Where a common carrier receives goods in order to transport them from one point to another and fails to deliver them at the point of destination it is liable for the reason- able value of the goods at that point, it not being shown that the failure to deliver was occasioned by inevitable accident or by the act of the public enemy, and the carrier can- not escape its liability by showing that the means of transportation employed by it were furnished to it by others.—St. Louis Court of Appeals. Partnership. In the absence of fraud each one of a firm has the right to dispose of the complete part- nership interests and is considered to be the authorized agent of the firm. And in case of an actual disagreement the weight of au- thority is in favor of the the power of a ma- jority of a firm, acting in good faith, to bind the minority and such ought to be the law; for where there is a community of interest, certainly it is the will of the majority, and not the will of the minority that ought te control. If there is a fraudulent{combination on the part of the majority to injure or op- press the minority, the law is otherwise@— Supreme Judicial Court of Maine. Option Deal Invalid. In August, 1882, G. and W. entered into contract according to which G. was to pay W. $100 for the privilege of buying from him 100 bales of choice hops of the crop of 1882, to be delivered at the former’s store on or be- fore January 1, 1883. The price was to be 50 cents per pound whenever the hops were tendered, provided G. accepted them; he, however, had the privilege of refusing to buy, and if he refused, was to forfeit $100. Hops went up, W. refused to deliver accord- ing to contract, and G. entered suit, in which Judge Blodgett, in the U. 8. Circuit Court at Chicago held the contract void on the ground that it was a gambling contract. It was, he said, an agreement by which the plaintiff ac- quired an option at a future day to buy a quantity of hops, and the only penalty there- under was forfeiture. There was no obliga- tion to take the hops, and the contract was, therefore, in his‘opinion, a mere bet of $100 as to whether the plaintiff would, at the ex- piration of a certain time, take the hops or forfeit $100. Maker of Note Responsible. In the case of Art vs. Fowler, the Supreme Court of Kansas held recently, that a person who, being in full possession of all his fac- ulties, and able to read, though slowly and with difficulty, signs a promissory note under the belief that it is an instrment of a differ- ent character and does so without himself reading the instrument, but relying on the reading and representations of a stranger, is guilty of such negligence as will render him liable on the note to a bone fida holder there- of. In the case of the Centenial building and Loan Association vs. Mitehell, recently de- cided by the Kentucky Superior Court, it ap- peared that in the constitution of the ap- pellant it is provided that money om hand might be loaned among the members, and that the highest bidder at any meeting, upon payment at the time of the amount of his bid into the treasury, should be entitled to precedence in borrowing the money which should be for loan at the next meeting there- after. The court held that amounts bid under the foregoing provision were for the use of the money, and that being in addition to legal interest they were usurious. Fire Insurance—Change of Title. The fact that a member of a firm disposes of his interest to his partner, taking note and chattel mortgage as security, the firm prop- erty having been insured, does not, in case of fire, release from liability the company in- suring, because of a clause in the policy pro- viding, “If without such assent (the written consent of the company) the said property shall be sold.” The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts holds, that whatever might be the effect of a conveyance of his whole in- terest by one partner to a stranger, such con- veyance to his zo-partner is nota breach of the insurance contract. “So far as the object of preserving an insurable interest is concerned, as the actual interests of partners in the firm property are necessarily fluctuat- ing, there seems to be no particular reason why the insurers should wish to keep the state of legal title unchanged as between them. Certainly there is no sufficient ground for extending the language chosen by the in- surer beyond its plain and natural meaning. Our conclusion is sustained by the weight of authority in this country. ——__—~>_ << ——- “No,” said’ the Vermont man, who was shot in the head by his friend while they were out hunting, lost most of an ear and was considerably scratched, “I don’t mind the wound so much, but it breaks my heart to have my head mistaken by my most intimate friend for a polecat.” An Eastern ¢xchange is responsible for the following: ‘A Michigan man has trained his cat to visit a grocery and steal mackerel is can accommodate you. COMMUNICATED. Method to Defeat.a Fleeing Delinquen!—Dis- reputable Dealers. Palo, Mich., Mar. 7, 1884. EDITOR TRADESMAN :—I read THE MICH- IGAN TRADESMAN, and am more and more pleased with it. Especially am I pleased te see the “dead-deat’’ discussed. It has a long time ago occurred tome that when one of a dealer’s delinquents leaves him and goes to a new field to practice his peculiar methods that there ought to be an understanding gen- erally among dealers throughout the coun- try and an itemized statement of his account sent to some dealer in the new field, to- gether with a statement of his character. Such a course would be far ahead of what the American Creditors’ Association can do in that direction, for then when Mr. D. B. asks for favors, he could be confronted with an unsettled account. There is, to my mind, a worse class of D. B.’s than the one discussed, and which honest wholesalers and honest retailers are,or should be, alike concerned about to such an extent that they co-operate against them. The class I speak of are the retail dealers who have, nor can have, nothing else to recom- mend them to the public consideration than “cheap! cheap! CHEAP!” who buy goods of confiding wholesalers and sell them out at such ruinous rates—sometimes