' } { Fair Prices, Good Quality, and All Consumed ' —This Year’s Yield Restricted{by Drought, | but Acreage Largely Increased—Former | Crops, Supply, Consumption, and Other Facts and Figures. \ | { { The peanut crop of the United States has become of much commercial importance to the comparatively small part of the country engaged in its production and the consider- able mercantile interest engaged in its dis- tribution. The production is subject to as many vicissitudes as those which attend other agricultural commodities, and conse- quently the yield varies greatly in different years both in quantity and quality, causing wide fluctuations in value, which restrict or promote consumption, as prices rise or fall. It requires a peculiar soil and a long season to produce*peanuts in perfection, and they are cultivated for commercial purposes only in a few counties in Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina; one or two counties in Southwestern Kentucky occasionally have some to sell, and in some other parts of the South they are produced in quantities suf- ficient for local consumption. Virginia is the largest producer and furnishes more than one-half of the commercial supply. Tennes- see comes next, and North Carolina is third in importance. Of late years California has produced some peanuts, but they are all con- sumed on the Pacific Coast, and do not en- ter into the question of supplies in our mar- kets. The Virginia crop consists of white nuts, and is marketed principally at Norfolk and Petersburg. The North Carolina crop consists also of white nuts, which are of good quality but smaller than the Virginia production, and are marketed at Wilming- ton. The Tennessee crop, which finds its main outlet at Cincinnati, consists of about two-thirds or three-quarters white and one- third or one-quarter red; the white nuts are similar to those of Virginia, and when care- fully handled and cleaned are of about the same commercial value. Too little atten- tion is given by many of the Tennessee pro- ducers to the importance of marketing the crop in a clean and attractive condition; there has been some improvement in this regard during late years, but there is room for still further progress; if the imperfect nuts were removed and the whole well cleaned the advanced price obtained would compensate well for the trouble and expense. The red nuts sell for less than white, prob- ably because they are less attractive in ap- pearance. There have been no foreign peanuts re- ceived at the Atlantic ports during the year, but New York had left over from last year from 5,000 to 6,000 bags of African nuts of such poor quality that they were almost un- salable as long as anything else could be ob- tained, and itis only within the last two weeks that the remnant of them has been cleaned, and probably they will be sold be- fore new nuts are available for consumption, At the beginning of the year on October 1, 1882, the stock of peanuts in the distribut- ing markets was light; Cincinnati had in- round numbers about 80,000 bushels, New York had about 10,000 bushels, exclusive of the inferior African, Boston about the same amount, and there were in Nashville and at other Tennessee points about 30,000 bushels, making an available supply of about 150,000 bushels. Stocks are now practically ex- hausted everywhere. New York has per- | haps some 5,000 bushels, besides some re- cleaned African; Cincinnati has less than 5,000 bushels, Boston, Norfolk, Petersburg, Wiimington and Nashville have none of con- sequence, and there are no old nuts remain- ing in producers’ hands, so that we com- mence the year with bare markets; the few remaining will be exhausted long before any considerable quantity of the new crop is ready for the trade. There has been a good demand for pea- nuts thoughout the year in nearly all the markets; but there were seasons of depres- sion in the trade, caused, in the first place, by the rushing to market of many from Vir- ginia in a partly cured condition, which were unsafe to hold, and were forced off to the detriment of prices, not only of Virginia nuts but of all other kinds, on account of their competition; but the crops proved to be somewhat less than the estimates made the first of the year, and during the last two months prices have been very high, but not- withstanding this almost everything has gone into consumption. LAST YEAR’S CROP. The Virginia crop last year amounted to 1,250,000 bushels, the North Carolina crop 140,000 bushels, and the Tennessee crop 460,000 bushels. The quality of the latter crop was about a fair average and a great improvement over the very inferior crop of the preceding year; in fact there were some localities where the quality of the white nuts compared favorably with the best Virginia production. On this account, and because cleanly condition, there was no trouble in effecting sales at reasonably good prices, which were fairly renumerative to those pro- ducers who were fortunate enough to have The higher prices which prevailed during the past year, together with the increase in the crop, made the aggregate value of the production much larger in the primary dis- tributing markets than last year, amounting to about $2,000,000 against $1,650,000 in 1881-82 and $1,800,000 in 1880-81. PROSPECTS FOR THE NEW CROP. The fairly remunerative prices which pre- vailed during the first