' Of all the local productions, perhaps none , have been more favorably received than what ‘are known as French prunes. The crop of _ this fruit in California is as yet quite limited, | but each year new trees are coming into bear- | ing condition, and the best methods of pre- | paring the fruit for market are becoming | better known. Producers in Santa Clara | county thus far have given more attention to ' the cultivation of the prune than those in any other portion of the State, and in both quan- tity and quality this section is pre-eminently in the lead. Producers in other counties are planting more prune trees now than in form- er years, and may be able to demonstrate their ability to compete successfully. The Sonoma and Napa valleys, both great fruit producing sections, have numerous young prune orchards, which bid fair to give good returns. From portions of Santa Cruz county, and in Alameda and Solano counties, we learn also of promising endeavors in this i direction. Experience has shown that it is i difficult to define the portions of the State suited to the production of many. varieties of fruit, for the reason that they appear to thrive ‘in almost all seetions where thorough exper- |iments are made. This may also be true with the prune. Already what is known as ' the California French prune has attracted ' considerable:attention in the markets of the ‘Kast. A prominent fruit house in Chicago— probably one of the largest in the country— ‘recently informed the writer that the Cali- . fornia fruit, if properly prepared, would find | almost unlimited sale in that market, and | command prices above those obtainable for | the imported fruit. ‘This statement is based | on experience. Itis claimed that the Cali- fornia prune has a richness and flavor which | make it greatly preferred by consumers in that market. Thus far, local demand has ‘taken most of the product in this State, and | few, if any, prunes have been prepared and | put up especially for the Eastern markets. , This preparation must, however, come as the | yield increases, and then the rule followed | by the French producers must be observed. | As to the quality of the loeal product, there ‘is no longer any doubt, but, as a rule, little : thought has been given to packing so as_ to obtain the best pecuniary results. Imported , prunes have a market value largely regulated | by size, hence they are carefully graded before packing, and the largest and finest fruit gen- 4 ' rn ordinary quality is sold for much less. he necessity for this care may not be apparent to packers of the California fruit now, but the day is likely to come, and those who first gain the reputation for careful grading will be likely to secure a permanent advantage over their less careful competitors. The prunes we have examined this year are ex- | ceptionally fine, and such as the producers of this State may justly be proud of. This branch of industry is worthy of the atten- tion of all fruit growers, for California is un- questionably capable of furnishing thous- ands of tons, instead of a few hundred tons ; annually. Ladies Who Smoke Cigarettes. Any society man ean testify that cigarette smoking -is becoming alarmingly common among the ladies of his acquaintance, says the New York Morning Journal. It is the customary thing now in the most fashionable e‘'reles for ladiés to smoke cigarettes, “just for fun,” if a stranger is about, their at the business. The ladies smoke in the morning in their boudoirs and while calling on each other. Some of them are skillful in rolling cigarettes and carry exquisitely de- signed and chased cigarette cases, holders, ete. A good many well-known actresses are addicted to cigarette smoking, especially those of foreign birth. Nearly all the opera- bouffe artists smoke cigarettes. The names | of several prominent actresses could be given who are habitual cigarette smokers, but as they deny the practice in public, it would | probably be unfair to put them to trouble by a public mention of the fact. It is notor- ious that it is customary for the more fash- ‘ionable milliners to serve their customers with liquors, and so it is also customary for them to supplement the dish with a cigarette. Not long since the young wife of a prom- inent society man was sent home in a car- riage from a fashionable midiste’s very ill, but the family physician discovered it was the effects of the “first smoke.” Recently at several ladies’ lunch parties at | Delmonico’s, cigarettes have been called for ' and smoked clandestinely in the waiter’s ab- i sence. | ported, and is one of the results of foreign 'travel.