less than cost, as some in a neighboring village are doing on sugar—that their bills cannot be paid and as a consequence, trade is becoming demoralized and just and true men are made to suffer. Let us hear somebody else on this subject. Very Respectfully Yours, GIDDEON NOEL. . Good Word for Grand Rapids from a Frank- Dealer, Franefort, Mich., March 10, 1884. Epiror TRADESMAN:—I think your pa- peragood one. It is neatly printed and chuck full of business, and should be in the hands of every live merchant who makes Grand Rapids or Detroit their buying point. With us here at Frankfort, it is different. We have no communication with Grand Rapids. We have steamboat and sail vessel connection direct with Chicago and Milwau- kee, getting lower freight rates than railroads give, but in buying it, perhaps, makes but little difference. I think Grand Rapids quotations compare favarably with theirs, and I find in a few items they are even lower. I see by THE TRADESMAN that your wholesale merchants are plucky, and have plenty of push and perseveranee, which EL have no doubt will make your city the headquarters{for Michigan merchants on the line of roads from there. The Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Mich- | p igan Railroad contemplates making our vil- lage the lake terminus of their road, which bring us in closer business relationship with Grand Rapids, especially for the winter’s trade, navigation being then closed. Wish- ing you success, I am, Respectfully, CHAS. BURMEISTER. From the Sunny South. The following extract from a letter from Aiken, S. C., written by Alford H. McClel- lan, who was identified with his brother, D. M., in general trade at Reed City for about twelve years, will be of general inter- est: We are about half a mile from town, right among delightful pine trees, and have peaches, cherries, plums and grapes of our own. Theclimate seems perfection, and the sun shines warmly nearly every day. We have had three frosts, but the fruit nearly in bloom is not injured. Our house is large and well-furnished, and has verandas all around, where we can sit at any time of the day, moving our chairs only often enough to keep in the shade. We each have a fire-place, and heaps of pine cones and knots to burn, and are ‘stuck up’ to the highest ‘pitch’ in conse- quence. ‘The town is full of boarders, inva- lids, ete., from all over the country, who are walking and riding continually. Colored peo- ple are thicker than raisins in a plum pud- ding made by a bride, but they are so polite and jolly one cannot wish their shadows and ivories to grow less, if they do not come too near. Aiken has six churches, a jail, courthouse, brick sehool house for the child- ren of Ham, and the widest streets I ever tried to hollar across to a friend—and failed. Land was no object, so they turned it into the road. Shade trees are everywhere, with benches underneath to rest. The one-story houses peculiar to this locality are attractive looking, exceptionally so, and all have yards full of shrubbery, ivies, little Dutch trees, bunches of ground, and heaps of flowers. There are a great many stores in the place, but there is less business done than in Reed City. There isno hurry. Everyone takes time to eat and sleep every day. Friends of Don. M. McClellan—and their name is legion throughout Western Michigan —will regret to learn that while a Southern residence has prolonged the life of his wife, it has not restored her health, and that she is now at the point of death. ———_—_._<.__ The mistress of a house in the city said to a youug servant girl fresh from the country: “Martha, go see if Mr. Scott, the pork butch- er, has pigs’ feet.”” The servant girl depart- ed and returned a few moments later. “Please, ma’am, I don’t know, I couldn’t see.” “But what did you say?” “I didn’t say anything. I looked at Mr. Scott—he had boots on.” The difference between “Juck” and “chance” is thus defined: You take a girl out to the theater and discover that you haven’t a cent in your pocket, Out of court- esy you invite her to an oyster saloon after the performance. See refuses for some reason— that’s “luck”; but the “chance” is a million to one she will accept. At the bank: “I have a note here that’s due to-day. I'd like to get the time extend- ed, as I havn’t any money.” ‘We cannot possibly let it go over.” ‘That is, I have the money, but—” “All right, I guess we If you’ve got the | 4 : 99 Ne HOW WE LIVE. Nutritious Qualities of Various Foods Vari- ously Cooked. The world little imagines how largely it is indebted to the laborious researches of scien- tific medical men for many of the most im- portant truths relative to;jhuman health, hap- piness and life. As population increases the value of food is enhanced, the knowledge which chemistry has elicited is becoming more and more valuable in a practical point of view. Some kinds of food are more nutritious than others, and if it shonld be found that articles which are cheapest have the most nutriment and give the highest ability to labor, then knowledge becomes money to the poor. Tables vary, but some of the general results are as follows: One pound of rice, prepared for the table, gives 88 per cent of nutriment, and, consequently, a relatively proportional ability to labor, compared with other articles of food. A pound of beef, costing fifteen cents, gives only 25 per cent. nutriment. Yet countless numbers of the poor in New York strain to a point daily to purchase beef at fifteen cents a pound, when they could get a pound of rice for one-third of the amount, the rice, too, having three times as much nutriment as beef, making a practical difference of 800 per cent., aside from the fact that boiled rice is three times easier of digestion than boiled beef, the rice being digested in about one hour, roast beef requiring three hours and a half. There is meaning, then, in the reputed fact that two- fifths of the human family live on rice. We compile the following tables for pre- servation, as being practically and perman- ently useful. All the economist requires is to compare the price of a pound of food with the amount of nutriment which it af- fords: Kind of Mode of Percentage of food. preparation. nutriment.