half of the year en- couraged farmers to make exertions to in- crease the acreage this year, both in Tennes- see and Virginia. The spring was some- what backward, but still the weather con- ditions were not especially unfavorable, and in nearly every county a much larger area has been devoted to this crop than ever be- fore. Had the season proved to be uniform- ly favorable throughout the summer there is no doubt that the yield would have been enormous, so large in fact that the markets would have been overstocked and conse- quently prices would have ruled very low, but the drouth, which in the south has been so severe that the yield of cotton has been largely reduced, has also cut short the crop of peanuts. At one time it was feared that the crop in Virginia would not be half of an average, but timely rains have greatly ben- efited it, and, although this retards the ma- turity, it is quite possible that nearly an av- erage yield may be obtained, but this de- pends largely upon the weather; if there be no heavy frost until November, the produc- tion will be much larger than if the cold weather comes sooner, for many of the late planted nuts are far from ripe, and would be very sensitive and liable to great damage from frost. The acreage in Virginia is es- timated at 10 to 25 per cent. increase over last year; taking the more conservative fig- ure and calling it 10 per cent., and estimat- ing the deficiency in yield on account of drouth at 10 per cent., it follows that the crop would amount to about the same as last year—1,250,000 bushels. In North Carolina there is no increase in acreage reported, and the prospects are that the yield per acre will be about the same as a year ago. The crop is maturing about a week later than usual, but will doubtless all be secured in good condition and wiil aver- age well in quality. The crop last year was 140,000 bushels, which is the largest ever reported in that state; and as the general tendency is to an increase in production each year, it may not be out of the way to call it 150,000 bushels this year. In Tennessee the leading peanut growing counties have gained from 10 to 25 per cent. in acreage, and though the yield has been cut down by the dry weather in some locali- ties, it is very good in others, and will not fall very much below the average of a series of years, although it will not probably be up to the average of good years, and while it is evident that the production will aggregate much more than last year, 1t will be far un- der the possibilities of a full crop. Conserv- ative estimates place it at 600,000 bushels, which is 140,000 more than the crop of last year. ‘The quality everywhere is reported to be good, and in some places very fine. If there is no mishap in the curing the quality will doubtless be better than for several years past. There appears to be an increase in the production of white at the expense of red nuts, the estimated proportion being three-quarters white to one-quarter red. ESTIMATED SUPPLY FOR 1883-84. The supply available for consumption for the ensuing year—October 1, 1883, to Sep- tember 30, 1884—may be fairly estimated as follows: Bushels.

Hall reports the result of ex- periments on the action of vegetable acids— acetic, tartaric and citric acids—on lead and tin. The results were rather negative in ‘their tendency, and seem hardly to bear out the assertions that are made respecting the danger of lead poisoning from tinned goods. The most danger is from the solder, and from the action of the acids on the tin itself. The corrosion does not appear to increase as regularly as is supposed with the strength of these acids; but it is found that corrosion, in the case of canned fruit, takes place very rapidly after a can is opened, so that a can when opened should be emptied at once, Mr. Hall’s analyses of bright tinplate failed in every case to show enough lead impurity to justify the charge of intended adultera- tion, even in the worst-looking ware from the five-cent stores. Terne plate, used for roofing, is known to contain large quantities of lead, but no one with his eyes open is ever likely to buy it for genuine tin. ‘Tin-foil, which is used in enveloping various kinds of food, is in some cases pure tin, in other cases heayily adulterated. Specimens used for wrapping different kinds of compressed yeast were pure. The worst specimen(89.87 per cent. lead) was embossed, and on a very fashionable cake of chocolate. The difference between a woman and an umbrella is that there are times when you can shut up an umbrella. THE PRINT TRADE. Some of the Evils that Affect the Business. A correspondent signing himself ‘Calico Printer” sends the United States Econo- mist the following thoughtful suggestions: I am a calico printer of long standing in this country and am frequently asked by jobbers and storekeepers, and ladies that use calico for dresses, the reason why we do not produce calicoes of the same quality as we made 35 years ago (like the Merrimack, Hamilton, and Spragues), I desire to write yon a few words on the subject. The jobbers assert that they never used to be afraid to lay in large stocks of prints for- merly, for they were always sure to sell in due time. An old established storekeeper remarked to me a few days ago, Why do you not make such prints now as the Merrimack used to make before the war? I ; answered him: We cannot