Dillon o,Brien,s Good work.

The Boston Post of Feb. 1, gives the fol-
lowing account of the emigration work of
Dillon O'Brien, ESQ.,, of St. Paul, in that
city:
Last evening the members of the Suffolk
County Catholic Total Abstinence and other
societies gave reception in the hall of the
st. James Young Mems Catholic Total Absti-
nence Society, at 112 Beach street, to Dillon
O'Brien, agent of the Catholic Emigration
Beareau of Minnesota. Father Hugh Roe
O'Donnell presided, and made an address of
welcome on behalf of those who gave the
reception. MI. O'Brien was then introduced.
He first adverted to the effects of machinery
on labor, whereby the artisan finds it diff
cult if not impossible, to live. He said that
he came as an rishman and Catholic to
talk to Irishmen and Catholics on the ques
ton of emigration to the State from whence
he comes. The question of Catholic coloni-
cation is no light one, said he, for the desire
of those of the same race and faith to live
in the same neighborhood, is one that must
be gratifed. While it is not likely that the
hard times are to continue indefinitely, it is
certain that the flush times, when every man
who desires work can get it, will never re-
turn, for the laborsaving machinery will go
on increasing. The result will be that men
will be driven to the land for maintenance
No man who has good home and
can support it should leave it, but if man
sees his means of livelihood slipping away
from him, if he is adapted to agricultural
life he should leave the city or town and turn
to the land, which offers to him a home
where he is his own master, a home that fills
him with honest pride and self-respect, a
home where the poor man can raise his chill
dren away from the vices and dangers of the
city. To secure such a home man must
have some capital, either in money or mus
Gle. Mr.. O'Brien said of the soil of Mime
sofa that it is very productive; its climate is
cold in winter, but it is very equable and
very healthy. TO the man coming to Mime
sofa we promise plenty of hard work, good
health while doing it, and an independent
home if he will strive for it. In one year
the Swift county colony numbered $50 Irish
families as actual settlers; $50 other
families will settle in the
same colony in the spring and
in Bigstone county, adjoining, fifty other
families are soon to settle. On the Iowa
border the bureau has $4,000 acres of land
nearly all of which is occupied. A man re-
quires $500 in order to go on to homestead
land. That sum will ensure him support
for one year and start that will set him
going, and if he is determined not to fai
5000 will be sufficient. Mr.. O'Brien was
!, listened to with close attention and was fire.

WeeIcly lteUietc of the st. Paul Markets.
The little snow in the early part of the week slim.
aated trade little in all it's branches but it was only
spasmodic effort which soon subsidized into the old
sluggish state. The arrivals of wheat have neither
advanced nor fell below the receipts Of last week, and
prices have remained the same. There has been q
good demand for hard, good new corn, and the sup
plies have been ample. Tho soft corn reported on
the market last week has been all sold at prices rang
ing from 20125c, feeders thinking it cheaper than
bran. Oats have been in demand for the lumber
camps and the Northern Pacific. Trade in -four has
been slow with depression in prices. The increased
supply of new mil-stuffs has depressed prices in
ground feed; new is selling for 16h@17hc. The
supply of hogs has been equal to the demand and
prices are weakening 4c for good heavy. The warm
weather has affected the meat market considerably
and dressed beef is selling for the same price as live
cattle. Mild days have also affected eggs arrivals
are plentiful and prices lower-12hc for lined and
14c for fresh, with very dull market. There is
nothing new in butter and stock is accommodating.
Mess.pork is dull at $l1.5O; hams 9a@10c; shout
ders &c. Lard, bbl., $4,000; kegs. 9hc; pails 1Oc.
Grocery houses have done slightly better business
the past week, but the roads greatly against much
improvement. Dry goods and notion men also re-
port little heavier sales. Trade has also improved
slightly with home manufactured boots and shoes.
Trade in furs and hides has been very dull both here
and below.
The drug market has been less active during the
week past, but the amount of business done still
larger. The failure of John F. Henry, Currant &
Co., affected for the moment the supply of some ar
tcles which they controlled their assignee is not
selling The other Eastern failures in this line in no
way affects st. Paul interests. AS rule class of
houses stand better, East IL West than those drug
houses doing legitimate business. The general
tone of the market is dull with few changes in price,
but the disposition is to hold rather than to sell I'M
profably stocks not large at any Of the great
centres of importation and distribution. The ad-
vantages of direct importation, now fully used by
leading st. Paul houses, is giving them trade
which has never before come here. Contracts for
lead, oil and glass now being made by the large
Halle have
