The better you know your business, the better your chances to rise. 2. Be in your place of business punctually at the appointed time, whatever be the hour, in summer or in winter. 3. See that the shop or department to which you are assigned is well swept, win- dows cleaned, counters, recesses, boxes, etc., dusted and in order. 4, Consider what will be best for show, applicable to the season, day of the week, the state of the weather, as common-sense will dictate that a different class of goods are required for a bright sunshiny day from those on a dull, cold and wet day. 5. On wet days, or when business is dull, the time may be employed in going over the stock, turning out for reduction, or putting a clean face on all goods that are unsalable; spare time may also be used for arrears of bookkeeping, examining the state of the markets,*and supplying what stock is nec- essary. 6. When dressing a fancy goods or a dra- pery window, it will be found very con- venient to note in your memorandum book all you intend to show, and refer to it as you require, when called away to serve cus- tomers, or by any other duties unavoidable in small concerns. 7%, Have a place for everything, and keep everything in its place. 8. Only by arrangement, method and order will business go on smoothly and regularly. 9. Bear in mind that goods are bought to sell, not to keep. 10. Endeavor to master the details of your business, and if you are ignorant of anything that is necessary you should know, seek for the information. 11. Be brisk and active in your move- ments, for sloth makes all things difficult. 12. Be conscientious in the performance of all your duties. 13. The shop or business should never be left without one or other of the partners, if there be any, but if you have no partner, make your most important assistant re- sponsible during your absence. 14. Avoid keeping too much stock. An active stock is the great essential to success. 15. Go frequently over your stock, and ascertain at the earliest moment the amount you have to meet at the next settling day. 16. Put your heart into your work in busi- ness; concentrate your thoughts upon it, strive to excel, be in earnest. 17. Cultivate an affable, yet respectful, bearing toward eustomers; let there be an evident willingness to please, and a manifest desire to understand and supply their wants. Study always to be courteous. 18. Ticket as low as you can, but always sell cheerfully and readily whatever is ticketed, when required to do so. 19. Be aceurate; want of accuracy entails not only errors, but also annoyance and loss. 20. Seek to dignify your work, however humble it be, by the spirit and manner in which you do it. 21. In all your transactions remember that honesty is the best policy. so be scrupulously particular that what you sell is what you represent it to be. 22. 1f an employer aims to give the great- est amount of consideration to those he employs, his conduct will prove as ad- vantageous to himself as to his employes. 23. To prevent litigation or mistakes, take care that every transaction is in writing. 24. Keep a diary, and enter down every night short notes of all matters it is im- portant to remember correctly, or may be necessary to refer to hereafter. 25. If you have several important matters to attend to at once, do not fail to clear up one thoroughly before you attempt to com- mence another. 26. Take care that the orders you receive are not only punctually attended to, but at- te ded to exactly. 27. Do not enter into any transaction un- less you are fully convinced of its being a safe one, and that you thoroughly understand it. 28. A man has other duties to perform bee sides those of business, and he ought to so arrange it as to enable him to devote some portion of his time to family and friends. 29. Do not allow those about you to have temptaticns unnecessarily put in their way, as, if they fall into them, you will be much to blame. Human nature is so weak and liable to err, we ought not to expose others more than can possibly be avoided. 30. Believe strongly in your own exertions and capabilities; at the same time try to get the most out of all you employ, it will bea great benefit to you and to them; to accomplish this, be always on the best terms with your assistants, but avoid undue familiarity. . 31. Do not, on any consideration, place a person who has had anything against his character in a place of trust. This may seem harsh, but what a man has done once he may do again. 32, Avoid waste, even in the smallest mat ters. Carry the habit of economy into every detail of your life; the habit once formed will he of untold benefit to yourself per- sonally. “in disposing of your goods. During the past GRAND RAPIDS. MICHIGAN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26. 33. Treat travelers and representatives of | houses with respect, but waste no time. 34. Accommodate the hours of closing ac- cording to your business. 85. See that every employe is at his post at the specified time. 36. Let your character be real—the shining warp and woof of each day working out a manly part in the great loom of life. ——~<>_ - 9 <> _______—— Hints Regarding Store Fittings. The fitting up of the store and the arrange- ment of stocks and samples is half the battle few years there has been a wonderful advance in this direction, especially in stores devoted to the retail trade. Wedo not refer to the handsomely fitted up buildings of Boston, Buttalo or Chicago, which are designed main- ly for wholesale business, but to smaller stoves, where retailing only is the aim, which are as tastefully fitted, and whose effect up- on the person entering is fully equal to any of our larger cities. There is one of these not many miles from this city, which is in itself—apart from the goods it contains—a perfect gem. The counters, tables, cases and shelves are not expensive, but well adapted to the purpose for which designed, and pre- senting a most attractive appearance. In fitting up the store, two points are to be studied in the arrangement: First, how to show your samples; second, where and how to put your stock. Of course the first is of the greater importance, for, if your samples be well arranged and enticing, the stock will take care of itself; but, on the other hand, many a sale is lost because the seller does not know exactly what quantity of an article he has on hand, and, owing to the mixed and inaccessible condition of the stock, cannot readily ascertain. In arranging tables and counters it is of the utmost ini- portance that there should be an unobstruct- ed view of the entire store, so that the con- tents may be taken in ata glance. On this account the use of racks or pyramids upon the counter is objectionable, as they shut off that portion of the store which is on the other side of where you may be standing. If you have not sufficient room without adding to your available space in this way, let them be put on the counters at the extreme rear to sides of the store, and not on the center tables, as by putting them in the center the store is divided into two smaller rooms. Have all the tables and counters run the same way, and, if possible let it be the longest way of the store. If the ceiling of your store is high,Ja very convenient arrange- ment can be made by building a baleony or gallery around three sides, reached by wind- ing stairs and protected by a railing or bal- ustrade. We have in mind now a store fit- ted in that way, and the result is certainly satisfactory. Each place must have a differ- ent style of fitting, in accordance with its shape, size, position, and many other details, and every table must be specially prepared with a view to the samples it is intended to receive. There need be no great outlay. Searcely more expense is required to fit up a store tastefully than is spent in conventional shelves and tables, covered with a coating of white paint. A little study and thought will soon discover to you the capabilities in this direction of your place of business, and show you the best plan to follow in arranging it for use. Follow this plan. eee es A Drummer’s Conquest. There is a conductor on the Michigan Cen- tral who has a drummer worse down on him than Barnum is on Forepaugh’s white ele- phant. The other day the drummer boarded the train at Jackson, and finding a seat occu- pied by a good-looking woman who seemed lonesome, he got off the usual ‘permit me,’ ete., racket and sat down. Presently, the conductor came through, and the drummer put up his one thousand mile ticket and said “Detroit,” and the conductor tore out one hundred miles arg extended his hand again, saying: “Fare for the lady, please!’ And as she made no effort to pay, the drummer winked at her and asked: ‘Detroit, too?” She nodded, and he paid her fare and then set to work to make a mash. She was vivac- ious and agreeable, and he bought her a good many knick-knacks, and everything seemed to glide along like lard oil for the drummer, until they were approaching Detroit, when he gave her two dollars, and told her to put up at the Eagle hotel, and he would call for her at 8:30. “Jdon’t think I ought to take this money,” she said. “Q, yes! Take it along. I don’t need it, and you can pay your hotel bill with it.” “But I don’t think I ought to take it.” “Why?? “J am afraid my husband wouldn’t like it.” “Oh! never mind him! He won’t care. Why, if he were here I’d ask him to let you take the money, and I know he would.” “Well, ask him, then.’’ ‘Where can I find him?” “J think he is in the front car. He is the conductor on this train, and as soon as he comes in, I’]] ask him about it.” The drummer and his sample case were wrestling in the ditch long before the con- ductor came in, and when he and his wife went to the hotel, they found they were sev- eral dollars and quite an amount of candy ahead. ; 1884. The Sehool of Dishonesty. Tt. W. Tyrer in November Century. in its multitude of forms, the queStion arises, —At what period of life did the’evil-doer first lose his sense of honesty and integrity? If we knew the facts, how often the an- swer would be,—At the time that the offend- er was first placed in contact with the world; when, from one cause or another, he was first forced from the care of his parents and com- pelled to contend alone for his existence; when he first entered upon his apprentice- ship to the merchant, the manufacturer, the professional man, the farmer. Perhaps his choice of occupation has been in a measure directed by the conspicuous advertisement of some one in some of the above-named branches of business. He is not long in dis- covering that the advertisement which led him to ask that employment was a misrep- resentation, caleulated to deceive the public and induce a patronage which a plain state- ment of facts would not effect. That boy or young man who has been taught to abhor a lie and a theft,—and taught that to deceive another to that person’s injury, or to induce him to pay more or receive less for an article than its value, is as bad as to lie or steal—is amazed to find that the man he thought ex- emplary is no better than, if as good as, the man who steals a loaf of bread because of his hunger, and is called a thief. His re- spect for his employer is gone; he no longer regards him as a great or an honest man, and he learns that it is not honesty or integ- rity of character that gives to that man his good name and position, but his great wealth, acquired though it be through fraud and deceit. The next discovery the young man makes is, that he is expected to follow the example of his employer is deceiving his customers as to the quality or value of his goods or wares, in order to obtain their money. Long and hard is the struggle he undergoes. On one hand are certain dismissal from his situ- uation, the disgrace of such dismissal, the suffering it must entail upon those depend- ent upon him, and the probability that he could not secure another place without a recommendation from his employer, which, under the circumstances, he could not ob- tain, and would not ask or accept. On the other hand is the loss of self-respect, honor, manhood. He hesitates, and then looks around among business men to learn if other men do the same kind cf work. He goes over the various branches of trade with which he has came in contact, and finds to his dismay that a large proportion of men practice the same deceptions, that each day, and many times a_ day, they wrong their unsuspecting custom- ers. His faith is almost shaken in the cor- rectness of the teachings of his parents; he wonders if they were not in error, if there has not been some great mistake in his edu- cation; else why are all these men called honest men, and permitted to practice with impunity that which he has been taught was wrong and dishonest! Still he hesitates ; but there come to his mind those dear ones at home, a widowed mother, perhaps, with little brothers and sisters, already pushed to the verge of starvation. Or, if he be a man with a wife and family, can he return to those whom he loves better than his life, and tell them that he has no bread for them, when by doing as other men do he may pro- vide for them luxuriously? All other argu- ments may fail, but he cannot endure the suffering of his family. He lays down his honor, and becomes his employer’s slave. He learns to deceive and lie, and, shall it not be said, virtually to steal in behalf of his em- ployer. If he becomes expert and success ful in the art, he is praised and pronounced “brilliant? and “sharp.” Little by little he loses all regard for truth and even honesty, and hesitates at no deception that will spro- mote his master’s interest or his own, so long as it does not come within the statute as a crime. Once the barrier broken that guards the path of truth and rectitude, the successive steps are easily taken. . He has seen how his employers and others thrive and grow rich upon the gains thus acquired ; and how they are honored and lauded as honest and able business men. He has seen how even those who have been sent to the various seats of government to enact laws and pro- vide penalties for a violation thereof have grown rich without any Visible reason there- for, yet who return to the people who sent them without a question as to how they have acquired their riches while in its service; but, as is often the case, with respect and honor proportionate to their added wealth. All this, and more, has this young man seen, and he knows how false are the deserts up- op which is bestowed this esteem. What wonder, then, that when pressed with cares beyond his meager salary to provide, he be- gins, in his desperation, to practice upon his employer the lessons which he has been taught to perform upon _ that employer’s customers ? There is no praise for him now, as he has changed employers and is now working for himself. Now he is called a thief, and is hurried away to jail for robbing his employ- er. The employer appears and expresses his sorrow that so promising a youth should be guilty of so great a crime; but there is no radesman. .”: NO. 62. | pity nor forgiveness in that man’s heart. He ‘must make an example of this lad that others : . i. ‘ 2 i av be tery ° or natin In looking for the primary cause of crime | may be deterred from daring to practice up- on the rich and powerfnl merchant the lessons he has taught them to practice upon his customers. _ There is hardly an article of manufactured i merchandise made or imported in the United States that has not its adulterations or imita- tions; and there are but few articles of raw material that are not in some manner adul- terated. What is needed is a law that shall compel all men to do an honest business; a law that shall apply alike to the rich and the poor; a law that shall punish a man who sells with a false balance, the same as the man who steals a loaf of bread; a law that shall punish the man who makes andsells a counterfeit araicle of merchandise, the same as the man who makes and cireulates a coui- terfeit coin. >> - > American Re-Assertion. G. C. Matthews, in the Current. The average American citizen is peculiar in that, on being knocked down, his first impulse is to declare himself only slightly hurt, and to immediately return to the com- bat confidently and courageously. He is very slow to admit defeat. The newspaper reporter encounters many examples of this spirit. If a great manufactory burns down in the hight of a busy season, the first state- ment of the proprietor is that of a deter- mination to build again, before he knows whether his loss is great or small. If a bank suspends, it is always with the inten- tion of ultimate resumption, while all the other banks of the city with one voice de- clare they are not injured by the failure, and it very frequently requires many years to convince their respective directors that they were crippled at all. Some of the most suecessful dramatic enterprises began in failure. Many great railroad undertak- ings have a continuous history of triumph over misfortune, and many politicians have found that the defeats of to-day may cause the victories of the morrow. The American finds hope in the fact that no man ean tell what the morrow may bring forth. He does not despair because of the uncertainty. It may be that this is the hope of the gambler, but his optimism, with his attendant blessing of inspiration and consequent renewal of courageous ac- tivity, is ever assertive and ever saving. He refuses to don sackcloth and deelines to sit in ashes. The chairman of one_ political party’s committee, said the dispatches, con- cedes 5,000 to the other side, while the latter claim 20,000. There’s the American optimism. Both sides were looking at the situation through rose-color. When the next dispatches showed that a miscaleula- tion had been made, and that the former were victors, the official who had conceded 5,000 now claimed 10,000, and he who had claimed 20,000 conceded only 500. There it was again. But when the campaign was over, the defeated forgot their disappoint- ment, and when the next was on, there was a renewal of, the old fight without the slightest diminution of hopefulness. Pope said, ‘‘ Man never is but always to be blest.” An American revision would read, ‘‘ Man is always bound to be blessed.” The American has the happiest faculty of forgetting his misfortunes and losses. The Republic has survived the fiercest civil war of history, the commercial world the Jay Cooke panic, and the Government the political crisis of 1876. Foreigners, coming to these shores, would find it difficult to follow the track of the war, which closed only nineteen years ago; the terrible finan- > cial erash of 1873 is regarded as a good lesson, and the Electoral Commission fur- nishes an occasional paragraph for a news- paper humorist, while the doctrinaires in Congress, forgetful of the dangers in the present method of electing a President, dally over the once warmly-urged proposi- tions to remove them. The Republic sails on serenely, the country grows richer and richer, and “The Government at Washing- ton still lives.” A day is an eternity of time to the Ameri- can. Events of interest succeed so quickly and sharply that one sensation treads upon another’s heels, so fast they follow. The croaker of one day is the cheerful prog- nostieator of the next. It may be that the eroaking was based upon a sound philosophy, but the true American philosopher is quick to recognize new and brighter conditions. The Republic has continued on a line of rapidly increasing prosperity, through wars and financial erises and political revolutions from the very beginning, and who, there- fore, shall say that, the campaign of 1884 being closed, the rule of the majority is the distress of the nation. —-. 4 << The Manufacturers’ Gazette claims that the effects of the inhalation of fumes of strong ammonia on the system are deafness and catarrh. In some instances the troubles are very serious, indeed. It will induce lung disease if there is any tendency to weak- ness of the lungs. The most valuable rem- edy is to inhale the fumes of strong glacial acetic acid which re-acts upon the alkali am- monia. Sa The steamship Great Eastern is to be at New Orleans during the exposition.