afford to make so good at the price that prints are sold for now. said he never used to be afraid to fill up his shelves with large stocks, for they were sure to sell. Scores of ladies have also asked me the same qnestion as this jobber. They universally say they would rather pay 1214 cents per yard and get something that would wear well than the goods they now ob- tain at 6 or 8 cents. I can hardly tell where or how to begin to correct this evil, but I will do the best I can. In the first place I would say, if the commission merchants and jobbers would get together and demand better goods, and would pay a better price fur them, the printers would all be glad to do it and give our country women better prints than they ever did. As the case stands at present the manufacturers make the cloth so light in weight, so much less warp and filling, and hence they produce so many more goods than are wanted in the trade. If the cloths were made heavier and better in every way the prints, as a matter of course, would look better and sell better. And then if the printers were to make their colors pefrectly fast, how much this would add to the re- spectability of the business and satisfaction of the country and trade at large. A great many of the prints that are now made the colors fade before they are made into garments, and the only reason is, they cannot get paid the cost if they use madder colors or make them better. An able print- er some years ago made an effort to get all the calico printers to meet together to devise some means to improve the business; but one large printer in Massachusetts said to this gentleman, “There are too many print works in the country; we must kill some of them off, and then the rest that continue would improve the business.’’? What a base spirit for aso-called gentleman to advance to his brother printer! But he is now out of the way himself. Quite a number of those who did all in their power to destroy the business of the small printers are now out of the way themselves, and will never trouble the business again. While they were doing all in their power to slay others they have fallen to rise no more. There is another great drawback to our printers, and it makes it hard work for them to stand up under it, namely, the guaran- teeing of the print. As hardly any one ean always be successtul in getting up styles for a season, and all his best work and styles sell out, as a matter of course it follows to- ward the close of the season he must offer those that are left and objectionable ata little lower figure. But why should all his best styles and work be brought to the same level with his poor styles, as now under the guarantee system? Now I am going to give you an instance that bears on this point: I know a printer who took some orders for prints that were to be made at a certain price for a Chicago house, and before he de- livered the goods he would have got 114 cents more per yard for the prints in New York than was agreed upon. But the printer delivered those goods at the price stipulated, and at the close of that season’s work the price of prints deelined a little, and this same gentleman made a claim on the printer for corrected bills on those very goods, and it was paid—and this was a prominent Christian man. The printers are now making an effort to try and do something to improve the busi- ness, but itis uphill work. I think if any- thing is to be accomplished it will have to be done as I have suggested. There is no reason why we should not be in a high state of prosperity in this country, as its re- sources are more abundant than in any other country. If all kinds of business men would only try to build each other up, instead of fighting each other at the expense of the country, how much happiness would result from it to allthe nation. A Chicago wholesale house sent out three female drummers by way of experiment. One of them wore all her samples to a picnic and got lemonade, pie and grass stains all over. them; another got mashed on a brakesman and followed him off, and the third reported three new dresses, a lawn tennis suit, a garden hat and a Langtry bang in her expense account. The house is so well satisfied with the result of the experi- ment that it will not repeat it—Burlington Hawkeye. He: Needle- Making in England. | Almost all the needles made in England | are made at Reddich. The wire is of the best quality of steel, and is supplied in coils varying from 1200 to 3000 yards in length, and from 1-22 inch to 1-100 inch in thick- ness. The processes passed through are as follows: The wire is cut, to lengths of two needles, by hand or machine shears; these lengths are annealed in bunches of about four inches in diameter; while still hot, and held together by rings, the bundles are rolled over by hand-pressure on an iron table, so as to straighten each other; they are then pointed at both ends successively upon quick-running grindstones, being rotated be- tween two India-rubber bands, traveling over agrindstone with concave face; by a blow from a falling die the two heads are haded and gutters marked for the eyes; the eyes are pierced by a pair of punches in a delicate hand-press; the needles are thread- ed upon a pair of fine wires, and filed to re- move the bur made in stamping; they.are then broken across through the thin fin left between the heads, and the heads