The Regularity With Which Automatic Ma- chinery Turns Them Out. The process of manufacture is beautiful in its simplicity. 'The machine used is a little low affair about four feet high. While it appears to be of very simple construction it has almost as many fine and delicate com- ponent parts as a watch, and to do its work thoroughly it must also be as carefully ad- justed and regulated. About two feet from every machine is a rapidly revolving reel, round which is coiled a hank of brass wire. The wire, which is of the thickness used for a particular sized pin, is fed into the machine ina continuous golden thread. Here it passes under knives which cut it off to the required length, and as it is cut it passes under adie. This die gives three sharp and distinct little clips and the head is formed. Caught up by the invisible iron hands, the pin now resembles the joke of many an al- leged humorist—it has no point. After hav- ing a head put upon it, the pin falls into a little niche in a traveler whieh takes it under a series of files. The rapid movement causes the soft wire soon to become decidedly pointed and then it drops through a tin chute into a basket on the floor. You pick up ene of these little strangers and find it covered with grease and fine wire dust. To remove this they are taken «into the base- ment and put in barrels filled with sawdust. The barrels are on axles and give a rotary motion. The shaking causes all the grease to cling to the sawdust, or perhaps it might be more correct to say that the pin is envel- oped in two envelopes, grease as the inner one and sawdust as the outer one. The next process is to turn the contents of the barrel in a sifting machine connected with a pow- erful blower. ‘This causes the chaff to sep- erate from the grain, or in other words the pins to be thoroughly cleansed from the saw- dust attaching to them. Brass pins are the most expensive made, but if used in their pure state would cause garments through which they are run to corrode. To prevent this they are taken to copper vats and coated with an acid, the preparation used being one of the secrets of the trade. The pin is now made but before it can go out to the trade it must be stuck on paper. The operation re- quired to do this is as pretty as any of the others. The pins aré dumped into the trough of amachine. They run down an in- clined bed in which are cut a number of grooves just wide enough to contain a pin when standing up perpendicularly. The bed of the machine is V shaped, the base of tbe V being furthest removed from the point where the pins first enter. As the pins come to the narrow point ef the bed they pass under a species of trip-hammer, with six or seven distinct hammers set in a frame. They are now fed in fours to a continuous roll of that narrow blue paper on which pins are always sold. As the paper passes under the hammers they drop on the heads of the pins, and with one blow drive them into po- sition. This operation goes on without inter- ruption, the whole process being automatic. The machine requires no attention except to keep it properly supplied and to see that the pins do not choke up. * In another department of a pin establish- ment steel pins are made. These are the ones most commonly used. The process is nearly similar to that already described, ex- cept that instead of being pointed by pass- ing over files they pass over rapidly revolv- ing wheels. A continuous shower of sparks issue from the point of contact, and as the wheels go on their journey they look like a big catherine wheel. The wire used is pur- chased from the factory in small coils, and must then be removed before it can be placed on the reels already mentioned. To do this all the kinks must be straightened out, and the method employed to do this is ingenious. The wire passes through a series of steel screws, and one ead is made fast to the winding wheel. It is then set revolving rap- idly, and the motion straightens out the wire completely. Pin making requires less manual help than almost any other article manufactured. During her sojourn ata hotel, a lady broke an article belonging to a china toilet set. On leaving the house she was charged with the entire set. As remonstrance was unavailing she paid the bill, and, pleading the excuse of having forgotten something, returned to the room and broke each and every article’of the set for which she had paid. And some peo- ple say women are not clever. : “And my first pair of boots,” went. on Simpson, “how proud and delighted I was! Why, do you know,” and he looked around impassively, “that the first night I insisted on wearing those boots to bed?” “Yes!” sniffed the old woman