MANUFACTURING MATTERS. | Rondo—The Partridge saw mill has cut | 450,000 feet of hardwood lumber for Mc- | Bride, of Flint. | Kitehi—Caulkins & Canfield have be- |; gun work on a shingle mill on the Du- luth, South Shore & Atlantic Railway, | near this place.

Marcellus—Several business men have formed a stock company for the purpose ;of manufacturing a patented washing machine, and will at once commence work on a factory building. Mt. Pleasant—Horning & Root have shut down their sawmill temporarily, having cut 1,500,000 feet. Their head- ing mill is running with a full force of men and a full stock of timber. Bay City—A. M. Miller, of this city, has contracted to furnish a Chicago firm 12,000 cords of wood, cut one foot in length. It will be cut at the old heading factory on the Belt Line and shipped to Chicago by rail.

It has a daily capacity | of 40,000 feet, and is in every way a bet- ter plant than the one occupying the same | Site, which was burned. | | Farwell—James McLellan has cut 100,- |000 feet of lumber at his sawmill and | shut down, but will operate his shingle ‘mill through the season. The mill is | stocked from timber land near Sears, | purchased by Asa Leonard. | Ann Arbor—The Combination Screen | & Awning Manufacturing Co., to manu- | facture and sell screens and awnings, has | been organized by Charles J. Stelhoby, Herbert Randall, Isaac B. Bent and Guy |B. Thompson. Capital stock, $10,000. Manistee—McKillip & Co. started up their mill Monday of last week, and were | 1 the last to swing into line. They have been delayed by the machinery for their new band mill. They now have two bands in operation, which make avery complete outfit. Muskegon—The Kelley Brothers Man- ufacturing Co. has secured the contract to furnish all the wood work for the Par- melee building, Cleveland, a nine-story office structure. The job includes win- dow and door frames, sash, doors, trim and floors. The flooring will amount to 80,000 feet. West Bay City—H. W. Sage has pur- chased of F. W. Wheeler 40 acres of land just north of the latter’s ship yard on the river front, the reported consideration being $20,000. It is intimated that the property is to be utilized for manufac- turing purposes. Itis the site formerly occupied by the old Smith mill plant. Manistee—Filer & Sons now occupy their new office, built upon the site of the old one, burned last winter. It the most complete of its kind in the city, and there are few better .to be found anywhere in the country. At the mill they have among other items an order for 800,000 feet of choice thick white pine, to go to Tonawanda. is Manistee—Salt isa very desirable ar- ticle at present, and is being forwarded in large quantities.

Saginaw—Rupp & Kerr and A. P. Brewer & Sons, of this city, are reported to have sold 8,000,000 feet of logs in Che- boygan waters to James Millen, of Black river, manager for Alger, Smith & Co, Mr. Millen recently contracted with Che- boygan parties to saw about that quantity of logs, and the presumption is it is the lot purchased of the parties named.

The cor- poration has a capital stock of $25,000, of which $14,000 has been subscribed, the stockholders being L. Perrigo, Chas. P. Perrigo, Wm. P. Perrigo, James B. Harden and Morris B.

Cadillac—The details of the arrange- ment for cutting the Blodgett pine are now completed, and the largest tract of pine in Michigan will be cut in Cadillac under the joint management of W. W. Cummer and D. F. Diggins. The money paid to the laborers engaged in manufac- turing the pine will amount to about $17,- 000 per month, which, in the eight years required to complete the cutting, will amount to at least $1,600,000. The work of logging the pine will be begun during this month. arrange- pushed harder Marquette—J. H.

Bergland, and his mill, a band and circular, has several seasons’ work in sight. As the Milwaukee & Northern will immediately build through from Iron Mountain to Sidnaw, it will be | a good location, both as to stumpage and for rail shipments out. Menominee—The estate of Peters & Morrison has been ordered closed, and the money—$18,000—in the hands of the receiver distributed among the creditors. October 17, 1890, the insolvents made an assignment to James A. Stephenson, who was afterwards appointed receiver by Judge Stone. The property scheduled $70,000, but only $35,000 was realized by its sale. During his receivership Mr. Stephenson paid some $4,000 in labor claims, $1,000 in taxes, and $1,500 in in- surance. The claims filed and proven against the estate aggregated over $2,000,- 000, so it will be seen that the dividend ordered will be about 9 percent. The great portion of this indebtedness con- sisted in outstanding accommodation bank paper made by Peters & Morrison for the use and benefit of R. G. Peters, who was the senior partner in the defunct The legitimate debts of the firm were about $45,000.