them- selves rounded by filing; they are then heated in small iron trays, and dropped separately into an oil bath, to harden them; after which they are tempered on a hot plate, or in a stove, and straightened by a hand-hammer on a small anvll, to remove any warping due to hardening. The needle has now assumed its final con- dition, but it is not yet finished. The next operation is scouring, for which a number of needles, mixed up with soft soap, emery and oil, are wrapped up with canvas into a roll of about two feet-long and three inches di- ameter, and then rolled backward and for- ward under runners worked by a crank from the engine. The process goes on for eight hours, during which the needles are contin- ually rubbing against each other, and it is repeated from two to eight times, the final scouring being with putty powder. In some eases the straightening and scouring are pertormed at the same time by machinery. When perfectly scoured the needles are shaken up in a tray until they all lie paral- lel, and then, by a dexterous motion of the hand, they are shifted so that all the points are in the same direction. Next, defective needles are picked out of the lot by hand; the eyes are “blued” or softened by travers- ing them over a gas-flame, and in some cases the eye is smoothed on each face by a counter-sunk drill. The needles are then strung on horizontal wires, carried on a re- ciprocating frame; the wires have serrated surfaces, which smooth the inside of the eyes as the needles swing to and fro; this process is called burnishing. Lastly, the heads and points are finished off by grinding first on a nine inch running grindstone, and then on an emery roller, the workman hold- ing a number of needles in his hand together, and rolling them between his finger and thumb. Itnow only remains to stick the needles side by side in sheets of paper and pack them for sale. For Love of a Child. A Cincinnati paper says: In a pottery factory here there is a workman who had one small invalid child at home. He wrought at his trade with exemplary fidelity, being always in the shop with the opening of the day. He managed, however, to bear each evening to the bedside of his “wee lad,” as he called him, a flower, a bit of ribbon, or a fragment of crimson glass—indeed any- thing that would lie on the white counter- pane and give color to the room. He was a quiet, unsentimental man, but never went home at night without something that would make the wan face light with joy at his re- turn. He never said to a living soul that he loved that boy somuch. Still he went on patiently loving him, and by and by he moved that whole shop of men into positively real but unconcious fellowship with him. The workmen made curious little jars and cups upon their wheels, and painted diminitive pictures down their sides before they stuck them in the corners of the kiln at burning time. One brought some fruit in the bulge of his apron, and another engravings in a rude serap-book. Not one of them whispered a word, for this solemn thing was not to be talked about. They put them in the old man’s hat, where he found them; he under- stood all about it, and, believe it or not, eyn- ics, as you will, but it is a fact that the entire pottery full of men, cf rather course fiber by nature, grew quiet as the months drifted, becoming gentle and kind, and some drop_ ped swearing as the weary look on the pa. tient fellow-worker’s face told them without mistake that the inevitable shadow was drawing nearer. Every day now somebody did a piece of work for him and put it on the sanded plank to dry so that he could come later and go earlier. So, when the bell, tolled, and the little coffin came out of the lowly door, right around the corner, out of sight, there stood the hundred stalwart workingmen from the pottery. with their clean clothes on, most of whom gave a half day’s time for the privelege of taking part in the simple procession, and following to the grave that small burden of a child which probable no one of them had ever seen. The orange crop of Florida will, it is said, be one-eighth in excess of last year’s. The Uses of Alligator Leather. A large variety of pocket-books, card-cases, hand-bags and other articles are now made from alligator leather, and the use of alliga- tor skin seems to be increasing. Twelve or fifteen years ago, the leather was tanned as a curiosity. Few articles were made of it. About four years ago, however, the manu- facture of alligator leather was begun in earnest. First a few shoes were made of it, and the manufacturers of such goods saw that there was something init. It is a pe- culiarly beautiful leather. There are no two skins marked just alike, and it follows that no two articles made of the leather can be alike. The natural color of the leather is attractive, aside from the beauty of the of the marking. It finishes soft and flexible. It is conceded that the American tan and finish is superior to the best workmanship of the old country. Sixty dollars a dozen, for such goods, is a low price. While the beauty of alligator leather is its chief characteristic, its great durability is of hardly less importance. The grip-sacks of alligator leather will outwear their owners, no matter how youthful. With these two things in their favor, it is no wonder that the sale of alligator leather is increasing. One-half million of alligators