THE CHEESE TRADE.

 

The Situation at Present—Future Prospects
From the Commercial Enquirer.
Since the appearance of the first box of

this year’s make of cheese, there has been

an uninterrupted decline in value. Yet, at

a shrinkage of some 414 cents per pound

from the starting point, the weakness ap-
pears quite as great as ever, and the present

outlook affords little encouragement for a

steadier position until cost falls to a much
lower level. Whether that point will be
reached by a continuation of the weekly
fractional shadings under which buyers

have thus far gained their advantages, or

through a perpendicular decline, will de-
pend principally upon the receipts, as the
market even now commences to accumulate
a small surplus, and it would require buta

few thousand boxes additional to demoral-
ize holders. It is not unusual at this time of

the year to find values on the downward
turn: indeed, it is rather expected that between
hay and grass stock it will be necessary to
grant buyers some favors in order to keep
supplies properly in motion; yet, as a com-
pensation for the allowances made, it is fur-
ther calculated that demand will stimulate
sufficiently to exhaust offerings closely and
occasionally bring about a little reaction to
help out incautious buyers on the couutry
markets. Thus far, nothing of the kind has
occurred, nor does there appear hope for
any early development, as_ the exhibition of
interest on the part of foreign buyers ab-
ruptly terminates when the limit of positive
orders is reached, and cheese seems to be
taken more as an act of condescension than
through any pressing necessity for handing
it. Thereis a possibility that exporters
may simulate indifference with more than
ordinary success, but a careful watching of
all movements this season leads us to the
impression that the holding off is no mere
buyer’s trick, but simply the result of an
honest conviction in the necessity of finding
the lowest possible limit of cost before in-
vesting. The results of last year’s opera-
tions would lead to that course to some ex-
tent, but the determination of the English
consumers to have fine goods at low cost is
evidently quite as strong now as when refer-
red to in this column at the commencement
of the season, and with greatly improved
supports. Nature has proven remarkably
prodigal with her favors, and from all parts
of the country come reports of close, well-
set and abundant pasturage, cows in excel-
lent condition anda liberal flow of rich
milk, with no immediate prospect that it
will be diverted to the churn, owing to the
poor return for butter. Those features
would seem to settle the question of quanti-
ty and quality, while the financial scare and
more or less appreciation of the situation
are cited as evidences that the producers
will offer their output as close to the hoop
as ordinary safety will admit. Briefly, an
era of low prices appears to be accepted as a
necessity, and the main question is how to
reach the working basis without inflicting
undue preponderance of distress upon any
one class of operators. It may be well in
this connection to again call attention of our
State and Western factory men to the im-
portance of carefully watching and taking
into account the situation in Canada, where
the production is not only alrendy showing
liberal and vigorous form, but is evidently
handled by operators bent upon pushing
their cheese into popularity. An exchange
from over the border, in reterrring to an
endorsement of quality by certain high au-
thority, says: “It stamps a preminm upon
Canadian cheese in all the markets of the
world, and we echo the sentiments of all
engaged in this great and growing trade
when we assert that there is no fear of the
laurels thus earned being ever transferred to
our competitors.” Extravagant in some
particulars as the above form of expression
may appear, however, it can well be excused
when backed by such remarkable figures as
shown in the exports from Canada in 1880-1
of 36,000,000 Ibs of cheese, and in 1884 of
65,400,000—nearly doubling in four years.
This result is largely due to the adoption of
our factory system; and if the quality pro-
vokes such rhapsodies as previously quoted,
it might be as well for many of our domes-
tie makers to act onthe oft-given hint and
allow a large quantity of cream to find its

way into the cheese vat.

Smaller Coins.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.

The rich city of New York is demanding
the coining of half-cents as a needed con-
venience in several trades and lines of busi-
ness. Toys, candies and innumerable small
articles are now sold in that city for less
thana cent,but there being no coin of
smaller value than ten mills, it is necessary
to purchase more than one perhaps really
wants. Pine for kindling is sold two bun-
dles for a cent; apples threeforacent. If
you want only one you cannot get it; you
must buy three times the amount you need,
and give or throw away what you do not
want.

The New York Sun, which made an
inspection of the shops, found a general de-
mand for a small coin, such asa half cent,
among both the shop-keepers and the pur-

  

age. The French centime is only one fifth
of one cent; the Portugues rei only one-
tenth, and the Chinese cash, or sen, of even
less value. It was evidently the intention
of the original framers of our currency that
we also should have a smaller coin than a
cent—the mill; but the mill is purely imag-
inary and has never been called into life on
account of the natural extravagance of the
American. It has been regarded hitherto as
mean and stingy to care for pennies, and it
is only of late years that the Enropean idea
of economy and thrift has invaded this coun-
try, and toit is due this new demand fora
half cent.

The cent itself has encountered great dif-
ficulty in making its way in many portions
of the Union. In the South, in some por-
tions of the West, and on the Pacific coast,
the man who wanted change for a picayune
was looked down on as picayunish and con-
temptible. The cent was introduced into
St. Louis just four years ago by a cheap
newspaper. This summer San Francisco
will do the same. In New Orleans, as we
know, we have not yet learned the thrift of
the North and West. Our smallest money
is five cents, and if bananas are worth a pic-
ayune a dozen it is impossible to buy less
than an entire dozen,in order perhaps to eat
a single one.

As one of our evening contemporaries sug-
gested afew days ago, the Exposition is a
good time to attempt to introduce the cent
here. It hasbeen tried a half a dozen times
already, but each attempt has been a fail-
ure. Thechances will be decidedly more
favorable than ever this winter. There will
be thousands of people down here with pen-
nies in their pockets, and who have been ac-
customed to their use and to the making of
correct change. An effoit made then would
very probably enable us to put in circulation
here this coin, which we all recognize would
be a great public convenience.

A Tobacco Man’s Will,

John Anderson, of New York made a for-
tune of some $10,000,000 out of tobacco, and
left itall in his family. Asa matter of
course, all the heirs were not satisfied, and
one of them, a grand child, now comes for-
ward to make an attack on his will, witha
view to turning in into waste paper. As
usual, the charges of fraud, deceit, undue in-
fluence, decayed mental condition, and so on
are made, and when the matter goes to trial
there will probably bea good deal of the
customary scandal. Anderson’s snuff and
tobacco store on Lower Broadway was at
one time a place of note in Gotham. Near-
ly all the celebrities of forty years ago fre-
quented it and contributed to the fortune
that “John Anderson, My Joe,” gradually
rolled up. Its chief notoriety, however,
arose from the mysterious - murder in Hobo-
ken of the ‘Pretty Cigar Girl,’ who attended
in it, and whose unusual beauty was its
leading attraction in the case of young men
about town. The murder caused great ex-
citement and was the talk of the whole
country for months. It happened nearly
forty years ago, when Hoboken was all op-
en country and the Elysian Fields, now van-
ished for aye, were the favorite rural resort
of New Yorkers. The perpetrator never
was discovered, nor any actual clue to his
motive. Thestory of the ‘Pretty Cigar
Girl’ was published in cheap, form soon af-
ter the murder and had a great sale.

 

The Benefits of Hard Times.
From the Boston Advertiser.

Experience teaches that this country al-
ways advances most rapidly in its wealth
when the business community complains
most, and when stock exchanges are dissat-
isfied. Nor is this a paradox or a mystery
Sellers feel best when prices go up. But
when prices go down goods are better dis-
tributed and real capital increases, because
diminishing dividends and incomes occas ion
economy, better management and greater at-
tention to busine#s. Periods of caution and
depression like the present, therefore, are
not necessarily an evil. On the contrary,
it is in times like these that far-sighted men
lay the foundation of a fortune and of a rep-
utation for sagacity, energy and courage. In
a certain sense, the country is in the» midst
of acrisis, both political and mercantile.
This crisis will be a benediction, if itinduces
the people to live economically, to labor
hard, to manage well, and to aim at what is
just, honorable and noblest. These are not
days fit for rest and recreation, but for toil,
courage, and true enterprise. The rewards
of business will go to him who works hard-
est, shrewdest and longest.”

Not all One Sided.

A Northern paper thus introdnces.a sub-
ject that is evidently making the dealers in
that locality no small amount of trouble:

Our merchants complain that they find
large quantities of salt in the bottom of
crocks of butter. Of course it is no honest
woman who does this, but we would suggest
to the parties who do follow this contempt-
ible practice that they ought not to charge
the merchants with swindling.

HEBREWS IN BUSINESS.

 

A Race Which Does a Large Portion of New
York’s Trade.

New York Letter to Boston Herald.