Fred Helfrich, the Boyne City grocer, was in town last week for the first time in two years and remained over Sunday. Mr. Helfrich closed his books May 15 and joined the ranks of cash merchants.

Lemon left Friday for New York, whither he goes as the representa- tive of the Grand Rapids Wholesale Gro- cers’ Association to the meeting of the wholesale grocers of the United States, called for June 9, to consider the matter of effecting some arrangement with the Sugar Trust by which a reasonable profit on sugar may be assured. Mr. Lemon is accompanied by his wife, and expects to remain in the East about ten days, spend- ing acouple of days at Washington on the way to New York. It has been sev- eral years since Mr. Lemon has taken a vacation of so long duration, and he has richly earned a brief respite from busi- ness cares. ges pl + THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. 5 GRAND RAPIDS GOSSIP.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 6 THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. BUSINESS LAW. Summarized Decisions from Courts of Last Resort. INVENTORY—PRICE—CONSTRUCTION. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania | held, in the recent case of Holloway vs. Frick, that a clause in a contract provid- ing for the dissolution of a partnership that an inventory should be taken of stock ‘‘at the original and wholesale cost thereof” meant the price first brought by | the goods when purchased for the pur- pose of being made part of the stock. NOTE—COLLECTION—ATTORNEY—AU- THORITY. The Supreme Court of Minnesota held, in the recent case of Davis et al. vs. Severance et al., that where a client em- ployed an attorney to collect a promis- sory note, and he, instead of collecting the same in full, received part payment in cash and took security running to himself for the balance, the money was goed “pro tanto,’? and presumptively within the authority of the attorney to receive, but that the client might refuse to aceept the new security and recover the original note from the maker. SALE—MEASURE OF DAMAGES. The Supreme Court of Lllinois held, in the recent case of Kendall vs. Young, that in a case where it appears that the purchaser of an entire stock of goods at their invoice price refuses to complete the sale and sues to recover an ad- vance payment, and where the vendor shows that he completed the invoice ac- cording to the contract, and establishes the invoice price of the whole stock, he may prove a sale to another person and the price received for the purpose of showing the amount of damages he has sustained by the failure of the purchaser to comply with contract, but not unless he has completed the invoice, and thus fixed the price to be paid. AGENT—AUTHORITY TO COLLECT. The Supreme Court of Georgia held, in the recent case of Luckie vs. Johnston et al., that the authority of an agent to collect need not be express, but may be implied; that where a bill for goods pre- viously sold by him for the house he represents, together with a bill for goods sold directly by the house to the same customer. is sent to an agent and both bills are by the latter presented to the eustomer, who pays both, whether under all circumstances the sending of the bill to the agent implies authority in him to colleet the money is a question of fact for the jury, and that the fact that the bills had printed upon their face in small letters the words ‘bills payable at | this office only.’’ which the debtor did not notice and of which he had no knowl- edge atthe time he made the payment, would not necessarily negative the au- thority, if from the other circumstances it could be fairly implied. PARTNERSHIP—SHARING PROFITS— AGENCY. The Supreme Court of Illinois held, in the recent case of Fougner et al. vs. First National Bank of Chicago et. al., that an agreement to share losses is not necessary to create one a partner in a business; that the proper test is the sharing in profits, but this test is subject to the qualification that it must be a sharing in the profits as distinguished from merely making the profits the measure of compensation for services, or for the use of property or money in the business; also to the further qualifica- tion that there must not only be a sharing in the profits. but it must be done as a principal and not merely as an employee, or as interest on a loan of money or for the use of property; that even as to third persons a _ partner- ship is not constituted by the mere fact that two or more persons participate in or are interested in the net profits of a business; that the existence of a partner- ship implies also the existence of sueh a relation between the persons as that each of them is a principal, and each an agent for the other, and that the relationship of one as partner with anether depends upon the intention of the parties as gathered from the language of their agreement. | | Schilling Corset Co.'s CORSETS * THE MODEL (Trade Mark.)

Mr. Lorge,-a merchant in Montreal, in honor of the Queen’s birthday, dec srated his store with many flags of different nations. A party of British soldiers, who were celebrating. the day, spied an American flag among the rest, and, going into the store, demanded that it be taken down. They would not permit the American flag to float on the Queen’s birthday. Mr. Lorge protested that it, with the others, was meant to do honor to the Queen, but the soldiers answered, “We are English, you know. Take it down, or we will tear it down!” and down it had to come. Mr. Lorge is an American, and belongs to the G. A. R. THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. Hardware Price Current.