from across the reom, “and it’s many a pair of boots that you have worn to bed since.” The recently formed pool among the coke operators of Pittsburg has come to an inglor- ious termination, and those who hoped arbi- trarily to force an advance in prices, in the teeth of an increased production, have failed in their purpose. Charles H. Beals, foreman for L. H. Beals & Co., whip manufacturers at Westfield, Mass., has bought an interest in the business and it will be continued under the firm name of L. H. Beals & Son. 600 in lowa and 300 in Wisconsin. SHIRTS. The Styles Most Worn at the Present Time. There have been so many improvements made in shirts during the past five years, es- pecially in stock shirts, that one often finds himself wondering if the time is not near when good shirts will not wear out. What with patent seamless edge bosoms, patent detached bosoms, patent yoke bosoms, patent gored shoulders, patent backs, etc., ‘there seems but little room left for improvement, unless it be in the price, for itseems wonder- ful thaf any one can produce and sell at such low prices, as do the best shirt houses. Their ability to do this is explained as follows: They do everything in a large way. They have very large factories, employ an army of men and women, use a large amount of capital, buy in large quantities, are able to take every advantage of the market, and have large, well-organized selling forces. As a consequence, they are able to manufacture and sell at the least cost. : Although this business has been affected by the dull times, it has not suffered in com- parison with many other lines. The failure of some houses and the consequent throwing of stocks on the market at greatly reduced prices, is not felt by the best houses, as they have a regular patronage that is not easily induced to try other makes. A good, well- made, well-fitting shirt is something a first- class retailer appreciates. The shield bosom open back shirt still holds the preference, although there is an in- creasing demand in the larger eities for plaited bosoms, open front, such as we all wore prior to the advent of the shield bosom. A prominent retail furnishing house has been selling a great many of what they call “eommon-sense” shirts, whichis a eopy of the French dress shirt, that opens all the way down in front, like the single-breasted overcoat, and is fastened at proper intervals by either bu. .as or studs. This shirt is bound to grow in popularity, as it undoubt- edly has merit. The outlook for the colored shirt business seems flattering. The number of people who prefer colored shirts at least six months in the year is large, and the variety of pat- terns produced seems to increase each year. While quiet, neat patterns are always safe and desirable, still there is a demand for loud, highly-colored, large patterns, and judging from those seen, there will be more of them sold this season than ever before. Wide, large stripes and loud checks in glow- ing colors will be in demand. Highly-colored figures of animals and birds will be in favor, also crowns, large rings, globes, beetles, horse-shoes and nails, spinning tops, and many others, too numerous to mention. Two neat turned-down oollars, with de- tached cuffs, will be the rule, though there will undoubtedly be worn very many open front, collars and cuffs attached, colored shirts. Patent front lawn tennis, polo and bicycle flannel shirts in a variety of colors will be sold in all the larger towns, and also light-weight, single-breasted flannel shirts, in yarious colors, with patent lever rolled gold plate buttons. Boys’ plain and plaited flannel waists will be worn more than ever. In fact, light flannels are increasing in popu- larity for summer wear. He Wanted an Apology for Failing. One day three or four weeks ago a retail grocer over in Jersey sat down with his clerk one evening and said: “James, I ‘owe New York honses over $3,000.” “Yes, sir.” “We have $2,000 in cash in the safe, the stock is all run down, and this would be the time to fail in business.” “Tt certainly would.” “But I want a reasonable apology to give my creditors when,they came down upon us for explanations. See if you can’t think of something to-night, and let me know in the morning.” The clerk promised, and the grocer wheel- ed a chest of tea and a bag of coffee home as a beginning. Next morning when he ap- peared at the store the safe was open, the cash gone, and on the desk was a note from the clerk, reading: “T have taken the $2,000 and am prepared to skip. It will be the best excuse in the world for your failing so flat that creditors can’t realize two cents on the dollar.” A He Advised Burning the Store. A