St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-11-01

We've got it, and the desirable reaction
is now coming on. Real estate specu-
lation is less. The people Of the cities
have less obligations, and retailers
should have a good trade during the
next three or four months. We expect
to see good business during the next
sixty days. @fi
p. D. Ferguson, Gordon & Ferguson
Our fur trade has been a little quiet
on account of the warm weather, but
the prospects were never better and we
expect heavy business when the
weather changes.
Charles Straus, Robinson, Straus a.
Co., Who lesale Millinery-We have. had
4 splendid season and the prospects
were never better in all departments.
This will be great year for st. Paul.
James Ii. Skinner, Lanpher. Finch q
Skinner, Wholesale Hats. Caps, Etc.-We
can repeat our favorable general report,
except that collections are not quite as
good. We attribute the latter 10 the
busy times in the country. The farmers
will soon he taking money to town.
Frank Keogh, Beaupre, Keogh d
Davis. Wholesale GrocerS-PrOspectS
never better. St. Paul should do the
greatest trade of her history. Collec-
tons are little slower than they were
as the farmers are all busy in the fields,
E. j. Stilwell. Wright. Barrett &
SiilweIl, Wholesale Paper-Tve just
returned from the north; was up to the
boundary line. ! tell you. they have
lots of wheat up there. but some of the
northern farmers who were neglectful
have part of their wheat in shock yet.
Still. even if some of it is damaged the
results this year will be far above an
average. and a wonderful business fol-
lows for st. Paul.

Press Association = Fabulous reports
| are reaching US right along telling of
| the wonderful prosperity of the North
\ west this season. The entire district is
! to be congratulated on the splendid out
look.
Rudolph Rossum, Scheffer & Rossum.
! Saddlery Hardware, Etc.-As one of the
''strawS" I'll tell you: We use good
deal of straw in manufacturing and
have contracts for about hundred tons.
! Now, the farmers have been so busy
! they could not fill these contracts, and
to get straw this week we had to send
our men from the city 10 thresh with
fails. so that we could have enough
straw for present needs. The general
| situation continues firSt-claSS.
G. SOmmerS x Co., Wholesale Notions
General situation very good. So are
collections with us. Farmers are turn.
ing some of their wheat into cash.
ii. S. Ash, Manager. Nonotuck Silk
Company-Our business is fully Is
per cent better than last year and the
collections are very good. Here is a
$500 order-a new bill to Butte, Mont.
New customers are coming continually.
The general trade will surprise some
people this year.
j. NJ. Bohrer, Produce Commission
The situation in our business is excel
lent. There is good demand for the
receipts on arrival and at good prices.
The Ranking Situation.
William Bickel, Cashier German
American Bank-There is no particular
change in the banking situation since
last week. The wholesale merchants
are doing a splendid business. They
find that money Is quite easy. There is
| plenty of money in our banks, and many
of the country banks do not easily find
the mercantile paper they would like to
have. The financial institutions of
this city have much larger
surplus than the law requires.
They prepared themselves early for any
requirements of moving the crops, and
millions of dollars have been held sin
readiness for such demands. Much of
the money that went northwest of here
has returned quickly. as those who han
die wheat have found good, steady de-
mand for it, The lack of machinery
and men made threshng slower, and
will make the merchandising season
longer. Consequently. the use of money,
in this way,iS being distributed through
out longer period than some people
expected.