Considering the small number of Jews in
New York—only 60,000—in comparison
with the number of Christians, their success
in the business world is simply phenom-
inal. There are millions upon millions of
Jewish capital invested here in the whole-
sale trade. In fact, the business in many
lines of trade is nearly monopolized by Jew-
ish firms. I started from Union Square the
other morning and walked down Broadway
to Wall street, following the interesting oc-
cupation of some of my fellow-beings from
the country—namely, of reading signs. I
counted no less than 650 upon which Jewish
names were painted. These names repre-
sented almost every kind of wholesale and
jobbing trade located onthe great artery.
The millinery, clothing, hat, cap and fur
trade predominated. I also found many re-
tailers of Jewish nationality. lion block
I found only one Christian firm.

Turning Wall street, I found the same ev-
idences of Jewish prosperity, only in a les-
ser degree among bankers and brokers. Two
of the largest banking-houses in the country
—J.&J. W. Selgiman, and Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.—are distinctively Jewish. In the
Stock Exchange are the Henriques Bros.,
Wormser, Marx, and a host of others, all of
whom stand high, and wield an influence
among their fellow members, and carry
large accounts for their customers. In
Maiden Lane and John street, the center of
the wholesale and retail jewelry trade of the
country, the name of the Hebrew is found
right and left, above and below. A round
$5,000,000 of capital is employed by the
Jews in this trade alone, and with it they
transact fully 33 per cent. of the business
done in it.

West of Broadway, in Broome, Mercer,
White, Leonard, Greene, Grand, and other
streets comprising the great dry goods and
clothing districts, isa modern Jerusalem.
Seventy per cent. of the entire wholesale
clothing trade is done by Jews, who employ
a capital of $25,000,000. In clothiers’ trim-
mings the Jews have $10,000,000 invested.

Ninety-five per cent. of the ladies’ cloaks
and suits sole throughout the country come
from New York Hebrew houses, who annu-
ally turn and re-turn $50,000,000 of capital.
In the fur trade 50 per cent. of the firms are
Jewish, and the capital invested is $15,000,-
000. The Hebrew controls exclusively the
manufacture of caps, and on about 50 per
cent. of the hats made he figures his profits.
In the manufacture of silks and ribbons the
Jew is at home. His capital here amounts to
$25,000,000, and of the business in this line
of feminine apparel he transacts 60 per cent.
He is also active in the tobacco, sugar, and
wholesale liquor traffic, holding large in-
terests in each. Strange to say, the Jew is
never found in the retail liquor business.
“Gin-mills” and “gin-slinging”’ he gives the
grand go-by. There is not a bar, I am told,
in Gotham presided over by a Hebrew.

Elasticity of Leather Belts.
From the Scientific American.

One excellent, if not absolutely necessary,
quality ina belt is elasticity. Under some
circumstances a belt that is non-elastic and
only plidble will act, but it is not so useful
as a belt that combines elasticity and pliabil-
ity. A gut string used as a_ round belt
is not elastic—only pliable—and to do
effective duty it must be kept very tight,
making astrain on the bearings of the
spindles it connects. But a belt that is
greatly elastic will develop its full driving
power, even though it may run quite slack.
An amateur foot lathe of considerable capac-
ity can berun by an India rubber thong
with so slight atension as to allow the finger
to pass between it and the scored pully
without pain.

Much of the value of leather belts is due
to their elasticity; this, as well as their sub-
stance, aiding in their adherent contact with
the pulley face. By the term elasticity the
quality of stretch—permanent stretch—is
not intended. An ordinary bullock’s hide is
usually permanently stretched five inches be-
fore being cut up, but. the elasticity of the
belts made from itis not impaired. New
belts also have to be “taken up” usually
after running a short time. But there is an
elastic quality in a well fitted belt that is re-
cuperative; it will return on itself when the
temporary strain is removed. It follows,
then that the periodical release of belts from
their working strain is a reasonable prac-
tice.

A recent experiment appears to prove
this. As atest, a mechanic put new leather
belts on two iron turning lathes at the same
time. The lathes stood side by side, the
work on them was similiar, and the belts
cut fromthe same roll. The belt on one
lathe was thrown off every night, and that
on the other was never released. The lat-
ter was shortened four times during its life
while the other was taken up only once, and
when the continually strained belt was so
nearly worn out as to require repairs, the
nightly released belt was in excellent condi-
tion. ee

This treatment of belts is not always pos-

 

   

 

in such cases as where a long belt is run
with an idler pulley or tightener; but the
small ultimate belts that drive lathe cones,
drills, milling machines could be so treated
without trouble and with a resultant econ-

omy.

Business and Speculation.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.

People who have a legitimate business and
stick to it seem to be weathering the hard
times pretty well. Our list of “business
troubles,” which has grown unpleasantly
long of late, points the moral for specula-
tors. Many of the sufferers are those self-
styled bankers and brokers who are only
gamblers. Instead of playing at faro or
poker all day (it may constitute their diver-
sion at night) they take the hazards in rail-
road stocks, wheat, pork, whiskey, and pc-
troleum. The innocent public no longer furn-
ishing its quota of victims for these men,
they are cleaning out each other. ‘The soon-
er they all fail the better it will be for legit-
imate business. The most dangerous and
offensive types are the men who are called
“railroad kings” by their toadies and follow-
ers. Their gains are ill-gotten—the product
of years of trickery and fraud. If these
men should be obliged to bite the dust now
there would be no cause for regret. Their
tools and dupes would suffer as they deserve,
but the great honest business of the country
would be all the healthier for the removal of
these disturbing elements. The bubbles
must burst some time. The present time is
as good asany. The day of general liquid-
ation like the day of judgment is sure to
come. Woe to the men who are caught with
too much sail spread! They may not call
themselves speculators, and they would re-
sent the term we apply to them. But every
man is a speculator so far as he takes im-
prudent and needless risks in the hope
of greater gains than can be produced by
the cautious prosecution of some legitimate
business which he knows that he under-
stands. These are days when one kind of
business is enough for one man. The shoe-
maker whe sticks to his last does not figure
in our list of failures.

She Took the Lot.

Detroit Free Press,

“Do your women customers bother you
much?” asked a citizen who was _ talking
with a Woodward avenue grocer the other
morning.

“Well, they seldom want to pay the prices.
Itseems natural for them to want to beat
down the figures. There comes onenow
who probably wants strawberries. Here
are some fresh ones at 15 cents per quart,
and yet if I should ask her only 11 she’d
want ’em for 10.”

“Say, try iton, just fora joke.
asks the price put it at 11.”

The grocer agreed, and presently the
woman came up, counted the sixteen boxes
of berries under her nose, and, of course, in-
quired:

“Wave you any strawberries this morn-
ing?”

‘““Yes’m.”

“Fresh ones?”

“Yes’m.”

“In quart boxes?”’

“Yes’m.”

“How much?”

“Only 11 cents per box, madam.”

“T’]] take the whole lot,’’ she quietly ob-
served, as she handed out a $5 bill: and
take ’em she did.

The citizen disappeared at that moment,
and the grocer somehow believes that it was
a put up job-between the two.

Selling Eggs By Weight.

If she

 

American Agriculturist.

There is from twenty to thirty per cent.
difference in weight of eggs, yet the custom
is alwnost universal in the Eastern markets
of selling them by the dozen at a uniform
price. Even duck’s eggs, which are much
larger and regarded by some as much richer
bring no more than the smallest hens’ eggs
of not half the weight. In California, eggs,
fruits and many other articles that are here
sold by the dozen, the bunch or by measure,
are sold by weight. The practice is a good
one, and works beneficially for all parties,
especially for the producer. 1t operates as
a premium upon the cultivation of the most
productive varieties of fruits, vegetables and
farm stock. ‘The farmer who is painstaking
with his poultry and gets the largest weight
in eggs has a fair reward for his skill and
industry. The present custom is a premium
to light weight and good layers. We need
achange in the interest of fair dealing in
trade, and if necessary it should be enforced
by legislation. If the Legislature is compe-
tent to fix the weight of a bushel of corn or
potatoes it can easily regulate the weight ofa
dozen of eggs, and thus promote exact jus-
tice between buyer and seller.

ENORMOUS TIN DEPOSITS. |

 

Important Discoveries ofthe Mineral in |
the Black Hills.

From the New York Herald.

The aggregate consumption of tin is enor-
mous. Itis very easy to discover how
much is consumed in the United States, for
as all of it, comes from abroad, government
statistics are the sole source of information.
Last year we imported nearly 24,000,000
pounds of tinplate and other manufactures
of tin we received nearly 500,000,000 pounds
worth nearly $30,000,000. The great de-
mand has incited enterprising Americans for
years to search for tin deposits in this coun-
try, but until recently the ore does not seem
to have been found in paying quantities.

