A Fine New Bank.

We are in receipt of copy Of the
Big Stone County, (Ortonville, MINI.
Journal, which contains an extended
description of the handsome new bank
building erected this summer by the
Bank of Ortonville, Of which Mr.. E. J.
Weiser, formerly of this city, is cashier.
We quote part of the article:
The building is 25ft by 7Oft and is
built of Ortonville granite trimmed
with moulded pressed brick and copper
work. The entrance is reached by a
short flight of granite steps and opens
into the banking room proper, which
is 25ft by soft, furnished in quarter
sawed oak. The counters and wains-
cOting are also of quarter sawed pam
nelled oak with Tennessee marble base
and the floor is beautifully tiled.
The vault front and door is of q
special design made especially for this
bank by the Diebold Safe and Lock
Company of Dayton, Ohio, and weighs
about 1000 pounds. 1t is probably the
best vault door in Minnesota outside
of the big cities.
The second room Immediately back
of the banking room has been planned
and fitted expressly for the use and
accommodation of the public and GUS
toners Of the bank. In the rear of the
customers room is the private office
and directors room, coat room, lava
tories etc. In the basement is an
extra vault for the safe keeping of the
books and records of the bank and for
storing customers papers and other
valuables. The building is heated by
hot water and lighted by electricity and
has every modern convenience. 1t is
by far the best building ever erected in
this city, complete in every detail and
worthy the commentator of the peo-
pie of Ortonville. 1t is q credit to the
city and monument to the enterprise
of the bank officials. Much credit is
due the cashier, E. ]. Weiser who has
practically had the whole burden of
planning and managing the erection
of this splendid building. Ortonville
Is proud not only in the fact of having
the best banking building in the state
outside of the cities but also a bank
that is strong and solid as the rock of
Gibralter-capably and honestly con-
Quoted.

REVIEW OF THE WOOL MARKET

Boston, Feb. 6.-The American Wool
and Cotton Recorder Will say tomor-
row. There Is continued improve
ment in the movement OF wool but 1t
has been weak and lower, except on a
very few grades, such az washes, de
LANES and quarter blood unwashed
combings Some houses are willing to
sell at lower prices than others, so that
the market Is to a considerable extent
an irregular and uneven one, but 1t Is
possible TO buy nearly all grades OF
wool now at material concessions from
prices ruling month ago, and each
week sees some shading In values es
pecially on low territories.
Foreign woods also, under the influ-
ence OF the depression existing abroad
and the disappointing course of the
London sales are weak, and a consid-
cradle amount of speculative wool car
ried over from 1897 is reported to have
been disposed Of in this market In the
post week or ten days at material
concession In price.
"The course Of the goods market thus
far has been a slow on.-- The present
volume of orders is unsatisfactory in
size. but It Is considered a healthy one

conservative course and such orders as
they have given are not likely to be
Cancelled.
Taken altogether, the situation ia
unsatisfactory. although II Is crafty
ing to know that basis has at length
been reached ON which manufacturers
are willing TO operate, but there Is lit
tie satisfaction for the wool merchants
in doing business on the level of to-
days market,
'The sales for the week in Boston
amounted TO 3iltS40 pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, making a
total Of $3.50, 400 pounds, against total

total OF 3,Sl2,0O0 for the corresponding
week last year The sales since January