were slain for their skins last year; most of them came from Florida and the other Gulf States. The animals are shot with rifles, and the ne- groes have almost a monopoly of the busi- ness. When an alligator crawls out on the sand for his afternoon sleep he falls a vic- tim. The negro gets from fifty cents to one dollar for each skin. The hunt is carried on so vigorously that the reptiles are begin- ning to grow scarce. Laws will have to be enacted to protect them during the breeding season and when young. All sizes, from two to eighteen feet in length, are now killed. The choice skin is six feet long. There is as much difference between the six-foot skin and the eighteen-foot skin as there is between a calf skin and an ox-hide. The skins are packed in lime for two months to remove the horny seales. The remaining process is much like that for any leather. I+ takes four months to prepare a skin. There is a tannery for alligator skins in Brooklyn. When you want an alligator leather article of any kind, choose the uncolored goods, pay a fair price, and you will get the cheap- est as well as the handsomest and best. Potato Ivory. From the Mechanical World. This new “vegetable ivory” is made from ordinary potatoes—provided they are tolera- bly sound and fully developed—by purely chemical means. The selected tubers must first be carefully peeled and the “eyes” cut out, all spongy and discolored parts being also scrupulously pared away. The peeled tubers should then be allowed to soak for a short time, first in plain, then in acidulated water, sulphuric acid being the agent employed, and the mixture should be quite cold before the potatoes are put into it. The next, and most important part of the process is boiling the vegetables in diluted sulphurie acid for a considerable time. Herein lies the gist of the invention, the secret of which is kept rather closely at present, but a series of well-or- ganized experiments weuld probably enable any of our friends to elucidate the question. The variety and age of the vegetable it- self, the time for which it is subjected to the action of the acid, and especially the strength of the latter are all matters of great impor- tance to the object in view as affecting the quality of the preparation. As some little guide, however, we may bear in mind the process of “parchmentizing” paper, which is effected in the cold, and also the fact that heat greatly enhances the action of all acids upon organic substances, so that as the po- tatoes, according to our advices, have to be boiled in the liquid, a comparatively more dilute acid should probably be used. Treat- ed in this way the entire substance of the potato hardens and becomes gradually less pervious. When done they are to be taken out and washed ina stream of first warm and afterward cold water, the subsequent drying process being in all cases a slow and gradual one. Potato ivory thus prepared is not very unlike the “vegetable” kind, but it is said to be of more even grain as well as eas- ier to turn, while it is not so liable to split when exposed to the influence of a very dry atmosphere. Potato ivory is of a creamy white tint, hard, durable and elastic, it being even adapted, it is stated, for the manufacture of billiard balls. There is no difficulty in dy- ing or coloring the material either during the process of preparation, or afterward, and altogether it would seem that this new product is one which is capable of a great number of useful applications. To its other good qualities it adds that of being exceed- ingly cheap. Weshould have said before that the sulphuric acid used must be quite free from impurity, even traces of nitric or hydrochloric acid being detrimental. A Napa Valley farmer has invented a sort of combination reaper and mower, which at one and the same time cuts and rakes in the grain, plows for the next harvest, kills squir- rels, prospects for gold, poisons gophers, and picks up all the oroide watch chains dropped by the last peddler chased off the ranch by the dogs.—San Francisco Post. Equity and Bankruptcy. From the New York Mail. It is not strange that the recent failure in which favorite creditors received preferences amounting to nearly $900,000, the total in- debtedness of the collapsed firm amounting to about $1,500,600, has provoked a remon- strance from the Chamber of Commerce, and a demand for legislation for the equitable distribution of the property of bankrupts among creditors. It is well known that a failing firm may turn nearly all its assets over to a few favorites, while other creditors whose claims are equally valid are compell- ed to content themselves with the most tri- fling payments. It must be confessed, also, that many New York business men are ad- verse to the enactment of a national bank- rupt law, since their superior Sagacity and experience enable them to get fully their share, and generally more in a scramble for the assets of a failing debtor. But, never- theless, equity demands the enactment of a national bankrupt law, and the production - of a perfect statute for the distribution of bankrupt estates is a problem which requires the profoundest attention of the world’s wisest men. Such an statute has never yet been established, and there is as much dissat- isfaction in England as in the United States with the bankruptcy legislation of the past. The nicest discriminations