A number of prominent geologists have
recently examined the tin deposits of Geor-
gia, Dakota, and California, and a represen-
tative of the Herald has been so fortunate
as to encounter one of them on his way east.
This gentleman, Prof. G. E. Bailey—late
of the Chair of Analytical Chemistry in the
University of Nebraska, and now the geolo-
gist of Wyoming Territory and a member of
the American Institute of Mining Engineers
—willbe remembered in connection with
many government scientific expeditions in
the West; but he said he had gone to Har-
ney peak, which is the center of the Black
Hills tin district, merely to satisfy his per-
sonal curiosity which had been aroused by
stories as to the quantity and quality of the
ore. He satisfied himself that the tin-bear-
ing area is large, the deposits abundant, and
promising, if judiciously worked, to be a
great and steady source of supply and
profit.

“In what rock is the tin found?” asked
the reporter.

“Tn the granite region, The granite occu-
pies an area measuring twelve miles by sev-
en or eight, the principal mass being Harney
Peak ttself. The tin is found in the class
of rock called greisen. This greisen is quite
uniformily impregnated by the tin, the crys-
tals of ore varying in size,those about a quar-
ter of an inch in diameter being most abun-

dant.”’
“What is the nature or variety of the ore

itself.”

“Tt is oxide of tin, known as cassiterite.
The greisen rock is found all through the
granite yegion of Harney Peak. The

 

stream-tin is common, and distributed just
as gold is in the earth that results from the
decomposition of gold-bearing rock. It is
found in the dirt of all the streams—and
there are many of them flowing from the
Harney range on the east, west, and north
sides, and has long been known, although
not as tin, to the mineral sluicing for gold.
They have called it ‘black iron,’ ‘black
jack,’ ‘blende,’ but principally ‘that d d
stuff’—for it has been a great nuisance to
them, by being taken up so rapidly by the
amalgamators that these could not arrest the
gold. In the gold sluices it appears asa
heavy black mineral, in grains from the size
of peas to that of a hen’s egg, sometimes in
chunks weighing a pound or more. It is
found in the stream as far east as Harney
City, as far west as Hill City, and on the
north as far away as Sheridan; consequently
all the placers in the granite region are val-
uable for both tin and gold; the metals could
be obtained together by putting in bedrock
flumes.”

‘Has not tin been found in paying quanti-
ties anywhere else in the United States?”

“Tt has been reported in Georgia and Cali-
fornia. The former deposits I have not
seen. The California workings, which I vis-
ited, have been abandoned, I believe, partly
on account of the limited area in which the
mineral was found, and also because of con-
flicting old Spanish land-grants.”

“Do you believe the deposits in the Harn-
ey Peak region are extensive?”

“Yes. Geological reasons could be given
at length to show that the outlying granite,
being intrusive, extends to great depths,
while the area and distribution of the miner-
alized portions of the granite, taken in con-
nection with the known placer deposits, go
to show that there exist in the Harney Peak
region large quantities of tin so placed that
they can be economically and _ profitably
worked. It should be distinctly understood,
however, in this connection, that while the
discovery must be regarded of the utmost
value, not only to the Black Hills region but
United States, tin is not a poor man’s metal,
nor is a tin-mine a poor man’s mine. A tin-
mine requires extensive capital and exper-
ienced labor united with business-like man.
agement, and the works must be on a_ large

seale.”
“One question more, Professor.

ore easy to reach and work?”

“That is an important question, as the ex-
perience of many brilliant mineral ‘finds’
has proved. I can safely say, however, that
a great deal of the tin-bearing rock can be
easily obtained. It can be quarried from the
surface instead of being dug for and follow-
ed underground. How abundant this rock is
you may imagine when I tell you that I have
seen veins of it measuring more than fifty
feet in width. The rock can’ easily be
crushed, the ore concentrated, and the metal
worked into bars of pure tin. To extract the
stream-tin the process would resemble placer

 

Is the

 

     

 

ougher, the metal being in larger fragments

“How valuable is the ore or rock—what
will it assay!’

“Well, much better than that of Cornwall,
where the rock averages about two per cent.
of tin. The stream—that which must be ob
tained by sluicing or placer;work—will yield
about seventy-five per cent. of pure tin.”

“Then there are millions in it?”

“Certainly; if properly.worked, yes; but
it is not a business to rush into wildly.”

“How long will the Harney Peak deposits
last—-how long can they be counted upon to
supply the demand?”

“Oh, forever, practically. Why, the
stream-tin alone is so abundant that all the
companies that could possibly work it could
go on for twenty years without exhausting
it. Yet this is but the waste, you might say,
of the main deposit—the mere scraps that
water and frost have detached, a little at a
time, from the great mass and source of the
ore, which is Harney Peak itself, more than
a mile high, and the surrounding tin-bearing
rock which, as I have already said, extends
for miles. It is impossible to imagine this
great body of ore ever being exhausted. As
to profit, the richness of the ore, compared
with that of any other tin-bearing district in
the world, settles that question conclusively.
I have seen, I think, most of the specimens
of tin ore in prominent American cabinets of
minerals, but none were as rich as much of
the rock I saw in the Harney Peak region.”

A New Style of Bgot.

The German trade papers are much exer-
cised over a new form of boot that has been
submitted to the German government, with a
view to its adoption for army purposes. The
designer does not appear to be a shoemaker
by trade, or to have based the form of his
boot upon any of those in use in European
armies, but to have sought his model
amongst original races in various quarters of
the globe. He calls it a ‘“Kruzhandstiefel,”
or “wrapper-boot,” a name which has caused
a considerable amount of mystification in the
shoe trade. The material used in the new
boots are leather and coarse canvas, the lat-
ter, however, only being used in the upper.
The boot is made to fit closely to the Jeg, be-
ing rather higher than the ordinary spring-
side. Round the top it has a strip of leather
fitting closely to the leg, but the upper ap-
pears to consist exclusively of the canvas,
with strips of leather $sewn perpendicularly,
presumably for additional strength. The
golash seems to be close fitting, like an In-
dian moeassin, and the sole is said to allow
of perfect freedom to every joint of the foot,
its measurement being taken from a toot im-
pression. Briefly, the boot seems to be com-
parable to a mocassin, with a combination of
leather canvas upper, and with a sure me-
chanical fastening at the top, and having, in
addition, a sole and a low heel. That it
would prove comfortable in wear seems un-
questionable, the main doubt concerning it
being its durability, and its likelihood to hold
firmly on the leg. .

They were in the grocery store. Said
Brown (seeing a blind man about to enter) :
“Were you aware how delicate the touch of
a blind man is? when nature deprives us of
one sense she makes amends by bringing the
other senses to extraordinary acuteness. Let
me illustrate by this gentleman. Ill take a
scoop of sugar and let him feel of it, and
you see how quickly he’ll tell what it is.”
The blind man having entered, he was put
to the test. He put his thumb and finger
into the scoop, and without hesitation said:
“That is sand.” Everybody laughed but
the grocer. He made several. attempts at
blushing and then went into the back shop
and kicked his dog.

Coal is certainly cheap at the present rates
and it would seem a matter of policy to lay
in winter stores now. Theaccumulations at
the mines are large, and there is every pros-

There is a differance in opinion among
some newspapers as to whether it was Ven-
nor or Wiggins who died lately, but they
are all reconciled that it shall be either or
both.

 

The Northwestern Grocer, which was one
of the first trade papers to respond to a re-
quest for an exchange, has lately dropped
THe TRADESMAN from its list. However,
THE TRADESMAN can stand it,if the Grocer
can.

Col. Messmore is announced as the orator
at Kent City July 4. He will probably re-
ceive $25 and expenses. Here is an excel-
lent opportunity for some one of his numer-
ous creditors to garnishee the Financial Com-
mittee, and secure $25 of his claim. But
perhaps Messmore has already assigned
the amount to his wife!

 

Attention is called to the proposal set
forth in another column to organize a local
post of the Michigan Commercial Travelers’
Association. The project is in every way
worthy the consideration of every Knight of
the Road, and as the Grand Rapids boys are
neted everywhere for their enterprise and
perseverence, it is not unlikely that an or-
ganization of the kind will be effected.

 

The Gripsack Brigade.
W. J. Jones, of Kemink, Jones & Co., is

spending a week on the D., L. & N. Rail-
way.
Joe F. O. Reed, traveling representative

for H. Leonard & Sons, has gone to Cherokee,
Iowa, to visit his father, Rev. N. A. Reed.

