A committee was lately appointed by
the board of trade Of Chicago for the
purpose of soliciting subscriptions for the
relief OF furnishing people In the south.
That committee has finished Its labors
and reported that they could do next to
nothing. Their success was so small
that they declined to state the amount
which had been collected. twas moved
and carried by the board that the sub
scribers be refunded the amount Of their
subscriptions. 1t was subsequently as
I eertained that the whole amount was
S225. Mr.. Carter II. Harrison. Of Chi
I eago, undertook voluntarily to raise a
I fund for the south. He likewise failed,
and he publishes a card proposing to re-
turn to subscribers the meagre amounts
he received rather than forward them Ia
the name Of Chicago.
A funny suit is in progress before the
superior court at Cincinnati. Not long
ago w. s. Merrill & Co., manufacturing
druggists of that city, instructed a cor
respondent in KentGekyto send them an
indefinite amount of sassairas pith.
The man addressed hired a large number
of women and children, and ia a short
time had loaded three fistboats with sas-
safras pith and delivered them to the
astounded druggists in Cincinnati. The
latter refused to pay the bill Of nearly
S6000f and they have accordingly been
sued for the amount.
All accounts from the lumber regions
of the north are good and represent that
there will be a full supply another sea-
son. In both the lake and river regions
workmen have had plenty to do az fair
prices, while there has been a fail of
snow neither too heavy or light to assist
operations. The lumbermen say More
logs were putin at Oconto last week tina
in any other week during the winter.
/ The 1'enomenee Herald says that log
ging In that section isstiH good, and tue
/ Kewanee Enterprise says that the log
cling winter has. been, on the whole, a
good one, and the lumbermenare coming
out of the woods. Travel on the river is
still good and safe. The advices gener-
ally go to show that the supply OF logs
got out is fully up TO the average, and
Fthat the cry Of short crop" was pre-
mature.
The st. Paul Mimi Press saws 1t is
a noticeable feature Of the times that the
grain markets at all points from Minne-
sofa to the seaboSTd continue to advance.
Wheat and corn at Chicago and New
York have been quick to recover from
the depression produced by the strIn-
gency in money, and prices are now
nearly up to the highest quotations Of
January. Flour is in very short supply,
and has risen from the low points in
February TO about 2l2 5Oper barrel in all
the markets of Minnesota, and at the
east the advance has even exceeded that
for certain brands. The supply Of wheat
in the hands of farmers proves to he
shorter than was supposed, and this fact
developes itself the more strongly as we
approach seed time. Dealers in -four
aud grain are always On the alert at this
time of the season 70 shape their calcu-
latiOn upon what surplus remains with
farmers, and the deliveries f.r the past
three weeks show a most decided scarcity
in the wheat growing districts hence
the buoyancy in prices. Here and at
Minneapolis 81 10 to 81 20 is freely p&id
for good wheat, aid at st. Cloud an ad-
vance of fifty cents per bushel fails to
bring in an increased supply. Within a
few days past quotations in the Sank
valley have been raised in like proper

obliged to run on half time. The
