BUSINESS OF ST. PAUL.
What Has Been Done the Past Week
and the Outlook Ahead.
OFFICE OF THE ST. PAUL CHAMBER I

OFFICE OF THE ST. PAUL CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE, November 1, 1884.
During the past week trade has shown de-
cided improvement in almost all depart
ments.
Money is trifle easter, spectators wait
ing for the result of the elections. Banks
are discountng at the usual rates. 10 10
per cent.
The real estate market has been decidedly
active, numerous sales having been made in
West st. Paul and between ST. Paul and MN
neapolis. One real estate dealer disposed of
sixty acres in garden lots just outside the
city.
The wholesale grocers have been doing a
very large trade, and report collections com.
ing in quite satisfactorily.
In the dry goods line there has been an
improvement over last weeks business, al
though somewhat dull for the time of year.
Drugs-Trade reported excellent, save
only as regards collections which are poor as
yet. 1t is good time to buy, as prices are
low and the prospect IS an advance in lead
ing articles. The demand for window glass
is very large indeed, beyond any previous
business done here.
Reports from wholesale clothing houses
indicate that sales have been increasing and
collections improving, and condition Of
trade healthy.
Those engaged in lumber have about as
much they can attend 10 filling their
orders, and are consequently well satisfied.
The leather trade has been quite active,
and an improvement in collections is felt.
Hardware is very lively at this time, heavy
orders coming in daily.
The wholesale wine and liquor merchants
report business somewhat dull.
Commission merchants repsrt business
very satisfactory, orders coming in freely.
A good trade has been done in all the re-
tail branches Of business, and the store-keep-
ers are feeling well satisfied. One jewelry
store reports best sales thus far, for some
years past. The fur dealers all busy and
! trade active.
Saint Paul has a solid basis Of prosperity,
which sustains her trade, and the present
outlook was never brighter for her future
The Robert street bridge, and the new rail
road bridge are now facts established, al
though not yet realized and will help al
classes of trade. c. A. McNEALE,
/ Secretary