PEACE PREPARATIONS. Not long since General Miles gave ex- pression to some rather unpalatable truths in regard to the lack of coast de- fenses by this country. He referred to the fact that it would require years to equip any considerable fort with the modern appliances of war, and, as we think, showed very plainly that the country was going on in a way likely to lead to serious trouble in times when, between nations, little or no interval is given for preparation before hostilities are begun. The points raised by General Miles are such as should receive the thoughtful consideration of every citizen, and, above all things, the attempt to make party capital out of the expenditure necessary to put the country in a reasonable state of defense should be discountenanced. The requirements demand a much larger navy and much better coast defenses. This does not mean war; on the con- trary, it means taking the only precau- tion possible to avoid war. The preser- vation of peace is, undoubtedly, next to upholding national honor, the great desire of the American people, and the way—the only sure way—to insure peace is to be prepared for war. It is costly, no doubt—this preparing and keeping prepared for war—but it is not so costly as war itself. Great engineers and mechanics decide the fate of nations in these days. The best guns, the best fortifications, and the best warships are, by far, more potent than numerical strength—potent in deciding battles and potent in prevent- ing them. Itis better that some of the engineers and mechanics of the country be employed now, than thag great armies be employed later on. A good deal of foolish talk is indulged in as to the previous naval achievements | of America with improvised navies. Such achievements would be impossible now, as any ordinary mechanic could explain | to those who rely on a contemplation of the records of the past. and cast-iron guns are interesting only as relics, and scarcely better than useless for offensive and defensive purposes. It is a great pity that the creditable Wooden ships | fying the seacoast should even appear to |weaken. It is something that is not | demanded by the people, who have come |to fully understand that great war ves- | sels, great guns, and great fortifications | cannot be built in a few months, but are | the work of years, and that the labor ex- pended upon them is in the interests of peace rather than in the bringing on of war. BAD ADVICE. Ever since the Sugar Trust has been established on a firm footing it has sought to obtain absolute control of the domes- tic sugar producing interest. After gradually eliminating all competition in the business of refining sugar, the Trust managers have realized that about the only opposition that still remained was the sale of the high grade centrifugal sugar produced by domestic sugar plant- ers, which, because of its excellence and comparative cheapness, enters freely into direct consumption in competition with refined sugar. Since the absorption by the American Sugar Refining Company of the great Spreckels house, as well as the other independent refineries at Boston and Philadelphia, the entire sugar trade of the country has come under the control of that gigantic monopoly except that portion represented by the moderate amount of domestic sugar of sufficient high grade to suit the purposes of the grocery trade. This opposition, moder- ate as it is, is now to be attacked. The following extract from the latest circular of Willett & Gray, the well known authorities on matters relating to sugar, explains the metbod that is being resorted to to accomplish the latest move of the sugar monopoly: Abandon the building of $500,000 re- fineries to manufacture white sugar three months of the year. Build $25,000 neigh- borhood factories to turn beet roots into the lowest grades of raw sugars that will secure the government bounty. Let the farmers who raise the beets be stockhold- ers in the factory. Let the factory make a contract with the American Sugar Re- fining Company to take its raw sugar at the market value of similar sugar at time of delivery. The American Sugar Refining Company will contract now for sugars to be produced in any part of the United States in 1893. This is the way the manufacture has been brought to its great prosperity on the continent, and the only way it will succeed in the United States, in ouropinion. Beet root agriculture can be made very profitable in almost any state in the Union, but beet root refining cannot compete with large established refineries running to full capacity every day of the year. Should domestic producers follow this advice they would soon discover that they would be in the power of the Sugar Trust. The proposition to contract with the producers for the output of their factories on the basis of the market price for sugar of ‘‘similar’’ quality at the time of delivery seems plausible enough on its face, but when it is remembered that the Sugar Trust already controls the price of Cuban sugar, and is striving, | with some success, to also control the price of European beet sugar, the plant- ers will understand the significance of | what is meant by “the market price rul- ing at the time of delivery.”’ j data alllepannaae na KEEPING OUT THE CHINESE. | The law recently made by Congress to ‘exclude from the limits of the United | States all Chinese immigration, provides | further for the registration of all Chinese efforts towards creating a navy and forti- | persons now residing in this country. It appears from the returns of the United States census that these people amount to considerably more than 100,000 over and above those who have become citi- zens of the United States. It will be found a most difficult matter to keep these Asiatics out of the country. It is known that they are constantly smuggling themselves in from Mexico and British America. Those countries lie for thousands of miles along our frontiers, separated for the most part by imaginary lines. There is not the slightest trouble in walking across the border where the country is thinly or not at all inhabited, and to keep them ou‘ would require the constant patrol of the boundary lines by thousands of guards. Only $60,000 has been appropriated for the execution of the law, andit is claimed by Secretary of the Treasury Foster that the law authorizes the payment by the Government of a fee of one dollar each for the registration of the Chinese and that for this purpose more than $100,000 additional will be required to pay these fees. Since it is a great privilege under the law for a Chinaman to be permitted to remain in the country, those enjoying the honor of registration should be made to pay for it.