Geo. B. Mather, late with C. S. Yale &
Bro., has returned to his former position as
local representative of the Corunna Coal Co.

Aaron Hufford, traveling representative
for G. A. Wrisley & Co., is spending a fort-
night here at home in search of rest and rec-
reation.

D. C. Underwood has two fine store build-
ings, situated on corner lots, on the main
street, at Elmira, which will be for sale or
rent about August 1.

W. H. Sharpnack, formerly traveler for
D. P. Clay & Co., has engaged in the lumber
commission business at Duluth and is re-
moving his family to that place.

Rey. J. T. Hankinson, formerly engaged
in the boot and shoe business at Kent City,
has engaged to travel for Cole & Stone, pro-
prietors of the Marshall Shirt Manufacturing

here to Mackinaw, and the C. & W. M.,from
Grand Rapids to LaPorte, Ind.

Silas K. Bolles, for five years past general
traveling representative for B. S. Tibbits, of
Coldwater, has engaged to represent J. W.
Coughtry & Co., the extensive cigar manu-
facturers at Cigarville, N. Y. His territory
includes Michigan, Indiana, Llinois and
Ohio, and comprises the jobbing trade only.
His headquarters will be Grand Rapids, as
in the past. '

Philo B. Newton, of the firm of Steele &
Newton, Advance, has engaged to travel for
Cody, Bail & Co., taking as his territory all
the towns from Morley to Walton Junction,
with frequent drives away from the railroad.
Mr. Newton is an old traveler, having car-
ried samples for Henry 8. Smith & Co., D.
YP. Clay, E. Plumb & Sons, and also Chicago

‘and Detroit houses. He will see his trade
every fortnight, and the division of Mr.
Haugh’s territory will enable the latter gen-

formerly and give those he does visit more
attention.

AMONG THE TRADE.

 

IN THE CITY.
A. Woodward has re-engaged in the gro-
cery business at Manton. Cody, Ball & Co.
furnished the stock.

G. R. Mayhew is building a fine residence
on South Prospect street, adjoining the home
of Amos. M. Musselman.

 

G. Rumsey has started a grocery store at
40 Fountain street. Shields, Bulkley &
Lemon furnished the stock.

Dan O’Reiley has engaged in the grocery
business on Wealthy avenue. Shields,
Bulkley & Lemon furnished the stock.

J. M. Howard, formerly of this city, has
engaged in the grocery business at Bay
View. John Caulfield furnished the stock.

J. G. Gatz, of this city, has invented a car
coupler, which precludes the necessity of ac-
cidents in coupling cars, as it is not neces-
sary for a man to go between the cars. He
has applied for a patent on the device.

 

The Grand Rapids Packing Co. has leased
the south set of storesin the new Gilbert
block, now in course of erection on Ottawa
street. The store onthe corner of Louis
street has been rented by the Diamond Wall
Finish Co. It is rumored that Arthur Meigs
& Co. will also occupy one of the central
stores.

Wm. H. Tuttle, receiver for Messmore
Bros., at Cadillac, has effected a sale of the
clothing stock to Gilbert Anderson, who
bought it in behalf of P. Medalic, at $7,105.
Storm & Hill, of Chicago, the attaching cred-
itors, havea judgment against the firm for
$5,600, which with the costs of the judg-
ment amounts to $6,200. Thus it will be
seen that after this amount and the expenses
attending the failure and subsequent litiga-
tion are paid, the unsecured creditors will
receive no percentage of their claims. A
shining example of the penchant the Mess-
mores}possess to swindle their creditors!

 

AROUND THE STATE.
C. F. Watson, the Belding merchant, is
dead.

new firm will be knowin as Sisson Bros.

Bickford & Starr, who engaged in the
grocery business at Harbor Springs about
two months ago, write THE TRADESMAN
that they are closing out their stock and will
retire from business.

The Hopkins Station correspondent of the
Allegan Gazette is responsible for the state-
ment that J. L. Davis will turn over his
stock of goods at that place July 1 to J. W.
Bragington and engage in the produce _busi-
ness in the fall.

J. O. Banks, of Whitehall, has retired
from the grocery business—a business in
which he should never have engaged. He
will hereafter devote his attention to boring
people by talking life insurance—a subject
which his§mind is incapable of grasping.

Black & Massey, the general dealers at Mc-
Brides, have finally collapsed, the stock hav-
ing been attached by a Detroit creditor.
The saw mill operated by the firm was leas-
ed. Massey has been drinking heavily of
late, and on Friday left the place for parts
unknown. The liabilities. which are held
almost entirely by Detroit parties, amount
to about $8,000, and the stock will probably
inventory about half that amount.

Pullman & Hinchman, the handle manu-
facturers at Shelby, who recently made an

liabilities and $5,930 appraised assets. A
large portion of the indebtedness is due to
the merchants of Shelby, on which the blow
falls with crushing force, and the employes
of the firm. It is not likely that creditors will
realize to exceed 20 per cent. The firm
should have thrown up the sponge at the
time of the boiler explosion in their mill
last fall.

THE KENDALL MATTER.

 

 

Report of the Assignee—Outrageous Legal
Cliaim.

Assignee Baker favors THE TRADESMAN
with a copy of his final report on the John
C. Kendall assignment matter, from which
it appears that the total amount of the
claims whose holders have filled the proper
proof is $16,873.11. Mr. Baker puts in a
claim for $1,279.92 as the expense attending
the proper prosecution of his trust, $400 of
which is for personal services as assignee.
It is within the knowledge of Tar TrADEs-
MAN that Mr. Baker performed the duties
involved in this case with singular fidelity
and scrupulous economy, and a claim of
$400 is none too high, when the amount of
work he accomplished and the amount of
money he saved the’creditors, are taken into
consideration. But the claim of $250, pre-
sented by Turner & Carroll, for retainer and
legal services, is unjust and extortionate, and
unless Judge Montgomery goes diametrically
opposite his usual course in such cases, he
will cut the claim down to a Seni
amount, or do as he did with the same firm
in the Newman matter, refuse to allow any
portion of their claim. There is an old
adage to the effect that no man can serve
two masters, and yet while in the pay of the
assignee, Carroll was employed by the
assignor to go to New York for the purpose
of effecting a compromise, which, however,
he was unable to accomplish. But this is
not all that can be laid at the door of this le-
gal firm. Furnished with a list of the credit-
ors in advance of all others, Turner & Carroll
wrote or telegraphed to each principal cred-
itor, soliciting their claims. Here we have
an anomaly seldom witnessed. A legal firm
representing the creditors, the assignor and
assignee in the same case—all at the same
time. And by the amount of the bill they
put it as counsel for the assignee it would
appear that they failed to secure any remun-
eration from either creditors or assignor, and
were bent on making the estate pay the
three bills under the guise of one.

DIRTY DUNLAP.

 

Something about His Record as a Liar and
Swindler,

W. A. Dunlap, the notorious, received
meager attention in the columns of THE
TRADESMAN last week, but since that time
facts have come to light that place him in
even worse light. It has been learned that
there is hardly a wholesale. house in this
city where he has not applied for credit or
is already owing bills that have been given
up as worthless. Not only does he possess
a penchant for swindling the men who
place reliance upon his promises to pay, but
he appears to have repeated falsehoods at
many places where the truth would have
answered a great deal better. Instead of
being “‘overseer and paymaster’ at the up-
per Canal street bridge, as he claimed, he
was only acommon laborer, and received
only ordinary wages. He was given em-
ployment by his brother-in-law, a Mr.
Wheaton, who was wholly unacquainted
with Dunlap’s true character, and who ex-
presses disgust at the manner in which Dun-
lap conducted himself. The lout attempted to
beat the Clarendon Hotel out of a board bill,
but the matter was adjusted by Mr. Whea-
ton. . He succeeded, however in beating the
Bridge Street House out of $12, and also ob-
tained a suit of clothes of Scott and Wil-
liams, by means of representations that
would put him behind the bars, if a prose-
cution for false pretenses were pressed
against him. He also endeavored to obtain
a carpet at Morgan & Avery’s, but the latter
gentlemen nipped his clever scheme in the
bud. He subsequently called for the carpet,
asked to be directed to a bank, and left with
a promise that he would return in afew
moments and pay the amount, but he never
returned. Numerous other instances of his
swindling propensities have come to light,
but enough have been stated to show that he
is one of the most untrustworthy men in the
country, and that the house that extends him
any credit will have the pleasure of charg-
ing the account up to profit and loss.

