Nine-tenths of the sardines consumed in the United States come from Maine. Very few of the real French fish are imported now. These Yankee sardines are nothing but small herring put up in boxes with gaudy labels and:French inscriptions. In Eastport there are nineteen places where they turn out sardines, besides three at Lubec, two at Jonesport, and one each an Millbridge, La- moine and Robinston. In 1876 a firm did a lucrative business packing ‘‘Russian sar- dines” at Eastpdért. These were little herring packed in small wooden kegs preserved with spices of different kinds. It occured to one member of the firm that these little fish might be utilized to better advantage by cooking them and packing them in olive oil, like the French sardines. The experiment had been tried several years before without success. The difficulty was to eradieate the taste of the herring. It was easy to cook the herring, pack them in olive oil and_, seal them air tight, but when they were opened they had not the rich, spicy flavor of the reg- ular French sardines. After a great many experiments one of the manufacturers suc- ceeded in producing a mixture of oils and spices which removed the difficulty. The herring used for making sardines are about four inches long, and are taken in great quantities along the Maine and New Brunswick coast. They can be bought of the fishermen for about $5 a hogshead, although when the fish are scarce, as they often are in the spring, they bring asmuch as $15 a hogs- head. After being captured the fish are taken immediately to the factory and laid in heaps upon long tables. The first thing is to decapitate and clean the fish. The dexterity with which the operation is performed by the children who are employed is remarka- ble. On an average seventy-five fish are cleaned and decapitated every minute by each child. Both operations are performed with one stroke of a sharp knife. A box holding about a bushel lies at the feet of each operator, and as the cleaning is completed the fish slide into the box. The pay for this work is ten cents per box, and some of the children make $1.50 per day. After being washed the herring are pickled for half an hour, and then laid upon trays and plaeed in a large drying room heated by steam. After the fish aredry they are thrown into large shallow pans of boiling oil and thoroughly cooked. They are then paeked in tin boxes by girls and women, and in each box is poured a quantity of the patent mix- ture of oils and spices, Covers are then fitted to the boxes and then sealed on by men. As air must be excluded, the cans, when sealed, are placed in a tank of boiling water where they remain half an hour, and are then re- moved and placed on an inclined plane, so that the air rushes to one corner of the box. This corner is punctured with an awl, the hot air eseapes, and the can is made air tight by adrop of solder. ‘The boxes are then ornamented with attractive French la- bels, stating that the enclosed are “Sardines ala Francaise;” some are labeled ‘a Vhuille olive.” The oil used is cotton- seed oil, such as is made in South Carolina. It is not always the best quality of oil. The best oil is used, however, for the fish soldas “prime.” There are prepared at these factories other varitties of fish known as ‘‘mustard,” ‘‘mar- anees”’ and “sea trout.” The mustards are prepared like the sardines until they are put in the cans. They are packed in a prepara- tion made of mustard, vinegar and oil, with a soupcon of spice. The mustards are larger fish than the sardines. The marnees are packed in a sauce made of vinegar, spices, lemon and sugar, and the sea trout are large herriag put np in oval boxes with still anothér sauce. Almost the entire product of these factor- ies is shipped to New York, whence it is sold to retailers all through the country. One of the Lubec houses prepared about 4,500 boxes aday. The actual cost per box, including all expenses, is about five cents. Thefprofit made by the packers is from five to seven cents. The difference between these prices, and what the consumer pays for the fish at the grocery goes into the pockets of the gro- ceryman. Michigan Wants a Flavored Cigar. From the Syracuse Standard. The veteran cigar manufacturer, Joseph Barton said, in regard to the eolor of tobac- co: Sweating or curing tobacco is done to take the vegetable taste out of it. It isa slow process ot cooking. The tobacco having gone through the process of sweating, is sometimes light, sometimes dark. It is not necessarily stronger for being dark, or milder for being light. We zolor our cigars to suit our trade. We can give them any shade of brown they want. We flavor only our cheaper grades, though many manufacturers flavor their best 10-cent cigars. In some partsof the West, Michigan, for instance, the trade demands a flavored cigar. In regard to ash, gray is the best color. A black ash is always bad. A white ash is not necessarily good; neither is it necessarily bad. It may be either. Men, New Yorkers especially, accustomed to smoke the best imported cigars, are suspic- ious of a very waite ash. Our American seed cigars burn, as a rule, a whiter ash than imported Havanas of the poorer grades. Most of our domestic cigars are superior to the cheaper class of Havana cigars imported into