It is not carrying the point too far to assert that the people of this country, hay- ing just emerged from a tempestuous and tumultuous national campaign, are in a ‘frame of mind to ratify an amendment to the Constitution lengthening the Presiden- tial term to six or eight years. Altogether the worst feature of the busi- ness situation for the past year has been the paralysis of the iron industry. Slight symp- toms of improvement are now noted—so slight that it requires a sharp eye to detect them. Nevertheless, any sign of a change for the better is decidedly welcome. aE AEE TTF The inimediate suspension of silver coin- age is the first act by which the coming Congress can ingratiate itself in its country’s favor. Such a measure is being strongly urged by the various mercantile and manu- facturing exehanges, and should secure the approval of every business man from Maine to California. OS NOR ORT SET turers of the country will observe Thanks- giving day with due respect to-morrow; and business men generally have reason to feel thankful that the strained financial situation has not been productive of greater disaster, and that the country is emerging from a cal- amitous crisis without suffering more severe- ly. een SSE SOY ET STE PRATT As is usually the case when business is quiet, there are more dealers anxious to sell than to buyasthe present time. There were never better opportunities for purchasing desirable plants, however, than at preseut, and shrewd business men are not slow to recognize this fact and govern themselves ac- cordingly. Several valuable locations have béen advertised in Tur TRADESMAN of late, and those now appearing in these columns afford excellent opportunities for men with the requisite amount of capital and exper- ience. RT REA RE SLI A Another case of cheese poisoning at Howell. It has been found that the Fruit- ridge factory—from which came the cheese which caused the poisoning at Middleville and Big Rapids early in the season—is also responsible for the recent sickness among the prisoners at the Jackson jail, as well as the Howeil trouble. Is the poisoning from the whey tank or the nameless weed ?— This is a question the cheesemakers of the State ought to determine, to the satisfaction of themselves and the great cheese-eating public. Unless more active steps are taken in this direction, the results will inevitably be decreased consumption and a consequent decline in the profits of the factorymen and the milk producers. The Allegan Gazette, in reviewing the improvements which have been made at that place since the business portion of the town was swept away by fire, about eight months ago, presents a list of thirty-six two- story brick store buildings, costing on an ay- erage $4,000 apiece, making a total of $144,- 000. The new buildings are in almost every case improvements over the former struc- tures, both in point of uniformity, architect- ural beauty and the convenience of the occu- pants. Besides the new blocks, several dwell- ings and other buildings have been erected, making the total expenditure at least $160,- 000. .< Linderman’s Patents and Products. There is probably no more ingenious a —than A. T. Linderman, of Whitehall. On i the destruction of his stave and shingle mill | by fire last winter, he turned his attention | to the manufacture of hard-wood bread boards, and found there was no practical machinery for the rapid production of dove- tailed work. Thereupon the old adage to the effect that ‘‘ Necessity is the mother of | invention” was again proven true, and Lin- | derman sueceeded in constructing a machine which is ahead of anything of the kind ever turned out. Then a device had to be | invented whereby the boards could be put ‘together with rapidity, and the result of | both machines is a joint which is so near ‘perfect that an expert is frequently de- ceived. Linderman’s factory has a daily eapacity of about 75 dozen bread and meat boards, which find a market in every state in the Union. They are made of hard maple, thoroughly seasoned in kilns specially ‘adapted for that purpose—also the inven- tion of the owner—and are warranted not /to warp, split, or come apart. Hight sizes /of bread boards and six sizes of meat _ boards are turned out. Mr. Linderman is -also making an interlocking packing box, in , ten sizes, on which he has applied for a |patent. It is dove-tailed together, no nails being used in its construction, and is bound to meet with universal recognition at the hands of business men everywhere. He has also applied for a patent on a wobble | saw planer, and has two or three other use- /ful inventions stowed away somewhere in ‘the back part of his head. \ $< -3- <> Montague Matters. | A new opera house is among the possibili- ‘ities of the immediate future. M. J. Badder has removed his grocery | stock from his former location to a building ‘on the main street, nearer the business cen- ‘ter of the place. | ‘Thompson & Co., a firm composed of two brothers, E. D. and E. K. Thompson, have | just put in anew hardware stock. They will | continue their hardware store at Whitehall. | E. L. Dodge, formerly with L. G. Ripley, | has formed a eopartnership with C. D. ‘Dowling, under the firm name of E. L. in the cultivation and shipment of celery, | Dodge & Co., and purchased the drug at Kalamazoo, and the value of the annual product of the industry exceeds $200,000. About 50,000 barrels of apples have been shipped from Ionia county this season, | bringing, on an average, 31 per barrel. | Nearly all the shipments have been to Min- | nesota and Dakota. The machinery of the Colby sawmill, near Stanton, one of the largest interior mills in the State, is to be transferred to Oregon. It goes to New York by rail and thence by vessel. It fills 10 freight cars. Walter & Wood, a firm long established in the hardware business in Battle Creek, closed their doors Saturday, with liabilities amounting to $25,000. It is thought that the firm will be able to resume business. The old Crapo mill, at Flint, has ceased operations forever. All the timber tributary to the mill has been cut up. Many years the old mill has run, sawing 12,000,000 feet ayear and over. Last near 12,202,000 feet were cut. The test deep salt well at the Detroit mill, Bay City, became a flowing well Sat- urday evening, having attained a depth of 2,180 feet. The brine is 100 per cent. in | store of J. H. Sullivan & Co. They will continue the business at the old stand for erection of a brick store building during the coming summer season. Messrs. Burrows & Jones, L. G. Ripley and Geo. Dowling are each building new brick blocks on the site of the burned build- ings, each block being 25x80 feet in dimen- sions and two stories high. On the com- pletion of the buildings—about the beginning of the new year—Burrows & Jones will occupy their store with their grocery busi- ness, L. G. Ripley will resume the drug business, and Dowling’s store will possibly be occupied by Jas. J. Gee with a hardware stock—a branch to his Whitehall establish- ment. « A curious fact in relation to the Greely Arctic Expedition is not generally known. According to Lieutenant Greely’s account, of the nineteen men who perished, all but one were smokers, and that one was the last to die. ‘The seven survivors were non-smoking men.

