recent developments. we have had a
splendid advancement in manufacture
ing, and most of our finest buildings
! and residences have been put up during
the past few years, during a compare
lively quiet period"
Concerning collections Mr.. Dawson
said: The banks are having very good
collections and the wholesale merchants
must be feeling first rate. The activity
of money at present is rather desra-
bic feature. 1t shows that business men
have the nerve and confidence for mer-
camille operations. and the banks are
able to give their customers the2accom-
modations for the legitimate business. :"
Encouraging Reports.
Among various expressions of opin-
ion the following are presented:
John j. O'Leary & Sons, Pork Pack
ers-"Our business this year has been
so per cent greater than that of 1891,
and we will kill $4,000 head of hogs in
1892. We employ 200 men and do bust
ness in St Paul. South st. Paul, Mime
apOliS and st. Louis. Our goods are in
active demand from the state of. Wash
ington to New York, and in all of the
Southern states. The fact is, Mime
sofa pork, on account of certain desir-
able qualities, commands premium in
all markets. We do most of our pack
ing at the Union Stockyards, South st.
Paul, which we must say, are the best
managed and finest equipped yards in
the West.
Rudolph Rossum, of Scheffer Il Ros-
sum, Wholesale Saddlery and Saddlers'
HARDWARE think the jobberS are hay
ing the largest business they ever had.
Trade must be good all around. The
summer sales increased considerably,
and the orders for winter goods are so
heavy that we are hardly able to fill
them. The business of our firm in
creased 100000 during the past year. 1
presume that shelf hardware and sad
dlery goods are showing the largest per-
centages of increase in Jobbing.
Finch, Van Slyke, Young IL Co.,
Wholesale Dry Goods-We have just
completed our September accounts, and
September of last year. This is rather
surprising in view of the pleasant
weather, which enables the farmers to
continne their fall work. They are
making the most OF the good weather
condition that was reversed a year
ago. This fall work accounts for some
delay i'll collections, but we are satisfied
with the situation.
ID. F. Brown, Northwestern Hardware
Company-Our business has increased
40 per cent this year and is good in every
department. We have found a grow
ing demand for the finest kinds of
builders hardware and have met it with
these goods that are suitable for New
York, Boston or any other city. 1t
shows that fine buildings are going up
here.
Prospects Favorable.
Claiming Seabury, Seabury d Co.,
Wholesale GrocerS-Trade is all right,
quite as good as in 49,, and the pros
poets are very favorable. Our business
are little slow, but an improvement
can be looked for in this department
soon, when the farmers get their fall
work i'll shape and increase their mar
keting.
Charles Straus. Robinson, Straus &
Co., Wholesale Millinery-Our business
is III excess of last year, and the outlook
for the rest Of the season is rather bet
ter than heretofore. The collections
are fair.
Arthur & Abbott. Wholesale Notions
Trade Is fair with US. The collections
are little slow, but Our travelling men
ascribe that to the farmers be-
ing busy with the fall blowing,
ana All tnat. Iney could not
do fall work to the same advantage a
year ago. and they are getting in all the
hard licks" they can this season.
Richards Gordon. Gordon 81 Ferguson,
Wholesale Manufacturers of Furs, Hats
and Caps-Ihe season is splendid. We
have no complaint to make. ST. Paul
has all established reputation on fur
goods.
Generally, throughout the United
States, the trade conditions can be called
good. Iron and cotton are in demand,
two staples that caused apprehension in
the Southeast last year. The cholera
scare has abated, Western crops are
