ST.. PAUL, Wednesday y, Nov. e.
| The past week has brought no marked
change in the wholesale trade of st. Paul.
The weather has been somewhat disappointing
to those who hoped for a season of clear
weather before the setting in of winter. Such
season would be Of great advantage to all
the people of the southern part of the state
and would give a decided stimulus to mer-
camille business. Trade continues large IN all
| lines with collections generally much i'm
proved, and mercantile correspondence indi-
Gates most confident feeling as to the future
| throughout the county.

of sheetings are advanced Nc, and some makes
of ginghams are advanced H@1c.