December The Drug Market. Business has picked up considerably dur- ing the past week, and there is every reason for a still further improvement from this time on. The special features of the week have been the advance in iodine, bromide and mercury, affecting the many chemicals made from them, as follows: Iodine— ammonium, arsenic, cadmium, calcium, copper, crude, resublimed, iodoform, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, mer- cury, potassium, quinine, silver, sodium, snl- phur, zine. Bromide—potassium, ammonium, sodium. Mereury—calomel, corrosive sullim- ate, red and white precipitate, white, bi sulphate, blue mass, merc: ointment. Manufacturers quote all these articles “ with- out offer” and a further advance is an- ticipated. Quinine is dull and featureless. Cubebs have declined and are leading down- ward. Malaga olive oil is very firm. Stocks are concentrated and higher prices are looked for. Opium is very firm.

Many pharmacists have decided to adopt this means of pre- venting poison as one which is very effective so far as it goes. The difference in shape will prevent a large number of the night ac- cidents now so common among people who cannot, or will not, read a label. Plate glass was discovered in an ac- cidental way, in 1688, by a man named. The- yart. It is attributed to the breaking of a vessel containing melted glass, a portion of which found its way under a large flag stone, which, when subsequently removed, was found to cover a plate of glass. This suggested the idea of casting glass in plates. A very complete filling for open cracks in floors may be made by thoroughly soaking newspapers in paste made of one pound of flour, three quarts of water, and a table- spoonful of alum, thoroughly boiled and mixed. Make the final mixture about as thick gs putty, and it will harden like papier mache. A St. Louis man has discovered that cat- fish skin makes elegant leather and pro- poses to get out a patent and make a fortune. He uses it for everything, for shoe-laces to slippers, cabas, pocket-books and fancy pocket-case covers. The leather is light gray in color, very soft and tough. A certain northern druggist recently had a call for the bull-eyed-of zine omtment, to be used for sore eyes. When he suggested that the oxide of zinc ointment was the de- sired atticle, the customer said: “ Well, I knew it was made out of some kind of a critter’s eye.” In France, the sale of proprietary medi- cines is only permitted after the formula has been communicated to the Academy of Med- icine. In Germany, the sale of all such ar- cles is strictly prohibited. The Glassware Reporter says that tem- pered glass may now take its rank among valuabie inventions, subject, however, to many defects in its present state. In the consumption of soap per capita the United States lead. Italy is last on the list. * The attempt to raise india rubber in Cey- lon seems likely to proye a failure. Cotton ties are again being manufactured at Pittsburg. ——___—~. +... Five Points to be Remembered. Keep down expenses, but don’t be penurious. * Enter your charges when the goods are sold. Don’t wait. Don’t take fresh risks to retrieve your losses. Cut them off short. Have a proper division of work, and neither interfere nor permit interference with your employes. It is better for your credit to postpone payment squarely than to pretend to pay by giving a worthless promise. <---> Every Business Man Should Take It. From the Shelby Independent.

On motion of O. A. Ball, the meeting proceeded to the election of officers, and the chair appointed as tellers C. H. Leonard and W. T. Lamoreaux.

A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Bar- low for his services in behalf of the Ex- change, and he was unanimously requested to continue to act as secretary until an ac- tuary is appointed. The meeting then adjourned. Shields, Cart- on MUSKEGONcMATTERS, Facts and Fancies Picked Up at that Place. Dr. J. Van Deinse contemplates the es- tablishment of another drug store on Pine street within the next month. The building and machinery of the Mus- keyon Basket Factory will be removed to: Lakeside, where the manently located. It is to be hoped that no groceryman will disregard his agreement relative to closing his store at 8 o’clock, as the dereliction of a few dealers would render the arrange- ment practically inoperative. A. W. Mosher & Co., who have been doing a produce commission business on Pine street for several months past, have dissolved, M. F. Reed retiring. The busi- ness will be continued by A. W. Mosher. Kline’s patent egg carrier and eandler.is rapidly taking front rank, and is bound to meet with the success it deserves. A St. Louis house is negotiating for the purchase of several of the most important states in the Union. The Schimmel stock seems to be followed by the same curse which is visited upon the creditors of the ill-fated concern. Park A. C. Bradford, who purchased the silverware portion of the stock, recently made an as- signment to one Mr. Gordon; but while the papers were being drawn, Mrs. Bradford’s attorneys seized the entire stock on a $1,200 chattel mortgage. pe may seem to be beyond the limit of possibility, but it is nevertheless a fact that a certain jobbing housetvin {this city doing a business aggregating $100,000 a year, has been able to pull along so far this year without making a single loss. Such an ex- ceptional showing is aue to unusual ecareful- ness in the selection of customers and un- wonted diligence in looking after the prompt payment of every invoice. The same firm carried on a retail business last season at a loss of exactly 48 cents, which is probably without parallel in the mereantile history of Michigan. : Alex. McKay, Wierengo’s defaulting book- keeper, was brought back to Muskegon Friday and will have his preliminary ex- amination to-day. MeKay states that when he left Muskegon he went directly to Toronto and had, when he arrived there, about $800. He lost this§in a remarkably short time by taking a hand in a gameof poker. He saw an advertisement in a newspaper wherein a business house ina neighboring town wanted to engage a clerk, and succeeded tn seraping together money enough to reach the town, when he learned that the firm had already employed a clerk. He then went to Buffalo, and afterward to New York City, in both of which places he succeeded in getting bogus dratts on Wier- engo cashed by business houses. His next move was to lose that amount at gambling. He freappeared at one of the business houses and his arrest followed. When taken into custody McKay had only seven- teen cents on his person. He declares that his wife has known nothing of his where- abouts. The general opinion seems to be that he will go over the road for not less than five years. a Soliloquy of the Rubber Goods Drummer.

