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

During the past week there has been no
perceptible change in the money 3market,
discount rates remaining firm at former fig
ures. One hundred thousand dollars worth
of 3 per cent, thirty years, city of st. Paul
and Ramsey county bonds were purchased
on Tuesday by the st. Paul National bank at
a premium of 81 per cent, which speaks
well for the financial standing of our city
and county.
Real estate continues to be exceedingly
active and numerous sales have taken place
There is more activity manifested in real es-
tate at the present time than there was In the
remarkable spring of 1898, at the same time.
The demand for groceries has been irregu-
lar. The late snow blockades have inconveu-
fenced the wholesale grocers in their ship
ments from the East.
In dry goods a very satisfactory trade has
been done in dress and spring goods, with
good collections.
Drugs-Some annoyance reported arising
from snow blockades, but fortunately stocks
were large and goods now arriving will sup
ply the few articles which ran short. Bush
ness very good indeed. One house reports
sales for January $1,000 in excess of Janu-
airy last year, February 1000 in excess of
February, 1884. and March opening up with
q rush. Prices are firm and few changes
Orders are coming In more freely every day
and the whole outlook is excellent for spring
business. White lead has advanced &c per
pound.
The wholesale clothing houses report spring
trade rather late this year, orders being re-
ceiyed with instructions to defer shipping for
two or three weeks.
A good general trade has been done in
wholesale hats and caps.
There has been An unusually large demand
upon our wholesale boot and shoe jobbers for
spring stocks.
The leather trade is fairly good, harness
leather being in active demand, but collec-
tons rather slow.
There is considerable activity in the hard
ware trade, heavy shipments being made of
fence wire, corn planters and all seasOnable
articles
The wholesale wine and liquor merchants
report trade very quiet, customers waiting to
know the result Of license law.
Our commission merchants report a fair
smount of trade having been done during
the week. Fresh eggs are coming in, with ?
good demand for them: poultry keeps up in
price, the sale of butter, however, is exceed
ingly dull.
Large supplies of bananas, oranges and
sweet potatoes have been received, all OF
which are in good demand.
A satisfactory trade has been done by our
retail merchants; their business is improv-
ing as the spring approaches.

THE WEEK IN TWO TOWNS.

1T WAS DEVOTED TO COMEDY, SOME OF 1T
FUNNY AND SOME VERY FUNNY.
The week just closed has not produced
anything remarkable in the twin cities. The
new farce-comedv "A Parlor Match,'' was
flashed on large audience at the st. Paul
Grand, Monday night, and it con-
tinued to sputter and scintillate
to increased and we'll pleased au
dienccs during the brief engagement.
The company opened at Minneapolis Thurs
day night with equal success, and on that
evening the patrons of the st. Paul Grand
were afflicted with burlesque entitled, GA
Cold Day When We Get Left The play is
about as raw as the title, and even the
sprlghtly acting of several very clever people
fails to redeem it from almost utter inaneness.
The business was only moderate, but fully as
good as the character of the show deserves,
the only really excellent features of which
are the vocal efforts and speciality acts of the
company.
The Olympic theater has presented good
variety bill during the week, the special at
traction being the performances of "Wood's
Wonders" This week will appear ''The
Little Texas Star" and her company, intro
ducing Queen Nab, an artist of the tender
age of 6 years.

and keenest man on the Republican side of
the house. Big and fat and apparently fond
of his ease, you would not think him a hard
hitter intellectually. But he is. There is no
man on the Republican side whose
keen and polished shafts are so
much feared as Reeds. He is a close
student Of things political and financial
man who watches the course of legislation
very closely, and possessed of the keenest
wit and sharpest tongue in tie way of re-
Spouse of any man in the house. He is
down East Yankee in his manner, and
drawls out his cutting sentences in way
that adds TO their attractiveness and gives
Zest to the enjoyment with which he is always
listened to-
Mr.. Hewitt of New York will be another
fighter against silver. So viii Mr.. Hiscock
of that state. So will Mr.. Cox, and indeed
so will most of the members of the house and
senate from the states east of the Allegne-

That the fight over silver and upon the
currency question is TO be one of the most
important features of the new administra-
ton and in the new congress is now gener-
ally conceded.

sibley and suIIy's Indian Campaign.

Sibley and Sully's Indian Campaign.
To the Editor of the Globe:
In last Sundays GLOBE there appeared an
article giving personal recollections of two of
our most prominent and worthy old settlers,
Y. w. Kittson and Gen. II. H. Sibley. / de-
sire TO call attention to that portion of the
article referring to Gen. Sibley's Indian cam
paign to the Missouri river in 1868.
The writer of the article states that he was
an officer on Gen. Sibley's staff, consequent
ly he had every facility for knowing and
learning the facts connected with the various
circumstances and events that transpired
during that campaign.
| desire especially to call his attention to
the following extract, viz: 'His orders (Gen.
Siblev's) were TO drive the Indians into the
Missouri river or across it, and then Gen.
Sully was to intercept him; Shley did his
duty, SullY failed to do his and the Indians
escaped"
The statement that "Sully failed to do his
duty / pronounce false aud an outrageous
SANDER on the character and reputation of
one of our most gallant soldiers, since dead;
one whose keen sense of honor and solderly
instincts were such that no obstacles or dam
gers could ever deter him from the perform
ance of whatever he considered his duty l
challenge the writer of this article to furnish
a single instance wherein Gen. Sully ever
failed to perform his duty.
Sully's delay in reaching the point of cross
ing WIS evidently most fortunate, as it ena-
bled Gen. Sibley to carry out his instructions
to the letter; for he did actually drive the
Indians into tue river and across it, as he
started out to 80 and was ordered to do.
Had Gen. Sully reached the point in ad-
vance OF the Indians the latter would have
been caught between two fires, and knowing
Gen. Sully's mode of dealing with hostile
Indians feel quite sure that Gen. Sibley,
with all his cautious characteristics - could
not have averted the horrible fate of having
to leave several Of his brave fellows bones to
bleach on the plains of Dakota, and / am in
cined to think that this staff officer reioiced
in his heart that Sully failed to reach this
point of crossing in time, for who knows but
what his bones might now be bleaching on
the plains Of Dakota had Sully made the con-
nection aud brought on fghtl
AN OFFICER OF GEN. SULLY's STAFF.

