Fine Mechanical and Furniture Work, In- EDMUND B. DIKEMAN, ALBERT COVE & SONS, IMITATIONS OF LEATHEIF | How they Are palud Off Upon the Pub- lic for Footwear. | From the Rochester Democrat. “The oft-quoted statement,” said a veter- an. shoe dealer to a reporter yesterday after- noon, ‘*‘ There are tricks in all trades but ours’ is the completest fallacy ever perpe- trated upon an unsuspecting public. The fact is that there is no given trade in which cessfully worked.” “* Specify.” | “I will tell you a few in our business, for I am best informed upon the subject, having been in the wholesale manufacturing trade for 1 score of years. Right here let me tell you the cause of it. In any business there ers, and this makes it necessary for them to! economize and figure to reduce cost in the, the fortunate to wear fast horses.” “T see.” “Some years ago, there was arage for | cheapening goods. Cheap substitutes for ‘standard stock They found them, too.” ‘Do you know any local devices ? ” “IT do. A prominent manufacturer here, | who has a good reputation and does a busi- ‘ness amounting to hundreds of thousands ‘annually, devised a scheme some time ago which was destined to make large profits. He made a great many tipped shoes. The advantage is the extra protection to the toe, making two thicknesses of leather there, and giving better service, especially in children’s shoes. Well, this man cut off a piece of vamp at the toe, and joined the vamp and tip by stitching them as usual. The result was only one thickness of leather there, and when the tip was worn through there was a hole in the shoe.” “That surely could not make saving.” **Couldn’t, eh? it saved just so much whole stock, and reduced the estimated num- | ber of feet to the case. Then it saved the! best part of the skin, for the flanks cannot | be cut into vamps.’ “Was the trick discovered ‘ “ Unfortunately it was. er overstepped himself there, and the shoes | i which he sent out ripped badly. The conse- quence was that he had a lot of shoes to take back. He was money out in the end.” — “ What are some others ?” * Some manufacturers, in making doubie- soled men’s goods, have cut heel lifts out of the first sole, and filled it up with pasted stock or leather board. Then I’ve heard of cases where the tap-sole was reduced to a mere strip around the edge, with some cheap material for the center filling. Heels are often made almost entirely of cheap manu- factured stock. Only the best of shoes have sole leather counters.” “How about the uppers ? ” “There is exception everywhere. There is no prime stock made which has not an ac- companying imitation. There is imitation French kid, imitation Curacoa kid, imitation everything. More sheep-skins are made up to resemble kid than you would imagine. There is even imitation sheep-skin.”’ “ How can they be detected ? ” “Only by years of practice. No plain, or- dinary, every-day buyer can tell India kid from Curacoa. The India kid is made of sheep-skin.”’ “ And sold for genuine kid ?” “Often. It’s a conscientious dealer who will say “this shoe is not kid, but sheep- skin, made up to resemble kid.’”’ , * Are these deceptions practiced as much in Rochester as in other cities ? ” “No. Eastern towns are the hot-beds of shoddy shoes. Rochester shoes are general- ly good, but there are tricks of the trade everywhere. Come around again and [ll tell you some more.”’ +9 A Word With the € antes Dealer. From the Monetary Times. We make no apology for calling te the memory of the retail storekeeper little mat- ters which, if he attends to them now, may make a great difference in his balance sheet when the New Year comes: Are you a holder of boots and shoes, of grain, of wool, of butter, of furs ? Are you tempted by some genial com- mercial traveler to give him an order this week for a line of goods on which seven months time may be had? If so, would it not be wiser to refuse to speculate on future prices? Better stick, we should think, to four month’s terms and buy what you need only. Have you many outstanding accounts ? If you have, let nothing delay your making them out and pressing for payment. It is desirable at the time of low prices for many staples to have cash in hand so that you may buy at the best advantage when you see prices begin to rise. Are your expenses too large in proportion to the business you do? Do rent, taxes, fuel, light, clerk-hire, and family outlay ex- ceed the profit you make on your annual turn-over ? If they do, you may fairly be- gin to ask whether, as a merchant, your usefulness is not gone.