few days ago a business firm got into trouble among themselves, and one of the partners posted off te a lawyer to ask advice. When he had related his case, he inquired: “I presume the correct way is toask that a receiver be appointed?” “That’s one view of it,’ replied the law- yer. “Why, I didn’t know there were two views to such a question.” “Oh, yes. If none of you dare set fire to the store and burn up everything and call it square, you'd better ask for a receiver and let him be two months stealing you all blind. I should advise the torch, as that will save paying the two months’ rent.” The partnership still exists. It is estimated that there are now 400 butter and cheese-making creameries in Illinois, MEN OF WEALTH. A List of Grand Rapids Capitalists Worth Over $100,000. Next to reading an evil report or retailing a choice scandal about another, men in gen- eral enjoy speculating as to the probable competencies acquired by business rivals and associates. No such spirit, however, has an- imated THe TRADESMAN in the eompilation of the following estimates, which are based in great part on the assertions of friends of ‘the parties mentioned. No claim is made for absolute exactness, indeed grave excep- tions may be taken to several statements made, but exceptional diligence has been used to render the estimates more than usu- ally reliable for an ordinary newspaper arti- cle. No reference is made to men supposed to be worth less than $100,000. To Delos A. Blodgett is universally ac- corded the palm of being the richest man in Grand Rdpids. His business rivals contend that his fortune does not exceed a million and a quarter, while his intimate friends are equally zealous in asserting that he is worth from two to five millions, Mr. Blodgett is understood to have intimated that $2,000,- 000 is about the correct figure. His invest- ments are mainly in pine lands, and it is commonly reported that he can walk on his own land from Lake Michigan to Houghton Lake, a distance or 75 miles. Dan. H. Waters probably takes second rank as a moneyed man. His pine land in- vestments are confidently expected to make him a millionaire, and his present worth is variously estimated at from $250,000 to $750,- 000. Martin L. Sweet is said to own more Na- tional bank stock than any other man in Michigan. Competent judges estimate his fortune at from $400,000 to $750,000. Wm. B. Ledyard would probably tip the seales, if placed in the balance with Mr. Sweet. M. J. Clark is probably worth at least half a million. He'has 25,000 acres of choice pine land, 13,000 in one piece, near Duluth, which is estimated to be worth $10 per acre, and could not be purehased for that money. He is also interested in lumber and shingle speculations at Cedar Springs and other Northern points, and is a member of the firm of Clark, Jewell & Co. Thos. D. and Frank B. Gilbert are each reputed to be worth $400,000, and Major A. B. Watson, C. C. Comstock and Dr. Chas. Shepard are rated as having frém $250,000 to $400,000 apiece. Julius Houseman, John Clancy, Ransom E. Luce. E. P. Fuller and Wm. Harrison are commonly supposed to be worth $300,000 apiece. T. Stewart White is supposed to have about an even $250,000, and D. M. Benjamin’s competence possibly exceeds that amount. Thos. Friant is worth at least that much. Geo. Kendall’s resources are reckoned at $200,000, and C. W. Coit’s landed estate is worth fully as much, and will probably be worth a million within twenty years. 1. M. Clark, of Clark, Jewell & Co., is thought to be worth $200,000. He owns sey- eral tracts of Minnesota pine, and is interest- ed with his brother, M. J., in other timber speculations. Among the persons whose property will aggregate in the neighborhood of $150,000 are Wm. Widdicomb, I. M. Weston, Smith Osterhout, N. W. Northrup, Joseph Heald, Harvey J. Hollister, Wm. Hake, D. D. Cody, W. S. Gunn, Willard Barnhart and Mrs. M. VY. Aldrich. D. P. Clay is also.quotedjin the same breath, and as he has almost innumer- able irons in the fire, ordinary good luck for ten years will suffice to make him a million- aire. : Among those reputed to be worth $100,- 000 and over are N. L. Avery, W.S. Barnett, Julius Berkey, M. R. Bissell, John Bertsch, Robert Cutler, John Caulfield, E. Crofton Fox, Henry Fralick, Alfred Garlock, Free- man and Silas Godfrey, Joe Martin, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Mills, C. F. Nason, Enos Put- nam, L. D. Putnam, Wm. T, Powers, Thos. M. Peck, C. C. Rood, C. G. A. Voigt and J. C2Wenham. ; Her Flame. “Bridget, why did you remain up so late last night?” asked the lady of the house? “Begorra, mum! ’Twas not late at all, at all, when I was afther retiring.

