as a type about matters of this
sort. He would sooner get his fall

his fall work Is completed. Thus it is
that the crop is not coming in the mar

Among Builders.

Bohn Manufacturing Company-The
general outlook is better than for years,
and everything points to promising
future. In our trade the future is
brighter to-day than any time since we
have been in business. In our partic-
ular branch it is promising all over the
country, and we look for a great deal of
building. There won't be SO much
building in the cities for a year or two,
as the Western cities are ahead of the
times and stop must be made to let
the country catch up with us. In the
country there will De more building the
coming year than ever before. You
might also add that the trade in build
ing material of all kinds is very pros
porous. am positive that the North
west has an especially prosperous year
before it, and that it will continue to
grow rapidly. All this building will
give great deal of work for mechanics
and draw them from other places.
Scribner-Llbby Company trade
is more especially connected with large
city buildings, and the outlook for them
is not as bright as it might be, for all
the large cities are beautifully sup
piled. But many small buildings will
be erected all over the country and give
the building trade lift. The outlook

Manufacturers-We are having the best
trade in some time, and the outlook
could hardly be brighter. The general
trade is excellent, every one feeling con-
fident OF a prosperous future. We look
forward to an era of great prosperity in

there is Il stronger feeling of confidence
than for years. The immense crop when
disposed of will enable the farmers to

| making times good.
Ryan Drug Company-It looks like old
times again to have trade booming as it
is now. We are behind in our orders,
and we are working overtime. We
never saw the Northwest look more
promising. There will be no great
boom, although a steady increase in
trade will be felt. The big crop this
year marks another progressive era,
one such as has not been seen since the
Red river settlement. This years crop
Is large enough to make business sub
stantlal and safe for two years to come,

so much the better. The farmers have

hesitancy in purchasing of the jobbers.

estate in st. Paul. The permanent in
vestment of this large sum has been
made during a time of exceptional
quietness in the real estate market, so
that the purchaser to-day of property
in this city is guaranteed prices that are
low and that certainly must advance in
the near future, as prices have not been
advanced materially during the past
four years, during which time more at
tention has been paid to building than
to investments in real estate. Values
have been well maintained during the
past few years, and the fact that ST.
Paul is not boom city, but one Of a
solid and conservative kind, makes us
feel certain that the increased prosper
| ity of the country at large will be re-
| flected IN the advance in price and in
creased sale of st. Paul real estate.
| Secretary w. g. Gates, Board of Trade
Among the members on 'change there
is feeling that time of prosperity is
at hand. 1t is stated that trade is 20 to
% per cent better than for any CORE
| spending year-that is, in dry goods,
clothing, boots, shoes and staple arti-
cles; while in millinery and fancy
articles there is an increase of 80 per
cent. When times are hard and dull
there is slight trade in these luXuries.
So 1t is safe to gauge prosperous time
by their trade. Little complaint is
heard about collections: that is another
indication of prosperity. The North
west is at last entering upon another
term of activity, and will grow as it has
in the past.
Secretary Tallmadge, of the Chamber
of Commerce-The union members are
| all exceedingly happy over the outlook
and report that the sales this year are
larger than for some time. One firm re-
ported sales amounting to nearly 5000,
600 in August. At the fair the country
merchants spoke encOuragingly of the
future, showing feeling of great con
fidence.

The Foot Outfttars.

J. B. TarboX, of TarboX, Schliek &
Co.-The wholesale houses have already
felt an increase in business in anticipa-
pour into the state. My opinion is we
are going to have repetition of 's1 and
$50 over again. The large crop of 'S1
inaugurated very much better state of
things all over the country. The effect
of this c1op was not felt so much in
business circles until 1872. The same
thing will happen again. We will be-
gin to realize next year what this year
of plentiful harvests meant to us. 1t
will bring US more people, more money,
more good times. There will be money
for the farmer, the merchant, the man
ufacturer, the jobber, for everybody
for the country first and afterwards the
city. We have hardly had time to feel
this in our collections.
Theodore SchultZe, of Foote, Schultze
& Cove never had better prospect
of doing fine business since we have
been manufacturers. We are arranging
to increase our output so per cent next
our own goods than those of Eastern
make. st. Paul is getting to be one Of
the biggest shoe manufacturing centers
in the country, and all grades of goods
can be profitably made here. We some
times find it necessary to send East for
shoe-operator to run some special ma
chine, but have no difficulty in finding
plenty of skilled Workmen willing tC
come West, and when men once geI
here nothing can induce them to return
East again.. They are like everybody
else, when they ouce get West and see
what sort Of country it is they want t.
stay.

The City of st. Paul has, as yet, re-
Trained from making any public an
nouncement or demonstration of the
fact that no other city in the country
more rejoices in or will receive greater
benefit from the bounteous harvests
than herself. This city is the great
commercial metropolis-the jobbing and
railroad center of the Northwest-and is
more intimately connected than any
other with the immediate question of
the supply and demand of the great
agricultural country about US. Her
great jobbing houses are already work
ing day and night in response to the
wonderful impetus impaired by the
giant crops. and they tell story that
speaks more significantly than miles of
parades and acres of bunting. The
fascinating stories of trade revival
which merchants have told the GLOBE
and other st. Paul papers are here col
lated to make connected narrative.