Bettet get rid of such stuff at one third of its cost than deceive yourself swelling your stock sheet with it, year after year. Are you arranging for stock-taking at the end of the year? Be sure you don’t take it in at prices beyond its value. Are you insured ? Do you keep a record of your notes ? Do you check your invoices ? Do you keep an order book ? Are you trying to sell for cash ? Is there any fire protection in your place ? ———-2<—_>—____— How Corks are Made. | From the American Bottler. The manufacture of corks by machinery Until a comparatively re- | cent date corks were cut by hand, and it | is in its infaney. | took an experienced workman a whole day | to finish a thousand marketable corks, with great waste of material. To-day a machine run by steam and attended by a small girl does fifty times the amount of work with un- erring precision and the smallest possible waste of material. Corks for the bottling cut out of the strips straight by a circular knife run upon a piston driven by steam. The operator simply presses the strip of cork against the knife, which cuts the cork out evenly and quickly, and deposits it in a shute leading to the receptacle for the fin- ished corks. The process is very simple, and a good operator, with first-class material finishes eighty thousand straight corks in a day with ease. All the shavings are care- fully collected and sold for yarious indus- trial purposes. The finished corks are as- sorted as to quality, those of the finest grade to be without any flaw, and are ready for | the market. Tapered corks, mostly for | smaller bottles and vials, are calculated to | 'be used oftener than once. They have to | pass through a second cutting process. Like | all the work in a modern cork cutting estab- | lishment, that of giving a conical shape to | the cork is done by amachine driven by | steam. The automatical cutter is a rapidly- | revolving horizontal steel disk running un- ; der a clasp, into which the straight-cut cork is inserted by hand. ‘The clasp can be regu- late?.*o press the cork against the sharp edges of the disk in any angle correspond- ing to the shape to be obtained. The finish- ed corks dropinto one receptacle and the shavings into another. >.> —— Simply Quiet—Not Panic. From the Shoe and Leather Review. It would seem as if the merchants of this country—not only boot and shoes merchants, but all—ought to have learned the lesson of prudence from the experiences of the past ten or twelve years. Aud the evidence goes to show that they have. It is simply this. During the panic of and the ‘hard times” that followed, everybody went. ilt- erally to pieces—in slang, but very express- ive parlance, ‘‘got badly rattled.” But 2? For a year past, ~ ‘ 3 what are the facts now ? not only this country but the whole world has been passing through an ordeal of hard times equally as bad as those of ten years ago. The bank troubles last May were un- precedented for severity, but strong men who had learned the lesson of prudence from experience, kept their wits about them and pulled the country through. In addi- tion to this, take an election year, an open winter and various other ills, and the con- dition of things now is wonderfully satisfac- tory. ‘There is simgly quiet—not panic. —~—o—-o-<-—- The Wire Age. In history we have the golden age, the iron age, the age of brass, and other periods similarly marked. Future annalists may well describe the present period of our his- tory as the wire age. In no part of the economy of our daily lives are we divorced from wire. It is our slave, and yet an ever present mas- ter. Sleeping, we repose on wire mattresses. Eating, we see foods which have passed through sieves, and which are sheltered from insect appetite by wire covers. Calling, we pull wires to ring curled wire gongs. Tray- eling, we are conveyed by cable or electric railways, hoisted by elevators hung on wires and hurried over wire bridges. We an- nounce our coming by telegraph or telephone wires, and thread our way by night through streets lighted by means of electric cables. Across our fields are strung thousands of miles of barbed wire. Our clocks are set by wires, our watches are run by wires, our books are stiched with wires, our pictures hung by wires, and our politics managed by wires. ——_—__ > An Ohio Decision on the Oleomargarine Question. A law in Ohio prohibits under severe pen- alties the selling of any article as butter or cheese which is not made from pure cream or milk, and requires that such article shall be stamped with the names of its various ingredients. Ina suit against an oleomar- garine maker for violation of the statute, the defense entered a plea that the law was so far invalid that it was an infringement of the rights of a maker under a United States patent which included the privilege Are there not dark corners, | to make and sell. of wine and beer are not tapered, but are) United States patent did not enable a per- | son to violate any of the health laws of a, state, and the right of a state or a communi- , ie : ; sentation to secure credit on a purchase of ty to prevent the sale of articles deemed in- jurious to healtn was unquestioned in law. It was further decided that a state had the right to prohibit the manufacturefof articles under a United States patent if it prohibited the manufacture of all similar articles made without a patent. It was only when a state diseriminated against a patented article that a person could properly claim that his rights had been infringed upon by the state legis- lature. This decision isin principle of wide application.

Now, what would you do in a case of that kind?” : “T reckon I’d limp, too.” Speaking of “medicine by imagination,” a writer in the Progress Medical says that doctors should not tell hypochondriacle pa- tients that their trouble is imaginary, but should treat it as though it were a real dis- ease. “Those who perform miraculous cures,” he says, ‘do not deny the malady, but state that they will cure it by the aid of a higher power; sometimes a cure is thus effected, and when we say it is faith which saves, we use a phrase which is a rigorously scientific expression. To deny miracles is no longer in question, but to comprehend and seek to imitate them.” —__-—____ <> -@- <> In no ote. branch of the business of the country has the inerease been so wonderful as in that of the dairy. It is enly a very few years since the quantity of cheese man- ufactured in this country amounted to no more than 60 or 70 million pounds, three- quarters of which were exported. Now the annual production reaches nearly 450 mil- lion pounds, of which only one-fourth is ex- ported, the remainder being consumed at home.

The match business was a huge monopoly for years, but they are now very cheap compared with what they were when the inventor con- trolled the manufacture. Louisiana sugar planters are badly fright- ened at the prospect of a ratificaiion of the commercial treaty with Spain, which admits Cuban sugar free.