' A large uptown dealer says that there is At’ purchas- | ing them for their husbands or brothers, but. | / as much smoking among the ladies as among | the boys. The ladies avoid soiling their fingers by using cigarette holders, which, if -they have not one, they improvise out of i‘ hair-pias. ‘The ladies are much more grace- ful sinokers than the men, and, holding the a cigarette. Some men like to see a lady smoking, but they probably would not like to see their wives indulging in a cigarette. Growth of the Clock Industry. | self the task of making 200 clocks. People declared him erazy, and said that, even if he lived to complete the task, he never could sellsomany. Chauncy Jerome, a pupil of Terry’s, is the father of the Connecticut clock industry. ‘Terry laboriously made his clocks all of wood, with a saw and jack- knife. He sold the clocks in New York at $25, without cases. Ina few years he sold out to Seth Thomas and Silas Hoadly, for- /merly employes. In 1814 Terry made _ his first shelf-clock. About that time Chauncy Jerome began, although an aged friend tried to discourage him, because the country was ‘ already flooded with clocks. In 1825, how- ' ever, he was selling his clocks all over the country, and last year the company of which he was the founder sold over 2,000,- ; 000 clocks, which are sent to all parts of the world. In 1807 Eli Terry, of Plymouth, set him- | | i ' \ | | i | j | ‘ | Closing on Holidays. From the Commercial Enquirer. The grocer’s life is not one of ease and luxury. His path is by no means strewn with roses. Itis up early and down late with him, and we sometimes doubt whether his reward is as great as his labors deserve. In exceptional instances he attains compara- tive wealth, but in the majority of cases a fair livelihood is the utmost limit of his hope. No man has less time for recreation. His clerks have their evenings off, but his pres- ence is needed in the store at all hours. When he gets a chance to take a holiday he ought surely to avail himself of it. It is easy enough to do so without inconveniencing any of his customers, anda short spell of rest and amusement will do him good. He will feel all the more like buckling to work again the following day. To those who are desirous af availing themselves of national holidays, but fear to do lest they may lose business thereby, we would suggsst that they buy some large printed bills, a few days beforehand, and put them in conspicuous places around their stores. on the approaching holiday, they will close their place at 10 A. M., or at mid-day, accord- ing to their own inclinations. 1t might also be well to call customers’ attention to these signs. If these things be done no one can complain, and if any customer be inconveni- enced he has no one but himself to blame. By all means treat yourselves and your clerks to a holiday as often as the occasion offers. You will feel the good effects of a temporary release from business cares. ee ee Adulterations. From the Mercantile Review. It sometimes becomes a good deal of a question as to what is adulteration. The old woman who returned the pound of gin- ger complaining that it was too strong and must have been ‘‘adulterated” with cayenne pepper didn’t understand the first principles of finance. She never would succeed as a compounder of ‘pure spices” The temper- ance argument against ‘fine liquors, that they are adulterated with drugs, is a weak one, in a sanitary point of view, because it is capable of argument that the purer the whis- ky is the worse it is, on the ground that alco- hol is the worst of all poisons; and adultera- tion which leaves out the alcohol and substi- tutes henbane is an improvement. Ii this is valid, that teamster from the classic town of Almagoozlem, in the Pennylvania oil region, was a “little off’? when he went for a barrel of alleged whisky and cautioned the whole- sale dealer “ not to put any adultery into it.” He was in fact mistaken in more than one way. It was ashrewd old soker who al- ways ordered his drink as the Irishman did his boots (‘The largest pair yez have for the money”) and took the cheapest whisky he could get. So there may be method in the madness of those customers who always buy the cheapest groceries, and in the practice of the jobbers who always order the cheapest goods, regardless. The former probably want to get out of the world as soon as they ‘ean, and the amiable dealer wants to help them in the interest of humanity. The argument all around seems to be that the quicker the cheap goods and their con- sumers are worked off (as Hugh, the execu- tioner, used to say) the better for the world. | Even adulteration has its uses. Brazil Coffee. A cotfee merehant said to a reporter re- | cently that the coffee of Brazil was driving the coffee from other places out of the mar- ket. “The coffee of Ecuador being of a peculiar kind,” said he, ‘twill almost always command a good market and a good price, but it is about the only kind that has not been hurt by the large exportation of Brazil. The navigation of the Amazon being now open to within a comparatively short distance of Quito, additional facilities are aftorded for the exportation of the coffee of Eeua- dor. The coffee of Venezuela used to com- mand a high price here but when Brazil be- gan to send out coffee in such large quanti- | ties and the price went down, the merchants of Maracaibo refused to come down , thinking that the Maracaibo berry would hold its own. They were, to use a graphic slang expres- sion, “left,” and the coffee trade of Venzuela has much decreased. — [t is wonderful what an amount of coffee Brazil sends out. think no one has any idea of the immense amount that there is in that country.” “Ts not coffee still imported from Mocha | and Java?” “Oh, yes, but much of what is sold) for Mocha is a fine grade of Brazilian. L think that as good coffee ean be got from Brazil as from anywhere in the world. There are a great. many who would not agree with me in that statement, however.” Adventures of a Couple of Invoices. The British Trade Journal tells a good story of a firm of shoe manufactures who do | an export trade. It appears that an export merchant gave them an order of considerable with the understanding that two invoices were to be supplied, one of which was to set | out that the goods were charged at a much lower price than was really the case. ‘This was for the purpose of defrauding the rev- enues of the colony in question by as much as would be represented by the difference in the ad valoren duty. The firm of shoe man- ufacturers before alluded to having consent- cigarette daintily between the lips, never wet | ed to this procedure, the two documents were the paper, which is the proper way to smoke | sent, the nominal price in one case being 25 per cent. below the real one sent out in the other. By some mischance, however, the shippers sent away the wrong—or rather the right—invoice, aud were, therefore, mulcted in the full and proper import duty; but to square this loss they forwarded a cheek to the manufacturers for the amount stated on the lower-priced invoice, thus leaying the firm in question but two alternatives: either to accept the check, although it did not cov- er the cost of the goods, or to go to law and expose their share in an attempted piece of sharp practice. A mistake of this sort is not likely to occur again. It is said that glass is gradually beginning to take the place of wood and iron in the construction of bridges in England. ‘The in- ventor makes blocks of glass which he hard- ens by a special process. In solidity it is said to leave nothing to be desired. The ex- periments already made have given surpris- ing results, and the cost is below that of bridges of wood or iron. Moreover, the glass cannot be injured by insects like wood, nor rusted like iron. They can thus warn customers that, ' | Manufacture of Date Sugar in Bengal.