A smiling, well-dressed youth, accom- panied by a damsel who was evidently far gone in love, went into a drug store the other evening, and walking up to the cigar case and commandingly placing his gloved hand over the boxes containing the .“‘six-for-a- quarter’ kind, said, ‘‘Give me a twenty-five cent cigar.” “Two for half a dollar?” asked the polite druggist. “Yes, that is the kind, but I will only take one to-night; 1 have left my case at home, and they break up terribly in my pocket,” was the reply. Reaching out a handful of the choice brand to his customer the apothecary waited until he had selected one to suit him, and then re- placing the rest in their proper box, took the proffered twenty-five eent piece and dropped it in his till. After doing this he furtively took two dimes from a box in his money-drawer, and producing some matches from a shelf, dropped the money and the lucifers in the young man’s hands, saying as he did so “Here, have a match.” This advice was taken by the youth, and when he had succeeded in lighting his pur- chase, and its costly aroma reached the ol- factory organs of his admiring companion, she turned her love-lighted orbs up to§his, and said in tones of worshipful awe: “Q, Charlie, how can you afford to smoke twenty-five cent cigars?” When he had assured her that ‘‘the best is good enough for me,” his conquest was com- plete, and she departed in his company, willing to follow him to the ends of the earth. ————_ 2 ——>____- Mixes Well With Sugar. “T hear that some confectioners are using tons of white earth in the manufacture of candies,” saida New York drummer to a Canal street grocer. “1s that so?” said the light-weight cham- pion of honesty. “I think it isan outrage on humanity that such base practices are al- lowed. They ought to be summarily stopped.” “Tt is rather rough, I must admit,” re- marked the traveling man, clutching his gripsack firmly, and looking his customer square in the eye, “but then, you know, the stuff can be bonght cheap, and when it is mixed with sugar not even an expert can de- tect it.’ “Well, if that’s the case,” whispered the honest merchant as he glanced cautiously around, ‘‘can’t you ship me a lot when you get home?” —— ri - Boralumine is cheapest, best and m ost 5 we 3 eis : Re a ia ese Be E We ee i See Bibi (Ro ae THE EDITOR’S BLUNDER. He Thought He Knew a Book Ageut By intui- | tion. He was well-dressed, and to all appear- ances a thorough gentleman. On opening the office door he*immediately walked over to the editor’s desk, and remarked: “Fine morning, this.’ “No,” replied the editor, as he mentally sized up the stranger, ‘‘I don’t want a Uni- versal Compendium of Human Knowledge to be paid for on the easy payment, mutual life insurance plan.” “My good sir, began the other.” “T’ve got ‘Flowers of Poesy, ” interrupted the pencil pusher, and my library is as com- plete as I want it.” “But,” said the stranger. “Oh, you haye some patent suspender but- tons. Well,’ and the editor turned round as though he had nothing more to say, “I have cast iron fastenings that never come of, and they can’t wear out. Good day.” “You don’t understand,” commenced the well-dressed man, but the editor didn’t allow him to finish the sentence. “Oh, yes I do,” he said, ‘‘you want me to make my fortune by going into a scheme for buying up all the orange lands of Florida. I’m in that already. I’m in the Colorado silver mining scheme; my house is well-pro- vided with lightning rods. I don’t want any plaster of Paris statuary, and I never pay for what I buy anyway.” “There is some mistake.” “No, there is no mistake,” said the editor, taking the words out of the other’s mouth, “and I haven’t got the time to talk to book agents, peddlers, or anybody like you.” “Oh, very well,” observed the stranger, as he started for the door, “I called round to pay a little bill, but as you haven’t time to talk with me, good day.”’ And now the office mourns for a bill that never will be paid. —————— >a _—_ Imitation Butter and Cheese. Some curious facts regarding the manufac- ture of butter and cheese, have been testified to before the committee of the New York Senate, appointed to investigate the adulter- ( ation of food products: Dr. E. W. Martin, a chemist, who during the past year investigated, under the direc- tion of the State Board of Health, several factories where imitation cheese was made, testified that in one factory at Chesire, Orange eoynty, it was found that the cheeses made consisted principally of pure lard, the constituent portions being in the proportion of 75 per cent. of lard to 25 per cent or but- ter. The lard used was rendered at a very low temperature, scarcely higher than blood heat, and was of the grade known as deo- dorized lard. The witness did not think that the temperature employed would be suf- ficient to destroy any germs ot animal life that might exist. Dr. Love testified that out of 30 samples of what was sold to him as pure butter, only six was genuine, while the rest were imitations. In some of the latter there was a small percentage of butter fat. In no case was it found that there was as much as 10 per cent. of pure butter put in the product. No traces of nitric acid were found in any of the samples analyzed. <> -2- <> _ The Maple Sugar Production. The produetion of maple sugar by States is given in one of the last census volumes. In this product Vermont leads all other States. The production is increasing, which is gratifying from two points of view—the prosperity of a farmer’s industry and the preservation of the forests. The fact of the increase iff production indicates that the ma- ple forests are at least not being destroyed. The total production of maple sugar in 1870 was 28,448,000 pounds; .in 1880, 36,576,000. The States producing overa million pounds in 1870 and 1880 were as follows: 1870. 1880.