A 5 | Thiscreasoning the court | WwW hose | held to be unsound, as the possession of a Important Decision Affecting Debtors and Creditors. ‘ A recent decision of the Supreme Court of | Minnesota is of considerable interest to mer- ‘chants. It was a question of false repre goods. The action was brought by the plain- tiff to recoyer certain goods which had been seized by the defendant, as sheriff, as the property of one Bauman. It appeared that Bauman applied to the plaintiff’s traveling agent to purchase certain goods on credit, that the agent requested Bauman to state how he stood, and that the latter answered that he had $3,000 in his business, consisting of mer- chandise and book accounts, and $300 in cash. This statement being submitted to the plain- tiff, he, upon the strength of it, shipped to Bauman the goods which he had ordered. It appeared also that at the time the statement was made, Bauman was indebted in his busi- ness to the amount of $2,100, a faet which he omitted to state. The question was whether the property in | sale was voidable at the election of the plain- | tiff. The latter view was taken by the court, | stances ‘widow, in the front pew, emerging from her; which, in affirming judgment against the de- fendant, said: “It is, doubtless, the general rule that the purchaser, when buying on cre@- it, is not bound to disclose the facts of his financial condition. If he makes no actual mis- representation; if he is not asked any ques- tions and does not give any untrue, evasive or partial answers, his mere silence as to his general bad pecuniary condition or his in~ debtedness will not constitute a fraudulent. concealment. But this was not a case of mere passive non-disclosure. the agent’s inquiry clearly was to ascertain Bauman’s financial condition and ability to pay. Bauman’s statement was in response to that inquiry, and when he undertook to - answer, he was bound to tell the whole truth, and was not at liberty to give an. evasive or misleading answer, which, al- though literally true, was partial, containing only one-half the truth, and ealeulated to convey a false impression. * Con- eealment of this kind, under the cirewn- amounts to a false representation.” This is an equitable judgment, and a com- mon sense decision. While it is true that a purchaser need not volunteer information as to his financial standing, yet there is in this case, as there frequently is in others, just that difference which will not exempt him from setting forth his actual condition. * - There are probably many lawyers who differ with this judgment of the Supreme Court of Minnesota; but as good law is founded on common sense, we may expect that this wilFs ' stand. requires | ~~>- > Wanted—Business Confidence, If we stop a moment to consider the condition of the country, we can read- ily see that we are in possession of al} the needful facilities for carrying forward a* most successful business. Money is abun- dant, and can be obtained at alow rate of interest. Our mines of precious metals are still rich and are producing satisfactorily. We have plenty of raw materials of every desepription. Our manufacturing plants are sufficient to supply the ‘requirements of a very extensive home and export trade. Our farmers have been favored with an excep- tionably large crop. Our carrying facilities both by rail and water were never better, and the charges for transportation are very low. We are at peace with all the world. National taxes are being rapidly reduced, and local taxes are not oppressive. ‘The ma- jority of our traders and manufacturers are | solvent, the weak and rotten concerns being pretty well weeded out. The supplies of materials in the hands of the manufacturers and middlemen are not overabundant, if we except one or two classes of manufacturers which seem, in view of the restricted trade of the present, to bein exeess of our re- quirements. What, then, is needed to give a revivifying influence to business? I¢ is not capital for that is abundant. It is not facilities, for we have all needed means for carrying on a most extensive foreign and domestic traffic. Itis not lack of need of productions, for the wants of our fifty millions of people are daily multiplying. We want eonfidence. — —>-¢ Had Regular Habits. A New York merchant called at the office of a brother merchant, and said: “A young man, hamed Smithers, has ap- plied to me for a position.