His Trials and Tricks—Characteristics, Good | and Bad. The drill manager of cash boys, when in-| terviewed concerning the urchins under his | rule, looks as if he were more or less puz- | zled to know what to say and how to say it. He is evidently somewhat surprised that | anyone should care to know anything fur- ther concerning the species. Something cynical in his manner would seem to say that any interest in such gamin was far-! fetched and quixotic. Intuition reveals at | once that there can be no mutual admira- tion. Strange men there are and wise ones at that, who spenda life investigating the ways of a spider—its mechanism, its in- stincts, its work—and are every day more fascinated than they were the previous day. They become men of one idea, enthusiastic in their hobby. ‘The cash boy, it seems, has hitherto failed to fascinate his investigators. Acquaintance with his ways, tosay nothing of downright study, has up to this moment, it is to be regretted, turned to his disadvan- tage. Now newsboys from time to time find a quixotic champion, and boot-blacks get noticed by men who have made a name in the world; men though, all possessing one trait in common,a kind of bouyancy which they retain in spite of their years, and which puts them in sympathy with all The latter would stand on their heads at the word of such a comman- der, whom they love to cheer lustily at the top of their lungs. Repeating a foregoing remark, the cash boys, a so-called better class, fail so far in the magnetism that would win the interest inspired by bootblacks and other boys of in- ferior degree. “T do not know,” said a prosperous mer- chant, ‘what you can find of interest in these youngsters. They are the most ex- asperating feature of the dry-goods’ busi- ness. Though an insignificant, aggravating animal we can’t get along without. them. We have several in the establishment, and if it were possible to do business on any other system, I should like to be rid of them all.” “There are some of them, are there not, who deserve better mention?” ‘Yes, there is the same difference among them as one finds among men—good, bad, and indifferent—or among boys at sehool.” “What inducements are offered for good behavior besides their pay?” “Well, those who do well and attend to their business remain in the service, and have a chance of promotion. Several of our salesmen were once cash boys here.” “Do the majority of them come intending to remain?” “Oh! no; they are mainly the children of parents, who, though respectable, are poor, and place them here for afew months to help eke outa living. Those who are not discharged usually return to school.” “What percentage of themdo you dis- charge?” “About ninety-nine per cent. They are occasionally discharged for dishonesty. The handling of the cash is too often a temptation they can’t withstand.” Pending this dialogue a number of those persons of the third patt passed in review before deponent and interlocutor. They rep- resented in all sorts of ways .the boy from ten to fourteen years of age. There were cross-eyed, ill-formed boys; cleanly, goody- goody boys; the boy with the shaven poll and others with tumbled fore-top. Their gait was as different as the jackets they wore, and it was plain to be seen they were out of their elementjin hours of good be- havior. One could detect in their twinkl- ing or furtive eye the possibilities for mis- chief lurking under their regulation interior. To one interested in boy nature as it, is, rather than as it ought to be, these possibil- ities were by sympathetic perversity per- haps far more attractive than any of the carilinal virtues embodied in boyhood. Up to the present moment the case is far from made out against the cash boy. A very intelligent and kindly man in an- other house, the head of one of the depart ments, took a similiar view of the matter. How do you explain the natural hostility apparently existing between the cash-boy and persons behind the counter?” was ask- “The cat worries the mouse, and the mouse would fly at the cat ifit had any chance. Many people thoughtlessly find pleasure in teasing a small boy and provok- ing him to retailiation, rather than creating a friendly relation. The same people en- joy acockfight. They keep the little fellow running needlessly and he knows it; he dares not openly resist, on account of the complaints that might be registered, so he resorts to many of the ‘ways that are dark and tricks that are vain’ to get even with his tormentor. The lady clerks are, as usu- al, far more considerate for these little fel- lows who are really very useful. They know their friends and there are certain people who.come to the store who are very popular with them.” While he was speaking a row of them sat under the “indicator,” a card containing their numbers; these were in communica- tion with the counters. When the pointer called for a boy in hostility with the coun- | ter, it was amusing to witness the coolness with which these urehins continued the an- imating theme under discussion. “Let him call,” said Tom, ‘I owe him one.” And he did eall several times, while they nudged each other and relished the fun. “Cash boy, here.” At the sharp voice of the manager the boys jerked themselves into regulation de- meanor. A moment before they were all wire and india-rubber, illustrating perpetual motion. The right word from the right man transformed every boy of them. The evidence of a cash-boy himself taliied with that of the last mentioned man. “If we did not catch a little fun now and then,” he said, ‘‘we would have none at all. We come here at 8 o’clock in the morning and except an hour at noon we have no time for ourselves till 6 o’clock; then we have to go home and cut wood. During the holidays weare here till 10 o’clock. Our pay is from $1.50 ts $2.50 per week. and if I see a chance to kick up my heels now and then, Vm going todo it.” At that moment his pet counter called and no fire horse could have got there sooner. Decadence of the Tinsmith. From the Industrial World. Will the race of tinsmiths become extinct? One would be led to believe so from observ- ing the advertisements for the services ‘of these eraftsmen in the daily journals. Hard- ware men complain that it is next to impos- sible to find a really competent tinner, one that is thoroughly profficient in all the de- tails of his business; and, in fact, it is diffi- cult to get tinners of any degree of profi- ciency. The trouble lies in the desuetude of the apprentice system. Those who, of late years, have picked up the trade have not gone through a thorough course of instruc- tion. Thus they enter into the active duties assigned them with the most superficial knowledge. In olden times young men were regularly apprenticed to the trade, and were not permitted to strike out for themselves until they had obtained a mastery of the art. It seems very strange that more workmen should not turn their attention to the tinning trade. It is one where good wages can be obtained, the work is pleasant and not diffi- cult, and should be easily learned by a quick observer. But before one can obtain full wages, it requires a knowledge of the busi- ness, as there is no obligation on tinners to teach the trade to others. Here ought to be a good field for young men who do not wish to go into farming or the heavier branches of the mechanic art§8. A tinner’s life is one offering few promises of rapid advancement, and aspiring youths will not seek its steady channels; but there are scores of young men who are steady and industrious who will slowly advance froma tinner’s bench to a position in the firms with which they en- gage, or who will amass enough to start bus- ness on their own account.

