Messrs. Drake and Wilder Return but
Don't Tell Much.

Messrs, Drake and Wilder Return but
Don't Tell Much.
Messrs. E. F. Drake, president, and A. ID.
Wilder, director of the st. Paul & Sioux
City railroad, arrived home yesterday noon
from New York city, where they remained to
close up certain details of the negotiations
recently made in that city for the amalgama-
ton of the st. Paul & Sioux City,
Chicago, st. Paul & Minneapolis and
North Wisconsin railroads. The GLOBE has
already given the result in general
terms of those negotiations, their character
being of nature to satisfy our people that
in the arrangements made, st. Paul interests
had been fully preserved. Still there are
many details as to the management, etc.,
that yet remain matters of conjecture and
speculation. In the hope that President
Drake, by the aid of the GLOBE, might be
able to put an end to the speculation, an en-
voy called upon him during the day at his
Office. The envoy was received
with the usual courtesy shown such repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Drake, but to the intro
duetory inquiry he replied that the GLOBE
had already given the public all that could
now be given. The negotiations, he said,
had progressed satisfactorily to the st. Paul
interests, and in few days all matters would
be fully arranged, when all details of public
importance could be stated. Till then
the public must possess themselves in pa
thence, satisfied that everything is working
all right for st. Paul's railroad interests.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Cables quiet and steady.
Our market opened down a shade, then prices
steadily advanced without any particular ami
nation. The bulk of the transactions to-day
has been the transfer of options. Private ad-
vices from over the pond say prices are dull and
Indicative of lower range. This news, and
the very depressed condition of the Eastern
markets, would seem to have an adverse effect
on our trade; but the hard rain of to-day, with
heap of damage to winter wheat crops if it
should turn off hard cold, seems to stimulate
the dropping spirit of the bulls and bears for a
fresh tug at the bloated bag holders Curb,
81. 25 for April.
Corn lame and hardly enough doing to keep
the crowd together. May, 4lc.
Provisions opened lower. The market dragged
until the last half hour of change, when the
big Muldoon injected life into the crowd, and
away prices went booming. There have been
| liberal changes, and the closing is strong at
the advance. April, sIl.S5. Lard steady at
$7.25 for April.
