PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
Trade in seasonable commodities is mode
rately active. but by no means rushing. The
Lake Superior country is taking about the
usual amount of the necessaries of life. and
the demand from the Northwest. including
Manitoba, is very good, but shipments to the
Black Hills have suddenly ceased. for the
most part, it appearing that those mining re-
gions are plentitully supplied at present. A
fairly active trade is doing with our nearer
nelghbors in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and
generally prices of products most in demand
are steady at about previous quototions.
FLOUR-Eastern orders are at a staud-still
at the moment, because of the troubles be-
tween the railroad strikers and the railroads
east OF Chicago Several large orders for
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Eastern New
York are detained in store until there is some
assurance that the -four can go through with
out danger of fire or contlscation. If the
trouble continues two or three days longer the
shipments will be made by way of Duluth

were two young men, whose career he
had watched with great interest, for the
past fifteen years he alluded to Garland
and Voorhees,. He regarded them AS ri

the most prominent young men at the