Ohio and Indiana have been clearing away their maple forests. The total production was nearly as large as at present in 1850, when the production of Ohio was 4,500,000 and that of New York as large as at present. The largest production of all was, reached in 1860, when over 40,000,000 pounds was produced, even Massachusetts having over 1,000,0000 pounds, against 878,- 000 in 1879. 2-2 A North Carolina professor makes this statement: “Cooking soda, water, and almost any oil will make a good article of milk, from which cream will rise. Tallow, lard, suet and some vegetable oil, with artificial milk are all one needs for making butter. Chinamen construct cheese out of [peas and beans and fat, flavored with cocoanut ;” from which an exchange argues that ‘“‘the gentle cow must go.”’” But we are inclined to think the g. ec. will stay with us. Two commercial travelers comparing notes: “I have been out three weeks,” said the first, “‘and have only got four orders.” ‘“That beats me,” said the other, ‘‘I have been out four weeks,” and have only got one order, and that’s an order from the firm to come PN 8 COMMISSION MERCHANTS. The Business in General, and South Water Sifeei in Particular. “The evils of the commission business are not all on South Water street, nor are they contined to the commission dealers,” said a local representative of the latter class the other day. “As an instance of the injustice frequently meted out tous, I will relate, briefly, an experience that we recently had with an out-of-town dealer. He consigned us several erates of eggs just at a time when they happened to be a drug in the market. He stated that he had paid 25 cents per dozen, and should expect more than that figure. Asamatter ofjfact, we were get- ting only 22 cents, with slow sale at that. We spent half a day driving around, solicit- ing a sale, but without success. Abouta week later we effected a sale to a Cadillac dealer at 22 cents, on sixty days’ time, and immediately sent the consignor our check for the full amount, deducting no commis- sion. In the meantime we received an ur- gent request for an account of sales, and the receipt of the check brought about an angry response, stating that the eggs could have been disposed of at home for 28 cents, and intimating that we would sometime come to realize that ‘honesty is the best policy.’ The writer also enclosed a copy of the Grand Rapids Eagle’s market, for the cur- rent day, quoting eggs at 30 cents, evidently thinking that sufficent authority for the posi- tion taken. It seems that outside dealers will never come to realize that no depend- ance whatever can be placed on the market reports of the local dailies. Wedo not us- ually pay any attention to complaints from consignors, but in this case I gathered quo- tations from several markets, including those in THE TRADESMAN, and forwarded them tothe growler. This experience is but a repetition of similar ones happening every week, and goes to show the utter thankless- ness of the commission merchant’s busi- ness.”’ “Duplicate books and other species of trickery may pay for a time, and those who practice such frauds may flourish like a green bay tree,’”’. said a leading produce dealer, ‘‘but there comes a time when theft ceases to be profitable. And the firm of G. Lasher & Son, of South Water street, has found that time. Two years ago they handled about 100 carloads of Scotch pota- toes for a New York firm. The latter was not satisfied with the returns made and sent out an attorney to look the matter up. He found where most of the potatoes had been placed, and. between the amount realiz- ed and the account of sales rendered discovered a discrepancy of about $5,000. Lasher & Son refused to make amends, and an action for embezzlement is now pending against them, the outcome of which will be looked for with considerable interest.”’ The Difference in Dealers. From the Chicago Purchasing Agent. Tue MICHIGAN TRADESMAN, in its issue of Mareh 5th, has an article on “South Water Street Rascality,” giving the experience of some parties with their consignments of pro- duce, ete., to commission men in our city. There is no question, that among the vast multitude claiming to transact a commission business on the thoroughfare named, parties of questionable probity may be found, but it is unjust to throw doubt upon the class gener- ally. As honest firms in this branch, as in any other in this city or elsewhere, are plenty, but the trouble with shippers gener- ally, who are not in the habit of making con- signments, is, that somehow they see or hear of extra inducements being offéred by parties ostensibly in the business here, who, when they eatch “fresh” parties, either make no returns at all, or else turn the goods over to some good commission house, who sell the goods, deducting commissions, while the re- ceiver takes another commission on the bal- anee. Stick to well-known reliable com- mission men, and but little may be expect- ed. Doubtful Compliment for Mr. Russell. Tom Morehouse, who is understood to be a shining exception to the great mass of dis- reputable dealers who are in the majority on South Water street, writes as follows: Mr. M. C. Russell, of your city, who has been making a tour of South Water street to diseover an honest man, has also made a tour of the Dime Museum here, where he discoy- ered the beauty show. I understand he has made an engagement with the manager to be- come the next attraction, as the manager thinks the people here would willingly pay a dime to see an honest man from Grand Rapids. ——_—__ ~<~-+o-<——___—_—_—_— The Wool Clip ofthe United States. The wool clip of the United States for 1883 is said to exceed that of 1882 by about 20,000,000 pounds, aggregating 320,000,000 pounds. The increase has been principally in the Territories. The consumptive requir- ments of American mills are about 7,000,000 pounds per week, so that even with the above increase in the domestic supply, there will still be a deficiency for domestic con- sumption of about 50,000,000 pounds to be provided for by importation. The defie- iency is chiefly in carpet wools, to the growth of which comparatively little attention is given in this country. o_o ~ Buy Boralumine.

The road was in a wretched condition, and the trains consequently were ran at phenomenally low rate of speed. When the conductor was punching his ticket Artemus remarked: “Toes this railroad company allow passengers to give it advice, if they do so in a respectful manner?” The conductor replied in gruff tones that he guessed so. ‘‘Well,’’ Artemus went on, ‘‘it occurred to me it would be well to detach the cow-catcher from the front of the engine and hitch it to the rear of the train. For you see we are not liable to overtake a cow, but what’s to prevent a cow from strolling into this car and biting a passen- ger?”’ : A man, for having successfully played this trick in Chicago is now in prison: Enter a drug store or a grocery and ask for a cake of soap and tender a $10 bill in payment. The clerk returns a $5 and $4.90 in change. Then discover that you already had ten cents in change which you put with the $4.90, asking the clerk at the same time to give you a five dollar bill for the change. After getting the bill pull out the first $5 and say to the clerk: “Here is $5 more— just give me back the $10.” Simple as this plan is, it frequently fools the confused clerk, and leaves the customer $4.90 and a cake of soap ahead. The best preserves are said to come from France; but this cannot be true. We often hear of a “ perfect jamt” in the United States. Any wholesale house will fill orders for | Boralumine. Country Produce. Apples—Stock light, and market not very well supplied. Baldwins and Russets readily command $4@$4.50, and extra fancy find frequent sale at $5.