ALABASTINE! * SERRE RETRY 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. che ke beebes ALL Faint Dealers. ——MANUFACTURED BY—— THE ALABASTINE COMPANY M.

Ornamental 37 Ionta STREET, SOUTH OF MONROE. PENCIL PORTRAITS—NO. 1. Alonzo Seymour, the Pioneer Traveler Out of Grand Rapids. “I was born in Waterville, Oneida county, N. Y., in 1819,” said Mr. Seymour, in reply to the reportorial ‘inquiries, “was brought up and educated at Winfield, Herkimer county, where I was married in 1844, re- moving to Grand Rapids in 1849. I en- gaged in the hub business “with L. R. At- water about a year, and subsequently was station agent at Rockford, Ill.,for two years. Afterward I worked for Geo. W. Water- man, who at that time run a wholesale and retail grocery store where Friedrich’ Bros. are now located. In 1852, I formed a co- partnership with the late John M. Fox and Joel Merchant, under the firm name of John M. Fox & Co., and until the panic of 1857 we carried on a general merchandising business at Eaton, Lyon & Allen’s present location. When the crisis came on we clos- ed up our business, and for a year or more I worked as book-keeper for the then firm of Wilmarth & Patten. Afterward, I engaged with Wm. Renwick in the manufacture of hubs under the firm name of Seymour & Renwick, which relationship continued three years. Then the firm of Seymour & Brown—Jas. W. Brown—engaged in the grocery business at the present location of A. Rasch, who succeeded the firm after we had been in business about a year. In May, 1865, I engaged to travel for L. H. Randall, being the first man to carry a sample case for a Grand Rapids house. At that time there was but one railway here—the D. & M., as it was then called—and traveling was done almost wholly by team. My northern route required three weeks’ time, and included Plainfield, Coon’s Hollow, Rockford—then called Laphamville—Cedar Springs, Ensley, Lisbon, Casnovia, Croton, Big Prairie, Big Rapids, Paris and Hersey. It took another week to take im Hesperia, Hart and Pentwater, ‘and still another to see my customers at Greenville and Elm Hall and other small towns. Nearly a week was usually consumed in going to and returning from Wayland and Bradley. There were no regular roads through most of the country I traveled, and it was not an uncommon thing for me to improvise a pole bridge over a swollen stream or stop to chop in two afallen tree. Wolves, bear and deer were frequent attendants, and occas- ionally the wolves gave mea good chase. From Big Prairie to Big Rapids, 1 had a twenty mile drive without a house or stop- ping place of any kind between. Occasion- ally I encountered bands of Indians, but they never made me any trouble. On my return trips ‘usually had considerable sums of money, but I did not feel as_ timid in the deepest forest asI did when I got to the city. There was no police force here then, and. 6pen robberies were not uncommon. Of course I met many perplexing experiences which are decidedly amusing reminiscences in this time of fast railway travel and good hotel accomodations. I remember sleeping ina garret at Hesperia one cold winter night and finding an inch of snow on the bed in the morning; and my remembrance goes back to another warm morning when I awoke with an enormous bedbug in each ear. “On leaving Mr. Randallin 1868, I took charge of A. T. Thomas’ general store at Bowne for a year, after which I was em- ployed as book-keeper by Wheeler & Bor- den, who were known as the “eight hour firm.” Subsequently I worked for Wheeler & Green, taking the road again in 1870 for Wm. Sears & Co. With the exception of one year, when I was in the employ of Ber- key & Gay as a. book-keeper, I have trav- eled continuously for the Messrs. Sears. I think that one of the most peculiar features of my long experience on the road is that I have never met with an accident of any kind. Trains before and behind mine have had smashups, but Ihave mever been ona train that had a wheel leave the ‘track, I have slept in hotels that burned the next night, involving loss of life, but have thus far escaped without a mishap of any kind.” Candy, Fruit and Nuts. The candy trade remains fairly good. Nuts are steady and without change. The new crop of Brazils will soon begin to ar- rive. Peanuts are held firm at full prices, although not much has been done by the cleaners during the past two weeks, on ac- count of the floods in that part of the coun- try. Lower prices are not looked for this year. Oranges and lemons are going out quite freely at about last week’s prices. The market East is firmer and somewhat higher. Late Business Changes.

