ST. Paul Markets.
ST. PAUL, August 10, 1877.
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.


Trade is beginning to pick up little, but
in what particular direction, or affectlng what
particular interest it would be difficult to
specify There is "a considerable business
doing with the various numbering districts OF
Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as with
Lake Superior and the Northwest, but the
amount is not to be compared to the volume
of trade which frequently pours in from all
these sources. Dealers are not expecting a
brisk business Just at present, as the dull
season-the season between summer and fall
is not vet passed. With two or three ex-
ceptons. there have been no sharp changes
in the marketvalue of produce.
FLOUR-Flour is again declined, as it of
right should, because of'the decreased cost OF
wheat, and of the'improbabllty OF rise IN
the near future The usual Eastern order
business has been done at the reduced rates,
and further reductions are expected within
day or two a considerable amount OF East
ern and Southern ordered flour is now going
by way of Duluth, it having been ascertained
that the time is but q little longer, While
freight charges are less We now quote

is scarce and quotable at $2.5OG2.75 IT, sack.
WAEAT-Farmers have been too busy in
the harvest field TO take time to bring wheat
to market, and of course receipts are light, as
they were expected to be. Such lots as has
been received are of very fine quality, the
berry being plump round and heavy,
and grading No. l, without ques-
ton This is not universally the ease, how
ever, as many wheat growers will find W hen
their crop comes to be submitted to the test
of the scales There has been good deal of
,shrinkage since the hot, dry period COM
menced, and while the yield will be very
large. aggregating 22.OeO,OO0 to $4,000, OO0

average No. .. 1t is supposed that the crop
is now entirely cut, and i'll a few more days
will be thoroughly secured from whatever
weather may happen, as farmers were too
severely punished two years ago, when the
rains descended and caught them unpre-
pared, to allow their splendid crop OF wheat
of this year to remain unstacked-

second to none, should not be repre-

Crops are looking very fine, and the
farmers are improving the fine weather
in the harvest field. Oats and fax are
heavy and are mostly cut There has
been but little wheat soWn in this
town, but what was now looks we'll.
The chinchbug has done but little
damage. The potatoes and their enc
mics, the bugs, are running q race for
life. We think, however, with the aid
Of the farmer the potatoes are getting
little ahead. Corn is doing well, but
is in'need of rain.
There has been considerable building
in the town this. summer. Mrs. W.
Bulamore has built a new house and
reshingled the old one.
Messrs. O. and c. Bulamore, J. Flett,
and J. Hughes, have 'remodeled their
barns, and are doing them up brown"
Somers Station, formerly known as
Burr Oak, is getting to be quite a bust
ness place. Besides having the c. M.
& St. Paul railroad through it, deliver
ing mail and express twice day, and
having four passenger trains stop
daily, the Hughes Bros. have erected a
large hay barn with press, where they
press and ship all the hay the farmers
can spare. They also act as agent for
the Bradley reaper.
L. Cook has built a dwelling house
aRd store where he runs in opposition

Just across the street is Pete's boot

sions of his customers. a ~

RAIN, which has been very MICH
needed for some time, came i'm refresh
ing showers Monday afternoon and
Tuesday forenoon. Though the rain
came in showers and at different
times in different places they were ex-
tensive, but more bountiful at some
places than others. The rain was less
bountiful, it is said, in some parts of
Kenosha county than in Kenosha and
even here more would have been ac-
ceptable and beneficial. ~

COUSIN WILL.

BY PHILIP MORSE
Istrolled last night in musing mood,
Rejecting on my lonely state;
Till, wearied out at last, paused
And leaned upon garden gate.
The old moons mellow radiance hung
In golden mists among the trees,
Faint odors, borne from distant flowers,
Ebbed idly on the evening breeze.
AS thus stood, absorbed in thought,
| pressed against the gate toe hard,

o found myself within the yard.
A form came gliding down the walk -
Solf arms embraced me, as, perplexed,
stood one blissful moment, While
A sweet voice sO0thed my ear the next

20 sir, how could you keep SO still!
When all the time i1aolD you knew
thought you were my cousin WILL

These stars are moons, OF rather months

And two of these have calmly shone
Upon our welded life. 1t quite
Surprises me to think Of it.
And she is queenly, tall and fair,
With lustrous eyes, and such wealth

$50 late?" I've just come from the club;
My wife sits silent, but light,

Shall wish it had been cousin Will.

LAKE NAvIGATION.- The marine
interests Of Kenosha are increasing
every year and each succeeding season
sees some new improvement in our har-
Dor. The general government Will
this year do a large amount OF dredg-
ing, while property owners around the
harbor will add several hundred feet
of dockage. The business of the
Goodrich Transportation Co. at this
port will this year show a large excess
over previous years both in freight and
passenger traffic and the company
promise greater Accommodations as soon
as business will fairly warrant it.
The Lake Superior Line also contem-
plate making calls at this port. The
lumber business at this point has of
late years assumed large proportions
and is steadily increasing, and expert
ence has shown that lumber can be
handled more advantageously from
Kenosha than from Chicago. AS all
the lumber SHIPPED from this point
comes to us by water, the demands for
increased harbor facilities has grown
with the trade. In this connection
may also be mentioned the already
large wood and coal trade which
forms large item in our lake trade.

TIfB RINGING BELLS.

In England, chimes of bells are now set
up in such q way that peal Of six can be
easily played by ono person. 1'ail ham
mers nre suspended between the mouths Of
the bells, out Of the way Of the swing of tho
latter, and, by system Of pulleyS the
ropes connected with these hammers aro
brought down in parallel lines TO p manual
fixed on the belfry wall When this manual
is put into gear for uso, the ropes are all
frightened and the hammers thereby raised
nearer to the bells, so That q slight pull ut
each rope causes the hammer to strike the
bell BY means, therefore, of this simple ar
rangemcnt, one person, standing iE front
of the manual, can readily chime all the
bells by merely pulling rope after rope, oT
be can play tune by varying the lingering
of the ropes.