The Latest Feminine Freak. From the Shoe and Leather Review. The shoe manufacturers now complain of a new skirt or bustle contrivance for femi- nine wear, which is provided with steel springs around the bottom.

They are willing enough to have the shoes wear out, but the iron en- ters their soul, so to speak, when the shoes so cut through are returned as inferior quali- ty and new ones demanded ‘There is some talk of organizing an expedition for the capture of one of the feminine wearers of these contrivances so that a thorough in- vestigation can be made. ‘The report of ‘of an iron-clad shoe.

GROCERIES. There isno denying the fact that the! wholesale grocery trade is quieter than it’ has been for some time. Nearly every | jobber characterizes it as “dull,” but one house has the temerity to state that business is “fair.” None,however, are troubled to fill all orders promptly. The cause of the depres- sion is attributed to the conservative feeiing that has lately taken possession of retail dealers to keep their stocks as near down to hardpan as possible, and buy only when ac- tually compelled to do so. This condition of affairs augurs well for the future, and be- speaks an almost unprecedented business rush whenever the cloud that now obscures DRUGS.

Shabby Treatment of Workmen. Several incidents have come to the sur- Lowyer & Co. failed that set the firm in a bad light. Particular- ly is this the case in their treatment of their! workingmen. ‘The latter were given the privilege of purchasing anything they de- sired—at almost extortionate prices—at the general store at Leroy, but whenever settle-' ment was made they were invariably paid off with the firm’s checks, which they were unable to get cashed except at the banks at Reed City and Cadillac, and in both cases then only ata discount of 10 per cent. As the checks were drawnon a Kalamazoo bank, and were invariably paid up to a short time before the assignment, it would look to an outsider as though there was con- certed action between the firm and other in- terested parties, with a view to “whacking up” on the proceeds of a fund wrenched from laborers who had been previously im- posed upon in every possible manner.

For the past two days it has been industriously trying to get at a true understanding of the undercurrent, and from | all it has been able to learn from the most reliable sources, it believes that the financial not more than one or two concerns, at the most, and they small ones, will follow in its wake. The danger may possibly be averted even from these. There wasa fear that money holders were drawing the lines of credit too rigidly, but the banks claim that such is not the ease. The bankers say that from the start they have held up all who have any foundation to work upon, are still doing so, and will continue to do it. The large and old firms are in no wise affected, and it is claimed not even interested. The trouble has come from accommodation paper.