Tbe gambler is a thief from principle. “The man who sells “margins” is a thief from cowardice. Both deserve the condem- nation and execration of every honest man in the community. Three hundred travelers—what a power they have in the aggregate to assist in the growth and welfare of any city! And how well they have exercised that prerogative in regard to Grand Rapids! ea eee emma Kalamazoo is to be congratulated, if the . reports sent out from that place relative to the prosperity of her manufactories are to ‘ pe relied upon. The correspondents declare with seeming sincerity that every factory in the city is now ‘‘in full blast.” The business depression of the past eigh- teen months has now reached the culminat- ing point, and before the grass is green again business will have resumed much of its old- time vigor. Let every dealer put his best foot forward, and the result will surely be a return to business confidence and activity. —— Nothing tends to demoralize trade so much and to create hard times as the ery of hard times. The habit of anticipating, of saying, “JY told you so,” and ““You will see,’ does more to create distrust in business circles than do all the failures in the country. A hhopeful outlook, a spirit that says the busi- ness horizon is dull but not dark, an express- ed confidence in the present and in the fu- ture, will do more to revive trade than any- thing else that can be done. Oy peienaen ona emaeatereamneneemeariaatameel The list of local trayeling salesmen, pub- lished on another page of this week’s issue, is one in which every business man of the place may take a reasonable degree of pride. faken as a whole, the traveling men who go out of this market are above the average in intelligence, ability and geniality; and it is not placing too high an estimate on their services to state that much of the wonderful growth and substantial prosperity of the city are to be attributed to their persistent efforts and untiring industry. Considering the great number of available docations in this State, it is little less than wonderful that more attention has not been given to the cultivation of the cranberry. The field to be supplied is almost exhaust- Jess, and prices are always high, considering the relative cost of producing the berry, with other fruits. Farmers whoare in possession of a marsh which can be flooded during the winter and spring months might turn their attention to the cranberry, in preference to wheat or corn, and find the results much more satisfactory. While Mayor Belknap is turning his at- tention to the numerous gambling establish- anents, it might be well for him to make ‘himself acquainted with the no less damning anfluences of the bucket shops. Men who would not be seenin gambling dens fre- quent the places where “margins” are sold with impunity and become as infatuated ov- er “speculation” as greenhorns do over the gambling table. The results are usually worse than in the less genteel establishments, as the amounts lost are frequently greater. Grand Rapidsis poorer by hundreds of thousands of dollars through this medium, and the bitter experience of four years ago, coupled with numerous warning at intervals ever since, ought to convince our people that +he man who operates.a bucket shop is an enemy to prosperity, to the good of society, and to every principle incident to a business The course now pursued by the Daily Democrat and other newspapers of the alarmist variety is contemptible and mislead- ing to an unusual degree, and should receive the disapproval of every thinking man. Continual harping about hard times tends only to make the times harder, and the sup-’ pression of every piece of news indicating an improvement in the business situation is unfair and cowardly. Speaking of this sub- ject, the Chicago Current pertinently re- marks: “As in an audience, when some per- son has shouted ‘Fire! itis the duty of brave-hearted men to stand up and command the people to avoid commotion, so in these times of disturbed commercial. distribution it devolves on the American press to print and discuss all evidences of prosperity and comfort that may be at hand—matters ordi- narily considered too common for public mention. Thus, if 12,000 men have, within a fortnight, been thrown out of work in the Cleveland region, it is of vital importance that the people should know 12,000 unem- ployed men were put at work in the same region during the same fortnight, as really happened. The recent bank clearings have once more started on the rise toward a_ bil- lion dollars a week, and no country with this volume of business can be anything but prosperous.” AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY. A. W. Conkle has engaged in the grocery business at Remus. Cody, Ball & Co. fur- nished the stock. W. M. Wood, druggist at Six. Lakes, has added a line of groceries, purchasiug his stock of Shields, Bulkley & Lemon. The Farmer Roller Mill Co. has a capacity of two mills per day, and has four men on the road respresenting the merits of the roller. Jacob Barth will remain in his present lo- cation until Febuary 16, when he will re- move to the store now occupied by Mrs. A. L. Lord. “Genuine cow’s butter has not been so cheap at this time of the year for twenty years before,” said a leading produce dealer, the other day. John Wingler has re-engaged in the gro- cery business at Lowell under the name of Mrs. S. A. Wingler. Clark, Jewell & Co. furnished the stock. The Church Finish Co.’s new mill is now nearly completed, and it is expected that ev- erything will be in readiness to begin opera- tions about January 1. Geo. Stevens has engaged in the grocery business at Alpine and Mrs. E. Phillipps has engaged in the same business at Shelby. John Caulfield furnished both stocks. The cracker manufacturers announce an- other reduction of 1g¢ in crackers, making a decline of a full cent within the last thirty days. Sweet goods are also off a full cent. Henry A. Hydorn, for several years past in the employ of Whitworth & Alden, has purchased the grocery stock and fixtures of M. J. Ulrich, at 33 West Bridge street, and will continue the business at that location. Second-hand clothing men are doing a good business in overcoats taken in when dusters were popular. However, the pawn- brokers are not selling many watches or dia- monds. ‘Times are hard and people can do without luxuries. Much jewelry fis being pawned and many cheap watches are offered that are not desirable. It is reported that the Berkey & Gay Fur- niture Co. will place a line of cheap furni- ture on the market in time for the spring trade, with the intention of competing with the Widdicombs and McCord & Bradfield in that branch of the business. They will make five patterns of ash and maple suites, turning out 1,000 suites of each style. The anticipated decline in hides came last week, the fall averaging about Yc all around. Dealers have been expecting a downward turn of the market for some time past, and were, consequently, well prepared for it. They also gavetheir customers the benefit of their knowledge, thus enabling them to unload whatever stocks they might have on hand. The Grand Rapids Wheelborrow Co. has turned out 20,000 barrows and 500 dozen suow shovels the present season. Nearly all the shovels have been sold and only about 4,000 barrows remain in stock, a portion of them being in process of construction at the present time. It is the intention of the com- pany to manufacture 25,000 barrows next year, and to cultivate an export trade. Mrs. Anna L. Lord was closed up _ last week by Spring & Co. and Geo. C. Wilmot, whose claims amount to $750 and $1,800, re- spectively. The stock was bid in by both creditors at $2,000, $550 less than the face of their claims, and an opportunity was giv- en the unsecured creditors to take the stock at the same valuation, which offer they re- fused. The unsecured claims amount to about $2,000, and there is no probability that the owners will ever realize any portion of them. If you bet a box of cigars, have it distinct- ly understood how many cigars there shall be in the box. Certain gentlemen in this city, by neglecting this precaution, have lately been highly surprised. They won their bets but when they came to get their cigars they received little boxes, containing twenty-five of the weeds. ‘To be sure, these were boxes of cigars, and it is doubtful if there is any remedy for the disappointed bettors. It is gars and cigars, it is a stupid blunder incase of bets not to spécify the amount wagered “That sort of thing won’t work this time,” said a leading jobber and shrewd business man the other day, referring to a request from an out-of-town customer that he take up a certain paper maturing next month, as the dealer would be absent from home at the time. “I looked into the matter,” con- tinued the jobber, ‘‘and found that the man who wanted us to take care of his paper was arranging fora pleasure trip to New Orleans. I stayed home from the Centen- nial in order to meet our customers’ paper, but I’ll be cussed if they can come it on me that way this winter. I’m going to New Or- leans myself.” AROUND THE STATE. F.

