FINANCE & COMMERCE.

ST. PAUL, June 6, 16S3.-During the past
week there has been considerable improve
IN the condition OF the general merchan-
die market, and with the exception of dry
goods there has been a decided improve
ment, both in the amount OF sales and in
collections. In regard to dry goods there
is a decided dullness and the market east
as well as west is overstacked. The sup
ply is greater than the demand. This
condition extends all the way through
from manufacturers to jObbers and from
the latter to their customers. The result
is that there is a ve-y conserv-
alive telling among dealers, They
ara disposed to stop buying
and to retrench as far as possible and
work off accommodations as much as they
can. Groceries are active with prices
firm and no important changes IN quota
tions to note. Drugs are good deal
more active while prices are firm, and col
Iections are fair ana improving. Hardware
is active with improved trade and collec-
tioas. Lumber Is active aud could not be
otherwise with all the building going on.
Boots AMI shoes are active. In finished
iron aud steel there has been no changes.
The board oe trade markets con-
time weak while prices are
gene cally lower. Throughout
all the week a dizziness has prevailed and
strong tendency to decline in prices has
been encountered. Wheat has changed fro n
Sill to Slip, and has had all along
baek-and-forth tendency. Oats, corn and
barley have been dull. Seeds quiet. Hay
has been moderately firm. Eggs have
huctuated good deal but at last ended in
a slight advance, notwithstanding the
market is we'll supplied. BIttsr steady.
Beans quiet. Apples firm. Oranges and
lemons advancing. Strawberries in good
supply and coming in freely. Poultry is
in better Supply. Cattle, hogs and sheep
unchanged. Flour quiet In regard to the
money market there is no important
change to notice. 1t is somewhat easier
in town from what it has been all winter,
and collections are little better. There
Is some improvement in counter business.

A Mistake.

Says correspondent: 1t happened
in a rough mining town in Colorado.
There was grand ball at the ranch
of Whiskey Jack, well-known char
acter in the "diggings,' and the
"elite" of the district responded to
the call in full force. The party was
held in rickerty old barn belonging
to the host, and what with few red
strips of flannel, grotesque accumu-
lation of mountain roses, and a row
of dripping candles, the appointments
of the place were perfect. My first
parter in the giddy dance was the
wife of the man who killed the village
postmaster because he refused him a
letter; she was fat, fair and forty,
and danced with the grace of a COW.
My next partner was the daughter of
this charming pair. a young girl just
bursting into the loveliness of woman
hood; she was badly freckled, and
sported wart on her nose. My next
partner was blooming grass-widow,
a fresh arrival, and then rested. /
began to comment on new faces in
the room. My companion in this
pleasant pastime was heavy-bearded
miner, uncouth. roughly dressed, to-
baceo-slobbered and very profane.
This was our first meeting, and 1
hoped it would be the last.
"There goes hard-looking case"
I whispered, as the wife of the man
who killed the postmaster sailed by.
"She's bad un."
"Yas," replied the man; ''I'd hate
to have the critter step on me. What
an elegant target she would make for
a poor marksman.'

"How?"
THE boss, 1 say amt she lovely

"a what?"
"Chimpanzee.'
He glared at me a moment, and
then reached for his revolver.
"What is chimpanzee?" he growl-
ed fiercely, his red eyes growing large.
l saw that I had made some mis-
take, and hastened to explain.
"Why-why,' I stammered, back
ing off, "a chimpanzee is lovely
creature found in Africa-nothing SO
gorgeously beautiful as chimpanzee.
This is the highest compliment lady
can receive"

m. ,rriage at Oil City, Pa, few days
ago, IF Theodore Sutton, of this city,
to a niece of John d. Rockefeller,
President Of the Standard Oil Com
pany. recalls an incident in the life
of Mary Anderson, the tragedienne,
which has never been published, and
which came near robbing the stage
of one of its brightest ornaments.
Mr.. Sutton is member of the steel
manufacturing firm of Smith, Sutton
& Co. They have an extensive eS-
tablishment in Allegheny City, and
are among the most solld firms, finan-
cially. in the trade. When Miss
Anderson played her first star en-
gagement in this city, six or seven
years ago, her beauty and talents
won the hearts of many leaders of
society, and, it may be remarked,
they are still her ardent admirers,
and always welcome her cordially.
Among the gentlemen who sought and
obtained an introduction to Miss An
derson was Mr.. Sutton. He had pre-
yiously made the acquaintance of DIR.
Griffin, her step-father, and therefore
had less difficulty than many others
in establishing friendly relations with
the lady whose praises were in all
mouths. He had been educated In
the best schools, had travelled exten-
sively, was possessed of pleasing
manners and an irreproachable char
acter, and had many other traits to
commend him. The result was that
during Miss Anderson's stay in the
city they met frequently, and ex-
changed letters at short intervals af-
ter her departure. .fhey met the
next summer, and year later had
become such good friends that Mr..
Sutton visited Miss Anderson at Long
Branch. In another year it was
known to confidential few in this
city that Miss Anderson, whose fame
had long been established, had prom
ised to become Mrs. Sutton and re-
tire from the stage. AS is well
known, the promise never was fulfill
| ed, and by the marriage OF Mr., SUIT
ton is now beyond the range of possi-
bilities. That there was an engage
ment was successfully concealed from
the press and public, but since no
harm can be done the facts have
leaked out. Why Miss Anderson
never became Mrs. Sutton those who
know decline to say, but intimate
that the engagement was broken be-
cause of religious differences that
could not be reconeiled.
