= MEssRs. ERICKSON, PETERSON, &
Co., have commenced operations in wag-
on-making on an extensive scale. They
expect to get up one hundred for the
season supply, and are compelled TO
rush their work to meet the demand
which is crowding them already. They
are, also, getting up an unusually large
supply of spring and platform wagons,
for which there is an increasing demand.
The rims or fellows Of all the wagons
made by this firm are boiled in linseed
OIL, to give them increased durability by
preventing their absorption Of moisture
and consequent swelling and shrinking.

We don't antend to attempt descrip-
tions hereafter. The St. Paul Dispatch
commissioner" beats US by so many
points that we feel ashamed of our mod
est efforts Here is something he says
about Trout Glen: :|The little brook
with it's clear sparkling waters in the
glen twists and turns with snch tortuous
sinuosities that thousands of yards of
crystal liquids are disposed Of within
an area of a few feet And, again:
"a visit to Trout Glen would well re-
pay any one who is fond Of beautiful ru-
raj scenery, to say nothing of the attrac-
lions Of the fnny tribe in their cradle
and the circumscribed nurseries of their
tender age, and the sportive aquatic
gambo}s of the more matured denizens
of shaded streams and CLASSY lakes.''
Now, isn't that pretty? We are sorry,
but we confess that descriptions are
not our forte. We can't parallel the
above.
The MARkETs.-It is a general fea-
ture of the commercial columns of our
exchanges to complain Of dull business,
and in this particular, Red Wing is only
like the rest of towns and cities east and
west. What has added to this dullness
during the past week, has been the bad
roads. The snow Of Monday has i'm
proved the sleighing; and to-day good
deal Of wheat is arriving.
Wheat is steady at $l.O0 for No. l
and Csc. for No. 2; with some lots of
extra good at $1.o2@$l.o3 for milling.
Corn is quoted at 45@60c., the latter
figure being nominal for choice lots.
The quantity received is generally poor
and sells at the latter figure.
Rye is quoted at 60c.
Flour $500 per hundred for the local
trade.
Dressed pork is still quoted at $40
$3.50, with light receipts.
OUR correspondent is wrong in sup
posing that we endorse the call for an
Independent party convention because
we published it. We published it as
matter Of news and for the accommoda-
ton of those Of our readers who favor
tina, movement, and who have a right to
expect that we will give them all such
documents. In good time we shall, also,
publish the calls Of the republican and
democratic committees. We have said
several times, and we see no cause to
change our opinion, that we do not ap-
prove Of an independent move this
year, because it can hardly amount to
anything else than a strengthening Of
the probabilities Of democratic success,