While the silver men have been busy | at Washington, bothin the Senate and in | the Bimetallic Convention, laboring for | the restoration of free silver coinage, | and while the President of the United | States has been occupied with the con- vocation of an international bimetallic conference, the great empire of Austria- Hungary has been preparing to adopt | gold as its exclusive standard of value, and to relegate silver to the subordinate | position of material for mere token | money. Bills for the purpose have been submitted to the Austrian and to the Hungarian parliaments, and are now under consideration there, with a cer- tainty of their ultimate, though not, per- haps, their speedy adoption. Nominally, Austria and Hungary have for many years adhered to the silver standard, but, owing to the long con- tinued suspension of specie payments on one hand, and to the restriction of silver coinage on the other, the real standard has been part way between silver and gold. Thus the florin, which, as bullion, is worth about 26 cents of our money, and which, when originally coined, was worth about 48 cents, has an actual ex- changeable gold value of about 41 cents. It is this latter actual value which it is proposed to adopt as the basis of the new currency. A new unit is to be created, called the crown, consisting of gold to the value of about 201¢ cents, or about one-half the value of the present florin. It is to be coined in gold in pieces of ten crowns and of twenty crowns, and in silver in one crown pieces, each about sixteen times the weight of the gold crown, and one-half the weight of the present silver florin, which is to re- main current as the equivalent of two crowns. When, therefore, the change is fully accomplished, the Austrian metallic currency will consist of gold ten-crown pieces, worth say $2.05 each, gold twenty-crown pieces worth $4.10 each, silver florins, really worth 26 cents but as token money passing for 41 cents, and silver crowns, really worth 13 cents but as tokens 2014 cents. There will also be half crowns in silver, and smaller frac- tions of a crown in nickel and bronze. The scheme proposed does not attempt to impair the rights of creditors, public or private, whose claims are specifically payable in gold. These are to continue to receive, as they have been receiving, the full amount due them. Debts, too, payable in either silver or paper, will, evidently, not be diminished. Creditors will be paid in gold the present actual value of their dues in currency, and they will, in addition, be protected against possible future loss arising from the further depreciation of the silver florin. On the score of justice, there- fore, the scheme is unobjectionable. All that stands in the way of its accomplish- ment is the difficulty of obtaining the necessary quantity of gold forit. Nego- tiations are pending on the subject with the great European bankers, but as yet they have had no definite result. The paper money at present in circula- tion in Austria and Hungary combined | ‘ amounts to about $300,000,000, and if this alone needed to be put at parin gold, under the new system, and kept there, comparatively little of the metal would be required. But, since the old silver florins, of which the amount can only be guessed at, will also have to be protected, and since, further, it is pro- posed to add to them $40,000;000 in new silver crowns, which, like our dollars, | ;can only be made to circulate at their | 'nominal value by being always convert- | ible into gold at par, at the pleasure of | the holder, the estimate of the quantity | of gold necessary, made by the Austrian | Government, of $75,000,000 for Austria | | and $30,000,000 for Hungary, is probably | none too great. The kingdom of.sHun- | | gary is already furnished with $18,000,- | 000 of its quota of gold, and it proposes | to reduce the amount of its paper money | by funding some of it, so that the task of maintaining gold payments in that portion of the empire will be compara-| tively easy. Austria, on the contrary, | has not yet secured any great amount of gold, and it expects to sell bonds for the | purpose, taking the opportunity, at the | | | | same time, to convert a large amount of | its funded currency debt into a gold debt, at a lower rate of interest. Ihe importance to this country of the | proposed change by Austria-Hungary | from the silver to the gold standard, lies, primarily, in the fact that upon us will | probably fall, in great measure, the | burden of furnishing the additional quantity of gold needed to accomplish it. The Bank of France may be applied to, in the first instance, since that institu- tion has, besides its stock of $300,000,000 in gold, nearly an equal amount in silver coin, which is a legal tender in France the same as gold. On several previous occasions the Bank of France, when there was an extraordinary demand for gold in other countries than France, has suspended gold payments and sold its gold at a premium which has been some- times as high as 1 percent. It would be likely todo the same thing in this in- stance, but it is not probable that i would consent to deplete its stock of the entire $80,000,000 or $90,000,000 which Austria-Hungary requires. The United States, being the next most accessible holder of gold, would, therefore, natu- rally be applied to for the deficiency, and what the result would be it is easy to imagine. Our banks, if it were to be demanded of them, would, by paying out legal tender notes or silver, transfer the demand to the United States Treasury, which is already reduced to only $13,- 000,000 in gold, over and above the $100,- 000,000 set aside for the redemption of the legal tenders. It would, therefore, very soon be compelled to tender silver dollars in order to stop the run on it, and then gold would at once go to a pre- mium. or Furthermore, Austria-Hungary, by placing itself alongside of Germany and Great Britain in the maintenance of the single gold standard, will make the adoption by European nations of inter- national bimetallism, never very prob- able, almost impossible. No argument ean disprove the proposition that bi- metallism on a ratio of silver to gold of either 154¢ to 1 or 16 to 1 would immedi- ately result in the demonetization of | gold and the establishment of the) single silver standard, while the adop- | tion of the actual commercial ratio of | 23}¢ to 1 would throw the coinage of all Europe into confusion. If the United | States, therefore, ever succeeds in re-| storing free silver coinage atall, it must do it without the co-operation of Europe, | and President Harrison’s International | Conference is doomed to end in failure.

