VII Resume business Tc-Dnu.

While the flames were a. their height Mr..
Finch, with characteristic enterprise, had
engaged new quarters. Their carpet and
house goods department takes possession
this morning of the new Sherman block
store at the corner of Sixth and Wabashaw,
the official announcement of which appears
in our advertising columns. The dry
goods and notions department and offices
will be established in the Morton & Moore
block on West Third street between Waba-
shaw and st. Peter streets. large number
of men were employed all the night through
in clearing out the Morton & Moore building
and in ascertaining the localities and collect
ing the goods which were saved from
the flames and which were stored
in business houses and dwellings for
squares away from the fire. The prompt
ness. of the movement for continuing the
business with the least possible interruption.
and the energy with which preparations for
reopening were continued through the night
shows that the great disaster has certainly
not dishsartened or weakened the great firm
which has for years stood in the lead of St.
Pauls Wholesale trade.

A Came that DidH't Fork
Chicago Times, March G..

The proposition to make Milwaukee ware
house-receipts of wheat and other produce
regular in this market, excited great deal
of comment and criticism on tho board of
trade on yesterday. There was scarcely an
operator on the regular Change, on the
call-hoard, or in Exchange alley, who did
not talk about the projec. and speculate up
on the result of such O course, on the part of
the board of directors. Those deeply in
terested in the wheat deal, eagerly looked up
the warehouse laws of Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, and those of the bull side of the market,
at least, found some comfort in the fact that
the business of warehousing is, in boh
States. SO stringently regulated by State
laws, that it would be impossible to make
any different conditions for it before the
present pressing emergency has passed
away.
Apetition requesting the directors of the
board to take such action as would make
Milwaukee receipts regular here, was drawn
up and circulated on the board on Yesterday
1t YVES signed by about dozen houses, but
from the first it was easy to see that the pro-
posal elected the i'll will, and indeed the rid
icule, of the great majority of the members.
After about dozen bonafde signatures had
been obtained the paper was signed in sport
by score or more of operators, who put
down bogus names with every sort of con-
temptuous criticism attached. Finally the
petition was SO splashed and blotted with
ink as to be almost unacceptable, and
thus its brief life ended in ridicule and dis
aster.
1t is said by those who have given the
matter some attention, that the State law of
Wisconsin, in reference to the registry of
grain receipts, is sach that it wanld render
their negotiation in another State illegal and
practically impossible. No definite action
has been taken in the matter.

sold nothing whatever except en- prescription.

The extent of the loss to the firm cannot

tains portions of the stock which was car
ried out, and it will be an immense task to

that they had purchased very heavily of

The Carpet Department.

Here new danger presented itself. The
carpet department, northward of the main
building Of the firm, from which it is
divided by hre-proof wall, showed signs CT
ignition, aud by the time the second floor
had become fairly ablaze there were unmis-
taxable evidences that the whole structure
would so down. Good Judgment had pro-
vailed, however, and the main stock of this
department had been removed, in a
damaged condition, to the store on the
corner of Fifth and Jackson streets. A few
lots of goods of small value were abandoned
but the most valuable goods, consisting of
Administer, Brussels and Belgian carpets
were in the main rescued. The fire made
but slow progress in this department of the
house, but it ragged with such fierceness that
all efforts of the fire department failed TO
make any perceptible effect upon it. Pro-
tected upon either side by fire walls there
was little chance of the flames procuring
draft enough, and consequently there was
but little uproar during the progress of its
destruction.
