husband should be the one to make the

money has gone altogether too quickly,
and | won't have so much spent next
month, if l have 10 carry the purse

assertion that none of the money in
question had been spent needlcssly.

there was no reason why the outlay OF

The San Francisco Commercial News"
in its summary for Australia, says:
The freight market has been very duh
and weak, rates having declined to an eX-
tremely improbable point for shipOwners.
A fair export trade has been done in lum-
Der during the month but at the close the
demand for Australia is slack.
The refinery rates for sugar have been
reduced during the month, and fair bust
ness is reported Island rice is in light
stock; prices steadily declined until re-
Gently, when slight reaction set in.
Hops are still dull, with lower prices an
ticipated, owing to the unsatisfactory state
of consuming markets.
Lumber is firmer, under a good export
demand.
There is a good local and export trade in
canned fruits, some descriptions of which
are now about out of stock. The salmon
season is over, the offerings in this market
consisting only of fall pack from some out
side rivers.

NELSON NOMINATED
By Acclansation, by the Democrats of tn


By Acclansation, by the Democrats of tho
Second Ward.
The Democrats of the Second ward, by ac-
clamation, and without a dissenting voice,
last night nominated B. F. Nelson as their
candidate for alderman. The caucus was
held at the Cataract engine house and was
very largely attended Winthrop Young was
chairman and Leon Baier, secretary. 1t re-
quired but few moments to complete the
work. The name of B. F. Nelson was placed
before the caucus by Jacob Becker, and he
was nominated by acclamation. Mr.. Nelson
is the senior member of the firm of Nelson.
Tenny & Co., is straightforward,
conservative Democrat and has already
served the city i'll the capacity of
alderman. The Second ward is ordinarily
heavily Republican, but such Is the dissatis-
faction among that party with Gillette and
his methods that it is thought sufficient
number of them will rally around the Nelson
standard to send Democrat to the council.
An interested witness of the caucus was
Mr.. Gillette himself. To the GLOBE envoy he
said: Yes, l am the candidate. carried
the nomination by fair means, and will stay
there. The best Republicans in the ward are
with me in this fight, and by their help ex-
pect to be elected.''
The nomination of Mr.. Nelson completes
the Democratic aldermanic ticket in the
city. 1t is an admittedly strong one, and in
certain wards exceptionally SO.