this country. Bad Investments. A banker was playing the devoted to a handsome widow who had buried three husbands. Last week he concluded to call for a setttement. ° “My dear madam,”’ he began, ‘‘you may have noticed that I have felt more than an ordinary interest in you; such an interest, madam, as might be termed usuary in busi- ness circles. In fact, madam, I want to go into copartnership with you; marry you, in other words.” “I’m very sorry, indeed sir, but ’m prom- ised to another. I am sure I feel highly hon- ored, and I—” “Don’t mention it, madam, don’t mention it. If you have issued fourth mortgage bonds on yourself, I haven’t a word to say. I was willing to take the risk in your case, but let me give you a pointer; I don’t grab up promiscuous stock with fourth mortgage on it, as a business. It’s a bad practice, and I know men who have been ruined by it. NO WONDER SHE WAS JEALOUS. Disadvantage of the Names Used in the Cigar Trade. ‘ “The fact is, boys,” remarked a well- known traveling man, “it will never do to carry a letter when you are fooling around dimity.” “Did you ever get caught?” spoke up a man with a rent in his breeches. “Yes. Iused tocall on a young lady in Hopkinsville, and—now this must not go any further.” , “By no means!” and all spoke in chorus. “Go on.” “Well, 1 thought considerable of the girl and I afterwards became satisfied that she was considerably ‘gone’ on me. Trip be- fore last I made it a point to remain in the town over night, and about 19:30 o’clock I called at the residence, having previously sent a boy around to inform her. I was met at the door by as pretty a girl as Kentucky eyer produced, and was greeted with a pair of as bright and dancing eyes as any houti ever possessed. We had hardly been seated before she began going through my pockets ina mischievous manner. I had several letters which I did not want her to see, that I had left in my sample case, knowing her curiosity and pick-pocket proclivities from former occasions. I had received a letter from the house regarding my line of goods by the late mail, and fearing nothing I had put it in my pocket. She found it. I told her it was a business letter and would not interest her.” “Did it?”? inquired one of his hearers. “Didn’t it? Here is the letter:” DEAR JIM—You don’t seem to think enough of ‘‘Jessie.”” Keep her ‘away up,’’ for I tell you she is straight goods. I don’t go much on your “Little Pride,’ for even the ‘‘Lovely Lass”’ is far superior, and you know I always thought the aforesaid Lass is a fraud. You may also push ‘‘My Beauty” and ‘‘My Sweet Lips.”’ You are not doing enough with either though you.are continually freezing to your “Little Pride.””’ The “Southern Bell’ is taking among traveling men, but she is hardly light enough for the old timers. Business is good at home. Chew “Bright Eyes” and then tell me what you think. Yours in haste, HARRY. “She glanced over the letter, screamed— they all seream—and then she cried—they allery. As soon as she could catch her breath, with suppressed anger and disap- pointment, mixed in equal quantities, she addressed me, who was in entire ignorance of the cause: ** “You base wretch! You deceiver! You professed affection for me and at the same time have a’troop of female admirers, and whose affection, no doubt, you return! Your ‘Jessies,’ ‘Little Prides’ and ‘Lovely Lassies !’ I do not know who Harry is, nor I don’t want to know, but he must be a nice gentle- man, truly, when he wants you to push his ‘Sweet Lips.’ Oh! you horrid dissembler. But I could stand all but the last line: ‘Chew Bright Eyes and tell me what you think.’ Oh? “She flopped in the center of the parlor,” continued the cigar man, ‘‘and the fall ar- roused the family. The old lady came run- ning in in her night clothes, and the old man had nothing on to speak of except a shot gun and a load of astonishment which changed to vengeance when he saw his daughter in hysterics on the carpet. There were no two horns to my dilemma, and I grabbed the only one and my hat at the same time and I left the town on a midnight freight, and have not visited the place since.” Corners and Syndicates. The tendency of the age seems to be to divert business from legitimate channels into speculative schemes, through the oper- ation of combinations—so-called syndicates. Prices of commodities are no longer regula- ted according to the law of supply and de- mand, but are raised and lowered through the influence of combined capital acting in harmony for the accomplishment of a com- monend. ‘Trade organizations, under the name of Exchanges, are often made _ instru- ments in the hands of operators schooled in “corners,” whereby legitimate traders are “squeezed” and fleeced when engaged in transactions which are not supposed to largely involve the element of speculation orrisk. Transactions that for years were confined to railway shares, grain, pork, and a few staple commodities, have come to be common in very many channels of trade; in fact, inthe department of groceries, the legitimate trader finds his calculations set at naught at almost every turn, and sees not only the profits due to a judicious invest- ment of capital and a conservative system of business turned into the pool, but too often a portion of the original{investment as well.

