ST. PAUL'S TRADE.
What Our Wholesale and Retail Merchants
Have Been Doing the Past Week.

What Our Wholesale and Retail Merchants
Have Been Doing the Past Week.
During the past week the money market
has been easier, the Indications are that the
shipments of merchandise from here to the
East exceed the receipts from there, at this
time. Discounts remain unchanged.
Great activity in real estate continues,
and many important sales have taken
place. Everybody appears to be on the look
out for favorable opportunities to buy, and
property is being held firm.
There has been a steady general trade in
wholesale groceries. Country merchants
have been letting their stocks run down and
must soon replace them, so the indications
are good for a large increase in orders in
the near future.
In dry goods a very satisfactory business
has been done in all lines of spring and
summer goods, and the general state of
trade may be said to be improving. Collec-
tons continue to be all that can be expected.
The drug market is active and business
increasing. Spring trade is fairly open and
its volume larger than ever before. TIE de-
mand for paint, oils and glass is very large,
and field seeds are in greater demand than
ever before, a good sign of intelligent en-
terprse on the part of our farmers. Qunine
is lower than ever before. Opium is firmer.
Strychnine advanced 35c per ounce. very
sudden and large advance. Collections
somewhat improving, although still back
ward.
A decided change for the better has been
felt in wholesale clothing, quite large num-
Der of orders for spring goods having been
received.
The wholesale hat and cap merchants re-
port that nice trade has been done in spring
hats during the past few days.

st. Paul ami Minneapolis to Receive $4,000
Each for the Hremen's Relief Fund.
Senate file No. PIG, which passed both
branches OF the late legislature, and received
the approval OF the governor, was the subject
of considerable talk at the state house yes
terday, its true inwardness Of course coming
to light in the department of the secretary of
state. 1t is entitled IAN act to appropriate
for the support of the fire depart
ment OF each city, town, village
or other municipal corporation
in the state of Minnesota part Of the tax
paid By fire insurance companies upon pre-
miums received By them in any such city,
town or village" Its provisions are that no
locality shall be entitled to benefits unless
having had organized fire departments one
year prior to the approval Of the bill, and that
every locality having departments organized
as aforesaid must file certificate of their fire
machinery and water supply with
the insurance missioner before Oc-
tober 81 Of each year, or be de-
barred from participation in the division Of
the fire insurance premium tax with the state.
The basis of the amount to be paid by the
state to each city town and village treasurer
is to be one-haf the tax of 2 per cent. on
fire premiums paid TO insurance companies
in such city, town and village. The bill
provides that this money shall be set aside
by the respective treasurers receiving it,
first, for the relief and support Of men dis
abled from duty in fire department service;
and secondly, for the maintenance and
equipment of the fire department in such
localities.
Insurance Commissioner A. r. McGill on
being consulted said that the 2 per cent. tax
on fire premiums issued in the state last year
was about $50, 600. The bill determined that
next year oue-haf the sum, say 5000,
should be paid to the fire departments Of the
state living under its provisions. As the
cities OF st. Paul and Minneapolis
had about half a rpilIion each in fire pre-
miums, this would give the fire Department.
of the two cities 5000 each, or possibly
more, and the outside companies would get
In the region of IS, 900, as it would cost the
the balance to carry out the measure. At
ANY rate, the bill devoted half Of 2 per cent.
tax on fire insurance premiums to the FIRE
departments on the basis Of the amount OF
premiums paid in their respective cole ciion.,
which would give the twin city departments
the big end Of the bonus.

8s.t- pOrarily Insane.
A sad tragedy was enacted about l O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death,
by his own hands OF Mr.. John T. Whitaker,
residing at No. $40 De Bow street. Shortly
before the hour named Mr.. Whitaker rose
from the dinner table and started to go
upstairs, but not hearing any noise
in that direction the members
of the family present became alarmed, as he
had been very i'll lately, and started in
search Of him. One OF the children went to
the baru in the rear OF the house aud on
opening the door she was confronted by the
terrible spectacle Of her father, who was lying
on the floor, with the blood streaming
from ghastly cut in his throat.
The household was alarmed and the assist
aure of several OF the neghbors was volun-
teered. Upon examination 1t was discovered
that life was extinct, the deceased having
cut hts throat almost from ear to ear. He was
in his shirt sleeves and by his side rested

the remains he stated that after the deed the
deceased could not have lived minute 1t

Whitaker was farmer, about IS years of
age, aud no leaves n wife aud several chill

Postmaster Day Gives Some Cogent heas-
ons WHY the Time Schedule Should
Be Rearranged.
ssThis isn't the only time we have had
trouble with the fast mail service said Post
master Day in referring to the inconVen-
fences of the system yesterday. 1.-THE ex-
pertinent was tried several years ago, but not
with success. At that time the fast mail left
New York at o'clock a. m, taking only the
mail matter of the day previous. The result
was that il didn't facilitate the correspond
ence of the business community, the only
parties benefited being the proprietors OF the
New York daily papers, which got as Tar west
as Cleveland on the day that they were Is
sued. The matter was ventilated at the next
session Of congress and as no appropriation
was made the fast mail was abandoned.
Gas at present arranged the fast mail leaves
New York at s p. IN, ana 1t is profesSedly
in the interests of correspondents. II ar
rives in Chicago at 1925 a. IN. the next
morning and So far as the two cities OF Chi
cagO and New York are concerned II Is OF
great service, as letters are forwarded very
promptly But the difficulty consists in the
delay at Chicago Arriving in that city at
1925 A. m, it hes over until $3.50 O'Clock;
on board and they reach here in time
to catch the nOrth-bOund trains at 3 30 p. m.
Just the same as the St. Paul dailies.
The railway mail officials claim that the time
consumed in the delay at Chicago is neces-
sary. don't think it is, and with proper
diligence believe the fast mail matter for
St. Paul in connection with the regular Chi
cago mail should be delivered in st. Paul by
9 O'Clock p. II. at the latest.
''By doing this the mail would be Of perma-
nent value on the day Of its arrival.
In my judgment the administration should
arrange time schedule just as though there
were no papers published in the world, as the
primary and first use of the mails is to facil-
ithte CORES pondencc, while all printed matter.
including newspapers, should be secondary"
During the conversation DR.. Day turned
to Capt. Ed Bean, veteran in the railway
mail service, and inquired how long, in his
opinion, it should take, with proper manage
ment, to transfer the mail at Chicago, TO
which the latter replied that 1t should not
consume over an hour.

matter in the Merchants hotel lobby yester-
day, when one of them said: "'m not