Workings of the English Bankruptcy Act. | The Pall Mall Gazette pays the following tribute to the new English bankruptcy act, which will probably be the basis of the coming bankrupt system of this country: The net gain under the new bankruptcy act can be summed up in a paragraph, but it is felt throughout the whole country. Under the act of 1869 the law-costs aver- aged 37 per cent. in eases of bankruptcy and 3614 per cent. in cases of liquidation, while under Mr. Chamberlain’s act they only average 12 per cent. At one stroke, therefore, 25 per cent. of the assets have been saved from the lawyers and account- ants and rendered available for distribution among the creditors. It was bad enough for the creditor to lose half his money owing to the impecuniosity of the debtor, but it was worse to have 37 per cent. of the re- siduum devoured by the rapacity of the lawyers. But that is only a small part of the boon conferred upon the trading com- munity by the new act. It has acted asa great deterrent to fraudulent bankruptcies. The number of bankruptcies this year up to October 11 was 5,223 below that of the cor- responding period in last year. The decrease has been nearly 60 per cent., a great and notable diminution indeed. At first it was believed that this was due to the making of private arrangements behind the act. It is quite true that the worshipful fraternity of accountants and bankruptcy lawyers did their utmost to effect such arrangements. But they failed, failed utterly and ignomin- iously, and we have in the diminished num- ber of bankruptcies a fair index to the dim- inution effected in the number of debtors who try to cheat their creditors. That isa remarkable change to have effected, and while the air is still ringing with Carlyle’s denunciations of dishonesty and roguery of his decadent generation it is weil to re- member that this is the notablest stroke that has yet been dealt at “swindling by statute.’ That is good; but that is not all. Not only have 25 per cent. of the assets been saved to the creditors, not only have the number of bankruptcies been reduced in ten months by 5,223, but in places where private compositions have been accepted by creditors so great is the dread excited by public examination of debtors that the amount of composition has risen all around. In one district in the west of England it is reported that compositions of 10s. and 15s. in the pound are now the rule. Thus, both directly and indirectly, the act has operated most beneficially in securing the payment of debts and in preventing the swindling of honest men. So remarkable have been the results ob- tained by the operation of Mr. Chamber- lain’s act that even such a sworn enemy of the new law as the Standard has admitted that the cost of official administration is much less; that the dividends are much greater; that the lawyers’ fees are saved, and that estates are much more promptly realized. But the crowning proof of the success of the act is afforded by the circular of the association for its repeal or amend- ment. This circular sets forth with thinly- veiled frankness the real motives of those who alone question the reality of Mr. Chamberlain’s success. “ Bankruptcy prac- titioners”’ have set the thing on foot with the following objects: 1. To amend the rules and scales of fees and curtail the powers of the Board of Trade. 2. To obtain the legal recognition of ar- rangements between debtor and creditor without the necessity of recourse to ab- solute bankruptey—which means _ the avoid- ance of examination on oath and the taxing of solicitors’ bills. 3. To protect encroachment on bankruptcy practitioners, and to protect trustees against the unfair retrospective clauses of the pres- ent act—which, being interpreted, means that the Board of Trade is no longer to compel trustees to account for funds which they have misapplied. 4. To obtain an increase in the scales of remuneration to solicitors, trustees, etc., which needs no explanation. The Bankruptcy act must, indeed, have been 2 great success when the worst that can be said against it is that it must be amended, not in the interest of the creditor, but solely in the interest of those who have tattened on the creditor for years past. a - It takes only three men to successfully move a safe to the sixth story, but it re- quires all the way from seventy-two to one hundred and thirty-five in constant attend- ance to see that it is done properly. ae A recent advertisement runs as follows: “ Wanted, four young ladies for commercial travelers.” As he grows older the com- mercial traveler becomes bolder and more depraved.

GENTLEMEN—In reply to yours of the 18th inst., asking our views in regard to the general excellence of your “ STANDARD JAVA,”’ will say that our house was founded in the year 1840, and from that time to the present our earnest united efforts have been to se- cure goods which represented the very highest grade of quality, and the success we have had and the reputation we enjoy we attribute to this policy. About a year ago our attention was called to your “STANDARD JAVA,” we person- ally tested it very carefully and to our-mind it was most excellent. We then ordered a sample lot and placed it before our customers for approval, and it was pronounced by them a very fine Coffee. Since then as you know we have bought largely, and freely admit that it gives the best satisfaction. It is uniform in quality, and we have daily proofs from con- sumers that it is richer, finer flavored and more uniform than the Coffee we formerly sold which was the finest brand of Ankola or Mandeheling Java in the market. Yours respectfully, Joseph R. Peebles’ Sons. Send for Sample Lot. We guarantee to increase your Coffee trade. We have done it with others; we can with you.

In New Hampshire, according to a recen | decision of the Supreme Court of that State, | a woman’s anti-nuptial will is not revoked by her marriage. COLOR OF TITLE. ‘A deed from one in possession of land, under color of title, gives color of title to the grantee, though the deed is not re- eorded.—Bellows vs. Jewell, Supreme Court of New Hampshire. FORGED INDORSEMENT. The drawee, who, without notice of any forgery, has paid a draft to the holder to whom it was negotiated by forged indorse- ment of the payee’s names, may recover of the holder the money paid upon the draft.— Supreme Court of New Hampshire. EXECUTOR—TRUST FUNDS. Generally a loan of trust funds to one person without security is negligence, and an executor is liable for a loss caused by such a loan, whether the loss occurred before or after the passage of the act prescribing trustees’ investments.—Supreme Court of New Hampshire. CORPORATION — DESIGNATION — FEDERAL JURISDICTION. Where a corporation, doing business in a State other than that of its residence or creation, in compliance with a State law designates a person upon whom service of process may be made, it thereby renders itself liable to be sued in the Federal courts within that State-——United States Court, District California. RAILROAD—APPLIANCES FOR SAFETY OF SERVANTS. It is the duty of a railroad corporation to adopt all such means and appliances for the safety of its servants as experience has demonstrated to be necessary and can safely be used. But the burden of proof is upon the plaintiff who charges negligence for not adopting a certain device, to show from a survey of the whole field that the means of protection could safely be adopted and that it afforded the desired protection in one direction without the introduction of new perils in another.—Appellate Court, Third District of Llinois. INSURANCE POLICY—STATEMENT OF LOSS. Where an insurance policy contains a stipulation, as a condition precedent to the right of action of the insured for damages for loss, that a statement of the loss be fur- nished the insurer, and there is no proof that such statement has been made, the in- sured cannot recover, according to the de- cision of the Texas Court of Appeals in the ease of the Fire Association of London ys. Miller et al. CARRIER’S LIABILITY—-NOTICE OF CLAIM. Where a contract of shipment contained an express stipulation that as a condition precedent to the shipper’s right to recover for any damages that such shipper “ will give notice in writing of his claim to some officer of the road or its nearest station agent,” etc., a verbal notice of his claim for damages is not in compliance with the stipu- lation. Nor does the fact that after his | i i | | | verbal notice the parties ‘told him to wait a reasonable time and informed him that a member of the company would come and settle with him,” amount to a waiver on the part of the company to such written notice. t So held by the Texas Court of Appeals in the ease of the Missouri Pacific Railway vs. Seott. Such a stipulation as that mentioned above was held valid and binding in the ease of Texas Pacific Railway vs. Scrivener, decided by the same court at the same term. TRADE-MARK—SIGN ON STOREHOUSE. In the ease of Armstrong vs. Kleinhaus et al., decided on the 28th ult., the Kentucky Court of Appeals held that while a party would be protected in the use of a name or sign applied to a storehouse or other build- ing where he had built up a prosperous business, he having appropriated the name or sign and by his skill and energy ren- dered it valuable, yet when the name or sign thus used was peculiarly applicable to the building, and had been given to it by the owner to describe and designate the place, and not the particular kind of busi- ness or the person carrying it on there, it should be considered as afiixed to the build- ing, and that a tenant having removed from the building could not by reason of the fact that he had built up a prospexous busi- ness there under that name or sign object to its use by one succeeding him in the occu- paney of the building. Under such circum- stances the court held in this case that the appellant had no right to prevent the ap- pellees from using the sign ‘‘ Tower Palace.” LIABILIFY OF TRUSTEE—BANK FAILURE. The question of the liability of a trustee for the loss of funds deposited by him ina bank in consequence of the failure of the bank was considered in the case of Nor- wood, administrator, vs. Harness et al., de- cided by the Supreme Court of Indiana on the 30th ult. The court held that a trustee is not liable merely because, instead of un- dertaking to keep the trust money safely in his own house, he deposits it in a private bank which fails, nor bezause the bank, is weak, unless that fact was known to the trustee or might have been known by the exercise of ordinary prudence and diligence. The question in all such cases, said the court, is: Was the trustee reasonably pru- dent or diligent in making or continuing the deposit? If so he will not be liable, al- though the bank was and had been insolvent. Such insolvency will not affect him unless he kuew it, or unless it was generally known, or unless there were general ru- mors injuriously affecting the credit of the bank, which were known to the trustee or might have been known by reasonable dili- gence. liable for the loss of funds deposited by him in the Indiana Banking Company, it having been shown that the company had been insolvent for five years before its fail- ure, and that it had the reputation of being an unsafe bank, facts which the adminis- trator could have found out by reasonable diligence. ; <>< Needed by every retail grocer or confec tioner, one or more of Kenyon’s Patent Spring Paper Bag Holders.