Time was when she was indelent or pert, but now she is judicious, and when asked for anything She always informs her- self as to the customer’s intention before making the smallest movement to find the goods desired. ‘‘Chenille?” she says grave- ly; “you mean chenille cord?” “‘‘Yes.” “Red chenille cord?” “Yes.” “Bright red?” “Yes.” “Well, we haven’t it.” “Black erochet buttons?” “Yes.” ‘What color?” “Black.” ‘Yes. Large or small?’’ “Large.” ‘“There’s the card,”’ she murmurs gently. ‘“Yellow—dotted—net? Yellow? And dotted? Yellow dotted net? Hm—m—! Yes! No, we have none.”’ And the employ- ers of the judicious grieve over their loss of custom, An Indiana family that uses black tea be- cause they are in mourning are probably as sincere mourners as though they wore crape : Po Qa 2 Cs r On Li NAS p in a I THE SUPREME COURT. Digests of Commercial Decisions Recently Handed Down. The rule that a lease for more than a year is void unless in writing has nothing to do with a case where a man makes an oral agreement to take the premises for a year from some future date. The agreement and the lease are two different things. (Camp- bell, J.) Whiting vs. Ohlert. If aman by word of mouth orders a $60 overcoat from Mr. Rasch and asks that it be made according to a specified sample, and when it has been delivered sends if back to be altered, and finally concludes that he does not want.it, he cannot, at that late stage, claim that his order was one of the kind that would have to be in writing to be worth any- thing, because the goods have already been delivered, and if returned to the tailor are held at the customer’s commands. (Sher- wood J.) Rasch vs. Bissell. One Scotchman forwarded a lot of lumber by rail to another at St. Ignace. It was to be inspected by a railway offcial, but the pur- chaser would not wait, and not only used a great deal that the inspector passed, but some that he rejected. Of eourse there arose a dispute about payment, and the first one had to brig suit. When he came to prove quantity he told how much he had shipped but the other objected that this was no proof of the amount delivered. It bore upon it, however, and one who had taken away most of the stuff, and thereby made the facts hard to prove, could not object to such items of evidence as were accessible. The judge strained his discretion, however, in letting the plaintiff ehange his eleetion of counts from common to special after the proofs were in; but asin this particular case the evi- denee would have been the same under both, the error was of little consequence. (Cooley, J.) McLennan vs. McDermid. Clerk as Agent or Partner. When a clerk or agent is by agreement to receive a fixed portion of profits as compen- sation for his time or labor, he does so as clerk or agent and not as partner. But where one advances money under an agree- ment that the prinelpal is to be refunded, but for compensation he is to share in the net profits of the adventure, this makes him a partner, for he shares in the profits as a principal and not as a clerk or agent.—Cath- ran vs. Marmaduke, Supreme Court of Tex- as. Larceny and Embezzlement. The felonious appropriation of goods by a servant or agent who has merely the custody of them, is larceny. Where he has the man- ual possession of the goods, his felonious ap- propriation of them is embezzlement. Gen- erally, when the agent has received goods or money to carry, deliver, control or manage for his principal, unless he parts with the manual possession of the property to his principal, or to another for him, or places it in some depositary, such as a drawer or safe provided for the purpose and to which the principal or superior agent has access, or over which they have control, he cannot be con- victed of larceny for felonous iapproepriation of the goods or money. The offense is em- bezzlement.—Warmouth vs. the Common- wealth, Kentucky Court of Appeals. Killed the Measure It Endorsed. From the Merchants’ Review. As the Merchants’ Review predicted, the + convention of representatives of mercantile bodies called at Washington, last week, to “voice the sentiment of the business world’’ on bankruptcy legislation, amounted t little. It found the sentiment of eongress- men, especially from the West and South, decidedly against any legislation—especially against the Lowell bill. This acted asa wet blanket to the convention. Then the convention was of a one-sided representa- tion. Only the creditor class of the large cities were represented, and the bulk of these were from the East. The country banks. the small jobbers and retailers of the West, the distributors of merehandise and the last collectors from consumers, in short, all representatives of the debtor class were absent. Legislation in the interest—or even according to the views of a one-sided con- vention like this, is impossible. It would frame a law in a spirit necessarily hostile to the class most interested in fair adjust- ments; against the class in whose prosper- ity and solvency the country is far more in- terested than in those of the big capitalists. The Washington convention, therefore, practically killed the measure it endorsed, if it did not prevent all bankruptcy legisla- tion for the present. When the intelligent, public-spirited and fair-minded business men of this country want to secure national bankruptcy legislation, they must begin at the circumference to create public senti- ment and work in towards the various hubs of trade. When they want such laws they must interest the distributors and debtor classes to start the movement. Every move of this kind that begins at the center will be damned in advance. Preparation of Camphor. Camphor is made in Japan in this way: After a tree is felled to the earth it is cut up into chips, which are laid in atub ona large iron pot partially filled with water and placed over a slow fire. Through holes in the bottom of the tub steam slowly rises, and, heating the chips, generates oil and camphor. Of course the tub with the chips has a closely fitting cover. From this cover a bamboo pipe leads to a succession of other tubs with bamboo connections, and the last of these tubs is divided into two compart- ments, one above the other, the dividing floor being perforated with small holes to allow water and oil to pass to the lower compartment. The upper compartment is supplied with a straw layer which catches and holds the camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes to the cooling process. ‘The camphor is then separated from the straw, packed in wooden tubs, and is ready for the market. ‘The oil is used by the natives for illuminating and other purposes. Man at Telephone—“‘Confound you! Can’t you hear? I hear you easy enough.” And there came through the instrument these re- markable words: ‘Should think you might. You’ve got a big advantage over me. Just think of the sizeof your ear!’ The man thew down the receiver with a jerk, and vowed that the telephene was a_ blankety FACTS AND FIGURES. The Shoe and Leather Trade of Michigan.

