St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-11-22

are that good cold season is at hand. anC
we have the promise of good, solid trade
all winter. I've watched the thi ng for
twenty-five years, and when we have regular,
seasoIsble weather everything is better BY
the way, people from the country this season
speak to me about what say in the papers.
They must refer 10 what told the GLOBE,
and l must say it gets around among the
country merchants. They notice these
things, even if we miss them. 1t does good.
If we get an additional force Of practical
farmers in Minnesota, and ] think they re
coming from the East it will help business
all around. They can diversity their inter
ests here better, l think, than anywhere else
for the same cost of land. They should be
practical farmers to succeed anywhere; The
farmer should understand his WORK, just as
the business man must know what he has
to do to keep things going right.

Wholesale Drugs-The drug trade of the
Northwest Is in excellent condition, and the
volume of the business is larger than ever
before. the sales of one house alone for the
month of November being over S171.0O0
This is the largest sale for the same period
ever reached in the history of the drug
business in st. Paul. Not only is the volume
good. but the condition of the business is i'm
proving daily. A large amount of old
bills or indebtedness is being liquidated, and
the receipts from the country are not only
good, but extremely well sustained. The col
iections are not as large as they ought
to be, yet they are larger than during
any previous season. Although the
season is late for new enterprises,
a considerable number of new stocks are be-
ing sold, tand, altogether, the outlook is
brighter here than the trade has ever had be-
fore. 1t is generally known 10 the trade if
not to the public, that the finest and most
complete. if not the largest wholesale drug
house in the country is St. Paul institution
1t is fully certain there will be a still fur
Their development during the coming year.
As rule, prices are lower than ever before.
but the signs are that they have reached their
lowest point, and on many articles there
is strong tendency to advance.
The condition of the country tributary
to st. Paul is such as TO favor new enterprises
in many OF our leading towns, but VIII at is
more noticeable than any new business is
the increased business and improved condi-
ton of the older houses. We think that the
first use of money from the harvest has been
to pay old debts. and we believe that most of
the money lOaners throughout the country
were on hand to look after their interests.
Il is an impression that the business of the
country has not yet fully realized the expect
ed condition from the harvest, and that it
will not come all at once, but rather that il
will be extended over the coming year and
that business will be larger and better sus-
tanned throughout the Northwest and done
on safer basis than ever before. During
the first ten months of 81 our sales increased
TO per cent over those of 1890.

Car Line-It's new thing for us to have or
ders for cars to go West at this time of the
year, but it is n fact today having Just re-
ceived orders for 160 cars for Northern Pa
ciic points and l20 on the Great Northern
These will bring eastward about 600 head of
cattle on or before the LIST of December. The
total number of range cattle FOR the season
is over 200, 900 head. About 80 per cent of
these have gone forward in stable cars. The
markets are low, but the run has been heavy.
A. B. Driscoll McKibben & Co., Wholesale
Hats, Caps and Fur Goods-We are working
night and day to get the orders out. We are
doing twice the business we ever did before
i'll November. The trade from the Red river
valley is particularly large. Our statesmen
are out in full force and taking large orders,
which was unheard of at this time of the yoar
heretofore. Our manufactured goods have
sold largely. We have doubled the capacity
of our factory, and employed more than
twice as many hands as we did last year. and
we are still unable to fill our orders promptly.
We are running the factory day and night in
the effort to supply our trade with reason
able promptneSS.

ufacturers of Cigars-Our collections are
good. and trade is improving We are put
ting more men in right along and the pros
poets are very promising from now out.
These crops will help along next year. The
new organizations here are exerting more in
fiuence than is generally supposed. Eastern
goods are going out of style here. For in

cigars he can have them made here exactly
to suit the demand and at no greater cost