Now the causes that led tothis failure— and they undoubtedly are the same in many other cases—were that the grocer did too large a business. He seemed to possess the idea that the more goods he sold—whether at cost or at a small loss—the more money he made. Selling goods at less than cost was the prime cause of his failure. Then he was ready, and some thought even anxious, to trust anybody and every- body. He let large accounts accumulate on his ledger, and he found it a good deal easier to demand payment than to get it. Trusting out was cause number two for his failure. He purchased many goods that had no sale in his vicinity. There was no demand for them and they were like so much dead stock on his hands. sonable goods—articles that are in demand only for a short tiute—he bought ten times what he had any reasonable right to sup- pose could be sold. These are reasons three and four for his suspension. He didn’t keep posted on market prices and often bought above the prevailing prices. Cause number five. His clerks did just as they pleased, and he did not exercise any supervision over them. He was in his store but a few hours daily and the details of the business were unknown to him. He trusted to his clerks’ “‘say so.” Do you wonder he failed ? And yet his is not a solitary case by any manner of means. Any one of these causes is sufficient to ruin aman’s business. Are you sure you are free from each of these untoward hin- drances to success ? ———__ <6 Some Observations by a Thinking Dealer. Sr. IanAce, Nov. 17, 1884. Editor “ Michigan Tradesman:”’ DEAR Sin—l am thankful to say that business is improving slowly but surely, and that we retailers have begun a good work by refusing credit to doubtful cus- tomers, and letting only good ones have credit for a short time, and then at an ad- vance, making them feel that ready-cash-on- delivery customers are better in our eyes and more to be desired than any man’s good name. Itis better to give asmall bill of goods right out and deserve their good wishes than to credit and lose the goods and the customers’ future trade. The wholesale grocer has to put up with a good many‘ undesirable things from the retailer; but the desire of their drummers to draw us into giving a big order, thereby getting better prices, has much to do with it. We are put to great inconvenience to meet our bills; whereas, if the persuasive eloquence of the army of commercial trav- elers had not drawn out an order more fitting a jobbing house than a retail one, we would not be overstocked, and could say, “Tam monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute.” There would be fewer failures, and more happiness all round. The wholesaler could go to bed. and sleep the sweet sleep of in- nocent childhood, with angels ascending and descending, and, awaking, could say, like Jacob of old, that he was at the gate of Heaven. With kind regards, GEORGE >_> Rice paper, such as comes in little books for the use of cigarette smokers, is said to be the best thing in the world with which to wipe spectacle glasses. COOKE. When it came to sea-- From the Baltimore Journal of Commerce. Rice is used in all parts of the world as food; and a large proportion of the world’s population live upon it almost exclusively. In China, Japan, the East Indies and the adjacent islands, the success or failure of the rice crop means plenty or famine to nearly 800 millions of people. The largest house in -the trade in this country is in New York. It claims to handle fully one-half of the American product, having branch houses in Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans. On the authority of a member of this firm, who. is regarded as an expert in rice lore, the quantity raised in foreign lands in a single year is about 250 billion pounds, or about 2,000 times as much as is raised in the Jnited States in our very best seasons. The grain is mostly consumed where it is raised, and not more than one per cent. is ex- ported. The exports from the Indies thus far this year amount to 5,460,000 bags, with 1,300,000 bags afloat, and ,192 bags in stock in England. The rice grown abroad is known as Rangoon, Java and Patna. We also receive some from Japan. In our coun- try, its growth is confined to North and South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama, and the product is 150 million pounds annually. For many years, we have grown nearly enough rice for our own consumption, but this season we shall be required to draw more largely on foreign rice. This is not due to a decrease in our product, for the re- ported damage to the crop proves, on in- quiry, to be confined tu a limited area. As our foreign population grows, the consump- tion of rice increases, aud it is coming large- ly into general use on our own tables, taking the place of potatoes, to some extent. We import a great deal of broken rice, which is extensively used by brewers. We also im- port a great deal of rice flour, which is used by confectioners in making candy and sizing. Bakers also use it to some extent in place of starch. Prices vary according to the produc- tion, and range from 4!4 cents a pound for common to 6 cents for fancy. Foreign rice ranges in price, after the duty is paid, about the same as domestic. The idea of the pro- tective tariff of 1865 was to enable planters to rehabilitate their farms. It has resulted in increasing the product from 52,892,400 pounds in 1870 to 150 millions in 1884. The tariff has accomplished its intended result, and might be well withdrawn, The Missis- sippi river is very favorable for rice-growing, and ought to make the idle lands of Louis- jana productive. The introduction of intelligent labor and labor-saving machinery would reduce the cost of production to such a degree that the prices allowable for export trade would be highly remunerative. It is estimated that in eight Southern States there are from 70 to 90 million acres suitable for rice culture, and otherwise of little value, called waste lands. eo io The Rice Product of the World. Louisiana contains any other State. Ata low average of yield, say 1,000 pounds of clear rice per acre, if | these waste lands were brought under tillage | the United States could rival the East, and | produce fom 70 to 90 billion peunds yearly. | a Ss ae .