SHOE MANUFACTURES, The last census shows the number of shoe factories in the State to be 10, employing a capital of $343,500, furnishing employment to 783 men, the total annual wages of which are $340,172. The total value of the mater- ials consumed is $736,184, which includes 62,002 sides of sew leather, 167,172 sides of upper leather, and 57,645 pounds of other materials. The total production is valued at $1,216,255, which includes 153,969 pairs of boots, valued at $421,900, and 596,344 pairs of shoes valued at $782,395. LEATHER TANNED. There are 66 tanneries inthe State, em- ploying an aggregate capital of $1,081,489, employing 461 hands, the annual wages fof which are $222,228. Of hemlock bark, 21,- 139 tons are used, and 1,205 tons of oak bark, besides $1,474 worth of sumac and other materials, 184.001 hides and 341,793 skins, the total value being $1,450,559. The totel value of the products is $2,029,653, which comprise 368,022 hides and 331,793 skins. LEATHER CURRIED. There are 44 currying establishments in the State, employing $356,311 capital, em- ploying 116 men, the annual wages of which are $51,950. Of materials, 101,308 sides, 62,351 skins, and 33,226 gallons of oil are used, the total value of which is $812,065. The total value of the product is $996,932, which comprises 161,208 sides and 63,351 skins. Wanted a Partnership. “So you want a partnership in my house?” said a merchant to a gentleman just intro- duced to him. “Yes sir, that’s what I am looking for.” “What qualifications have you?’ “Well, 1 went into business for myself five years ago with not a cent of capital and failed three months ago for $300,000 even.” “Good Heavens! do you call that a recom- mendation?” ‘“‘Rather.,’ “Well, I don’t see it.’ “Of course, I might have done better if 1 had been a little more experienced, but you see it was this way: I had nothing to start with and when I settled I paid twenty cents on the dollar, deducting bad debts, rent, elerk hire, etc, it left me just $150,000 for my five years’ labor and enterprise. It ought to have been $200,000, I know; but a man can’t always hit it the first time. Rest as- sured, sir, I will never be caught that way again.” “Ahem, ahem,’ hesitated the merchant, “eome around to-morrow, and we'll talk the matter over at our leisure.” Small Laths. Some dealers are arguingin favor of lath of smaller dimensions. The old size of 4x 114 inehes has given away to some extent to 3¢x114, but less width is wanted, say 3¢x13¢. The latter size would permit the loading of 60,000 lath in a car of 24,000 pounds, while but 50,000 can be loaded of the present size. Less plastering is required for the thin lath, and they are preferred by many on that ac- count. ‘Adding Insult to Injury. “Madam, you have destroyed five dollars’ worth of merchandise,” angrily remarked a dude to a lady, as she seated herself in a chair in which he had deposited a new Derby hat. ‘Serves you right,” she replied, slowly rising from the ruin; “‘yoeu had no business to buy a five dollar hat for a fifty cent head.” The boy who was caught laughing after his teacher had thrashed him because the master had licked the wrong boy, had better send his congratulations to Charles Godfrey, of Middleton, New York, whose daughter of 13 years was recently married by her mother, contrary to her father’s wish, toa man much older than herself. Godfrey hired two burly negroes to thrash the venerable bridegroom, he himself mounting a flight of stairs where the new husband’s rooms. were situated, whence he intended to throw him to the eolored men below. But instead of meeting his son-in-law, he met his. own wife, Mrs. Godfrey, who pushed him down stairs in the the dark. The colored men, supposing that he was the man whom they had been hired to thrash, proceeded to earn their money so honestly as to leave their employer half dead in the hallway. American ideas run so largely in the di- rection of creation, invention, and device, it is not at all surprising to hear that a Yankee has proposed to the Italian Government to construct a tunnel in the side of Mt. Vesuv- ius for the purpose of letting the superfiu- blank humbug, and he’d have the darned DIG DIOP ONY ous lava into the sea instead of spurting out | Pen Portaits ef Grand Rapids Travelers. A new feature will be inaugurated next week in the shape of brief biographical skethtes of the leading commercial travelers who go out from this market. It is intended to make the articles as unlike the traditional biography,as possible, giving little attention to the generally uninteresting facts surround- ing the date and place of nativity, and other minor matters to the general reader. By re- fraining from giving undue prominence to purely personal affairs, the articles can be enlivened by anecdotes, episodes and charac- teristics of the subject treated, and made to be of universal interest.. The identity of each subject will be disclosed a week or two in advance, and as the natiye modesty of each will preclude the bringing out of many essential features, the editor will be under obligations for pointers and contributions in any way bearing on the topic under discus- sion. The opening sketch will relate the princi- cipal events and a few of the many exper- iences in the life of Alonzo Seymour—the pi- ioneer grip-carritr out of Grand Rapids. A Clean-Cut Steal. From the Allegan Gazette. Investigation by the assignee shows a pe- culiar and not very satisfactory state in the affairs of Louis Brown, the clothing dealer who failed last week. His liabilities, all for goods bought in 1883, are $4,603.75, while his assets are but $1,605, his stock of goods, out of which he has taken $250, his exemp- tion, leaving only $1,355 for the creditors. Brown came here from Chicago nearly two years ago, bringing a stock of goods from Holland, where, he says, he had long kept a branch of his Chicago establishment. He claims to have had a branch store at Hes- peria, and to have closed it out a couple of months ago, bringing the remnant of his stock here. When he first came to Allegan he occupied a small room on Hubbard street, apparently with an old and mixed stock. Some months ago he took his present quarters opposite the Chaffee House, and made a more pretentious show, but the ap- Deaisers say the bulk of it is still old and dirty. A Canal Street Clerk’s Slight Mistake. “Speaking of umbrellas,” remarked a young man with a $500 notion and a $10 salary, “recalls a very unpleasant exper- ience. I was in a Monroe street cigar store the other day, and I put my $1 gingham umbrella by the door. Allat once lt saw a man walking off with it. ‘I think you’ve made a mistake, my friend,’ said I, ‘that’s my hat preserver.’ ‘Oh, excuse me,’ said he, ‘so it is; I took it by mistake,’ and then, blame me, if he didn’t pick up his own um- brella, and it was a $10 silk one with a carved ivory handle. That was the um- brella that he was leaving me, and like a blasted fool, I didn’t know enough to keep my mouth shut. I’ve been swearing at myself ever sinee.”’ : Good Words for the Small Dealer. “A marked peculiarity of the present time,” said a leading jobber, “‘is the charae- ter of most of the failures that are oecur- ring. Men who are carrying the largest loads, and small concerns which we expected would go down at the first adverse breeze, have held up manfully, most of them, and are paying their bills with a promptness that actually surprises us; while firms that were rated high, and were considered very de- sirable customers, have made most disastrous failures. Nine-tenths of our losses during the past six months have unexpectedly eame from the latter class of dealers.” Caulfield’s Column. Attention is called to the full-column ad- vertisement of John Caulfield on another page. The statements made and _ prices quoted are characteristic of the mam and house, and will undoubtedly find a hearty response wherever either are known.