Kositchec & Bros., gen- eral store, did not sell out as was reported. Ovid—Henry A. Potter, dry goods, sold out. Remus— - ~ Michigan. THE DEAREST TOBACCO Is a Poor, Common or Low-Priced Article, As It Gives Neither Pleasure Nor Satisfaction. THE PUBLIC IS NOT SLOW TO LEARN THIS FACT WHENEVER IT DISCOVERS AN ARTICLE THAT COMMENDS ITSELF TO THE TASTE AND OTHER SENSES. ——-—THE REMARKABLE SALE OF——— LOMTARDS PLUG TOBACCOS Is Ample Evidence of This. This Concern will Sell over 20,000,000 Pounds of their Favorite Brands this Year; or About One-Foarth of All the Plug; Tobacco Used in this Country’ AND AS THERE ARE BETWEEN 800 AND 900 OTHER FACTORIES IN THE U.S., IT FOLLOWS THAT THEIR GOODS MUST GIVE Better Satisfaction or Represent Better Value for the Money THAN THE BRANDS OF OTHER MAKERS. “CLIMAX,” with Red Tin Tag, is their Best Brand. hie FE J.

GHG RRR Ts 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 enly material for the purpose not dependent upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore it is the only preparation that ts claimed to possess these great advantages, which are essential to constitute a durable wall finish. Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age, moisture, etc.; 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, wich 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.

Sharp was born in Lodi, Seneca county, N. Y., in 1850, and was educated in the common schools of that place. He came to Michigan in 1865, and located with his parents in the township of Gaines, where he remained until 1875. Inthe spring of that year he came to this city and entered the employ of O. W. Blain, then as now engaged in the commission business, where he re- mained until 1879, when he indentified him- self with Cody, Olney & Co., spending but a week inthe house preparatory to starting out on the road. His first sale was to Furber & Kidder, ot Hopkins Station, a customer he has held to the present time. His territory then included the principal points on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, Chicago & West Michigan, and Detroit, Lansing & Northern Railways, he being the first sales- man out of Grand Rapids to cover the latter road. On the occasion of Mr. Underwood’s leaving the firm he added to his trade the towns on the Newaygo division, and there has been no change in his route since. His sales during (the year 1882—the heyday of the grocery trade—amounted to $171,744.98, which is probably the largest showing of the kind that can be made and verified by the books. His largest month’s sales were ,dur- ing August, amounting to $17,381.06, and the smallest duriag February, which were $12,- 461.18. Inthe former month he sold the largest tea order ever received at this market, consisting of 58 half chests, or about 3,480 pounds. He was married in 1878 Miss to Ella R. Weatherly, and resides at 696 Cherry street. Mr. Sharp is a typical Yankee, and pos- sesses all, or nearly all, of the good charac- teristics of that class. He is noted for his punctuality, and is exceedingly particular in this respect, never disappointing a customer when he has promised to meet him on a cer- | tain day. His superabundant good nature and his invariable-square dealing with his cus- tomers have served to place him ip high es- teem with the latter, and enabled him to hold his trade against almost any odds.

As the exemption of both partners, and the attachments, will leave the other creditors “out in the cold,” efforts will be made to secure a_ settlement, so that all the creditors can participate in the proceeds. Peter Doran represents most of the creditors. He Was ‘“‘Long’”’ on Opium. “Your reference to a local quinine specu- lation,” said a West Side drug clerk, ‘ re- minds me of a similar experience that came to my notice at my former home in New York State a few years ago. During the excite ment attending the Turko-Russian war and the report that_the Turkish crop was a fail- ure, opium rose from about $4 to $6.25 a pound. My then employer was confident of a further advance, and purchased 100 pounds at the latter price. It shortly advanced to $8.50, which set him crazy on the subject, and led him to think that the quotations would reach $12. Instead of going higher, however, opium rapidly declined to the old figure, where it has remained ever since. The old fellow was gritty, and declared he would have his purchase price or nothing, and the last I heard from him he was still keeping the stuff in his cellar, with every in- dication that it would go at the latter figure.” ee ee Mr. Mills, Stand Up! C. Newton Smith, of Lakeview, sends us $2 for his own and John S. Miller’s sub- scription, pays the usual tribute to the merits of Tur TRADESMAN, and winds up as fol- iows: “The business men of this village think that L. Max. Mills, of the wholesale drug house of Hazeltine, Perkins & Co., of your city, is decidedly the best drummer that visits this town.” Mr. Mills will please send Mr.’Smith a box of cigars:for expressing the above opinion, and Tie TRADESMAN a duplicate of the same for giving the opinion the proper pub- licity. pe ee Coon Closed Up. : Jaekson Coon, a dealer in boots and shoes at Rockford, was recently attached by Bur- gett & Hart, of Toledo, on a claim for $700, and subsequently Peter Doran, at the in- stance of R. & J. Cummings, of Toledo, put on a second attachment for $650, covering the stock, store, and three lots. There are two mortgages on the. stock, one for $600, given Jan. 24 to Corb & Kutts, of