At the height of and the men who believed them made arush for pine, the price they paid for it being a secondary consideration. Some of the men who have failed have high priced land on their hands. The boom subsided, pine lands became dull, coarse stock declined, and a swapping of paper,in order that the swappers might swim a little longer, brought about the inevitable result. There is nothing in these failures that bodes disaster to the lumber dealers and manufacturers at large. Already there is a more confident feeling throughout central Michigan. Men who run their business on hope instead of money may drop out, but the lumber business as a whole is carried on solid shoulders. A Commercial Interview. | From the Boston Commercial Bullentin. “Good morning, sir.” These words were uttered in an emphatic style by a rather short man with a red face, large hat, gold-headed cane, and shirt-front ornamented with a single big diamond, as | 'he entered the Commercial Bulletin sanc- tum the other day, having suecessfully pass- ed the outposts and guards against intruders. “Good morning, sir,’ said the commercial editor, stopping in the midst of an article on “T, sir,’ continued the latter, “I, sir, am the head of a nail concern in New York.” “Yes, sir; lager or bottled?” “What?” | “Lager or imported: bottled or pale?” roared the editor, thinking his visitor was deaf. “What the deuce are you talking about?” said the stranger, growing redder in the face. ‘‘{ aim sir, interested ina nail house in New York.” “Ale house!

What is it you wish to know about lager beer and ale, any how?” “Confound your lager beer and ale! “ame here about the price of nails.” “Nails?” “Yes, N-A-I L S—nails. a nail manufacturer.” There was a suppressed snicker from the manufacturing editor on the-other side of the room; a faint ha!ha!ha! that came through the thin partition that shut out the financial editor, as the man of commercial quotations arose and begged his vistor to be I 1 told you I was | seated, and was soon deep in the mysteries GOOD FUR CAPS, $22.50 PER DOZEN, WOOL HATS, $4.50 AND UPWARDS, Salmon Canning at Astoria. Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia | River, Oregon, was founded by John Jacob Astor as a fur trading post in 1811, and his | enterprise, at that day and for many years | unique, was celebrated in a volume written by Washington Irving. The location has | become the great salmon canning depot of ; the Pacific coast. The business was begun | in 1867, and in the first year 1,000 one’ pound can cases, containing forty-eight cans each, were put up. Now, according to a correspondent of the New York Times, there was sent East last season 282,000 making 11,200 tons, or 1,000 car loads to be sent over the newly opened Northern Pacific Railroad. During last season 153,600 tons of salmon were packed at Astoria, the larger portion of which went to San Fran- cisco, from thence to be sent to all quarters of the globe, about two-thirds of the total eatch going to Europe. There are thirty-seven canneries in Astor- ia, employing about 4,000 men to man_ 2,- 000 boats, and as many more to dress and can the fish. Chinese are the canners, and Italians, Greeks and Scandinavians the fish- ermen. The average weight of the live salmon is thirty-two pounds each, although been caught. The dressed fish weighs just The “handling” of the fish isan art. ‘The “slitter” has arow of fish ranged on the table with the tails toward him. He walks along the table, and with a rapid movement cutting off tails and’ fins as he moves. ‘Then the fish are reversed, and with equal celeri- ty he chops off each head with a single mo- tion. Then he slits the fish open and_ re- moves the entrails. The dressed fish are cut into slices by revolving knives, and by a compressing machine are packed into cans. A ean of salmon is cooked in superheated steam long enough to cause the complete disappearance of bones, otherwise the con- tents would spoil.

It is the only permanent wall finish, and admits of applying as many eoats 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 purposesnot 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 wat) 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 sealed, in a very short time, thus necessitating the well-known great mcon- venience and expense, which all have ex- perienced, in washing and scraping off the old coats before refinishing.

Tribute to the Memory of Charley Turner. : A Detroit, Mich., Nov. 12, 1883. EpiItOR MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: Dear Sir—I again take advantage of your, offer to publish items of interest to commer- cial travelers. \ I have the unwelcome intelligence to an- nounce that the M. Cc. T. A. has lost another member. This time it is Charley Turner, than whom ho more genial, whole-souled traveling man ever represented a Detroit house. Charley was beloved by all his intimate friends, and respected and admired by all who knew him, for his many good qualities. He represented Messrs. H. Newland & Co., and was rated “AL” by them. He had no family, and was but 29 years of age. His parents reside in Flint, where his remains were taken for buriel. He died of typhoid fever after a very brief illness, at his hotel at Marion, Ohio. His parents have the sympathy of all his old associates, and may be assured that he will not soon be forgotten. The annual meeting of the M. C.T. A. takes place Friday, Dec. 28. Itis hoped that every | member will make a special effort to attend, as business of importance will come before the meeting, and a rousing good time may be Having purchased the Eagle Job Printing Establishment, and having added largely to its facilities, we would respectfully announce that we are prepared to execute in first-class style such orders for Book and Job Printing and Blank Book Manufacturing as may be en- trusted to us.