Leach, of Traverse City, was seen by a reporter of THE TRADESMAN the other day, and questioned relative to the success of his experiment in cranberry culture on the marsh land near Walton Junction. He stated that-it was too soon to set the under- taking down as a success or a failure, as it re- quires fully four years to mature the plants for bearing. He has now several acres of swamp land under cultivation, having secur- ed considerable quantities of Cape Cod and native plants, and there is every indication that the result will be amply satisfactory. The location selected is peculiarly adapted for the purpose, being so situated as to en- able him to keep the plants flooded during the winter and spring, and unless some unforseen difficulty arises, Mr. Leach will soon be in a position to supply the Michigan markets with choice, home-grown berries. It will be news to many dealers to learn that Northern Michigan has now one exten- ; sive eranberry marsh in successful cul- tivation, and that two others in the same locality are nearing that end. Dr. W. H. Walker, of Fon du Lac, Wis., has ten acres of cranberries under cultivation near Glen Arbor, Leelanau county, and gentle- men named Grobben and Barton have en- gaged in the same business on a larger scale near Leland. Dr. Walker’s yield last sea- son was enormous, averaging 120 barrels to the acre, and in places reaching a_ barrel to | the square rod. He is rapidly increasing | his bearing capacity, and will soon haye one of the largest cranberry marshes in the west. The cultivation of the berry is also | earried on near Cheboygan, and also near | Sault St. Marie.

A gentlemanly merchant traveler ona train met a lady and politely rendered her such assistance that she reciprocated by per- mitting him to talk to her. He became quite friendly, and desired to know where she liv- ed and who she was. “Oh,” she replied, “I am only an ordinary little woman but my friends persist in try- ing to make me somebody.” “Ah,” was his gallant answer, ‘‘L am sure they act quite wisely and in good taste.” “You flatter me, sir, and yet I have no doubt a band will meet me at the station when I arrive in Cincinnati.” “Indeed?” he replied in open-eyed aston- | ishment. ‘Yes, and the same band is always ready to meet me. Isn’t that flattering?” “Very, my dear Miss; but may I ask what band it is that is always so honored?” “Oh, yes, certainly; it is a husband,” He caught on the arm of the seat for a| minute, and then went into the next car and bumped his head on the woodbox.” i ee . a i Some Observations by Will Lamoreaux.

__— Medical papers are full of accounts of ex- periments with hydrochlorate of cocoaine, the new local angsthetic, the great value of which in operations on the eye was demon- strated last September... A few drops only of a four per cent. solution are applied at in- tervals to the seat of operation, where they arrest for the time all sense of pain without having any effect whatever upon the con- sciousness of the patient. It 1s likely, in the opinion of many of our surgeons, to bea great blessing for those persons who are un- able to withstand the effects of chloroform or ether. <> -9- <> ----- ~ A solution of chloride of lead is recom- mended as an efficient disinfectant for all places. It may readily be obtained from the nitrate of lead and common salt, as follows: Take half a dram of nitrate of lead dissolvy- ed in a pint or more of boiling water, and dissolve two drams of common salt ina pail or bucket of water. Pour the two solu- tions together, and allow the sediment to subside. The clear fluid is the saturated solution of chloride of lead. Its cost is tri- fling, and its effects as a deodorizer are in- stantaneous. —_—.. +2.

Pure menthol is entirely soluble in alcohol, but stearine, paraffine, and similiar bodies are insoluble. The test is simple. Use hot alcohol in which a weighed quantity of the article is heated; on cooling, the alcoholic solution is poured of, when the weight of the fatty body will show the percentage or quantity used. Unless pure menthol is us- ed, the beneficial effects are not realized. —_—_——_—>-9-—s————— The G. W. C.