After taking the wood out they measure the water and de- duct it from 128 cubic feet. leaving only a fraction of a cerd of wood. “My mother says your father has gone into bankruptcy,” said one little girl to an- ‘other, ‘What is bankruptcy, Nellie?” “Tf don’t know exactly,” replied Nellie, “but I *spects it’s something awful nice. Pa used to work awful hard, and used to go round in his old clothes; but since he has gone into bankruptcy he dresses up every day, and doesn’t do anything but walk around just -like a perfect gentleman.” Mr. Townsend MacCoun, of New York and Chicago, urges the adoption of a new system of graded discounts to the book trade, which he believes to be a true basis of sales. It is substantially as follows: “After publi- cation one volume or more, and less than five, 25 per cent.; five volumes or more, and less that ten, 331¢ per cent.; ten volumes or more, and less than twenty-five, 40 per cent. ; twenty-five or more, and less than fifty, 46 and five per cent.; fifty volumes or more, and less than one hundred, 40 and 10 per cent.; one hundred volumes or more, 50° per MICHIGAN TRADESMAN, A JOURNAL DEVOTED TO THE Mercantile avid anufacturing Interests of the State. 'E. A. STOWE, Editor and Proprietor. Yerms $i a year in advance, postage paid. Advertising rates made known on application. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13, 1884. (Ss Subscribers and others, when writing to advertisers, will confer a favor on the pub- lisher by mentioning that they saw the adver- tisement in the columns of this paper. The financial situation throughout Europe inspires the gloomiest forebodings. —eaeenennd Four months ago THE TRADESMAN de- clared the new State assignment law to be a “pernicious piece of legislation.” And the experience of the past five months amply corroborates the statement. . eee By furnishing her rooms at Windsor with Irish poplin, the Queen expects to make that material fashionable and set the looms of Ireland humming again. Unfortunately, however, the Queen is no longer the leader of the fashions. Mr. Worth is the individual to give Irish poplin a boom. ES “The standard of commercial integrity is low,” says the Chicago Inter Ocean. ‘‘“Many things pass for sharp and shrewd which are simply disreputable. The man who robs by deception is no better than a sneak thief, and is far more dangerous. ‘Business is business’ is a phrase that covers more sins than charity.” SD The decision of the Supreme Court, an- nulling the insolvency law of 1883, is hailed with satisfaction by the business men of Michigan, as the new statute had few friends from the first and was rapidly disgusting everyone who had occasion to acquaint him- self with its workings. The new law con- tained some commendable features, notably the non-preference clause, but its pernicious provisions more than overballanced the for- mer. The old law contains many objection- able features, but it has the advantage of be- ing thoroughly understood, and will undoubt- edly give more general satisfaction. TR The strike of the Fall River cotton opera- tives, by which 30,000 hands are thrown out of employment, is one of the most significant industrial events which have occured in the present period of depression. It is said the shut-down at Fall River is to be followed by a curtailment of production throughout Massa- chusetts. The reasons are twofold for this New England depression and strike—over- production and inability to compete with the mills of the South, which have their raw,ma- terial at their doors. Southern mills make no complaint, and are credited with being quite prosperous. A ST TES The differences between the window- glass workers and their employers, which have lasted for seven months, have been ac commodated and the laborers, to the number of twenty-five hundred, have returned to work. Both parties, we are told, have made concessions. This was almost a matter of course. Such variances are nearly always determined by compromise. The hardship ot this strike, as usual, has fallen mainly on the workmen. The shut-down enabled the manufaeturers to keep up the price of glass. They have worked off their stocks at their accustomed profits. A half million dollars in wages have been lost, and no point gained, except to compel the people: of the country to pay more for their window-glass than it was worth. Wages, we are informed, are to be adjusted on a sliding scale, governed by the card rate on glass. This is a restrictive, un- wise system. Its purpose and effeet are to eurtail production and consumption. The profits of employers and workmen ought rather to lie in the direction of increased pro- duction and consumption. The same princi- ple applied to all the industries would pro- duce utter stagnation. KALAMAZOO CAPITALISTS. A Classified List of the Rich People cf That Piace. A Kalamazoo correspondent writes: ‘A recent count of the noses of the people residing here worth $100,000 and over places the number at 50. In making up the list, hair-splitting accuracy is impossible, much of the data being gathered from general rep- utation and commercial ratings. The list may be assumed, however; to be reliable in the main, the exceptions being four persons, whom a majority of those supposed to know, place in the list, and whose disability would be cured by substituting $75,000 for $100,000. Grouping the names,the showing is about as follows: Col. Frank B. Stockbridge, L. B. Kendall and J. P. Woodbury, $500,000 to 31,000,000; many rate Mr. Stockbridge at from %$1,000,- 090 to $2,000,000; Mrs. T. Israel, Nehemiah Chase and Latham Hull. $300,000; Mrs. G. Cc. Burnham, Leroy Cahill and H. M.