“Dunlap is one of the worst customers we
ever struck,” said Mr. Barlow, the veteran
book-keeper at Cappon, Bertsch & Co.’s. This
firm had an account against him for years,
and took every step possible to collect it,
without suzcess. Finally, in December, 1879,
we passed the amount, $34.62, to the profit
and loss account. ‘The claim is for sale at
any time at one cent on the dollar.”

“Dunlap came into my store several
months ago,” said Mr. S. A. Welling, ‘‘and
represented that he had put in a stock of dry
goods at Nashville and wished to sort up on
a few notions. I had never had any dealing
with the man, but he talked so well, and car-
ried himself so apparently square, that I sold
him a bill of $50 or $60 worth. The only
thing that arroused my suspicions was his
anxiety to get the goods off on the afternoon
express, but no sooner had the goods been
shipped than I began to be deluged with: in-
quiries from parties whom he had referred
tome. I couldn’t recommend the man, for I
knew nothing of his antecedents—except
that the firm of Dunlap & Stinchcomb, of
Sunfield, with whom he was formerly
identified, had always paid their bills prompt-
ly—and I immediately wrote him that if he
expected me to give a favorable answer to
the inquiries I received concerning him, he
must send me a statement without delay.
The letter evoked no response, nor was any
attention paid to a subsequent letter. I then
instructed one of my traveling men to look
into the matter when he went to Nashville,
and he telegraphed me that Dunlap’s stock
was in the hands of the sheriff. Inquiring
the amount of Eaton & Christenson’s bill,
who had sold the man partially on the
strength of my statements, I went down to
Nashville, and found the man in the midst
of a quarrel with his wife, who appears to
have objected toa certain lady friend that
Dunlap had perhaps been too intimate with.
So strenuous were her objections, and so firm
was the husband in refusing to desert his
newly-tormed friend, that she found it nec-
essary to invoke the aid of the law in sécur-
ing about $100 worth of the stock, which she
claimed was purchased with her money.
Dunlap talked all around the bush, and
whimpered like a puppy, butI told him that
I cared nothing for his family troubles—
that allI eared for was the amount of my
biil. He paid me $20, all the money he had,
and I then told him he must either pay the
remainder, secure the amount, or go back to
Grand Rapids with me. He spent an hour or
twoin the vain endeavor to borrow the mon-
ey, or mortgage the stock, and finally pro-
posed that I take a mortgage. This I agreed
to do, including Eaton & Christenson’s bill
in the amount, and two days later the mort-
gage was foreclosed, and the stock sold for
enough to pay us both nearly in full.

“T will say that I was never more disap-
pointed in a man in my life. He is a fine-
looking man, having the bearing of a
gentleman, and converses intelligently and
shrewdly. Unlike most beats, he does not
arouse suspicion by talking too much, mak-
ing too many promises, or ordering heavier
than is usual. He once struck me for a po-
sition as traveler, and I remember now that
I looked upon the application with favor, al-
though I had no position open at the time.”

 

SIZED HIM UP CORRECTLY.
From the Nashville News.

Tue MICHIGAN TRADESMAN, published
at Grand Rapids, writes up W. A. Dunlap,
who it will be remembered run a candy
store here last winter, as a thoroughbred
dead beat, which is about the size of the
opinion expressed by several other people.

DELINQUENT DEBTORRS.

“T predict that you will abandon the Delin-
quent Debtor list as impracticable before the
Ist of January,” said Mr. Arnott, of the retail
grocery firm of Arnott & Arnott, the other day.
“While it may be the means of effecting
some good, I am inclined to think that the evil
results of such publications overshadow the
good results. In looking over a list of poor or
worthless accounts, the reader is not made ac-
quainted with the circumstances surrounding
each individual case, although an intimate ac-
quaintance with the facts in each case might
occasion an entire change of feeling against
the persons named. Some of the menso re
ported are utterly unable to pay within any
specified time, but may come to the front in a
year, or two years, whenever fortune favors
them. Ifinthe meantime we have paraded
their names through a Dead Beat list, they
will cease to regard our account as an obliga-
tion, and the chances are ten to one against
our ever getting anything.”

 

Trent,

Dr. M. V. Sinz writes as follows:

Ihave lost thousands of dollars by giving
away to the smooth tongues of blacklegs, and
many times had it not been for the income of
the medical profession to patch up with, I
should have gone down. I have had my atten-
tion called to a number of young men who
started in business by listening to the wiles of
the credit class, and who went down—not as
“dishonest men,” but as “mistaken men.”? We
have several dead beats here—one of the
worst being a nursery man—who will receive
deserved ventilation unless they mend their
ways. With me, the credit business has come
to an end, as I have reached the conclusion
aptly expressed by one of your correspon-
dents, that if a man buys on 60 or 90 days time,
he can just as well buy for cash.

Drugs & Medicines

Firmness in Quinine.

From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

' For several weeks past some of the for-
eign makers of quinine have persistently re-
fused to fill orders for that article at the
quotations current in this market. The
sales of their brands have, therefore, been
mainly from outsiders who were willing to
meet the views of buyers, and the stock so
available has been steadily diminishing. It
has been believed by most of the trade that
the dullness prevailing here would tend to
overcome even the manifest firmness of the
foreign makers, and that the market would
not experience a decided advance until more
activity prevailed here. It is now evident
that the quinine market is approaching a cri-
sis, and that there must soon be a general
advance inthe alkaloid, ora break in the
cost of the bark. Advices from abroad,
where the controlling influences are now
centered, are somewhat contradictory, but
upon the whole seem favorable to the posi-
tion taken by the principal manufacturers.
The stock of bark is not large, nor is it be-
ing increased by the receipts from either
South America or the Indies, the supply
from the former source being greatly dimin-
ished. The holders of bark are believed to
be well supported in their present position
and the chances of their being forced to sac-
rifice stock or concede to lower views on the
part of buyers, are thought to be small.
Such at least is the view taken by some of
the best authorities abroad, though a con-
trary opinion is held by some makers who
are still inclined to regard the bark market
as higher than the relations of supply and
demand, and the financial strength of the
holders, would warrant. ‘There is, however,
no doubt that the sales of quinine during the
past two or three months have been alto-
gether more active abroad than they have
been here. This being the case, with the
clear view of the bark market
which their proximity to the principal hold-
ings affords them, it is evident that the for-
eign manufacturers have had reasonable
grounds for the firm position they have tak-
en, and it will not be surprising to see this
market follow the course they have appat-
ently marked out. The opposition of do-
mestie makers could doubtless prevent such
an advance, but so far as_ their sentiments
can be ascertained, they do not seem to re-
gard with disfavor advanced prices if they
can be maintained. In the present condi-
tien of trade no advance would probably
emanate from domestic manufacturers, al-
though they admit that the manufacture of
quinine is without profit at the current
prices, but we are led by late foreign advices
to look for such a strengthening of the posi-
tion abroad that a rise in this market would
seem to be among the early probabilities.

Oleomargarine Products.
From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

The business of supplying consumers with
oleomargarine butter continues uninterrupted
in this State notwithstanding the law pro-
hibiting its manufacture and sale on and af-
ter Juneist. The leading manufacturers
have entered into a mutual understanding to
test the constitutionality of the enactment,
by advice of counsel who have been retained
to fight their battle. No effort has been
made to enforce the law, and it would seem
that the Dairy Commissioner has-no ineclina-
tion to face the issue at present at least.
The legal arbitration of the prohibition
question is said to be delayed to enable the
natural butter dealers to lay their plans for
securing similiar laws in other States, and
at the same time, to allow the butter specu-
lators to get the upper hand in the season’s
make of natural butter. The dealers in
oils are interested in all movements relating
to this trade. The majority of manufactur-
ers here and elsewhere area unit in ac-
knowledging the necessity of fighting the
new law and have contributed towards the
payment of counsel for that purpose. The
law will be tested entirely upon its constitu-
tionality and not upon any question of pat-
ent or process. A similiar measure was
sustained by the courts of Missouri, but
there is a wide difference between Eastern
and Western justice. The ultimate end of
the agitation will be good, as it will clear
away alot of ignorant predjudice against
oleomargarine. The trade in artificial but-
ter has been greatly diminished owing to the
mass of dealers being afraid to handle it and
the cheapness of natural butter, which
proves a powerful factor in inducing retail-
ers to forsake the substitute.

The local trade in oleomargarine oil has
been stagnant for some time, principally on
account of the home manufacturers requir-
ing but light supplies tomeet their limited
wants. The market is well stocked with oii
the principal part of which is stored with
the hope of realizing better prices later on.
Exporters, however, are taking lower values
in sympathy with the expected decline in
the Dutch market, the present course of
which is very doubtful but tending down-

ward.
——

A Mighty Mean Man.

