extent They are
cneerful and happy. and these are favorable
signs IN ally line Of industry.

from San Francisco, dated July g. that there

London Stock Review.
LONDON, Aug 13.-The results of peace be-
tween the United States and Spain on the
stock exchange are largely overbaianced by
IereDodlng as to the Chinese complications,
but now that parliament has adjourned less
will probably be heard Of China. Prices were
well maintained during the week, considering
the midsummer dullness. There was a gem
eral advance in American railway securities,
the rise of points in St. Paul being the
feature; others rose from to poin.s. South
ems were depressed on account OF yellow
fever. Grand Trunks fell on the dividend an
nouncement, preferred 2s to points, and
guaranteed * point. Trust stocks have come
into favor the rise in American railway Sc
curites helping them. The Hooley revela-
tons have had bad effect upon all industri-
ais. No immediate Withdrawals Of gold for
America are expected, for which reason the
money market is f1rner and rates are not
materially changed.
