The New York dispatches of last evening re-
port the dry goods business quiet with manu-
facturers, agents and importers. Cotton goods
quiet, but leading makes steady and unchang-
ed in first hands. Prints, dull and steady.
Printed lawns and wide prints in fair request.
Dress goods quiet. Mems wear, wOolens,
moving steadily on account of back orders,
and prices firm.
The only noticeable features of produce
trade N st. Paul yesterday were lower and
weaker prices for pork and eggs. The large
movement of coarse grains and feed to the new
country continues, and receipts are quite
liberal with prices unchanged.
Wall & Bigelcw's st. Paul circular remarks
that the deliveries of wheat in Chicago yester-
day by the clique were reported small, and all
supposed to have gone right back 1t
was also reported that the clique
bought Friday and Saturday in
Chicago about 400, 900 bushels of May wheat.
The closing prices at Chicago and Milwaukee
were I@5Sc lower than the opening prices of
Monday last, while the decline of the week at
New York was 2111@3c. Exports of the week
from New York, 1000, 900 bushels; from all
sea portsr 2,225, 900 bushels
New York druggists report corner in opium.
1t is said that syndicate has been formed by
Wall street and London spectators, and that
they have been buying for two months all they
could get. They began to buy at 81. SO per
duty 81. There are about 1000 cases in the
world, and each case holds $50 pounds. Of
this stock there are in London 1,700 cases, and
in New York 1900. The coming crop from
Turkey is estimated at 5000 pounds. The av-
erage annual consumption is about G, GOO cases.
If it can hold a corner the syndicat, may put
the price up to $40 or $12 per pound. In war
times the prices were put up by Spectators to
$50 per pound.
The sugar refiners in New York have received
a large number of responses to their circular
asking the cooperation of grocers and whole
sale dealers in sugar to secure suitable legisla-
ton to protect the public against the adultera-
ton of sugar with glucose. From these re-
sponses it appears that the State of Maine is
the only State in which specific statute pro-
hibiting the sale of adulterated sugar exists.
The fine contingent on conviction is a heavy
one, and the mode of procedure very simple
and efficient. In other States, so far as heard
from, there is no law under which parties sell
ing gluclose for sugar can be proceeded against.
The general tenor of the letters may be
summed up as advising the passage of uni
form law in each State so as to protect con-
sumers not alone against adulterated sugar.
but against doctored coffee, tea, breadstuffs
and all other articles used for food. In view
of the unanimity of the opinion expressed in
these answers, the sugar refners propose to
take the initiative in an anti-adulteratiOn
movement and to press for such legislation as
will render it misdemeanor punishable by
fine or imprisonment, or both, to offer for sale
food products that are adulterated, except as
adulterated and for what they actually are.

The Democratic Senators were in caucus to-

Sr. PAUL, april IL.

At the loan agencies business is comparative
ly dull since the farmers have made ready for
their spring work. A considerable part of the
late loans has been to farmers of the southwest
counties who, after five years of drouth and
grasshopper raids, having been encouraged to
resume the cultivation of wheat by the disap-
pearsnce of the grasshoppers and by favorable
weather, have had to borrow money to buy
seed wheat. And, in passing, it is not inappro-
pirate to say, right here, that
the patient courage shown by most of
the people of the southwest counties through
all the discouraging conditions which have sur
rounded them for five years, is most conclu-
sive evidence that those counties have been
most fortunately peopled, and that under Ordi-
narily favorable conditions they will soon be-
come prosperous and wealthy.
At the banks money continues easy, and the
prominent feature of business is the discount
ing of spring bills. Eastern exchange, d per

SPREADING SMALLPOX.

DR.. Ferdinand Meyer, of Madison, ILL.,,
having, as is alleged, vaccinated considera-
bic number of persons in that town with
virus taken from the body of small pox
patient, thereby causing rapid spread of
the disease and securing large number of
patients, having been suspected of the crime,
left Ma ttison for parts unknown. Great in
dignation prevails among the inhabitants,
and, if found, Meyer would probably pay a
penalty Immediately.
TORTURED TO DEATH BY ROBBERS.
CINCINNATI, O., April 10. -Enoch Mass
lander, a bachelor n years old, living alone
on farm in West Virginia, three miles from
Bellaire, O., was found on Wednesday burned
burned to death in his house. A large hole
burned in the floor, but by some means the
fire had been extinguished. The theory of
neighbors is that robbers had tortured him
to death, trying to get him to confess where
his money was. Three years ago three
masked men almost burned him to death for
the same purpose, and it was generally be-
lieved that he had large sum of money
hidden in his house.
STATE SENATOR IN DURANGO.
SAN Francisco, April 10.-At Sacramento
last evening the State Senate directed that
Senator Kane be confined by the sergeant-at
arms until he purges himself from contempt
and also deprived him of all rights as Sena-
tor. The motion to expel him was voted down,
Kane still refuses to tell the name of the
party that he alleges attempted to bride him
with 81 900 to vote for certain bill.
Senator Kane, now in Jail at Sacramento
will probably make no effort for his release
preferring to wait the adjournment which
will occur on the 10th, when he will be SET
at liberty.

Habits of Beavers

traveller in Georgia, recently mot two
beaver trappers from near Rome, in that
State. They have trapped for the varmints
in Alabama, Florida and Tennessee, and
on this trip have set their traps on all the
streams from Rome down as far as the
lower edge OF Jackson county. They had
caught sixteen beaver in one week in
Jackson county alone. they caught five
one night and four another, weighing from
thirty to one hundred and ten pounds each
Some OF the finest skins were five feet
wide. One Of the men informed us that he
had been trapping beavers for ten ye. rs,
and found it quito profitable, and to possess
quite charm for HIM. He uses gum
which, he says, will draw beaver more
than mile The same family, ho SAYS,
will use it for ten miles up and down a
stream, and that the current rcport That
beaver will CUT his own leg, or TO get out
OF trap is mistake. He says a large
beaver will cut smaller one loose, but it
Is impossible for one to cut itself 10 osc, their
neck joints being only three -cights to one
half inch long. lie packs the best meat in
salt and sells it when he returns to Rome,
Where the people pay him ten cents a
pound. sHc says a beaver always cuts a
tree, corn stalk, or anything else they cut
so 1t will fall toward a stream, and one
never cuts bad ear of corn down. He
sets out twenty traps at time, and has
caught, during his career as trapper more
than six hundred beavers. He said that
his gum was so attractive to beavers THAT
he would get the same beaver. in another
trap the same night if he should get away.
lie puts the traps in the water, chained to
small pole, which floats on tho wa or, and
when the beavers get caught they fight the
trap until they arc drowned If it catches a
fore leg, but IL 1t catches q hind deg it runs
under log, and sometimes gets out on tho
bank with float, trap, and all. Beavers
never eat fish, as Is supposed by some, but
eat bark, roots, corn, wheat, oa!s, etc. The
sweet gum is thtir favorl,e. They have
four front teeth that arc very strong, about
an inch and half long and one-half inch
thick. Their tails, with which they fight,
and also uso for trowels in making their
dens, are boiled, and make the very finest
oil, the oil from the tail of common sized
beaver being worth from sixty cents to one
dollar