“The meanest man I have ever struck in
all my business experience,” said a well-
known druggist, is a customer whom I have
been furnishing with medicine for ten years,
and from whom I could never collect a cent.
The other day he sentabig basketful of
bottles to my office and wanted me to buy
them.” :

“Well, what harm was there in that?”
asked the reporter.

“Oh, none to speak of; only the bottles
were the same ones I had been furnishing

‘him with, for the ten years I trusted him.”

 

GROWTH OF THE CIGARETTE.

 

Facts and Fancies Connected with Its Man-
ufacture.

From the New York Tribune.

Whether the cigarette is the product of the
dude or the dude of the cigarette is an open
question. There has been a parallelism in
their growth and the cigarette is as much an
essential feature in the outfit of the dude as
the silver-headed cane, toothpick shoes or
cork-serew coat. While the cigarette is nec-
cessary to the dude, however, the dude is by
no means essential to the cigarette. The
latter has come into extremely extensive use
within the last few years, and is smoked in-
discriminately by: boys and old men, mer-
chants and clerks, bulls, bears, and lambs,
millionaires and laborers, and no inconsider-
able part of the 640,000,000 cigarettes manu-
factured last year was consumed by the fair

sex.
The cigarette of commerce is of recent or-

igin, the word cigarette only appearing in
the dictionery within the last six or seven
years. Fifteen years ago its use was confin-
ed almost entirely to afew foreigners. ‘Then
every cigarette smoker carried with him his
package of rice paper and bag of tobacco,
and a mahogany-colored thumb and fore-
finger weré his marks of distinction. A few
ready-made cigarettes were imported from
Cuba and Russia, but the trade in them was
unimportant. In 1868 the first cigarette fac-
tory begun operations in this city. Francis S.
Kinney was the pioneer in the industry, and
the Kinney Tobacco Co., of which he is pres-
ident, is still the largest cigarette manufac-
turing firm in New York. Four Russian
cigarette makers were imported and put to
work. The output of cigarettes for the first
year was 1,751,000. Fora while these men
had a monopoly of the industry, but in 1872
an effort was made to teach the trade to wo-
men. The workmen struck against the em-
ployment of female labor, but after a long
struggle were defeated and a large number
of women and girls were put under instruc-
tion and protected against violence. Ina
few months they were stwfliciently skillful to
make good cigarettes. Now the work is done
almost entirely by girls. The success of the
first factory was so great that a number of
others were established,and the cigarette soon
became as much an article of commerce as
the cigar. It has long ago outstripped the
pipe in popularity among smokers.
American cigarettes take a front rank in
the markets of the world, and the export
trade is large. There is not a civilized coun-
try on the globe to which they are not sent.
Orders have been received from Alaska, and
even the Turks enjoy the Virginia weed oc-
casionally. Several large shipments were
made to Constantinople recently. Ten years
ago an order for 10,000 cigarettes was consid-
ered an extremely large one; now it is not
unusual for an order for 1,000,000 to bé book-

 

 

ed, and some orders have been received for
as many as 4,000,000. The tobaccos chiefly
used in the manufactire of cigarettes are the
various trades of Virginia, Perique and
Turkish. The Virginia tobacco goes through
a long preparation before it reaches the cig-
arette maker. In the best cigarettes it
is never used until it is at least two
years old, the purpose in keeping it so long
being to insure uniformity in quality and to
enable the manufacturer to provide against
possible short crop. When the tobacco is
brought in from the farm it is taken into a
curing room, where it is thoroughly cured by
means of hot air. After the leaf has been
stripped from the stem it goes through a pro-
cess by which a large proportion of the nico-
tine is volatilized and dissipated. The to-
bacco is then packed away in hogsheads and
tierces and stored for two years. When the
time arrives for the tobacco to be cut up for
manufacture the leaves are treated so as to
make them pliable. Each manufacturer has
his own process for doing this, and it is one
of the secrets of the business which is care-
fully guarded. The mixture is then made.
A certain proportion of Turkish and Virgin-
ia is used for one brand, of Turkish and Per-
ique for another, Perique and Virginia or
either of the three by itself for others. Af-
ter the cutting machine has reduced the
leaves to tiny golden ribbons the tobacco is
put through another secret process, and when
it is ready to work up into cigarettes it has a
fresh and crisp appearance, but can be
handled readily without breaking or crumb-
ling. Thus prepared it is kept in a cool, dry
room until it is needed in the manufacturing
room. Each cigarette maker is given three
pounds of tobacco and 1,000 papers at a time,
and is expected to return 1,000 perfect cigar-
ettes. The rolling it done by hand and many
girls are able to roll from 3,500 to 4,000 cig-
arettes each day. As the cigarettes are roll-
ed they are dropped into a trough which
leads to a box under and back of, the table,
when they are received by the cutter, who
with a pair of scissors clips off the surplus
tobacco. When 1,000 cigarettes are complet-
ed they are taken by the cutters to the as-
sistant superintendent, who examines them,
rejecting all which are imperfect. They are
then sent to the packing room, where they
again undergo an examination. The pack-
pers put the cigarettes into bundles of ten or
twenty, and become so expert at this work
that they pick up the required number of
cigarettes without counting.

The rice paper in which the best cigarettes
are rolled is all imported from France. A
great deal of inferior paper comes from Ger-
many. Attempts have been made in this
country to manufacture fine rice paper, but
they have been unsuccessful. It is made

from the rice paper plant fatsia papyrifera,
and not, as is generally supposed, from the
American rice plant. It is when pure com-
posed entirely of cellulose, It forms 2-100
of 1 per cent. of the weight of: the tobacco,

 

that is, in 5,000 pounds of cigarettes there

 

 

 

 

will be one pound of paper. A peculiarity
of rice paper is that it makes no perceptible
smoke in burning and leaves no perceptible
ashes. ‘

The idea of making cigarettes by machin-
ery isas old asthe industry, and at least
150 cigarette-making machines have been
‘wholly successful. Only the poorer quality
of cigarettes can be made by machinery.
The tobacco has to be worked differently ac-
cording to the weather. The consequence
is that a machine which will make a perfect
cigarette on a damp day will be practically
useless on a dry day, and this isa difficulty
which has not yet been overcome. The
machines in use will make onan average
12,000 cigarettes a day.

New York is the chief cigarette making
center of the United States, and the output
of the factories here is more than one-half
that of the entire country. Next in order of
importance come Baltimore, Rochester and
Richmond. It is estimated that the output
in the country for 1883 reached at least 800,-
000,000. There are stilla few cigarettes
imported from Europe and Cuba, but these
sources of supply are comparatively insignitf-
icant and the importations are exceeded
greatly by the exportation.

German ingenuity has produced another
derivative from coal tar in the shape of an
explosive for mining purposes or firearms.
This resultant is a mixture or saltpeter,
chlorate of potash and a solid hydro-carbon
the latter being paraffin, asphaltum, or
pitch. The solid ingredients are powdered
and intimately mixed, and the mass is then
treated with a liquid volatile hydro-carbon,
such as benzine or gasoline, which dissolves
the solid hydro-carbon and forms the whole
into a plastic body. This cake is then roll-
ed into sheets and hardened by allowing the
liquid solvent to evaporate, the product be-
ing afterwards broken up in grains of any
desired size, like ordinary gunpowder. By
this method of dissolving the hydro-car-
bon before or after admixture with the salts,
the grains become ceated after drying with
a water proof surface or varnish. The new
compound is only an explosive when confin-
ed inaclose space. It possesses the same
density as gun-powder and is very hard. :

With the advent of hot weather the glue
manufactories of New England have shnt
down and will make no more glue until
next fall. The season now closed has been
a good one. The winter was not especially
favorable, but the spring has been uniform-
ly cool and there have been no such losses
as were entailed by the hot Sunday of May,
1883, when hundreds of barrels run to waste
in the cooling houses. The production for
the season of 1883-4 in New England has
been curtailed about 25 percent. There
has been no working on holidays or on over-
time. It has been aslow season for the
very proper reason that the consumption of
glues has owing to the depression of busi-
ness, fallen off nearly one-third and the
stock on hand is estimated to exceed that
held at this period for three years past.

