GROWS WITH THE CITY.
The St. Paul Foundry and Manu-
featuring Company a Pioneer
Organization.

The St. Paul Foundry and Manu-
featuring Company a Pioneer
Organization.
When ST. Paul was a thriving little
city, growing with prodigal strides, the
st. Paul Foundry and Manufacture ng
company was instituted. No one
dreamed twenty years ago of the gigan-
tic magnitude of our city that was des
tined to mark the history of American
progress, but it was then that this eS-
adjustment was organized. The enter
priSIng gentlemen who conceived the
business had an abiding faith in the
future, however. But it remained to
the present concern, the st. Paul FOun-
dry company, which took active charge
of the affairs in 1888, to develop the i'll
stitutIon ana build upon the foundation
that had been so we'll laid. Originally
the foundry was located near Lafayette
avenue, but the business grew so rap
idly that more cOmmOdiouS quarters
had to be secured to accommodate the re-
quirements, and the huge plant was re-
moved to the present site on the Great
Northern Railway line, near Como
avenue, where they got excellent facili-
ties. Nine acres of land are used IN the
by the foundry company themselves,
and they are, consequently, independent
of any railway company, and their man-
ufaetures are shipped without delay.and
they receive their supplies with like
prOmptneSS.
The trade-it covers all the North
west, and extends even to the Pacific
slope-is growing year by year, and
there is no dealer in their line that is
not familiar with the foundry. The
reputation for reliability has become
prOverbial, and great future is before
them.
A separate establishment has recently
been added to the main factory. 1t is
the sash weight foundry, and it is now
III full operation. turning out sash
weights. horse weights, washers and
the like.
The main building is 40 feet by 25
feet. with an ell 4S feet by 100 feet, and
the foundry proper has a clear floor
space of 70 feet by 200 feet, while the
two cupolas have daily melting capac-
ity of sixty tons. The foundry always
carries all immense stock OF iron and
steel beams in all the common sizes and
lengths,a and the result is the company is
never troubled about filling an order at
once.
The principal business of the foundry,
by the way, is architectural iron work,
and this includes everything in the
catalogue. Quite an extensive business
is done in bridge castings and jobbing
of all sorts.
G. NJ. Powers is the manager of the
foundry. He is widely known and very
popular in the trade because of his con-
servative business methods. Mr. Pow
ers is young man, full of energy and
push. He was born in this state in
1859, and his home has been III the Cap
itol City since he was two years old. 1t
was in January, 1882. that Mr.. Powers
allied his skill and enterprise with the
st. Paul Foundry company, and his tact
soon challenged the admiration and his
faithfulnesS commanded the confidence
of his employers to that degree that he
was placed i'll charge of the business.
This event occurred in 1885.

MANAGED BY FREDERICK.
The Ryan Drug Company Is Build
ing Up a Large Trade.

Dennis Ryan. President; R. B.
Galusha, Vice President, and j. F. Brod-
erick, Secretary and Treasurer, form
what is known as the Ryan Drug COM
panY, of st. Paul. The business is
managed wholly by Mr.. Broderick, who
took his position in the establishment
when it was an entirely new and expert
mental enterprise in 1887. By some
means he has succeeded, in the four
years which have since elapsed, in
building up large trade and making
the Ryan Drug company peer i'll pub
lie esteem of any other wholesale house
engaged in this line of business in the
West. 1t is presumable that there are
two reasons for this: LII the first place
Mr.. Broderick is a gentleman of pleas
ing address, easily approachable, and
agreeable company; next, he exercises
excellent judgment in the choice of his
assistants. and, as he pays good salaries,
expects from them earnest and efficient
service.
Mr.. Broderick's early years were
spent in Buffalo, n. Y, and after having
received a classical education he re-
moved to Dubuque, Iowa, to begin the
world on his own account. His debut
in business was made in 1865, in the
wholesale clothing line, in which line
he was engaged till 1870, when he
changed to the wholesale grocery bust
ness. In 1878, he came to st. Paul to
enter the grocery house of P. F. Nc
Qulllan; he remained in the wholesale
grocery trade till 1887. and was one of
the most prominent st. Paul wholesale
grocers, being widely known from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. At the
Iattor 6afa 10 rafirah from thot firm, 10
take upon himself the active manage
ment of the Ryan Drug company, of
whose business he has made a brilliant
success.

A SOLID BUSINESS.
That Done by w. L.. Perkins & Co.,
$40 Robert Street.

One of the solid business houses of
the city is that of W. l.. Perkins & Co.,
319 Robert street. They are importers
and wholesale dealers in wines and
liquors. The house was established
away back in the primitive days of st.
Paul in 1859. Of course, in its incipient
days it was modest concern, but it has
grown with steady and sturdy strides
until the conduct of the business is
something of quite a magnitude. The
reputation of the house is that the
brands of liquors are rare and the
quality is the best. Messrs. w. l.. Per-
kins d Co. keep three competent and
experienced travelling statesmen, and
they cover the entire Northwest in their
peregrinatiOns. They never lose a Gus
toner once secured, and they are adding
new customers with the succession of
days.
W. L. Perkins came to ST. Paul in
1872 from New York, which was his
birthplace. When he arrived here, he
succeeded George Peabody, and placed
his own name at the head of the house.
Mr.. Perkins combines the essential ele-
ments of fidelity, integrity and good fell
lowship. and these have made him i'm
measurably popular throughout the
Northwest.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

New YoRK, July 1S.-The failure of the
English Bank of the River Plate was an
nounced in London this morning and caused
materially lower prices for all kinds of
stocks there. Our market felt the effects of
this decline. and while the opening prices
here were above the London equivalent large
fractions were Knocked off of most of the
active shares. The opportunity to sell the
market down was not TO be neglected by the
bears, however. and they joined with the
foreign sellers in pressing the market down.
The stocks which have On International mar
ket in the main suffered most IN
der the circumstances but Burlington
movement the bear pressure Icing
especially severe on account of some sup
perssed trouble in The coal trade. Each Of
these stocks lost per cent, while the rest Of
the list declined only fractional amounts.
The downward movement was checked be-
fore the expiration of the first half hour
however, and while there was no disposition
to buy for the long account, the covering Of
shorts helped prices up little, and later,
when bank statement was issued, showing
material gains in cash and surplus reserve,
the buying became more pronounced and the
upward movement was accelerated. Prices in
the last few minutes were brought up to about
the level of those of the opening and the
market closed firm though quiet at the re-
covery. The final changes are insignificant,
in all cases being generally the losses made
at the opening of business only. The trad
ing in railroad bonds went down to the
smallest proportions again to-day. the two
hours of business yielding sales of only S219,-
COO, while the fluctuations were confined to
correspondingly narrow range. and no de-
cided tendency of prices in either direction
was to be detected Government bonds have
been dull and steady. State bonds have
been neglected.
