Pending the present movement Of crops and IN,
opening of fall trade business at the banks s rather
light. but the arrangements making by customer
for expected needs indicate an unusually active fall
with large demands for money. Rates Of exchange
nomiually unchanged.
The disastrous fire of Monday morning at 6rst
caused some apprehension that the commercial i'm
portance Of St. Paul might be lesstDed by the with.
drawal Of one both Of the houses burned out But
both have already made preparations for resuunjne
business on an undiminished tcsle and both are al
ready accepting aud filing orders, il int upt-
ion had occurred In short time both houses

business as thoee of which they were unexpected
ly deprived

Very little of the crop grain ia yet coming to

that unless the grain Is injured between cutting and
