THE GREA LUMBER TRADE.
st. Paul Fast Gaining Ground as the
Best Lumber Market in
the Country.
THE WHOLEp
RADE

1t is difficult to keep pace with the great
growth of the wholesale trade of st. Paul.
The increase is so rapid that it swells the bust.
ness to proportions of cities five times the
size of st. Paul. In groceries, dry goods and
boots and shoes the increase piles up
by the million, and in all other branches
it Is relatively as large. The railroad
development places such vast extent of ter.
ritory within our reach that there scarcely
seems to be any limit to the trade. The pala-
tial business blocks which have been erected
for our merchant princes the past year are at
once an index and a monument of the trade.
The constant influx of new business houses
demonstrates that the name and fame of st.
Paul as jobbing center has gone
abroad, and the tidlngs are attracting men OF
enterprise and capital. The fact that no prom
inent jobbing house ever failed in s.. Paul,
and that even the smallest are staunch and
trim In their business shows the advantages
of doing this work in this city.
Without exception, every jobber called upon
by the GLOBE reported large increase in his
business. This increase ranged from 20 to
30 per cent. While it is impossible to obtain
exact figures of the wholesale trade fair
approximation can be secured. It is, how.
ever, impossible to ascertain all of the whole.

The Opera Last Night.

A brilliant audience assembled at the Oh r,
house last night to witness Gounod's eat
opera of Faust, as presented by the Abbott
English opera company, with Miss Abbott in
the leading role. The curtain rose prom pity
on time and the audience composed itself for
the unraveling of score than which there Is
none more replete with delicious melody ia
the range ofmusical compositions.
The performance proceeded smoothly until
the end of the second act, point where the
revelations Of sentiment and sound had already
awakened genuine enthusiasm, when
a scene transpired that was far
removed from being in the bill
Directly after the curtain went down, ana
when Miss Abbott. Valentine Fabuini the
chief tenor, and Mr.. Conley appeared in front
of the footlights in acknowledgment to the
plaudits of the audience, the prima donna
and tidy little speech. She said that it deeply
panied her to announce that she was
undergoing such extreme physical agony that
it would be quite impossible for her to pro-
coed with her iole. The st. Paul audiences
had always received her so kindly, and she ha
always felt so warmly attached to them, that
she hoped they would not consider she was
actuated by any motive but the direst necessity.
Miss Rosewald, she continued, had kindly
reparation for her unfortunate withdrawal,
she would sing the "Swanee River" while the
setting was put in order for the next act
A shade Of regret passed over the audience,
more out of sympathy for her misfortune,
however, than the unexpected loss of what
would have proven an artistic treat.
just before the next act the sweet-voiced
little Diva appeared and, supporting her form
against chair, she sang the sweet and beau
tiful old ballad to a measure of melody tn It
could hardly have been surpassed. although
the effort cost her so much pain.
In the succeeding acts Miss Julie Rosewald
enacted the role of Marguerite. Her voice, a
charming soprano of great compass, fexibii-
enacted the part in manner that left but lit
tie to be desired.
In the first two acts Miss Abbott displayed
the magnetic power that has made her SO ia
nous, the love scene between Marguerite
and Faust, Valentine Fabrini, being particu
larly fine in song, display and sentiment.
As Mephisto, Mr.. Comfy sang and exacted
the sinister tempter to perfection. His Per-
Torrance, as well as some of the others. 10
worthy CT extended notice, did space permit
The role of Faust, as portrayed by Fabrini,
was finely sung and acted Some of his pas
sages were lacking IN fire and force.
AS Siebel, Miss Annandall displayed the fine
range OF splendid contralto voice. The Val
entne of Mr.. Stoddart did that geptleman's
vocal attalnmants and dramatic skill great
credit. There were several fine duets, trios
and quartettes and the orchestratiOn was
good.
To-day the company will give "Marltans"
at the matinee and the ''Chimes of Normandy"
at the evening performance, with Miss Abbott
as Mignonette: !.

CIGAR AND TOBACCO MARKET.