A movement is on foot to establish a com-
pany in New York for the purpose of con-
structing and running tanks similiar to those
used for oil, for the storage of spirits of tur-
pentine. The capital of the company is fix-
ed at $100,000, and a large portion of that
amount has, itis said, already been sub-
scribed for by the naval stores trade. The
system of storing spirits in tanks, has been
in vogue in London for many years and
there is no reason why it should not work in
New York as it does there. It would no
doubt attract stock to this market,and would
not only be the means of saving a large
quantity of spirits, now lost by evaporation
and leakage, but greatly facilitate dealings
in forward deliveries, as the company pro-
pose to issue certificates for goods stored,
which would be used in the settlement of
contracts.

The Quinine and the Morphine.

One night after the drug store had been
closed and all was dark within, the Quinine
Bottle leaned over and whispered to tle Mor-
phine Jar:

“Say, let’s put up a job on the clerk.”

“How?”

“Why, you come over here and stand in
my place, and I’ll go there and stand in
yours.”

“Oh, no, 1 know your little game. You
think if you got in my place you’ll do all the
business. But you needn’t flatter yourself.
No drug clerk ever made the mistake of giv-
ing quinine for morphine.”

Gone Astray.
From the Merchants’ Review.

A department in THE MicHIGAN TRADES-
MAN—a scrumptious little paper, by the
way—is headed ‘Stray Facts.” Erom some
of our other contemporaries facts seem to be
always astray.

“No, sir,” said a hotel clerk to a commer-
cial traveler, ‘you can’t litter up this office
with your rough looking trunks.” ‘‘What’s
the matter with you?” replied the disgusted
traveler. ‘This, sir, ’d have you know, is
a four dollar house and—” What! four dol-
lars a week?” “No, sir, four dollars_.a day.”
“Oh—ah—excuse me. It’s quite remarka-
ble how much less one can see, than he can
discover by asking a few questions. Good-
bye.”

Tempted by Sharpers.

“Tt is a great wonder tome that the num-
ber of defaleations by treasurers of corpora-
tions is not larger than it is,’? observed a
treasurer of one of the Northern counties to
a reporter recently.

“Why?”

“Because they have so many temptations.
When I first took hold of the treasurship of
our county I was literally besieged with let-
ters, circulars and confidential communica-
tions from New York banking firms of
doubtful notoriety. ‘They came in every
mail. They were marked ‘private,’ ‘person-
al’ and all that sort of thing. They proved
to me—on paper, of course—how I could
easily double all my investments. They
showed that by putting my money up I was
absolutely certain to win, and that it was an
impossibility for me to lose. These commun-
ications were full of the most plausible
methods. The plans were captivating. The
results they worked out were astoundingly
big, and there was an air of frankness about
them which ordinarily would disabuse the
unsophisticated mind of any suspicion of
crookedness. For nearly two years these
things kept coming to my office, but as I
didn’t bite the hook they gradually fell off,
and now I get very few of them. But I do
know this to be the case—whenever a new
man is put in a place where he has other
people’s money to handle, those sharpers in
the big cities get after him with their circu-
lars and when they once catch him/they
don’t let go until they have either made a
thief or bankrupt of him, or both. That is
why I am surprised that the number of de-
faleations is not larger.”

The Georgia Melon Crop,
From the Atlanta Constitution.

The melon season, which wil] open soon,
promises to be of great interest in many re-
spects. Last year, when 8,000 carloads
were thrown upon the markets in the North
and West, much loss was caused by bad
shipments and poor selection of a market.
The melon-growers have this year formed a
pool, and engaged Mr. Davis, of Albany, as
their agent, who will make Atlanta his head-
quarters for the entire business. Agencies
have been established in 249 cities of the
Northwest, containing a population of over
5,000,000 people. The distribution of melons
will be so arranged that not a carload will
leave Atlanta until a market has been found
for it. Last year’s mistake was in sending
melons North too early, before hot weather
had set in. This season the first shipments
will be made to Southern points only. The
business has now reached proportions which
gives it a leading place in the industries of
the South. Lands in the melon region have
advanced greatly in price.

A St. Louis girl hasrun away from home
because the man they were trying to compel
her to marry, would not smoke a certain
brand of cigars. The girl has behaved quite
properly. She could never have been hap-
py with a husband, who would not oblige in
so small a matter as the kind of cigars he
used. Such a man would have been sure to
insist upon selecting his own clothing with
the certain consequence of making his wife
miserable and offending her taste by the cut
of his trousers and the color of his cravat.
He would be particular about his meals, and
would have been always raising a row con-
cerning the coffee and the butter. This girl,
by making herself scarce, has undoubtedly
escaped a life of unhappiness.

A Wife’s Queer Advice.

A wife whose husband would not go to
the seashore this summer advised him to
stand on his head the other day.

“Why should I do that?” he asked.

“Perhaps you might havea rush of brains
to the head,” was the withering reply.

Lace-Making Slaves.

A report of M. Scalquin, a member of the
school commission of inquiry on the schools
of lace-makers in which young girls are em-
ployed, has just appeared, and makes most
painful revelations of the manner in which
these schools are conducted. In the prov-
ince of East Flanders there were in 1840
only eighty-four Ecoles Dentellieres; now
there are more than 300. They mostly be-
long to different religious communities, such
as the Apostolines, the Maricoles, the Col-
lectines, the Sceurs de Marie, and Sceurs de
Charite. The age of admission is as low as
five or six years. In many of the schools
they are taught nothing except to work. In
some an hour, in some less is devoted to
reading and writing. Besides this there is
nothing but the catechism, the litany, and
the loom. Whatis much more serious is the
time they are kept at school. In general
the gates open at 5:30 in summer, and at 7
in winter, and the children are kept at work
until 8:30 in summer and until eight in
winter. The regulations issued by the
bishop of Bruges fix the school hours from 6
o’clock in the morning until six in the even-
ing, but these limits of time are seldom ob-
served, and nearly always exceeded. The
effects on the health of those so employed
cannot be otherwise than most injurious.
From continually stooping over their work
the girls, especially those who begin very
young, contract deformities; this attitude,
combined with the use of chaufferettes (foot-
stoves), make them subject to chest com-
plaints, and nearly all those who begin early
become short-sighted from having to keep
their work close to their eyes.

This is not all. The unfortunate creatures
who ruin their health, and work without in-
termission, are miserable paid. A portion,
estimated at 20 per cent. of their wages, is
retained by the nuns, who pay the young
children as little as they like, and this has
been a frequent subject of complaint from
the parents. A nun who had been connected
with one of these schools is quoted as hav
ing acknowledged that clever and experienc-
ed workwomen who continued to go to the
school could not, by working fifteen hours a
day, earn more that 1 franc 50 centimes or
2 franes a day, of these there might be four
or five toa hundred who earned merely a
trifle. A child is mentioned who, after two
months, took home 30 centimes as _ her
wages, or at the rate of one-half centime a
day. Another, twelve years old, had for
three years’ work, received 5 francs, or less
than 1 centime a day. Their earnings went
to the convent, and what the convents had
gained from the work of these poor girls
must amount annually to a very large sum,
which there is no means of calculating.

BUSINESS LAW.

 

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 

Pledging Credit.
A book-keeper, by reason of his employ-
ment, has not the implied power to bind the
credit of his employer for the benefit of a
third party.—Supreme Court of Michigan.

 

Life Insurance—Payment of. Dues.

A stipulation to pay dues under a life in-
surance policy promptly on a day mentioned
in the policy is not waived by failure to give
notice of the time when Such dues become
payable, and a custom to receive payment of
dues after the time fixed when made by
postal order or drafts post dated is not a
waiver of payment on the day when due.—
Supreme Court of Iowa.

 

Boundary—Trespass.

If two adjacent or conterminous proprie-
tors agree upon and establish a dividing line
between their premises, and actually claim
and occupy the land on each side of that
line continuously for over twenty years, such
possession will be adverse and confer a title
by prescription.—Supreme Court of Wiscon-
n.

mM
_

Improvement—Public Benefit.

It is not necessary, in order that a use
may be regarded as public, that the whole
community or any large portion thereof par-
ticipate in it. If an improvement be of pub-
lic benefit, the fact that some members of
the community may be specially benefited by
it above others will not deprive it of its pub-
lic character. So held by the Supreme
Court of Indiana in the recently decided case
of Ross et. al. vs. Davis et. al.

 

Partnership Privilege.

A partner has authority to bind the firm in
all matters pertaining to the partnership bus-
iness. But it is not properly partnership
business to release indebtedness due to it in
consideration of the release of indebtedness
due to its debtor from one of its members.
Where a co-partnership member is indebted
to a person owing the firm he cannot apply
the indebtedness due the firm for the pur-
pose of canceling his indebtedness, nor can
he apply the funds or property of the firm
for such purpose without consent of his co-
partner, or at least his subsequent ratifica-
tion.—Thomas vs. Stetson, Supreme Court
of Lowa.