Stout, grocer, Cedar Springs: ‘Your paper is a long-felt want, and is worth dou- ble the amount of the subscription price to any merchant.” A.*Young & Sons, general dealers,. Tonia: “Your paper is the best of the kind we have ever seen. We have tried different ones, but none suited us before.” es Spalding & Thayer, drugs and groceries, Lyons: “We value the paper highly and would not do without it. The market re- ports are alone worth the price of the paper.” J. Vanderburg, buyer for Wyman Bros., Wyman: “After reading your paper for two or three months, I couldn’t get along with- out it. It isagreat help to me in buying, as you quote prices correctly.” S. D. Thompson, groceries and produce, Newaygo: “I like the paper well, and always have. See you have given me a send-off with laurels equal to Julia A. Moore as a poet. You have my best wishes for your success.” J. McKelvey, general dealer, Maple Grove: “There is only one thing needed to make your paper perfect, and that is a dead-beat list on the back of the supplement of those persons who leave a place without payin all their store bills.” : From Brady’s Late Stamping Ground. From the Luther Lance. THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN is a_wel- come visitor to our exchange table. It is reliable and enterprising, and every mer- chant should take it. Looks Like Success. From the Charlevoix Journal. The advertising patronage of the Grand Rapids TRADESMAN has increased so that a full page supplement is necessary. That looks like suecess. Most of Them Do.

SURG T gee Ty Alabastine is the first and only prepara- tion made from calcined gypsum rock, for ‘application to walls with a brush, and is fully covered by our several patents and perfected by many years of experiments. It is the only permanent wall finish, and admits of applying as many coats as de- ‘ sired, one over another, to any hard surface without danger of scaling, or noticeably adding to the thickness of the wall, which is strengthened and improved by each ad- ditional coat, from time to time. It is the only material for the purpose not dependent upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore it is the only preparation that is claimed to possess these great advantages, which are essential to constitute a durable wall finish. Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age, moisture, ete. ; the plaster absorbs the admixtures, forming a stone cement, while all kalsomines, or other whitening preparations, have inert soft chalks, and glue, for their base, which are rendered soft, or scaled, in a very short time, thus necessitating the well-known great incon- venience and expense, which all have ex- perienced, in washing and scraping off the old coats before refinishing. In addition to the above advantages, Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires but one-half the number of pounds to cover the same amount of surface with two coats, is ready for use by simply adding water, and is easily ap- plied by any one. bh tebe beebas ——FOR SALE BY ALL Faint Dealers. ___ MANUFACTURED BY— THE ALABASTINE COMPANY M.

LYON & ALLEN, REVIEW OF THE MARKETS, ‘ The Dry Goods Market. There was considerable activity in East- ern dry goods markets last week, princi- pally in plain and colored cottons. The Eastern mills have materially reduced pro- duction, goods are lower now than they have been for many years and stocks are well eleaned up—such are the facts to which the improvement is due. From all over the State comes the assuring intelli- gence that the bottom has been touched, and that the spring trade gives promise of a profitable business. The Provision Market. Pork took a big upward jump again Monday, and experienced buyers declare that the end is not yet. Beef is also on the ascending scale, with every indication of 1ts reaching an unusual elevation. The Drug Market. The drug business continues fair to good, with promise of an active spring business. Collections are gradually improving—indeed there has been very little cause for com- plaint in this respect. The market changes are few and unimportant. Quotations of paints, oils, and painters’ supplies are added to the regular drug price current with this issue, and will be a regular feature of the paper hereafter. The Grocery Market. Several houses have experienced the old- time activity during the past week, and the others report a fair business, with indica- tions of still further improvement. Collec- tions have been better so far this month than last. Sugars are about a sixpence easier, but as the decline is evidently 0 tempor- ary, the quotations are left the eas last week. Teas have advanced from 2 to 5ce at the Eastern markets, but local jobbers have large stocks on hand and will not advance prices until compelled to do so.