The tobacco crops of the East and South
have been short and Of inferior quality during
the past year. Wisconsin, however, produced
q good crop and Of very fine quality, and man .
ufactures of fine grade are now generally of
Wisconsin, Connecticut, or kentucky growth.
Cigar-makers' stock, of all grades, now rule
high, and the prospect at this time Is favora-
BILE to very decided advance IN all grades Of
tobacco and Its manufactures, especially In
manufacturers common stock. The cigar
market now ranges from $40 to $50 per thous.
and, with very active demand for medium
grades. The years business has been profita-
able to both jobbers and manufacturers, and,
as far as reached by GLOBE representatives,
shows an increase over the business Of 1880 of
g. per cent. We do not pretendto give
the exact figures of either the jobbing or
manufacturing cigar and tobacco business Of
st. Paul for the past year for the simple rea-
son that it was not attainable. But the resume
We make is reliable, although not covering, in
all probability, over thirty five per cent Of the
actual business done In this line during the
yeaI. The aggregate manufacture Of cigars,
a. far az reported, was s, 615 $780, and the sales
reaches 8, 915, 900. The cash sales reported az.
gregate $S04, 000, but number Of firms failed to

GRAIN TRADE.

The partial failure of the grain crops dur.
Ing tho past season In other states has caused
wheat and the coarse grains to rule high in
this market. The corn crops of Nebraska
and Iowa and South and East of these states
were at least 80 per cent. below the usual
yield, and Notwithstanding the exceptionally
good yield In our own state the ruling prices
in this market have been in excess of 1880.
The corn crop of Minnesota during the last
year was, considering the acreage put in,
largely in excess of the crops of either Ne
braska or Iowa. Corn has ruled at from 100
800 per cent higher during the last year in
Nebraska than In 1880. The bulk of Iowa and
Nebraska corn has gone south during the
year, and, compared with former years the
receipts from these states In this market
have been lighter owing to high prices
and the large crop raised In this state. The
shortage in the oats and barley crops of ad-
joining states has caused high prices to rule
here, Notwithstanding the yield in Minnesota
was sufficient to meet the home demand.
The oats and corn brought into this market
come general ly from Iowa and are shipped to
the logging camps and the Territories west.
The receipts Of wheat have during the year
aggregated 5,4SS, OFT bushels. OF this about
2,7OO, 600 bushels were handled by our ele-
vators; 1,55S, $40 bushels shipped on Eastern
orders without breaking bulk on arrival here,
and about z, 000, 600 bushels handled by our
commission merchants, the total value being
a, $500.
There was handled in this market
during the year 4,720,e45 bushels of coarse
grain. OF this amount 1,446, 045 bushels were
handled by the st. Paul Warehouse and Ele.
vator company; about 100000 bushels re-
ceived and shipped east on orders without
breaking bulk, and 1,780, 400 bushels handled
by our commission merchants. The aggre-
gate value of the coarse grains thus handled
In this market being $2,3O7, O42.
The st. Paul Elevator company received
about 49,, 1888 bushels of fax seed, and shipped
90, S82 buthels. There was bought by st. Paul
dealers also about 400, 900 bushels, and ship
ped on order without breaking bulk. The
value of the fax seed handled during the year
was about $3.50, 0;and as last years experience
has proved that fax seed can be safely shipped
in bulk, this will no doubt become an i'm
portant feature in our trade during the COM
ing year.
Last years business has been satisfactory
to our elevator men and dealers, and as we
note no changes in houses engaged lip this line,
nor single failure to meet promptly their
business obligations, we feel that st. Paul
grain man have made record during the past
year second to no interest Represented In the
commerce Of our city.

The Plumbers Blowout.

The journeymen plumbers, whose annual
ball took place at Pfeifer's hall last night,
proved themselves to be as much at home
while engaged in worshiping at the altar OF
Terpsichore, as when soldering up leak in a
bursted waterpipe and preparing a leak that
would need repairing short time after the
completion of the first. At 9 o'clock the
order of dance was commenced with the grand
march, led by Mr.. Jos. Ellles and lady,
followed by nearly two hundred couple,
and from that time until the "wee small
hours of the morn dancing was in order
without interruption, excepting to respond to
the call to supper, which occurred at mid.
night. The entire order, consisting Of twen-
ty.flve dances, was carried out to the strains
Of music furnished by the Great Union band.