Grand Rapids, and another for $1,000 given March 10 to Neal McMillan, of Rockford. The stock will inventory about $2,800, and the real estate is appraised at $3,000, out of which will come the homestead, valued at $1,500. —— o-oo Boralumine will give you satisfaction. Pe SUGAR IN LUMPS. That Which is Pure and That Which is Not-- Cubes Iniitating Cut Loaf. A correspondent asks the differance be- tween the sugar which is sold in apparently smoothly-cut lumps and other white sugar, the lumps of which are someweat rough on their surfaces. The difference is considera- ble, and the latter, which is pure loaf sugar eut into lumps, always commands a higher price in the wholesale market, and cannot be adulterated. It is called in the market “cut loaf.” The former quality of sugar is what is known as “cubes.” The cut-loaf sugar is made in lumps of fifty pounds out. of cane sugar, then sawed into slabs, and these slabs are partly cut. through and partly broken. It is easy to distinguish the marks of cutting and breaking on each lump. ‘The cube sugar is made of soft sugar and pressed in molds, which gives the smooth appearance. The cut-loaf sugar will keep its shape in any climate, and is suitable for shipment. The cube sugar will sometimes on a sea voyage resume the consistency of the soft sugar, and the change of form is due to adul- teration. The safest sugar for any one to buy is pure loaf sugar, and is much sweeter than any other. The principal substance used in adul- ating sugar is glucose, which is sugar made from various vegetable. substances, chiefly grain. While glucose is sweet it is easily de- tected by the expert because it is not so sweet as cane sugar. It is, nevertheless, very extensively used to adulterate cane sugar and produce the cheap sugars which are sold in the market. Reputable dealers sell it as glucose, but there are many dealers who sell glucose for sugar. The nature of the glucose is to make a close, sticky sugar; it does not preduce grains, like cane. The polariscope readily expeses any adul- teration of sugar, but there is need of some ready test by which dealers who cannot af- ford a polariscope can tell whether they are buying cane sugar or glucose. The glucose is not harmful as food, but its sweetening properties are limited. The official test of cut-loaf sugar is 100 per cent. Other refined sugars in lumps do not always reach that test. At present the precise form of the gen- uine cut-loaf sugar has not yet been counter- feited. —_——__-_—<>-2-——-—_—— Visiting Buyers.

Paine & Field, eet pe of Morley Bros., Cedar Short- Weight Sacks of Flour. } ‘Have you ever had your attention called to short-weight sacks of flour?” said a prom- inent retail dealer in THE TRADESMAN of- fice, the other day. The flour reporter was called in, and ques- tioned in regard to the matter, but professed ignorance, and the dealer was asked to give all the points he was acquainted with on the subject, whereupon he continued: “A day or two ago, one of our best cus- tomers returned a 25 pound sack of flour, stating that it contained but 23 pounds, in- cluding sack. Of course we were inclined to doubt his statement, and remarked that the discrepancy was undoubtedly due to his scales, but upon placing the sack on our own scales we were surprised to find that he was right in the matter. Thinking that perhaps that sack might be an exception, we weighed a number of others, two or three from each of the brands of the three leading mills of the city, but they al] failed to register more than 23 pounds. - This is the first complaint of the kind we have received, and I don’t know how long we have been cheating our customers out of a pound of flour on a sack. Of course we will have to bear all the blame, as most of our customers think that we put up the flour ourselves. It looks as if there was concerted action on the part of the millers of the city to get ahead of us eight pounds on a | 36 barrel, and if such is the fact it is high time we were made aware of the cheat, in order that we may not place ourselves in a false light before our customers.” If the millers have any answer to make to this accusation, the columns of THE TRADES- MAN are open to them. 0 Lyon & Gray’s Showing.

A. Origet’s claim is secured to the amount of $750 by a promissiory note given Oct. 18, 1883, and endorsed by Mary E. Burchard. Considering the amount of secured claims, it is extremely unlikely that the unsecured creditors will realize anything at all from the proceeds of the stock. —— a oe Muskegon in Need of a Hat Store. “Muskegon is the Best point for a hat store I know of anywhere,” said a drummer in that line the other day. ‘There is not a store in the place that carriés over $500 worth of stock, while, Jackson, which has only 4,000 more population, has three estab- lishments that will compare favorably with those inthis city. There is an excellent opening for an exclusively hat and cap store.” ——— 7. o.- A French Sardine packer. at Nantes has beaten the Yankee packers of the same arti- cles in very important invention in connec- tion with the trade, which is bound to place the inventor in the same niche of immortality with those who have minimized the bother of mankind as to many like improvements from a patent cokscrew toa knife sharpener. The distinctive feature of this inenvtion is, that each sardine box contains an ingenious contrivance in the form of a key which af- fords an easy means of opening, and ob- viates the necessity of the old-fashioned openers.