DELINQUENT DEBTORS. ; Seeeesvtf 7 Another Feature That Will Bennfit Dealer. “There is only one thing neede ake your paper perfect,” writes acountry dealer, “and that is a dead-beat list.” And as the writer, in expressing that opinion, voices the sentiment of a large majority of the retail dealers of Michigan, it has been decided to add such a feature to THE TRADESMAN, trusting that the experience of a few months will enable both editor and dealer to de- termine whether the results accomplished e Retail will warrant the continuance ef such a pro-|" ject as a permanent department of the pa- per. No expense attaches the publication of the lists to the dealer, the only condition be- ing that he be a subscriber; and no restriction will be made as to the length of the lists, or the number of times reports; are made, it being the intention to make the dead-beat roll as complete as possible, and to keep the whereabouts of the delinquents continually before the mercantile public. The lists furnished by any dealer will not benefit him pecuniarly, but those contributed by other tradesmen will contain the names of men who would probably succeed in getting credit, were he not warned of their inelina- tion for not paying their store bills. Thus the system proposed. will be a_ benefit, in- directly, to every dealer who does a credit business. As a guarantee of good faith, the names of the senders must accompany the lists, and besides the names of the delin- quents, the amounts owing should be stated. When the parties have removed to another place or another part of the city, that also should be noted, in order that dealers at the latter places may be enabled to exer- cise the proper precaution. Much care should be taken to write the names plainly and correctly, that no mistakes be made. Let there be a general rally on the part of deal- ers everywhere, with a view fo determining whether the evils attending {the credit sys- tem cannot be lessened. Some Advantages of the System. “There is too little co-operation on the part of dealers on the dead-beat question,” said a prominent local retailer, “and I see nO rea- son why the project you propose should not benefit every one who sells on credit. . For instance, a dealer gets ‘stuck’ $30: on a bad- pay customer, who leaves him and begins running up an account at a neighboring store. Nine times out of ten the dealer who is first victimized will not inform his neigh- bor of the true character of his new custom- er, but will allow him to be duped, too. On the other hand, a prompt report made in all cases of delinquencies would be the means of warning dealers against the parties, and be of direct benefit to the dealer making the report, as it would compel the debtor to settle his bills, before he could secure fur- ther credit.” Country Produce.

Jones; Treasurer, Geo. S. Baars, formerly of this city. The Michigan basket factory of A. W. Wells & Co., St. Joseph, started up Mon- day after being closed two months. This firm is carrying on an immense business, sending their products into every State in the Union, and exporting to nearly all the countries of Europe, and even to Australia. The Muskegon Chronicle suggests that the following be printed on the letter heads of business men: ‘Muskegon is the largest lumber manufacturing city in the world. Annual cut—650,000,000 feet lumber, 250,- 000,000 shingles, 200,000,000 lath. Forty saw-inills. Umexcelled facilities for ship- ping by water or rail.. For information about city,; address; Secretary , Board of Trade.” A Cheboygan correspondent writes: The prospects for spring trade are good, as the attempted restriction of the supply of logs has been a flat failure, owing to the splendid weather for lumbering, the low rate of wages, cheap supplies, and the idea general- ly prevalent that there really was going.to be a shoftage, all wanting to be on hand if there was one. Asaresulta full stock of logs will be put in, and at lower figures by at least one-third than ever ‘before in many years. This means a brisk business and lots of money for mill men, even if they have to sell lower than last year, and the prosperity of the mills. Late Furniture Gossip.
