ELECTION IN MAINE TODAY.

The state election in Maine is in prog
ress today, and, like the Vermont eff
Fort, IL is expected to be a pace-maker
an an indicator of the ensuing presiden-
tial election The campaign closed
saturday night with rallies in nearly
every part of the state The state will
go republican by a majority allthe way
fre.n 10000 TO $4,000, according 10 the
enthusiasm of suessers. According to
the statement of j. H. Manley, chair
man Of the republican state central
COMMITTEES. the republicans will poll
their full strength. and the vote will
show no falling off on their part The
republicans expect also TO carry every
eounFN in the state and elect a nearly
unanimous republican legislature.
Which Will re- elect Senator w p. Frye
In 1885 the republicans carried Maine
sf,y ts.3III plurality. In 1888 the repub-
lean plurality was 247e9.
With kaowl ledge that the election in

CHICAGO the PRICE MAKING CENTER.

Nearly all western people are pre-
pared to admit any claim Chicago may
make in the way Of commercial SUI
3premacy, tho such claim does stir New
York and other eastern points. Now
comes the Chicago Dry Goods Reporter
TO claim that Chicago is the great price
making center. 1t asserts that
The fact that Chicago has become the
price making center Of the country may
be demonstrated by a simple statement
Of the changes that have taken place.
In times past New York drew an enor-
nous trade from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin and the whole Of the Missls-
sippi Valley. Today no fair-minded
man will say that the New York jobber
has a strong hold on any part of the
west or northwest The eastern metrop-
dig has undisputed, sway only in its
normal territory-in New England and
in the states Immediately adjoining
New York has good southern trade
and is losing grip on 1t every season
1t is only necessary in this connection to
cite the note Of alarm sounded by Preei-
dent King OF the New York Merchants
Association, in which he frankly adj
mits that New York can stand no fur
Ather encroachment on its southern
trade. The truth OF the matter ID that
st Louis. Kansas City, st. Joseph, Min
neapolis, st. Paul and other cities, M
well as Chicago, are sencroaching upon
New FORKS former ddatrJhuAtng

strength. II further proof 10 needed to
SHOW that Chicago Is now and has been
Tor eeveral seasons the price making
center OF the country as3weh as the dis
tributing center. 1t may be found by q
visit to- great Office buildings like the
Medtnah Temple, in thie city. where the
rooms Will be found to be occupied by
agents OF New York houses. These
agents represent all kinds of jobbere
and display samples in all lines of goods.
They are eagerly trying to share IN the
patronage which now centers in Chtca-
go, and which no longer visits the New
York market. Go TO the principal down
town hotels in Chicago and you Will
find almost all the most important
suites Of rooms occupied by eastern
agents and their samples. trying to se-
cure here what they are no longer able
to command at home-a part of the
trade Of the middle west and southwest.
Nobody denies that New York is the
mill and factory headquarters of the
country at present. tho the rapid
strides made by the south would seem
to indicate that the eastern supremacy
in the manufacture of cotton goods Is
endangered. But the price making pow
err and the position of paramount dis
tributing center has already been trans
ferred to Chicago. This city enormous
lake traffic Of 10000 vessels annually.
and the fact that it has 63500 miles of
railroad to bring in and distribute its
products, have settled its position az
the ruling market. 1t is the center where
the prices Of foodstuffs are made, as
we'll az the prices of almost every kind
of domestic product.
Chicago probably has in the field a
larger force of commercial travellers
than New York. 1t supplies vastly
larger territory, and its aggregate of
genuine jobbing trade liz increasing
more rapidly than that of New York.
OF course. II is difficult for eastern mer-
chants and manufacturers to acknow-
ledge that the source of commercial gu
premacy has been transferred to the
western metropolis. 1t is true, never
theless. as proved By Chicago's lake and
railway tonnage. Probably New York ie
also as Yet unaware that Chicago could
at the present moment furnish al, the
money needed to move the crops Of the
country. westward the course of en-
pire takes its way. Chicago is now the
center of commercial empire on this
side of the Atlantic. The fact is stated
without boasting DRILL Will toward New
York. but even New York must in time
acknowledge what the Western mer-
chant ha 9 long realized.

dull at the close of the week, owing to
the proximity OF the state fair, which
will be held in the twin cities this week,
and jobbers are making active prepar-
5ations to receive a large number of out
side buyers. Dry goods are steady and
the winter demand for boots and shoes
lis large. Hardware is strong. and there
is an upward tendency in all lines OF
business materials. Groceries are firm,
and other staples steady. Local flour
mills last week did the largest bust
ness in many months.
AT st. Paul jobbers in all lines are
soverrun with customers here to attend
the state fair.
st. Louis reports that the arrival of
country merchants have broken all
records, exceeding the most sanguine
Janticipations. Purchases are liberal in
all lines, and in most cases exceed bus
mess in any previous presidential year.
Merchandise shipments are exception
ally heavy, but the movement of wheat
is not up to that of the two preceding
Weeks. Dry goods increased a bout 90
per cent over the corresponding week
last year and millinery shows about the
same percentage of gain. In shoes the
increase is about u per cent, and fac-
tories are fairly active. Groceries gain
ed IL per cent mainly in staple lines.
The clothing trade shows a slight im-
Sprovement, and hats are better by 10
per cent. Other jobbing lines average
about per cent Increase. Retail fur
niture and manufacturing orders in
creased 10 per cent while stoves gained
IS. Retail trade in the country is inn
proving, and collections are reasonably
free. Flour is in fair consumptive de-
mand. Real estate if fairly active and
local securities slightly better.
AT New Orleans trade in all lines has
been good and collections, are improv-
ing.
AT San Francisco exports on govern
ment account are heavy. 1t is thought
the salmon> pack in Washington and
British Columbia is not over one third
of last years. Alaska is expected to
show some increase, and better values
all around may swell disbursements to
last years totals