JOHN CAULFIELD Wholesale Grocer 8, 87 and 89 Canal Street in a Natshe The best goods for the least money can be had only at such places where expenses are in proportion to the amount of business done and this is where THE OLD RELIABLE has the advantage over competitors. The secret of our success is that we buy goods as low as cash can produee them. We are thus prepared to place staple and fancy Groceries onthe market at such prices as obtains the con- “| fidence of the CLOSE BUYER who is desirous of getting full value for hismoney. Then; again, we are under no extravagant ex- penses, nor enormous rents, nor supernum- erary expensive agents to tax and annoy customers with, besides not having the profit to divide between three, four or six partners, we can afford to be liberal sellers. —HEADQUARTERS FOR— Chole Butter, Cheese, Mince - Meat, Jellies, Buckwheat Flour, Maple Syrup, ried Peaches, Apples, Blackberries, Hckleherries, SUGARS. @ut Boast Cubes. _..:. - 0222.42... ee 83¢ Powdered Standard. ..........-.e cece 83g Granulated Standard. ..........ccccees 7-84 Standard Confectioners’ A..”.......... 9-44 Stamdard Aun. oo... oc bec cnc cae 9-31 xtra White ©... 1... 2... coe cee. % bextra Brent... 0.2.22... 68. 63, @6%K ten ©. o.oo. co cae: 614 @63% Wellow ©... 2... +. 3 eee ees, 61g @63¢ CANNED GOODS Are still the absorbing question.

LEntered at the .Postofice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.] WEDNESDAY, MAROH 19, 1884. AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY. It is reported that W. J. Price contem- plates engaging in the fur business. Jas. O. McCool succeeds Chas. McCool in the grocery business at 72 Calder street. Dr. J. B. Evans is said to have come into possession of a ferret that affords him no end of amusement. J. C. Watson left Monday for three weeks’ trip through the Saginaw Valley in _ the interest of C. S. Yale& Bro. A. M. Sprague, of Jackson, traveling agent for Welling & Carhart, paid his usual semi-annual visit to the house last week. _—_— HH G. B. Wright (E. LL.) has removed his Holland branch of the ‘“Bee Hive” to Kala- mazoo and opened a new store at Plainwell. Norman Harris has just got in shape to re- sume business at Big Springs. He purchased his new dry goods stock this week of Spring & Company. Henry Ives, traveling representative for the Plumb & Lewis Manufacturing Co., leaves Thursday for an extended business trip through the Southwest. Mr. James A. Crookston takes exceptions to the substitution of a cipher for a figure 9 Sn the year of his birth, 1829, and says that 55 years are plenty enough for him. M. B. Church has bought the Haire farm, on the river below the city. It contains 640 acres, 425 of which are improved and under cultivation. The purchase price is reported to be $25,000. Geo. A. Smith, formerly with A. A. Crip- pen, now on the road for Spaulding & Thayer, hat and cap\jobbers of Boston, spent last week with friends in this city, and left Monday for a trip through Illinois and Mis- souri. John G. Shields, of Shields, Bulkley & Lemon, is in the South, recruiting his health, accompanied by a sister, who is also in poor health. During his absence, he willlook up the advisability of handling fruits and raw sugars, purchased from first hands. Such is fame. Every Saturday, the bright and spicy society paper of Detroit, re- fers to Mr. Harvey J. Hollister, cashier of the Old National Bank, as “‘chorister of thé Old National Band.” The imbecile proof- reader who stumbled over such a_ blunder should be banished to the Fiji Islands. Chas. Root & Co., of Detroit, still continues in possession of the Giddings stock at Sand Lake, and an inventory of the stock and ac- counts is now in progress. John Caulfield claims to have a prior mortgage on the stock for $1,000, but Peter Doren, attorney for the firm in possession, ignores the mortgage, holding that their claim is enritled to prior- ity. Mr. M. J. Clark has returned from Min- nesota, whither he went to investigate the matter of dissolving the attachments against the Wetzell Bros’. land, referred to in last week’s TRADESMAN. He states that the ablest legal talent of that State incline to the opinion that they can be dissolved, and that he proposes to leave no stone unturned to secure that end. H. W. Beecher and J. S. Kymer, travel- ing representatives for Eaton, Lyon & Allen for the past eight years, have formed a co- partnership under the firm name of Beecher & Kymer and purchased the book and sta- tionery business of M. E. Haskell, at Trav- erse City. They will continue their present relations with Eaton, Lyon & Allen, placing their new business in the hands of Merritt B. Holley. Hon. Julius Houseman, member of Con- gress from this district, was interviewed Monday by a reporter of THE TRADESMAN relative to the prospects for the enactment of a National bankrupt bill at the present session of Congress. He stated that the amended Lowell bill had been reported fa- vorably, and placed on the calendar in the House, and that in his opinion the senti ment in favor of the measure was so strong that there would be little difficulty in getting it through. A movement is on foot among the jobbers and manufacturers of the city looking to- ward the organization of an Exchange or Union, for the purpose of securing an ex- change of credit reports, and otherwise sup- plementing the work of the mercantile agencies. Such organizations have been in existence in Detroit, Chicago and other cities for several years, and have resulted in much good to the membership. A meeting will shortly be called to arrange the preliminar- fies attending the organization. AROUND THE STATE. Jas. A. Sheldon succeeds Davis & May in the meat market business at Petoskey. J. W. Richards, of Detroit, is thinking of starting a hardware store in Elk Rapids. HH. M. Freeman, the Lisbon general dealer, has been elected president of the village. Lyman & McRae have opened a grocery, flour and feed store at Clarion. ° J. Vander Werp & Crotty succeeds J. Vander Werp Jr. in the grocery business at Muskegon. Jorgensen & Heningsen is the