A MERCANTILE JOURNAL, PUBLISHED EACH WEDNESDAY. FE. A. STOWE & BRO., Proprietors. OFFICE IN EAGLE BUILDING, 3d FLOOR. {Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter. . __WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1884. BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. REPRESENTATIONS—PLEDGE BONDS. An indictment for false pretences will lie fo falsely and fraudulently representing that certain railroad bonds are of a certain value whereby a sum of money is obtained on the pledge thereof, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of California in the case of the People ys. Jordan. FALSE OF CHATTEL MORTGAGE—FRAUD ON CREDI- TORS. A chattel mortgage on a stock of goods which authorises the mortgagor to retain possession and carry on his business by buy- ing and selling goods, is void as to creditors and purchasers of the mortgagor or his as- signee, according to the decision of the II- linois Appellate Court in the case of Yager et al. vs. Mersinger. AWARD—RIGHT TO REOPEN, A promise made by arbitators, subsequent to their award, to reopen the arbitration and to hear other evidence for the unsuccessful cannot effect the award,for the reason, accord ing to the Kentucky Courtof Appeals, that he power of the arbitators to act in the matter ceases on the return of the award. Whit- tock vs. Ledford, decided Nov. 29. LANDLORD AND TENANT—AGREEMENT. Where there is a contract whereby prop- erty is rented for one year only, coupled with the further agreement that at the ex- - piration of that year the landlord and tenant shall regard a new renting for another year as sgreed on unless there is a previous dis- sent, a permitted holding over by the tenant isan assent of both parties to the contract for the first year as the contract for the sec- ond year, and will bind both as firmly as if there had been a formal contract entered in- . to for the second year. So held by the Ken- tucky Snperior Court in the case of Unger vs. Bamberger, decided on December 1. CORPORPORATIONS—LIABILITY HOLDERS. Where the charter of a corporation pro- vides that the corporation shall not incur in- debtedness in excess of a certain amount, neither the board of directors nor a majori- ty of the member of the corporation can yio- iate this provision of the charter and make the individual stockholders \jable to them in excess of the amount fixed by the charter, according to the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in the Case of Haldeman et al. vs. Ainslie et al., decided on the 29th ult. In this case a director of a corporation who had created debts for the benefit of the corporation in excess of the amount allowed by the charter, and had been compelled to satisfy the indebtedness thus created, was held not entitled to contribution from the stockholders of the corporation, although it was held that the original creditors might have recovered of the stockholders. OF STOCK- AGREEMENT—ALLOWANCE OF CHARGES. Where the owner of a quantity of petro- jeum delivered it for storage to a company formed for the purpose of transporting and storing such oil, and it was agreed by the owner and the company that certain allow- ances should be made for evaporation and certain charges be paid for storage, the Su- preme Court Commission of Ohio held, in an actich by the owner against the company for an alledged converion of the oil to its ase, that the allowance agreed upon for evaporation and the amount due for storage were proper subjects of counter claim by the company. The court further held that the conversion of the oil made the company lia- ble for its value, subject to all allowances and charges agreed upon in the receipts of storage, and that the owner could not defeat the right of the company to make such al- dowances and charges acounter claim by bringing his action as one for trover at com- mon law. The Cow Run Iron Tank Co. vs. i,ehmer, decided December 2. $< In His Wife’s Name. ““Ts Colonel Messmore in?” “Yes, sah! but ef dat’s de grocery bill, yer better not present it to-day sah.” “Yes, but this is the fifth time I’ve been put off. This bill’s been due for six months.” “Tawd, boss, dat’s nuffin. Dat’s too young yit fur to get paid. Ise got some nine-year- ole bills awaitin’ now.” “Well, that’s discouraging.” “Kan’t help it, sah. Ise de kurnel’s pri- vit secretary, and dat am der conditions ob dis house. All de kurnels money’s in his wife’s name and that’s fur why he’s so in- derpendent.” ——_—_—_—__ 2 <>__ Experimenters in England have shown that gas and oil are about equally good for light-hoyses. and that the electric light is su- perior to either in fine weather, but proba- bly not so good in fogs. Because trade is a severe trial to honesty —too severe for the endurance of all men— is no proof that itis unfavorable to moral growth.

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.

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.