Oratorio of Esther.

The second rendition of the oratoriO last
night at Clinton Avenue M. E. church, West
St. Paul, was greeted by much larger aud.
fence than the preceding evening. There
was marked improvement among all the solo
parts, several of whom received an en-
thusiastic encore. A very pleasant
surprise was prepared for Mr.. c.
n. Cakes, the director of the society,
who was Unexpectedly greeted with utter
silence by pianist and chorus at the raising If
the curtain in the first act, when the solo
singers, headed by Mr.. Ed. F. Barrett, came
upon the stage and presented him with a
neatly engraved baton as testimonial OF
their regard and esteem for him as their d.
rector. The present was received by the
director in o few well couched words, ex-
pressive of the surprise and gratitude he felt.
The final tableaux was finely set
eff with stage lights, which
reflected the brilliant costumes finely.
The society's president, Rev. David Morgan,
took occasion to thank The audience for their
respectful attention and liberal patronage, and
was responded to by Capt. Starkey,. who per-
sonally, and on the part OF the audience. re-
ouested the society, through their president,
to repeat the oratorio on tonight, as he re-
marked there were many who were unable to
attend thus far, and who would like to witness
the entertainment; and, as the society had
their stage fixtures and costumes
he felt that they owed it to themselves after
their hard study and complete success to re-
ceiye further benefit. The president accept
ed the compliment on the part OF the soclety
and assured the captain that they would be
pleased to respond to so courteous an appeal,
and would give the oratorio third time on
this Saturday evening, when the admission
price would be lowered to Is cents.

and others interested that the Canadian
Pacific will have three points of advan-
tage, viz: First, the road will ultimately
cost the owners little or nothing, the land
and money grants being about equal to
the cost of building the whole line. Sec.
ond, it will have the carrying of British
and Asiatic mails, ensuring direct con-
nection with the most important and
about all the commercial lines and cities
Of the Pacific. Third, it will finally be
the shortest of transcOntinental lines.

Chteao Mtlsvaukee & St. Paul.

The construction operations of this
company during the year 1881, which are
most interesting to st. Paul and Mime
sofa, have been in the Hastings & Dakota
division. These include the completion
of the Benton cutoff in Minnesota, CIV
ing st. Paul and Minneapolis direct con-
nection with the division, and practically
making st. Paul its eastern operative
terminus; the completion Of the western
extension from Bristol, OAK, to Aberdeen
on the James river; the completion of
the James river valley line forty miles
north and thirty-three miles south from
Aberdeen; and the completion of branch
from Millbank (west of Big Stone City,
fifteen miles into the Sisseton reservation.
This latter branch will probably be ex-
tended northwest to the James river, OF
to the Northern Pacific; the James river
valley line will probably be extended north
to jamestown, and south to connection
with the eompany's Northern Dakota and
Iowa lines; and the main line Is to be ex-
tended westward to the Missouri, or to
connection with the company's Black
Hills line.
Next in local importance is the line be-
tween Saltwater and Hastings, partly
graded this year; the line from Wabasha
to Eau Claire and Menomonie, also partly
graded-both designed to add to the
sources of supply for the lumber traffic Of
those portions of southern Minnesota, Da-
kota and Iowa, which are traversed by
this company's lines. To make the Chip
peway Valley line most serviceable in this
respect it is understood to be the purpose
of the company to change the Wabashaw

OUR FINANCES.

The Capita, which Gives the st. Paul
Banks Solidity.
The banks of the city have done booming
business in 1881. The activity of trade has
enabled the banks to reap harvest, and at the
same time facilitate mercantile business.
There have been no changes either by death or
otherwise during the past year in any of our
banks.
The table which we append gives a birds eye
view of the bank business, together with their
resources. The figures are interesting.

The Canadian Pacific.


The intimate connection of this road
with the St. Paul & Manitoba and the
fast increasing intercourse and traffic be-
tween this city and the province of Mani
toba, serves to make the progress of the
Canadian Pacific of great local import
ance. A year ago last October the syn
