storms has been greatly decreased. All
foresi9hted farmers have taken suf-
ficient precautions so that they are on a
safe basis. Neglectful ones may lose
by reduced grades, especially III the eX-
IRENE northern portion of the wheat
belt, where storms were reported Fri
day. In the southern portion of this
district the crops are almost all we'll
carel for.
Directly connected with the whole
sale trade Is the manufacturing in this
city, which numbered considerably more
than LEGO establishments one year ago.
Since then valuable new manufactures
have started here, some of them en-
plOying hundreds of hands each. A new
st. Paul clothing concern employs 400
operatives. Other concerns have added
by the hundreds to the city's forces.
Furthermore, all along the line of older
established concerns there has been a
great increase in their forces,
which increase has been going
on steadily from month to month.
Their output last year footed over &c.,
00l,000. 1t will be vastly increased this
year, and the number OF men employed
would make more than one standing
army" The S20,000,000 increase in the
wholesale business of st. Paul in 1899,
as compared with 1889. will be nowhere
compared with the increase of 1891, and
the bank exchanges will foot more than
500. 600, 900.
In this connection John Hart, a. prom
| inent cigar manufacturer, said yester-
day: There are several large factories
here in our line. Business has been
good, and is now excellent. There is
room here for more large cigar manu-
facturers. The more the merrier. Thus
it is in other lines of manufacturing.
The great district tributary hereto is
only partially developed. People have
been rushing from the splendid Central
Western states to seek cheap lands IN
Washington, Oregon and the Southwest,
and they have overlooked great advan-
tages offered by Wisconsin, Minnesota
many settlers on the Pacific slope and a
lack of opportunities. Their eyes have
been opened. They have writ
ten to their Eastern friends,
and many intending settlers are
inqulring into the advantages of Mime
sofa, where the opportunities for diver

kinds, are so great. The healthfulness
of this district is remarkably good.

perienced farmers have no trouble, and
many inexperienced settlers are better

say may be interesting to the trade re-

Bernhard Kuhl, Kuhl & Cumming
! company, manufacturers of clothing:
This is new concern. We employ
now nearly 400 hands-half male ant
half female. We have doubled oul
manufacturing capacity during the
past month found it necessary. The
number of orders exceeded by far Oul
expectations. Although we had not
figured on a very large business this
| fall, for it was rather too late in the
season when we started, still the
amount of sales is away ahead
of what we calculated on. We
have to meet the competition
of very wealthy houses, especially
from Chicago. a number of whom have
| kept representatives right here in thi:
city for years, but we are proud to say
that We have been able to sell every
man to whom it has been our gooC
fortune to show goods. You see, we
manufacture every article right here il
st. Paul. Mr.. Cumming has beef
actively engaged in the manufacture o
clQthing over twenty years, and we arr
trying our utmost TO make only first
class goods especially adapted to thu
Northwest trade. The numerous dupli
cate orders which we have already re
ceiyed show us that these st. Pau
goods are appreciated"