the senate, however, Bowen and Teller of
Colorado, Miller of California, and Jones and
Fair of Nevada will stand up for silver for
personal as we'll as state reasons. Fair, for
instance, is very large owner in silver
mines, and in his autobiography in the con-
gressional directory says: she has been ex-
tensively engaged in mining. constructing
huge quartz mills, building water works, etc.
In 1867 he formed partnership with John
W. Mackey, J. c. Flood and William S.
O'Brien. The firm purchased the Bonanzas
and various other well-known mines, the
Weld of gold and silver from which under
the superintendency of MIR. Fair is estimated
at ABOUT $500. 900, 900. So it is easy to see
that the silver-producing states will come
into the fight with pretty strong and ex-
perienced team in the senate.''
On the other hand there will be some
strong fighters in support of Mr.. Cleveland
and his theories. The lines will not be
drawn on party basis for there will be strong
support from the Republican side. One of
the most active men on the Republican side
of the house, in supporting this proposition
for the suspension of silver coinage, will be
Mr.. Reed of Maine. And he is man who
makes his mark upon any object he makes
his target. He is the brightest and quickest

RISTORI.

SHE WILL VISIT ST. PAUL THIS WEEK.
This gifted and celebrated artist will open
brief engagement at the St. Paul Grand
on Thursday evening, presenting the follow
ing brilliant repertoire. Thursday, "Queen
Elizabeth" Friday, 'Marie Antoinette;''
Saturday, Macbeth" Saturday matinee,
''Mary Stuart" As will be observed above
the great tragedy queen will be seen in
ound of her most famous impersonatons and
she will undoubtedly be greeted by immense
audiences.
OF her Elizabeth celebrated writer
SAYS:
Elizabeth was the play. The whole was
animated by the colossal genius OF the greatest
living actress, who made even the most common
place passages and episodes seem grandly i'm
pressive. The expression OF her mobile counte-
nance, varying with each thought, word and
GESTURE, is perfect revelation of consummate art
and without word would suffice TO tell the en-
tire story of the drama. Indeed, no actor or
actress now on the stage can equal Ristori in
facial play and quick changes OF countenance
Her gestures are expressive as her face,
though she does not indulge to excess in them,
as most European artists are apt to do. Elizabeth
as portrayed BY Ristori, was a species OF Louis
NJ, as subtle as the French despot, as firmly at
tached TO power. as unwilling to name her sue
cessor. but not so inscriptions and deceptive.
Historical accounts of the queen were stoutly
adhered 20, and the entire portraiture was as
strong, impressive and picturesque as it was
natural. In the early scenes Ristori reserved
her force, but even then her genius was album
dainty apparent and shone couspicIously in by
play, gestures and business.

MISS cLEvELAND's DEBUT.

Description of the Costume of the White
House Mistress-Pretty Mrs. Hoyt.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March miss Cleveland
opened up the Democratic social regime by
her first reception this afternoon and enjoyed
the novelty and consequent WEAKNESS of
shaking hands with a steady throng
OF people representing every walk
in life. Miss. Cleveland is tall
and delicately built, with strong features.
Her short light brown hair is jauntily curled
all around her welI-shaped head, and while
she dresses well makes 10 pretensions to
style. Her gown was of velvet, a dark
Emerald green, plainly and richly made.
About her neck she wore fine hariton lace
hchu, caught with corsage bouquet of pink
roses Her long white kid gloves covered her
closely lifting sleeves nearly to the elbow.
During short intermissions she sat
down and carried on lively
conversation with ladies grouped
back OF her. While perfectly well possessed
woman, the ordeal was trying and she be-
trayed slight nervousness in the start,
which gradually wore away. Her sister, Mrs.
Hoyt, who stood next to her is miniature
reproduction of the wife of John Sherman.
She is very pretty and bright, and her velvet
dress of London smoke combined with
lighter brocaded velvet was exceed
ingly becoming. Her hair was tasteIy
arranged in fashionable soft coils and
bunch of roses at her belt, and soft falls of
fine lace at the head, made her the prettiest
figure in the line. Mrs Bacon nother sister,
whose dark brown hair in crmped waves, a Ia
Lucy Hayes, frame an intelligent and SYM
pathetic face, vas attired in a rich black silk
dress, combined with black brocadsd
velvet. She soon left the line and
mingled socially with those who were
asked to remain in the east room and there
became more Familiarity acquainted than her
sisters. Rev. Mrs. Cleveland wore black
brocade of velvet high-throated like the rest
and had bunch of jacqueminot roses as a
corsage ornament. The rest of the presi-
dents connections, the Hastings and Yeo-
mans families, left last night for their
homes.

There was good attendance yesterday at
the meeting of the lumbermen's board of
trade. Mr.. David Bronson, president, occu-
pied the chair. 1t looked as If the new lum-

S. O'Brien treasurer. Mr.. O'Brien is presi-
dent of the lumbermen's exchange, and
Hon. f. w. Durant treasurer, while Mayor
Mathews is one of the directors. The only
business except the election Of officers was
to instruct Ed st. John to put the Kettle

lating to scattered logs were left to the regu-
lar meeting held each month.
