There is absolutely nothing more to be said
generally of the wholesale trade of st. Paul.
Orders continue large, and in some lines in
advance of the facilities for improving. Col
lections remain slow, though considerably
improved, com pared with laet month. 1t is
hoped that the advent of freezing weather
without snow will enable farmers to thresh
their grain and market it, so that by the end
of the year most of the Indebtedness of the
country for merchandise will be liquidated.
| Except in part of the southern and southwest
ern counties Of our State and adjacent portions
of Iowa and Dakots, the fall blowing is under
stood to be nearly as extensive in proportion
as in any former season; but there is no part
| of the Northwest in which threshing is more
than half done, and in some limited sections
| no threshng has been done because of the
continued rains through the fall having made
| it impossible to move machines or wagons
over plowsd fields.

car load of hops from Puyalup county, Wash
ington Territory, the most even in color and
| strongest of any grown. Furthermore, they
are absolutely clean hops, no leayes being

Indians, instead OF deceitfuI white girls.