Blain, who has lately retured from New Orleans, states that itis folly for a dealer to consign produce of any kind to that city until he makes himself acquainted with the wants of the trade there. Goods which are esteemed first-class here in the North are hardly-salable there, while varieties of fruits and vegetables not esteemed here find ready sale at good prices. Particularly is this the case with sweet apples, which are grabbed up by dealers as soon as they ar- rive, while Greenings and other excellent va rieties of winter apples are compelled to go begging for a purchaser. A Port Huron dealer shipped seven carloads of apples South a short time ago, and refused an offer of $2 per barrel at Memphis, preferring to take his chances on the New Orleans mar- ket. He paid forty cents per barrel ad- ditional freight charges, and found slow sale at New Orleans at $1.65 per barrel, a clean loss of at least 50 cents per barrel. Michigan Early Rose potatoes are selling there for less than they cost, transportation and com- mission added, and so with nearly every ar- ticle with which thé North is glutting the market. ‘The influx of visitors later in the season will doubtless remedy the evil to a considerable extent, but the experience of Michigan shippers during the past few weeks should serve as a warning to those who contemplate making consignments to New Orleans without first ascertaining whether there is an active demand for the goods. ———-_ >_> How to Handle Potatoes Properly. From the American Marketman. It is no wonder that complaints are so numerous from consumers that potatoes are bitter, dark and soggy when brought to the table. It is acommon practice, especially in the western states, for farmers, after dig- ging, to gather in heaps on the field and al- low them to remain uncovered or unprotect- ed in the open air and sun for days ata time and sometimes weeks. This, coupled with the habit some grocers have of keeping large quantities setting around the store and out on the sidewalk for show, would spoil the best potatees ever grown. It would be just as sensible to lay eggs in the hot sun. Po- tatoes, or for that matter all tubers, should be keptin a dark cool place, preferably a. dark cellar. Light, independent of direct sunshine, is death tothe flavor and quality of potatoes, yet go where you will it seems to be the lightest place around the store or market that is allotted to the tubers, espec- ially potatoes. Another bad practice is the rough handling and shoveling they get, which bruises them so that when cooked they are sure to be black and soggy. Try to have your white potatoes handled at least with as much care as your sweets. You will find then that your customers will be less apt to find fault. 2. 2 Spoiled Goods, The following wholesome remarks, from the Chicago Purchasing Agent, will apply to other articles in the grocery line as well as canned goods: We note with regret the disposition of some parties in the trade to “kick” ona purchase*of canned Goods, simply because they find a few swells inthem. Gentlemen, this is not right. If you have made a pur- chase and there are swells, you don’t lose by it. You simply donate the price of exam- ination. How would you feel if everyone of your customers were to return goods which you had been at the expense and trouble and labor to sell and ship. There must be some courtesy extended in your commercial re- lations with each other, or else let all busi- ness intercourse cease. The Purchasing Agent speaks simply in a fraternal manner. It gives no names, nor refers to any locality. Those who are meant will know it, when they read this article, and we give the assur- ance that all is written with the best inten- tion and kindest motiyes. Don’t allow any one to influence you by lower prices to try to vi- tiate a purchase already made and _ received under the pretext of spoilage, but report all unmerchantable or spoiled goods and pay for the rest like “‘littie men.” Fun Ahead forthe Oleomargarine Manu- oe facturers. The oleomagayine manufacturers are be- coming considerably nettled over late French and English decisions sustaining the Mege patent for making the article. The French decision is a very broad one, obliging manu- facturers working under other patents to pay tribute to the Mege owners; and also rendering liable to suits for damages those who have sold other oleomargarine. It is al- together probable that infringement suits will again be revived in this country. It is not improbable that a grand monopoly of the business will be inaugurated. 2 The Grocery Market. The grocery business has held out well during the past week, and collections have been exceptionally good, considering the times. The staples have been remarka- bly steady, a notable firmness in raisins be- ing the only exception. —— -2-<— - Potatoes Wanted. 1 will pay the highest market price for choice Rose, Burbanks and White Star po- tatoes delivered on board cars at any point south of Cadillac.

If they do, we should like to know whatacanary bird thinks of a woman who stands up in a chair and talks baby talk through the brass wires of the Order Cost of Roasted Coffee Bought Green. The following table, if cut out and pre- served, will save the grocer considerable un- certainty and figuring. The writer has us- ed it fora number of years and ean vouch for its accurracy, it being his own method. Coffee will lose 15 per cent. in roasting by the dry process, which is the only way it ev- er should be done. The price charged by roasters is generally 14 cent per pound, and on this basis the table is.computed. Know- ing the price paid for green coffee by a glance at the table the cost when roasted will be apparent. 10 cts. per lb. green. 12 6-17 cts. roasted. il cts. * ‘¢ 13 9-17 ets. ot Bets. .* “14 12-17 ets. - 18ets. * “15 15-17 ets. = l4ects. ‘“ * Az 1-1% ets: ts 15ets. “ 18 4-17 ets. ny 1éets. * “19 7-17 ets. rs 17 ets. - ‘20 10-17 ets. ° 18 ets. gs 21 18-17 ets.