must be made to prevent the oppression of bankrupts, on the one hand, and their too easy release on the other. Perhaps Judge Lowell, of Massa- chusetts, has approached nearer to perfection than any one else, in the bill drawn by him and submitted to Congress, and after cer- tain changes recommended by the New York Chamber of Commerce have been made, it might advantageously be enacted at the coming session of Congress. Wouldn’t Part With His Old Hat. From Texas Siftings. ‘What a horribly shabby hat you are wear- ing,” said a gentleman on Austin avenue to an acquaintance. “I declare I am really ashamed of you. Come into this hat store and [ll get you a new one.” “O, no, you don’t. You ean’t play no such tricks on me.” “Tricks! What do you mean? want to play no tricks on you.” “Yes you do, but I won’t have it that way,” objected the man with the bad hat. “Where is the least chance for a trick !” “Why, you see my wife declares she won’t go out with me as long as I wear this hat, and I don’t propose to render myself perfeet- ly defenseless by getting a new one. This hat Saves me five dollars a day sometimes, and I wouldn’t part with it for any money. I don’t Satisticians have pronounced the United States to be not only potentially, but actual- ly, richer than the United Kingdom. Count- ing the houses, furniture, manufactures, railways, shipping, bullion, lands, cattle, crops, investments, and roads, it is estimated that there is a grand total in the United States of $49,770,000,000. Great Britain is credited with something less than $40,000,- 000,000, or nearly $10,000,000,000 less than the United States. The wealth per inhabi- tant in Great Britain is estimated at $1 150 and in the United States at $995. With re- gard to the renumeration of] abor, assuming the produce of labor to be 100, in Great Brit- ain 56 parts go to the laborer, 21 to capital, and 23 to government. In France 41 parts go to labor, 36 to capital, and 23 to govern- ment. In the United States parts go to labor, 23 to capital, and 5 to government. G2 A man sends us two dollars and says, “Send me your paper as long as the money lasts.” This remind us of a story they tell of Swineford, editor of the Marquette Jowr- nal. A man met him in the hotel and handed him two dollars, and told him to send his paper as long as the money lasted. Swineford was pleased, and invited the subscriber to take a drink, and then they played a few games of billiards, and the games were all sawed off on Swineford. He paid the bill, and then told the man that his subscription had expired, and that he want- ed two dollars more, which he got.—Peck’s Sun. Ata recent meeting, the bank Presidents of Boston adopted a resolution “That the speedy enactment by Congress of a National Bankrupt law, equitable in its provisions for debtor and creditor in all sections of the country, is indispensably necessary to main- tain confidence between the banks and their constituents, and we approve and indorse the Lowell bill, so-ealled, with possibly some needed amendments, as most expedient and best adapted to the wants of the people of the United States.” The use of annatto in coloring butter is a fraud, not because it injures the bntter, or adds to the weight, but because it imparts an unnatural color, thus enabling butter makers to sell that which is strictly white for that which is yellow. The annatto does no harm, it is true, but butter, like every- thing else, should be sold on its merits only, and not by its appearance.—Cash Grocer.

Bentley writes from London to the Texas Wool-Grower that he thinks prices for mutton and wool in this country will be as high or higher next year than in 1882. He bases his calculation on the ground that the world’s supply of sheep is at present comparatively lighter than one year ago. He regards the outlook rather favorable. (ND It is very noticeable that most of the fail- ures of late have been assignments to rela- tives. This dodge is getting thin. The New York Chamber of Commerce recently appointed a committee to suggest such amendments to the State law, regulating assignments, as will prohibit preferences and place all creditors on the same basls. eS An improved Peavey.

With a slotted socket a stock can be replaced in a few moments by turning anut. The slot has a giving tendency which prevents its breaking short off, as well as a jar to the hand, while the steel jaws keep the hook from wearing down on the pick and dulling it. The round bill hook will catch logs of all sizes, and enable the handler to disengage it easily. For further information address the Curtis & Co. Manufactur- ing Company, 40 Franklin street, Chicago. | | | a | ALABASTINE qagaggyyggay ' 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, etc.; the plaster absorbs the admixtures, forming a stone cement, while all kalsomines, or other whitening preparations, have inert soft chalks, or 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 seraping 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. teh be bbhees ———FOR SALE BY——— ALL Paint Dealers. ——MANUFACTURED BY—— THE ALABASTINE COMPANY M.

Granger with a handsome gold watch chain and guard on Monday, as a tes- timonial of his five years’ faithful service as shipping clerk. Mr. James Fox, of Fox, Musselman & Loveridge left last night for a brief call on the patrons of the firm along the West Michigan road, southwest.