Failure at Greenville. Jas. D. Mills, dealer in clothing and gents’ furnishing goods at Greenville, is the first dealer to give his creditors the benefit of the insolvency law now in force. January 21, he gave Leroy Moore a chattel mort- gage for $2,000 to cover money borrowed from the bank with which Mr. Moore is identified; and on Saturday last he gave another mortgage for $6,838 to cover the claims of Schloss Bros., Goodyear Rubber Co., Lehman & Richan,J. Lowenstein & Co., Hickcock, Essellyn & Co., Jas. Scott & Co., and Gimble, Florsheim & Co. The assets are not worth more than the two mortgages, and as there are $18,000 liabilities, about $10,000 worth of claimsare left unsecured,on which creditors will realize little or noth- ing. Suave Men Not Always Henest. “T thought that man Brady was a rogue,” said a local jobber the other day, referring to the Luther knave. “I formed that opinion of him the first time I ever saw him. He looked too smiling, and had a simper-like expression about his eyes. In a business ex- perience covering over a dozen years I have been ‘let down’ more by that class of men— three times over—than by the rough, gruff fellows, who almost invariably have a honest heart beneath a grim exterior.” Gibbons’ Gain. Stephen Cool, assignee fer Joseph Gibbons, a small dealer.at 105 Third street, has filed the report of an inventory of the stock, ac- counts, ete., from which it appears that the cost value of the stock is $372.37, and the appraised value $319.80, which with. $42.50 book accounts, make the total assets 332.30. The total liabilities are $651.94, distributed ameng seven creditors in the following amounts: Voigt, Herpgisheimer & Co., G’d Rapids ee eo I. E.

The Supreme Court Annuls the Now Assign- ment Law. . The announcement, Saturday morning, that the Supreme Court had declared the assignment law of 1883 to be unconstitution- al created something of a sensation in com- mercial circles, as the recent decisions by Judge Mills, of the Kalamazoo Circuit, and Judge Withey, of the United States Court, sustaining the validity of the enactment, had caused businesg men generally to accept the law as a fixed fact. Although there is still considerable ‘ speculation as to what effect the decision will have on insolvency cases now in process of settlement, it is thought that a way can be devised to avoid litigation; and as the provisions of the old law are thoroughly understood, future diffi- culty is not apprehended. Justice Champlin of the Supreme Court was seen regarding the decision declaring the assignment law of 1883 unconstitutional, and asked regarding the history of the case. He said that it grew out of the failure of L. F. Mumford, doing business at Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, a history of whose case was given in THE TRADESMAN several weeks ago. It was claimed that he gave a chattel mortgage to seeure a debt, but that it was not filed for over a year. Then it was placed on file and a new one also given. Mumford also conveyed his ‘property at Battle Creek to his wife, claiming that he was in debt to her, and there were other preferences. He made an assignment stb- ject to the two mortgages, but without other preferences. The unsecured ereditors ob- jected to this mode of procedure and filed a zoo Circuit, asking that a receiver be ap- pointed. Judge Mills appointed a receiver and issued an order to prevent the disposi- tion of the property, and at the hearing held that the Assignment was void and also the mortgages. ‘Then the parties interested in the mortgages took out a writ of certiorari and took the case to the Supreme Court. The secured parties argued that the law was unconstitutional, and, that if it was not the court below had no right to appoint a re- ceiver, an assignment having been made. In deciding the case Justice Cooley said that there might be some provisions of the law which would be held good, but he saw grave difficulties in the way of its being enforced. Justice Campbell thought the whole law un- constitutional, and was of the opinion that none of it could be saved. All the Justices expressed themselves verbally on the matter, but the exact wording of the decision will, of course, not be known until the written opinion is handed down in April. Kendall’s Figures. H. P. Baker, assignee for John C. Ken- dall, has filed his report with the County Clerk, showing the assets to be as follows, the first figures being the cost value and the second the assessed value: stock in old store, $14,588.11, $7,881.87; stock in new store, $1,861.91, $953.88; furniture and fix- tures in old store, $1,172.48, $454.43; same in new store, $288.25, $142.45. The book accounts amount to $6,908.44, and are val- ued at $2,318.47. There was $2.37 cash on hand.

OFFICE IN EAGLE BUILDING, 34 FLOOR. [Entered at the Postofice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Mattzr.] WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13, 1884. AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY. M. B. Church is home again from Mobile. Wm. G. Herpolsheimer is spending a fort- night duck hunting on the Kankakee - marshes. Apker & Brittain, dealer in agricultural implements, have dissolved, John B. Brittain continuing. A grocery jobbing house received an order yesterday from a Northern customer for 100 pounds of “scorched” coffee. Geo. J. Shackelton, of this city, has en- gaged in the grocery business at Lisbon, purchasing his stock of Hawkins & Perry. John J. Ely has resumed business at Rock- ford in a barn improvised for use as a store. He purchased his dry goods stock of Spring & Co. Jas. Fox, of Fox, Musselman & Loveridge, is spending the week among the Northern trade, renewing old acquaintances and mak- ing new ones. Luther Lance: We understand that the Eagle Clothing house of Grand Rapids has rented a room in this village, and will put in a large stock of clothing soon. C. S. Robinson and C. L. Bradford recent- ly participated in a mask ball of Newaygo. Robinson masqueraded as Ack, the eunuck, and Bradford personated an equally noted Turkish character. The accounts and notes of Jas. E. Furman were sold Saturday by Assignee Fletcher to Frank Furman for $236. E. E. Winsor bi $200, and Wm. Thonfas $230, but both re- fused to go higher. C. E. Coloney, with T. J. Keveney & Co., carpets, New York, and W. E. Lapsley, amanager of the Chicago branch of D. Powers & Sons, oil cloths, New York., were in town last week interviewing the carpet trade. In New York City, 100 boxes of lemons are considered a large truck load, but one of Putman & Brook’s teamsters recentl trucked an even 150 boxes, the gross weight of whieh was 14,250 pounds. This is the largest load of fruit ever trueked in this city. Winegar & Peck, the Alba dealers, have not yet made any advances to their Grand Rapids creditors, indicating what they gro- pose to do toward liquidating their debts. Mr. Wm. Winegar, father of Will, states that every cent of indebtedness will be_ paid in full as soon as he can get his affairs in shape. It is stated that the firm owes about $7,000. ‘When THE TRADESMAN interviewed a score or more of business men on the new as- signment law last October, L. J. Rindge was the only one who ventured the opinion that the measure was unconstitutional. The late action of the Supreme Court confirms his opinion, and it is now im order for Mr. Rindge to establish his reputation as a weather prop- nosticator. Secretary Jesson, of Muskegon, sends THE TRADESMAN a neatly printed pamphlet of 67 pages, exelusive of advertisements and cover, containing the proceedings of the first annual meeting of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association, which was held at Lansing last Nevember. The volume also contains the constitution and by-laws, list of members, etc. Mr. Jesson is mailing a copy to each member of the Association. A certain jobbing house in this city was recently asked bya northern customer to quote lowest prices on an order for patent medicines aggregating about $300, and put the estimate down to hard pan. Before placing the order, however, a drummer for a Chicago house happened along and offered $7 cash for the order, which was accepted. The result will be that the Chicago house will pay an expense account which includes an item for $7 for livery hire or some other “extra.” AROUND THE STATE. ~ Dr. W.

The banking business of Fairman & New- ton, at Big Rapids, is being wound up as fast as possible, the firm having determined te cease banking operation. The prisoners in the Ionia prison have cut this season 300,000 feet of logs for Vosper Brothers, at 75 cents per thousand.

Lee & Son, grocers, Allegan, liabilities $2,414.95, assets $2,235.72. Late Furniture Gossip. The bedstead factory at Potterville haf shut down for a short time. Ferry & Butts, East Saginaw undertakers, are about to locate in Lansing. Chesire & Hartman, retail furniture deal- ers at Stanton, are sueceeded by John J. Hartman. * A patent iron coffin dealer advertises that any one who uses his invention once will never use any other. A. L. Ruffe, of the M. B. Church Bedette Co., is ofi on a fortnight’s tour of the trade in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Max. N. Meyer, ef the Berkey & Gay Fur- niture Co., is on the Pacific Coast, R. W. oa is in the East, and Mr. Ayers is in the outh. A. H. Fowle is furnishing complete the in- terior decoration, earpets, furniture, etc., for two fine residences at Walla Walla, Wash- ington Ter. Spencer & Barnes, furniture manufactur- ers at Buchanan, will erect a three-story brick building for their finishing department the coming season. : Knapp & Stoddard, the Chicago represent- atives for Nelson, Matter & Co., have ar- ranged to handle the goods of the Widdi- comb Furniture Co. dealers at Charlette, who recently made an assignment, claim that their assets are more than sufficient to meet all liabilities. Mr. Elder, of King & Elder, Indianapolis, and Mr. Robert Keith, of the Robert Keith Furniture Ce., Kansas City, were the only large buyers at this market last week. Stow & Haight have lately gotten out two new extension tables, which will be designa- ted as Nos. 27 and 29. The firm has lately re- ceived an enormous order from Fort Scott, Kansas. Mr. Chas. W. Jones, of the Widdicomb Furniture Co., leaves for an extended East- ern tour shortly. Mr. Jas. Robinson, of the Pheenix Furniture Co., is doing the New Or- leans trade. The Casket, which is published in the in- terest of undertakers, complains of depres- sion in the coffin industry. Overproduction is not the trouble in this case. What is needed iggnore consumption. The Berkey & Gay Furniture Co. has late- ly made to order, and will perhaps keep in stock, a suit consisting of six pieces, bed, dresser, wash stand, chiffonier, shaving stand and pier glass. It is in imitation mahogany, very dark, and half antique in style. Business has been ordinarily brisk during the past two weeks, and there is every rea- son to think that it will continue so for some time to come. Indeed, it is not unreasonable to.expect that the year as a whole will be a fairly prosperous one, and in the event of good crops the latter part of the season may be marked by a rush such as character- ized the entire year of 1882. The Oriel Cabinet Co., which is about the poorest furniture property in the city, so far as dividends are concerned, has been re-organ- ized, Mr. Geo. G. Clay retiring from the posi- tion of manager, to be succeeded by Mr. Chas. Blaek, late of Cincinnati. The old stock is being closed out as rapidly as possible, one order for $6,000 worth of goods having lately been received from an Eastern house. The factory was ‘started up on the 11th, after having been idle for several months, and a complete new line of fancy goods is to be gotten out in time for the early fall. trade. It is hoped that under the new management the company can be put in a prosperous con- dition, and the stock made to pay a dividend —something it has never done since the in- auguration of the establishment three years ago. re en Rare Opportunity. I offer for Sale my Entire Stock,- consist- ing of Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Grocer- ies, etc., together with the Good Will of a Thriving Business, and will Lease my Store to the purchaser of the Steck at a reasona- ble price,—the best location in the village.