A couple of ladies were discussing the subject of-Christmas presents for their re- spective husbands the other day, when one said: “What present are you -going to make your husband?”’ “Oh, I shall present him with a lovely box of cigars. You know he is so fond of smok- ing.” “IT should not do that. Why, you can get a much nicer present than that, which will not cost so much and will last much longer. Besides, the cigars would encourage him in a bad habit.” “Oh, but I don’t know about that. You see when Henry comes home from the lodge late I always go through his pockets, and usually find a lot of cigars, and I have saved them until I have over a box, and am going to give them back to him and buy a new bonnet with the cash.” —_——- -0- <> -__- Mule meat is a favorite dish in Paris and brings high prices. There are twenty-five packing house in Chicago with a capacity of nearly seventy- five thousand hogs per diem. The sale of “butter” in New York aggre- gates annually about 100,000,000 pounds of which, says the United States commissioner of agriculture, between 40,000,000 and 60,- 000,000 pounds are manufactured. There is storage room in the various ele- vators of Chicago for 23,625,000 bushels, be- sides this, the various lake craft laid up in our rivers during the winter provide an ad- ditional storage capacity of not less then 10,000,000, making a total capacity of 33,- 625,000 bushels. Now look out for frozen potatoes around the store on cold nights, and also keep an eye on the bottle goods in the window and on the shelves, liquid blue especially. Keep the store warm for your goods as well as for your customers, as they don’t relish standing around to freeze for half an hour. The trees upon which nutmegs grow look like small pear-trees, and are generally not over twenty feet high. The flowers are very much like the lily of the valley. They are pale and very fragrant. The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and mace is the thin coy- ering over the seed. The fruit is about the size of a peach. When ripe it breaks open and shows a little nut inside. The trees grow on the islands of Asia and_ tropical America. They bear fruit seventy or eighty years, and have ripe fruit upon them all the season. A tree in Jamacia has over 4,000 nutmegs on it every year. HIDES, PELTS AND FURS. Perkins & Hess quote as foLows: HIDES. PORN. ee Bbh6 @7 Part Cureg. oo oo.

Oné street | is called Furlong street, because it is just eight miles long, reaching from Slabtown on the west to Grumbleton on the east. The other street is called Damlongue street. This isa French word signifying “extended.”’ It was named by the first ped- ler who ever struck the town on foot, with a %5 pound pack. The street extends from Indiana to the Straits of Mackanack. This city evidently contains the germs of a big manufacturing place. 1st, we have ample water power, to fill steam boilers with. 2nd, wehaveacant hook factory capa- ble of turning out 50 handles aday. This is run by horse power. 3d, we havea saw mill anda grist mill run by steam. The population is 176! soles. The half sole is the widder Crinkle’s half witted son, whitch the superviser put down as half a sole. New business houses are starting all the time, every few months. Other particulars I will tell you in future letters. I am afraid I can’t get to go to Grand Rap- pids for Crissmas after all. They have got ‘me appinted on three or four committys for the big festivall we are going to have Criss- mas to help raiz money to buy a bell for the church. Iam oneof the committy on re- freshments, dishes and spoons, general man- agement and amusements. I must tend to it all in good shape, two, becoss I must keep sollid with our church just now, on account of the post offiss. Old Potts is still working to git it. We neadabell bad, to,as we have had to use a bar of iron hung to a tree in front of the church for the sexton to strik on with a hammer. How prone peeple are to badness, Bro. Stowe, for I understand that that miserable infiddle, Bob. Ingersole, don’t have to have a bell to call his hearers together and he charges the outrageus price of $1.00, too, for folks to hear him. Awful, ain’t it? We had an accession to our biziness and population this week,in the shape of a young chap from Grand Rappids who has opened a barber shop on Furlong street, just east of Trotter’s black smith shop. His name is Ed. Smikes and he seems to bea pretty nice feller. He patternized me the first thing for some soap, bay rum, caster ile and alcohol. He also got a little receipt filled for a friend of his, whitch he said had a bad cold in his head, and a coff. He said his friend was not able to be out, so he got the medicin. Smikes remarked that colds was terribul eppedemic in Grand Rappids this winter, whitch makes me most afraid to gothere for fear of catching some such contageous disor- der. I preserved a coppy of the receipt, and as it might come handy to your readers, 1 send it to you. SMIKES’ COUGH BALSAM. Rn Balsam Copabia 1 of. Oil Cubebs 4% OZ Tincture Kino Yy O64. Mucilage 1% oz.

It took every blamed drop of mucilage I had in my offiss bottle to fill out the receipt, and I had to bother to get the dead flies out, too, and all the dirt possibul, but I had to do it, because Smikes wood not let me put in honey in place of the mucilage. He said his friend wanted the mucilage in because it was so healing to the wind pipe. I told him that 1 thought that mucilage has a tendency to trausubstantiate the Hy- . dragabulation of the conjunctification. He said he diddend care a cuss if it did, his friend could stand it. Bizness is slitely gaining, but money seems to still hang back like election returns from the Andirondracks. My oponan ton the oposite corner is doing no better and that is some comfort. Tue TRIDSMAN is just the boss paper. I don’t see how I ever got along without it previously before. I had rather try to do bizness without my counters now than without your paper.