George r.. Finch's Views.

George r. Finch, of Finch Van
Slyke 81 Co., was OF opinion that
there was prosperity in the ar.
The Minnesota harvest was revela-
ton. Where farmers looked for twenty
burshels of wheat to the acre they
threshed out twenty-five or thirty. The
agricultural interests of the state were
never in so prosperous condition.
'Our firm" said Mr.. Finch, stayed
by the merchants in the poorer Dakota
caunties. North and South, when every
thing looked black for them. They were
furnished with what goods they abso-
lutely needed to supply their trade.
They could sell nothing but the most
absolute necessaries. Now the Dakotas
are in the ascendant. Their crop is a
marvel. The farmers can and are pay
Ing their debts, and merchants are able
to meet all their old obligations and con-
tract any new debts they choose with
the full prospect Of being able to pay
to the minute when their notes come
due. We have twenty-five men out now
and are, as already stated, handling the
heaviest trade we have ever had. Our
prospects for the fall are brilliant, and
the turn of events we have so patiently
waited Tor has come"

William NJ. Bushnell, of the Standard

there will be largely increased bust
ness in our line during the coming year.
Certainly comparison of prices of St.
Paul realty and the many advantages
that this city possesses can only result
in favor of st. Paul. Tie $4,000, 900

four or five years ago some of
the merchants went out of business;
now the old merchants are going into
business again or new people are TAX
ing the old stands. The reason for this
is the belief that the farmers have lots
of good grain they can turn into money,
and thus pay for the goods they buy
and enable the merchants to pay
promptly the wholesale dealers. In
Short, the general prospect, as we see it,
is The best that has been for many years
and it is really all one can ask.
P. ii. Kelly, of the Kelly Mercantile
Company-The prosperity of this coun-
try for the next year seems assured.
The farmers have the wheat, aid there
is demand for it. 1t will bring a large
amount of money into the country trib-
utary to st. Paul, and pay off many
old debts. All the country merchants
are expecting good times. and are order
ing very freely. We have been doing all
the business we could properly care for
during the past few weeks. The low
price of groceries requires an extremely
large business to show up much in dol
lars and cents, but we have been doing
very we'll, and attribute large part of
its volume to the era of good feeling in
augurated by the good crops. COllec-
tions have been fairly good, and we ex
pect them to improve steadily.

modes of travel. These stages were
run day and night. and the trip between
terminals was made in about twenty

regularity this line was operated. lit

| arrival of the stage could be looked for
within few moments of schedule time.
When the line was first established
mules were used to draw the stages.
but for some reason their use was dis
continued and the common Texas
horses, called mustangs, were substi-
tuted. These mustangs were purchased
for mere song, and were as wild and
unbroken as the unsubjuga.ed horses
of the plains.
The substitution took place on the
trip made from Fort Belknap to St.
Louis. These animals were so untamed
that 1t took eight men to harness the
four brutes to the stage. One man
stood at the head of each mustang, an
other adjusted the harness. When all
was IN readiness the driver, a fearless
| trontiersman, mounted the box, adj
| lusted the reins, raised his whip and

| can be formed of the rate of travel when

| over in just forty-ive minutes, and L
| think every ten miles occupied about

the twlnkling of an eye, new and fresh
ones were harnessed, as before. and the
same process was gone through with
about the same result. On reaching

western terminus of the Central Pacific,
the passengers were transferred to the

the stimulus given to immigration. This
country will reach its highest state of
prosperity when all the land is occupied
and it is divided into small farms.
There will, undoubtedly be large adj
ditions to the population of the
Northwest as result of this years
crop, and the general permanent
prosperity will thus be increased.
Already the land sales along our lines
are increasing, and we confidently eX-
pect that the demand Will continue to
increase. While some of the sales are
to settlers who are already established
and are adding something TO their
farms, the most of them are new set
tiers. This result, as | said, is entirely
due to the crop yields, and the prosperity
of the whole Northwest, in that re-
spect, is sure to increase largely. There
is also tendency among the men who
own large farms to cut up their prop
erty into smaller parcels. AS the popu-
lati0n increases this practice will also
increase. III the matter OF business, of
course, there is season or good times
before US. The papers have been full
of it, everybody has been talking, and
nothing new can be said.
General Manager Mohler, of the same
line, says: The Great Northern is
amply prepared to handle all the grain
promptly, by an increase in its equip
ment over last year of l.600 cars. The
difficulty in furnishing cars does not
rest solely with the railroads. 1t
takes nearly as long to unload a
car at the terminal points as it
does to haul 1t 400 miles. If
the receivers of grain at terminal
points will give us the proper aid in
having cars promptly unloaded, there
need be but little complaint on the part
of the country shippers. All the roads
operating from st. Paul will be taxed
to their utmost the next twelve months
to transport the products grown. We
have returned to the prosperous times
