THE SOUTHERN BANK CASES.

Last evening the arguments upon the ex-
ceptions filed in these cases were brought to
close by Judge J. A. Campbell. His argu-
ment covered the same grounds as those OF
his colleagues upon the point that the liabili-
ty, il any existed of the banks directors,
constituted an asset Of the bank which could
be recovered only by the commissioners ap-
pointed to liquidate its affairs. He reviewed
the causes OF the financial embarrassments
which commenced in 1892 caused the suspen-
sion, In 1887, OF every bank chartered by the
different States, and continued until 1852, with
a view to showing that the series Of free bank
ing acts passed in this State since the latter
date We're intended for the protection of the
public from the evils of an unlimited issue
OF currency, and not In the interests of
depositors.
Upon the conclusion of his argument the
cases were submitted to the courts,

WNNEBAao Cry, July 15.-Another of
those violent rain storms, such as we have
been having of late, commenced here about
3 o'clock this morning, accompanied by the
usual vivid lightning and frightening thun-
der. The rain continued with occasional ces-
sations until nearly noon. During the early
morning storm warehouse near the depot
was struck by lightning, SCATTERING
the building somewhat. The electric fluid
followed a telephone wire from the building
to the mill Office of c. L. Coleman, playing
havoc with the furniture. We have heard
of no damage to crops from this storm, yet
it brought with it strong wind. The pre-
ceding storm, coming from an opposite
direction from the one that damaged corn
and other crops, made right the work of its
predecessor by raising very much the grain
laid flat. Reports have been exaggerated as to
damaged crops. Wheat is turning fast.
Barley harvest is commencing. Sun came
out very hot this afternoon.
Cakes Brothers gave concert last night
here to a large and appreciative audience,
which was duly enjoyed by all.

ANOTHER FIRE.

Il Small Ssn"d0e IN u. W. Field's Store
.StocI: Soaked BY the Water.
Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing box twelve sounded an alarm of fire that
brought the department out on the double
quick. The fire was in the upper portion of
the building occupied by j. w. Field as a
boot and shoe store.
The firemen soon got the fire under con-
troll, and little damage was done to the build
ing. The stock of boots and shoes, and
bankrupt stock of dry goods, was badly
soaked by the water that poured through
the roof. The origin of the fire is unknown
bnt is supposed to have been spontaneous
combustion of lot of rags in the upper
room, occupied as cobbler's shop. The
building is owned by Field but stands or
leased ground. The exact amount of damage
can not be learned until the goods have been
thoroughly overhauled, but will not be very
extensive and is insured for more than
enough to pay all losses. The insurance is
as follows:

ST. PAUL TRADE.
Weekly Revtesv Of the St. Paul Markets.
OFFICE OF THE GLOBE,

OFFICE OF THE GLOBE,
ST.. PAUL, July 10.
A fairly active movement has characterized
the several departments of mercantile trade
during the past week, and for this season of
the year business at the wholesale and jobbing
houses has been exceptionally good. The lat-
ter statement is notably correct regarding the
volume of business transacted at one or two
of the Leading houses, with whom the demand
for goods on order account has never been bet
ter.
As compared with preceding weeks of the
year the grain and produce markets have been
relatively quiet, which no doubt may be
properly ascribed to the prevailing anxiety
with reference to the uncertainty of the crops.
The continuation of the heavy rains and in
termittent spells of intensely warm weather
gave rise to the fears of the wheat being badly
damaged by rust, which in some instances has
indeed been the case, but whatever donbts were
experienced on this score have been fortunately
superseded by the advent of more settled and
favorable weather.
The demand for wheat has been good and
with moderate receipts values have continued
to rule steady. The corn market has been
fairly active but with liberal offerings DO
material change has taken place in values.
The receipts of oats have been fully equal to
a rather brisk demand, while values have ruled
steady at last weeks quotations.. No decided
change may be expected in this market until
some definite idea may be had of the new crop,
when prices will of course be governed accord
ingly.
Business at the leading grocery houses has
been exceedingly active, and for this season of
the year the volume of order transactions ia
altogether unprecedented. The demand
for all descriptions of gooGs is
active and values continue to rule frmer with
u strong upward tendency. The hardware
trade has been active, and with single excep-
ton prices have ruled steady at previous quo
tations.
A decidedly good order demand has obtained
for the summer descriptions of dry goods, and
the leading establishments have enjoyed an
active and very satisfactory weeks business.
The market for all kinds of cotton goods il
firm and the tendency of prices is in the di-
Yectinn Of an advance.
The drug trade has been unusually active, and
the principal houses have rarely enjoyed q
much larger patronage. An idea of the amount
Of business transacted may be obtained when it
is stated that one house received over one hun
dred orders for goods one day during the past
week, which may of course be regarded as ex-
ceptional
A fair trade is reported by the boot and shoe
.esta blishments, but majority of the firms are
still employed in getting stocks in readiness
for the fall trade.
The demand for leather and find
ings is moderatively active with
10 marked change in values. The eastern
demand for hides is active, and all consign-
ments find ready market at the revised quota
tons.