THE CHEESE MARKET. An ‘Eastern Authority on Present Condi- tions and Future Prospects. From Bradstreet’s. The six months’ most active business of the cheese factories is now past, and al- though a large part of the product—prob- ably one-fifth —is yet to come forward, it is possible to review the transactions of those months, to see what causes have helped or hindered the trade, and perhaps to form some judgment in regard to the prospects of the next half year. Statistics are sometimes puzzling, and they are so this year. The exports of cheese from the American continent for the period extending from May 1 to November 1, 1884, which is the period used for all our calculations unless otherwise stated, were 103,804,000 pounds. Of this amount, 80,- 092,500 pounds went from the port of New York, being 56 per cent. of the whole. The Montreal shipments were 58,405,500 pounds, or 40 per cent. of the whole, being very nearly the 1,000,000 boxes claimed by Canadian authorities. The remaining 4 per ‘eent. went from Boston, New Orleans, Balti- more and Philadelphia. For the same six months in 1883 New York shipped only 77,909,450 pounds, or 2,183,081 pounds less than this year, which is equivalent to 36,- 885 boxes. The receipts in New York were 1,826,093 boxes, and for the corresponding period in 1883 they were 1,881,041 boxes, showing a decrease of 54,948 boxes. Add- ing the increase of exports to the decrease of receipts and we should naturally suppose that the market was better off by 91,333 boxes. The comparison with 1882 is still more striking so far as the exports are con- cerned. That year the shipments from May 1 to November 1 were only 67,458,612 pounds, or 12,633,918 pounds less than this year. This is equal to 210,565 boxes less than the exports of this year. The fact is that, with the exception of 1882, the re- ceipts have been smaller than for the cor- responding period in eight years, while, as we have shown, the shipments are larger than during the two years just past. What ground is there then for the complaint of dullness in trade, which is so prevalent among merchants engaged in this business ? Ever since July 1 there has been the com- plaint that cheese was being put into cold storage in this city. When the stock of cheese was taken account of October 1 there was reported to be 66,193. boxes on hand, against 47,586 at the same time last year But it was claimed that this report was en- tirely inadequate, and that there were at least 100,000 boxes in stock. But, where could this come from? With 5 per cent. less cheese to handle on account of in- creased shipments and decreased receipts, it seems almost mysterious that there should be such a surplus on hand. We can see but one explanation for it. Slackness in the home trade must be responsible for the ac- cumulation of stock. There are two reasons for this diminution of our domestic trade: first, the make of cheese in this country has not been as good in quality as usual. The excessively hot weather of a part of June, August and September, and the alternations between heat and cold, made it very difficult to secure the right conditions for making a perfect cheese, or for curing it when made. This imperfect stock was the first to go into cold storage, as it was rejected by ship- pers and let alone by home buyers. Being bought at comparatively low prices, from 81¢ to 91¢., it was believed that by storing it might be brought forward later in the season and sold at a profit on the advance in late-made cheese. The accumulation thus begun was added to from time to time, domestic buyers keeping just as shy of it as the shippers. And there should be added to this the fact that skimming was begun earlier than ever before in the interior of this state. By the middle of September many factories were allowing their patrons to skim the night’s milk, a ruinous practice which not only depreciates the price of their cheese but actually diminishes its quantity so much that the butter made from the cream taken off will no more than pay for the cheese lost. Commission men and buy- ers ought to take every means in their power to convince the dairymen that they are seriously injuring their own business, and the reputation of New York state cheese is suffering severely from this cause. Already the Canadians are boasting, and with more truth than fiction in their words, that their make has sold at from 1c. to le. per pound more this season than central New York cheese. And the reason is be- cause they make a more solfd and flinty cheese, and do not skim the milk. Buyers and shippers know these facts, and are not afraid when they buy Canadian cheese that a portion of the cream has been extracted from it. The second reason for diminished home trade lies in the fact that the country is less prosperous than it was a year ago. Large numbers of working people, on ac- count of smaller wages or less work, are obliged to forego the luxuries of life and confine themselyes to the necessaries. Con- sequently cheese suffers. It is generally useless to attempt to fore- east the future course of any business, but there are certain facts which may reasonably be expected to have an influence. A stock of hot-weather cheese held over into the winter is pretty sure to make a heavy market for everything that is not strictly fine. On the other hand, choice stock seems likely to be scarce, and will probably cut loose from the lower grades and stand on its own merits at a good, round price. The value of goods that are somewhat faulty must de- pend in a large measure upon the foreign demand later in the season. We do not look for lower prices than now prevail, and if thoroughly choice goods prove to be very limited in supply after the fall make has all been gathered in, it is possible that this faet may have a beneficial effect upon the whole market. —~<- 6 --—_--— Superiority of Creamery Buiter. From the Northwest Farmer. There are many reasons given why cream- ery butter, as a rule, sells higher than dairy butter. The secret of it probably lies here. It is better butter, and one prime reason for its being, better is because the man who makes the butter does not own the milk, and therefore has to stand the criticism of those who do furnish it. When a man has fifty or one hundred persons wondering why he does not get the highest market price for his butter, he is very apt to doit. When the butter-makef owns all the milk he is too easily satisfied with the quality of his make of butter. - 0 - <——-- Candles of wax furnished by insects specially reared for the purpose provide the most brilliant light known in China.

W. Mc [NBY, Gen’l Agent, pede tea ded Th the Michizn Tradestal, ‘WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 6, 1884, Dry Goods. a How Cotton is Bought and Sold. From the Boston Journal of Commerce. To the cotton mauufacturer, this may be a subject of common moment. He knows his own method of purchasing, and it probably does not differ from that pursued by his neighbor. All cotton, however, is not bought and sold alike. There are three methods fol- lowed among cotton manufacturers, either one of which is adopted according to the fancy of the purchaser. One method is to buy the cotton in the home market, say New York or Boston, where each bale, or its representative sample can be personally examined and ac- cepted or rejected. This is the way usually pursued by small mills, in cases where the purchases do not exceed.ten'to twenty-five or fifty bales. When the grade, condition, staple and price are equally advantageous this is the safest and'best way of buying, under all cir- cumstances. Unfortunately, if it can be looked upon as such, conditions are of that character that this does not offer the greatest advantage, and another method has generally usurped this old fashion, and, not nany’years ago, universal practice. Purchases of fifty bales and morejare now made through agents, called cotton buyers, stationed at the cotton marts in the Southern States. This has be- come a system of much importance, and so general is its adoption that all others are of minor consideration. It brings the producer and consumer nearer to one another than any heretofore available, and is’as direct, in this respect as anything/that can be¥'desired. Railroad facilities are such that transporta- tion is as cheap from the cotton centers of the South direct to the’mills as it isto New York and Boston, thus saving all the expense at- tending the handling and transhipment at Northern markets. The third method of buy- ing has a degree of popularity among some mills, which is to make contracts for purchas- ers for future delivery at stipulated prices. This can be safely entered into by the seller, regardless of contingencies affecting the fluct- uation, in market values, by taking advantage of the facilities which the cotton exchanges, New York, for instance, offer. This has feat- ures which commend it as a wise expedient, theseason at atime when its purchasers for the season at a time when it is thought prices are at their lowest, without requiring an out- lay of capital beyond keeping good a small margin of, say, half a cent a pound: simply enough to cover any probable and immediate variation in the market value. The matter of contracts for future delivery, as utilized by mills, is really a mere fraction of the business done on the contract basis. It has become a mighty species of speculation, overtopping everything bearing on legitimate transactions in cotton. Speculation in contracts is merely a device for betting on the future value of cotton; and so important a factor has it be- come that the manipulations accompanying it affect and determine the value of the staple. A contract, even when intended as a gam- bling venture, is made out, in form, for the delivery of the genuine article, and each con- tract specifies 45,000 puunds of cotton, in about one hundred square bales. Of course each contract assuines, in its phraseology, the purpose of delivering and receiving, but the true intent of the operator is simply that of adjusting differences in value at the time the contract falls due. Now, last year, outof the 25,000,000 bales of cotton sold in the New York Exchange,’only 160,000 bales were act- ually delivered, thus leaving 24,840,000 bales to be settled for by paying differences in values. The original purpose of cotton ex- changes was to benefit the planter in the dis- position of his crop before it was placed on the market, and then before it was picked, by enabling him to sell it for delivery at some future date at a price fixed, which he could use as a basis upon which t0 borrow money to gather and move incotton. This wasof great convenience, and assured to the lender a safer arrangement upon which to make his advances.