Weekly Review.

More activity has been displayed in the
market during the past week than during any
preceding week this season. The drug. mar
ket. which has exhibited rather more activity
during all the spring than any ofthe other
departments in trade saw no falling0 dur,
ing the past week, but rather al fnepease.
Orders came in freely, while collections We're,
a little better. The demand for glass, paints,
oils, etc., very heavy. and there was
also good market for naval stores, turpen-i
tine, tar, etc. The demand for field seeds is
nearly past, although some lawn and other
grass seed'is still selling. Quinine is lower
than lever before, with no present
acid and other disinfectants are still high and
scarce. The new pharmacy law is likely to
prove practical and a great protection to all
druggists, as well as to the public. The dry
goods trade has been rather quiet and the de-
mand has been almost entirely confined to
orders from statesmen on the road. The warm
weather of the past week served to increase
the demand for summer fabrics, such as
lawns, percales, bunting and other thin dress
goods. In these there was considerable ac-
tivity, while an increased demand was also
noticeable for thin underwear, summer ho-
netting. Adv1ces from the East indicate
q very active market for domes-
tics, recent auction sales having
demonstrated that goods are as low as they
will be sold. Leading wholesale houses
throughout the country have been liberal
buyers and shipped stocks by lake freights,
now that navigation is open. AS result
prices are much firmer, many mills having
sold their production up to August l. 1t is
generally reported by the hardware trade
that more orders are being received now than
heretofore, but that in most cases they are
small and for varied aSSortmentS Of goods.
Seasonable goods are in good demand. Prices
in general remain without important change
while collections are improving. Dealers are
full of orders for barbed wire and stocks are
light, causing delay in shipments. 1t is
thought that sufficient supply will be
on hand this week to supply
recent decision in favor of MeSsrs. Washburn
& Moen is not yet at hand, the decision hay
ing be en- an oral one. 1t is understood, how
ever, that it sustains the patent on the Gid
den barb, which is one of the leading forms,
and gives encouragement of a similar result
on other barbs on which special suits will
have to be brought. The result of this suit
will undoubtedly cause an advance. The nail
market has been very quiet, though in some
cases sellers report q little more activity DUR
ing the past few days. Most dealers think
prices have touched bottom. There is rather
more than the usual amount of activity in
groceries, and dealers are doing an increased
business. Sugars are very active. New York
factory cheese is shade lower, otherwise
quotations are not materially changed. Col
lections are reported to be good. Lumber is
firm and steady with good demand, which, as
q natural consequence, will be likely to con-
tinue through the season. There are no
changes to note in regard to boots and shoes
and leather, or in regard to finished iron and
steel

About o'clock sneak thief stole pair
of raftsmen's boots from outside the door of
George Millard's store. The police were
notified and went after the thief on the
double run, and in less than ten minutes
had him in limbo and the plumber secured.
He will interview Judge Netheway this
morning.
On Monday Schulenburg & Boeckeler
Lumber companys sawmill here made a
good record In eleven hours the gang
and circular saw cut 1856, 900 feet of inch
and-a-quarter boards, while the other circu-
lar saw cut 81. 900 feet, a total of 267, 600
feet. The lumber was cut to the order of
the Bohn Manufacturing company of Wi
mona. Who can beat that record?
An exciting foot race took place yester-
day on the street opposite the state prison
in which fast time was made. The three
gentlemen engaged in it are respected em-
ployes of the car company. One is noted
athlete and considers he has few equals in
speed or strength. He sturnped the office,
and was quickly taken up. The race was
11O yards, flying start, and it was made in
II seconds. .Messrs. Birge. McKusick and
Norris were the contestants. Norris dis
tanced the others.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May 26.-The current events
of commercial and financial affairs moved
ON to-day without special feature. The
movement on goods is rather sluggish but
respectable in dimensions. Money is held
with firm grip, bankers and Aacapmalists
preferring to let it lie idle 1l Saijlts rather
than launch it forth upon an uncertain sea.
Rates on undoubted paper are easy and ac-
commodations for demand forofunds are
small. For call loans 4(05 per cent and
time money SOC per cent. may still be
quoted as the standard loaning rates. New
York exchange was quoted at 60c premium,
with only fair outside demand. Currency
shipments to the country and receipts there
from were both light. Sterling exchange
was heavier and lower, but firm at s4. 4.87@
ST. SO. The bank clearings were Sc, 794, :
900, against 81, 11S, 900 yesterday.