name of the firm who succeed C. M. Woodard, in general trade at Ashland P. O. C. Rhefus and J. E. Just are each building a brick store at Muir, one to be occupied as a shoe store, the other for a general store. W. R. Burt has sold his interest in the wholesale grocery house of R. Boyd & Co., at East Saginaw, to Messrs. Boyd and Barlow of the same firm. Lee Smith has bought out T. W. Preston, dealer in drugs and groceries, at Crystal. Smith was formerly a partner of Preston in the same business. STRAY FACTS. Hillsdale has again an edge tool factory. Blissfield is working to get an iron foun- dry. Fremont is laying her cards for a carding mill. The Cheboygan Democrat clamors for an extra bank at that place. The American Cigar Co. at Coldwater make 26,000 cigars daily. @ F. Woodhams has removed his harness business from Plainwell to Prairieville. Chas. Bailey, of Fife Lake, is building a saw millat Kewadin, on Elk Lake. Harbor Springs is jubilant over the loca- tion of a machine shop and foundery in that place. Saginaw has prospects of a railroad to connect with the Wabash at Adrian or Man- chester. Frank H. Nix, photographer at Reed City, has taken as a partner E. H. De Vogt, of Traverse City. Battle Creek expects to get an Ohio iron bridge factory to establish a branch there, employing 100 men. H. E. Phelps, of Marshall, is negotiating with Battle Creek manufacturers, for the manufacture of his patent step ladder. The Fremont tannery turns out over 800 sides of sole leather weekly. . It is said to have a contract to furnish church fairs with leather oysters. The woodenware manufactory works of Gonsolus & Co., Big Rapids, will be in active operation early next month. The boilers are now being placed in position. Ed. C. Pierce, for many years with the firm of F. H. & E. O. Pierce, general dealers at Flint, has purchased a half interest in the wholesale confectionery business of Chas. Harrison. Chester people are talking of building a combination hall and factory, which shall be used in summer for the manufacture of cheese, in the fall for political meetings, and in the winter for a rink. The Mancelona Herald is responsible for the following joke at the expense of a rival town: “Bellaire is a temperance town and contains no saloon. ‘Three drug stores to prescribe for the sick is sufficient.” At Celdwater, A. E. Morrison has bought Herman Friedman’s stock of notions and fancy goods, and Enos N. Billings has pur- chased the interest of M. W. Brainard in the firm of Brown & Brainard, furniture dealers. John M. Flanagan, of Lowell, who recent- ly formed a co-partnership with Mr. Greeup, of Big Rapids, under the firm name of Green- up & Flanagan, for the purpose of engaging in the banking business at Mancelona, writes TuE TRADESMAN that the project has been abandoned. This will be a cause for general regret throughout Northern Michigan. Job- bers having collections in that locality, how- ever, can entrust them to Judge C. S. Ea" wards, of Mancelona, and rest assured that they will be given dilligent attention. qq» -——_——_ Late Furniture Gossip. F. Menzer has engaged in the manufacture of undertaking goods at Flint. C. E. Dunks, formerly of Detroit, will shortly open a furniture store at Flint. C. R. Robinson will soon engage in the cabinet and undertaking business to Prairie- Ville. The Reelining Swing-Chair Co. will soon open up at Buchanan under favorable cir- cumstances. The Same the World Over. This is the way she talked to her grocery- man, while another customer stood at the counter and was in a hurry to be waited on, and all the rest of the clerks busy: “Well, let me see—I can’t think ef anything else I wart. What is that? Canned salmon—no, I guess not. Oh, I guess you may send us some sugar. Ithink we’re nearly out of sugar. I don’t know. You may send me five pqgunds—no, not five pounds—only three pounds and a half. Our box is teo small to hold five pounds. Well (walks slowly up and down the store). I don’t think I want anything else to-day. What is this—bottled horseradish? It is good. How much isit a bottle? Well, I don’t care— No; I guess not. Well, yes; I'll take it. Oh, yes—and send a Spanish onion and half adozen bottles ef perter. Well, I guess that’s all. How much are these grapes? No, I won’t have any to-day. They look niee, too. Well, send a pound. (Goes toward the door.) Don’t forget to send the things right away. Oh, I forgot (turning back), some pepper. Have you white pepper? Send a box. Now, you’ll be sure to send them in time, won’t you? I think tha’ts about all.” (Goes out.) Customer goes as far as “I want”—(She returns.) ‘Now, don’t forget to send them things right away, will you? How much is this red cabbage a head. I think you may put a head along with the rest,” amd she was gone. “What can I do for you? Sorry I’ve kept you so long wait- ing,” said the grocer. ‘Can you change me a half a dollar?” said the weary man in waiting. : ————_—__ oe —- Enormous quantities of oranges are pro- duced in Paraguay.

Glucose has been given a certificate of good character by President Marsh, of the Nation- al Academy of Sciences. He says that neither in its normal condition nor ferment- ed has glucose any deleterious effect upon the system, even when taken in quantities, and that the only objection is that it contains less of the sweetening powers than sugar. The principal of its admixture with sugar cane, it will be seen, is the same as though a certain quantity of dissoluble sand had been added. Brewers in the country and else- where fare as yet the best customers of the glucose factories. In the United States there are twenty-nine factories, with $5,000,000 capital, using 40,000 bushels of corn daily, and producing annually $10,000,000 worth of glucose. Germany has thirty-nine fac- tories of this starch sugar, with an annual product of 40,000 tons. Since the introduction of the two-cent let- ter stamps, so steadily has the demand for postal cards fallen off that the Postmaster- General suggests a reduction of $35,000 for the cost of manufacture in the estimates of the next fiscal year.