{ But from this original and simple motive—that of aiding the planter and deal- ing in the actual commodity—there has grown up a stupendous system of speculation on fluctuating values. But aside from this speculative feature, the cotton exchanges possess many valuable characteristics, such as establishing uniformity in the classification of cotton, instituting just methods of dealing, fixing proper means of arbitration in case of controversy, and in disseminating useful in- formation concerning all cotton interests. They, further, settle upon rules and regula- tions affecting the condition in which cotton shall be packed and marketed, and the for- feiture depending on deviation from a cer- tain standard. For instance, seedy and fraud- ulently packed cotton is defined as bales con- taining foreign substances, water packed, and having damaged or inferior cotton in the interior without any indication of condition on the exterior. The penalty attached to this state of things is the right of rejection, and the cotton is not deliverable. In the case of mixed packed cotton in a bale, the whole bale shall be deemed of the grade of the poorest quality. For hoops, six are all that are allowed to a bale, and these must not exceed an ag- gregate of twelve pounds. Any excess of this must be removed from the package, if requested by the buyer, or the weight deduct- ed. All unnecessary bagging must be taken from the bale, or an equitable reduction made in weight; and unnecessary;bagging is under- stood to mean all that which is not essential for the proper protection of the cotton while in an uncompressed condition. Then, no bale shall be mousiterad merchantable that weighs less than three hundred ponnds. With the well-regulated system of cotton exchanges now in vogue, there is no doubt of its many benefits to the cotton interests of this and foreign countries, ——_——__>-4+- Fashions: in Carpets. There is a hint, at least, of a change in the fashions in carpets this season; more of a tendency toward light colors and brighter effects than has been noticed for some time, although the “high art” carpets, with their low, soft tones, are still adhered to by per- sons of genuinely artistic taste, who desire to subordinate their carpets to furnishing and decorating, rather than to have these articles a prominent part of the furnishing itself. Many of the finest and best styles are perfect copies of ancient tapestry, and they show all the effect both of color and design. Yellow finds high favor, especially the gold shades, and it is wonderful how this color, when used with discretion, will brighten and tone up a carpet, giving it just the touch of life that is needed. If it is used in too great profusion the effect is garish and loud, and the harmony of color destroyed. Through the Wiltons and Brus- sels of dark antique design there will be an outlining thread of gold color that sets the design at once in bigh relief, and gives a very lively effect to the carpet. The new Brussels carpets show ivory, cream, ecru, corn, biscuit and old gold grounds, with geometrical patterns nearly covering the ground work, leaving it visible only here and there. The designs are less conven- tional than they have been for some time, and even the newest Morris patterns are more flowing and less stiff than {they ever have been since they first came into promi- nence. The influence that has been felt in art embrordery is probably the same that is now conspicuous in wall paper and carpets. In place of stiff, stilted, separate designs, one sees more of the arabesque and scroll figures, known as Moorish and Charles* II. The new cretonnes also show much of the same effect, and all have a tendency in the same direction. In these modern days the best styles are not kept exclusively for the higher grade of carpet, but the same pattern, even the same coloring, is seen in Wiltons, velvets, Brus- sels and ingrains. The tapestry is sut generis and its designs remain always about the same, that is, in the same sense that elaborate floriated style. Tapestry is really not much jused, except for bed-room car- pets, and for this purpose it is handsome and suitable. The Brussels carpets are sold now at such reasonable prices, and are so effective in the occupying of the Wiltons, that they are preferred where Wiltons are out of the question for parlors, halls, and stairs, libraries and dining-rooms. Some of the handsomest of these carpets are in im- itation of antique rugs, and it is really won- derful how accurately not only the figures but the colors are reproduced in these mod- ern goods. The fancy fire rugs still obtain, and there certainly is a wide field for selection. Those who can afford them prefer, of course, the genuine antiques, or at least the modern Oriental rugs of fine quality, and these have been imported in large numbers during the year. Thousands of dollars worth have passed through the Boston custom house during the last year. A very handsome rug, in close imitation of the antique, is made in Scotland, by the Templetons, who make the most elegant Axminster carpets the world affords. . These rugs will wear like iron, and, as they are well dyed, they will grow beau- |. tiful with age, as the genuine antiques do. The Saxony rugs and carpets, with their solid colored centers and handsome borders, still hold their own, and are gaining in pub- lic favor. Nothing, however, has met with the success that has attended the ‘‘Ken- siugton Squares,” or ‘‘ Woodstock Carpets” as they are variously called. Being in in- grain, they are very reasonable in price, and they certainly are very artistic, and are really great assistants to good, inexpensive furnishing. They areso well known that no description of them is needed, but it isa pleasure to chronicle their continued success. ———— i - 9 Curiosities of the Wool Trade. From an English Exchange. The wool trade, though in magnitude it ranks below cotton, is far the more ancient and interesting of the two industries. Wool has been used for clothing from time im- memorial. Abel was a keeper of sheep, the patriarchs of Palestine and Syria were rich in flocks and herds, and there is abundant evidence to show that the Pruto- Helvetians, the lake-dwellers of Central Europe, kept sheep and carded wool when their weapons of warfare and the chase were stone hatchets and flint-headed arrows. The curious in such matters may see in Swiss museums bits of cloth and carding combs which are probably older than either the Temple of Solomon or the Tower of Babel. The widespread use of wool for clothing, of course, arises from the fact that sheep can live almost anywhere; and wherever sheep are found, the ingenuity of their owners has turned their fleeces to ac- count. The wool trade of these islands have gone through many phases. The latest phase was a revolution. British woolens were in yogue at Rome in the time of the Cesars, and less than a century since, British woolen cloths were made almost wholly of native grown material. At pres- ent we import for home consumption, taking one year with another, wool of an estimated value of some ten millions sterling, so greatly have the needs of our ever-waxing population outgrown the capacity of pro- duction. Yet, if we include our Australian aa ne ae ° z s mrs = oa x s ‘1 colonies, the British Empire is not alone a large wool-consumer, but produces nearly world put together. duces almost as much as France, and more than any other European country except France. The history of the Australian wool trade reads like aromance. It dates from 1810, when our Antipodian colonies shipped to England a single bale weighing 167 pounds. Fifty years later their exports were sixty million pounds. In 1865 they exceeded a hundred million; they are now more than three hundred and fifty million pounds and are ofja value of eighteen millions sterling. The wool trade of Aus- tralasia, as also of the Cape and India, so far follows the flag that, albeit much of the staple is consumed on the Continent, it nearly all travels to its destination by way of the Thames; not so much, however, be- cause of any sentimental affection enter- tained by squatters and shippers for the national emblem, as that London is the best and biggest wool market in the world. This arises in about equal measure from the freedom of our commerce, the superiority of our shipping, and the skill, energy and enterprise which have made the trade one of the best organized that the Empire possesses. ——_—___—~<>_0- << -— The Fastest on Record. “This train is a flyer,’? remarked a well- known drummer toa companion, “but I know of something that trayels faster than any railway train that ever moved.” “Anybody knows that,” said a grocery- man from Detroit. ‘‘Anybody knows that electricity,travels miles where railway trains move feet. So do light and sound.” But I know of something that travels fast- er than electricity, light or sound,” insisted the traveler. It’s thought.” “And I know fof a thing that beats thought,” spoke up a clothing man from Grand Rapids; “it’s profanity. The other day I was calling on my girl—a real nice, proper kind of a girl. Well, I up and swore like hades and demnition before I thought.” “Well, gentlemen,” said a farmer from near Ionia, ‘“‘profanity is pretty sudden, but 1 know of something that beats thought and swearing all to pieces.” “What is it?” ‘My hired man. The last time I was at home he was at work out in the field. Din- ner was ready, and we were sitting down, when I happened to think of the man. I got up to call him, and swore at him for not hav- ing sense enough to quit at noon. Then I went out to call him, and what do you think? An hour and a half before I even thought of him, or cussed him, he had quit work and was sitting on the porch waiting for dinner. He had beat thinking and swearing all to pieces.” COAL AND BUILDING MATERIALS. A. B.