A Revelation.
From the Baltimore Trade.
It has long been a wonder how people
would use such large quantities of soaked
or winter packed goods; some persons have
thought they were taken by the ignorant
public, under the impression that they were
green goods, but it seems that the public, at
least some of the western retail grocers
have learned by experience their intrinsic
value. Ithas for a long time been the
practice in the western cities to give custom-
ers a present of some sort to attract and re-
tain trade. Every child aud darkey expects
their candy even with their smallest pur-
chase. But of late the shrewder grocers of
the larger cities are saving their candy, and
using soaked canned goads as a ‘Sop to Cer-
berus” on Saturday night. As this practice
grows there will be an immense increase in
the demand for soaked goods, and can
makers will revel in wealth.

An American Fable.
A big, red-faced Nothing was strolling
along the street when a Deputy sheriff slap-
ped him on the shoulder.

“Youw’re just the chap I am looking for.”

“What do you want of me? I’ve done no
evil.”

“Never mind; come right along.”

“But I never stole anything.”

“T know it.”

“T never broke a law.”

“Of course not.’’

“Then what on earth can a sheriff want
with me?”

“You're a Nothing, aren’t you?”

“Yes sir.”

“Don’t know anything?”

“Not a thing.”

“Don’t want to know anything?”

“Not a cussed thing.”

“T thought so.”

“Well?”

“Well we want you for a juror.”

Where the Honor Lies.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.

“Cincinnati can claim one more honor,’’
said Dr. T. C. Minor, yesterday. ‘‘All this
extensive canned goods business was origin-
ated by some Cincinnati fellows who visited
Pompeii and in the ruins found some fruit
which had been hermetically sealed, and
was still good after a thousand years. They
came back to America and started the busi-
ness with big results. This was the ‘ren-
aissance,’ so to speak, of the canned fruit
process.”

THE GROCERY TRADE.

 

 

 

Whata Leading Wholesale Grocer Has to
Say of the Situation.

“What have you to sayin regard to the
business situation?’ asked a reporter of a
leading grocery jobber the other day.

“In the grocery trade I can tell you it is
in rather a peculiar condition. For the past
six or eight months we have been having a
dull season throughout the whole country.
Industry has been interrupted; trade poor,
and enterprise generally lacking in all
branches of business. I do[n _ pretend
to say just what the cause of all this trouble
is. It may be overproduction, or it may be
something else; perhaps lack of confidence
or timidity among the capitalists generally.
Whatever the cause is, however, we know on-
ly too well the result. There has been a
shrinkage in prices of all or nearly all the
leading commodities in our trade that could
not fail to cause great losses to large hold-
ers. This decline has been going on until
at the present time it would seem as if we
had touched a bottom, below which it was
impossible to go. Letme give you afew
figures to show you what the decline has
been. To-day the refiners’ price for granu-
lated sugar is exactly two cents a pound less
than it was a year ago. Yellow sugar is al-
so two cents lower than last year. Molas-
ses sells for twenty-five per cent. less than
it did a year ago. and the price of canned
goods has declined to the same _ extent.
Flour sells for from $1 to $1.50 per barrel
Jess than it did a year ago, and only the ar-
ticles of tea and coffee seem to hold their
own. Outside these there has been a gen-
eral shrinkage. Then the demand has fall-
en off largely, though perhaps not to the ex-
tent that returns for sales would indicate,
but there has been a falling off in this di-
rection.

“People have not the ability to consume
that they had when times were better, eh?”

“That is not it exactly, for even though
they may not have so much money to spend,
you must remember that what money they
have has from 25 to 30 per cent. more pur-
chasing power to-day than it had a year ago
to-day. This is true in other articles of use
than groceries. Take, for example, the ar-
ticle of ready-made 2zlothing. A man can
to-day geta goed working suit for $10,
which a year ago would have cost him $15
at least. There are still other things which
are also relatively cheaper to-day than they
were a year ago.”

‘You may say that the shrinkage in prices
of canned goods has been 25 per cent.
Would not that represent more than the
profit on such goods with last year’s
prices?”

‘Far more, indeed. Why the profit of
the wholesale trade on canned goods is but
microscopical at best. The retail trade
makes the largest profit on them, but not 25
per cent. Youcan easily figure then, that
large and persistant holders of canned goods
must have lost heavily on them, as indeed
they have lost on many other articles held in
stock.”

“Isthe retail trade well stocked with
goods?”

‘No the retailers have no stock on hand to
speak of. They have been afraid to stock
up on a declining market, but have been buy-
ing for the past six months only to meet ac-
tual demands. And even now, when prices
have gone far below the zero of actual cost
of production in many if not most articles in
our trade, they seem afraid to stock up.”

“What are the prospects of the trade? The
outlook?”

“Tt is not easy to guess. Things are now
on so even a balance for the turning of prices
upward, with an active demand, that there is
no telling what a day may bring forth. I am
inclined, however, to think we may pass
through the usual summer season of dull
trade before the turn will come. Still there
is no telling what may happen before the
first of September. Then we may look for
it, for people usually return from the sum-
mer vacation ready to go to work and make
things lively.”

“What do you consider the wisest course
to pursue now?”

“T would simply hint to the retail trade
that they go slow, but keep asharp watch
for the time to stock up is when goods are
selling below cost. ‘The holders of consider-
able stocks, when the revival boom comes,
will find they have made a very profitable
investment. When prices do take an up-
ward turn, they will go back to a normal
standard in a very short time.”

Lilliputian Cigars,
From the Hillsdale Standard.

We were shown a curiosity in the cigar-
making business the other day. Isadore
Cohn, foreman in M. Cohn’s cigar factory,
his made fifty perfect cigars, filler, wrap-
per and all of so diminutive size that they
are easily held in the half ofa hazel nut
shell. By the aid of a microscope, the
wrapper can be followed, but not with the
naked eye.

;

It is calculated that a stoppage of manu-
facture and output of goods for sixty days
in the knit goods trade, in accordance with
a proposition recently sent out to the manu-
facturers throughout the country, would re-
lieve the market of 450,000 dozens of goods.

Opening Up of Another Timber Tract.
Messrs. N. Slaght & Co., of Greenville,
who have 138,000 acres of fine timber land on
the headwaters of Pine River, in Lake
county, have concluded to begin operations
this season, with a view to getting the prod-
uct on the market early next spring, and
have accordingly contracted with Wm. F.
Stuart, of Sand Lake, to remove his shingle
mill from that place toa point eight miles
west of Tustin, which work has already
been begun. Mr. Stuart will also erect an-
other shingle mill in the fall, and two more
in the spring, each mill to have a capacity of
45,000 perday. A saw mill will be in op-
eration by winter, and will have a daily ca-
pacity of 40,000 feet. The firm estimate that
the tract contains 150,000,000 of shingle
timber, three-fourths of which will run to
stars. The hemlock and hardwood timber
bordering the stream is estimated at 50,000,-
000 feet. The product of both mills will be
piled up until spring, when the firm pro-
pose to put in an eight mile spur track, nar-
row guage, striking the G. R. & I. Railroad
about midway between Tustin and Hobart.
As it will take from five to eight years to
cut all of the timber on the tract, {the opera-
tions in that vicinity are likely to bring
about many changes in the business situa-
tion of the towns roundabout.

Business Methods of the West Michigan
Lumber Co.

The West Michigan Lumber Co., which
has been in existence about four years, now
operates three mills—one at Woodville, with
a daily sawing capacity of 60,000 feet, one of
equal capacity at Diamond Lake, and one at
Park City, which cuts 50,000 feet daily. A
shingle mill is operated in connection with
each saw mill, the combined daily capacity
being 160,000 shingles. Lath and pickets
are also manufactured at each mill, and a
machine shop;is operated at Woodville. The
average pay roll at Woodville registers 200
names, at Diamond Lake about the same
number, and at Park City about 125, making
a total force of 525 men, not including the
workmen in the lumber camps, when the lat-
ter are in operation. Well-stocked general
stores are run at each of the three points
named. ‘The corporation also attends to the
spiritual and educational wants of their em-
ploys by maintaining regular preaching at
Woodville and Diamond Lake and encourag-
ing day schools at all three places. The
company goes a step farther by refusing to
allow any saloon to exist on land owned by
the corporation. Every employe is paid in
full, in cash, on the 10th of each month. It
is estimated that the mill at Woodville is yet
tributary to a seven years’ cut.

ALABASTINE!

 

 

ERE

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, 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 aj ap-
plied by any one. }