It is true that the propositions | have described have yet to be enacted into laws, and that, after they have become laws, they have to be executed, all of which in- volves much delay and will defer, for a long while, the arrival of the results I have indicated. But that the Austrian Ministry is earnestly pushing the matter, and will do its best to bring it toa suc- cessful conelusion, there is no doubt. | forced That they have the support of the com- | mercial and financial portion of the Aus- trian people as well as that of the for- eign creditors certain.

Bleichroders, it is said, indeed, have de- | clined to lend their aid in acquiring the needed gold, but this can be ascribed only to their judgment that the compen- sation offered them insufficient. Gold can be had in any amount if enough is paid for it, and the only question that Austria has to decide is whether it will pay the sum that will prove necessary. The Austrian Minister of Finance, I see by a cable despatch, addressed the Lower House of the Austrian Parliament on Wednesday, urging an immediate deci- sion on the currency bills, and giving as a reason for speedy action the encourage- ment that delay would furnish to in- trigues by the silver rings in this coun- try. While, too, our moneyed men are un- accountably indifferent to the important consequences which will follow Austria’s renunciation of silver, they display a sensitiveness equally unaccountable to the talk about silver in Congress. The recent revival of the silver debate in the Senate has cast, I am told, a chill over stock brokers and appreciably lowered the prices of social stocks: Yet every- body knows that even if the Senate should pass a free coinage bill it would be defeated in the House, and if it were to pass both Houses it would still be vetoed by President Harrison. No free coinage bill can become a law for two years yet, and whenever it becomes a law, which will be less likely two years hence than it is at present, its effect will be not to lower prices, but to raise them, just as our depreciated greenbacks raised prices during the war. Whatever Austria does and Congress does, we need not be for the future. Should the of gold from this country by Austria put the metal to a premium, it would at the same time correspondingly advance the prices of all the products of industry. Should the free coinageof silver prevail, was whatever the same result would be produced in a greater degree. alarmed | jcause of emotions, worry and anxiety, cause de-| rangements of digestion by retarding the | secretion of fluids upon which digestion | depends. On the other hand, food in in- | sufficient or in excessive quantities, and | indigestible food, affects the brain by | causing sluggishness of thought and | diminution of mental vigor. Brain and stomach cannot perform their functiorfs to best advantage simultaneously. Dur- ing the process of digestion the stomach requires more blood than at other times, and a part of this extra supply is drawn from the brain. If the brain be to work during the period of active digestion, the stomach will be de- @ental activity necessitates trolled by the will, while digestion is not, it follows that when thought and digestion are carried on together, the brain will always take the blood needed by the stomach. If this be habitual, it soon leads to pronounced dyspepsia, and chronic dyspepsia in its turn, by irrita- tion of the nervous system, incapacitates even an abnormally vigorous brain. In the light of these facts it is impor- tant for business men to understand the relations between brain work and diges- tion, so that they may obtain the best work from both brain and stomach. It is impossible to prescribe a diet suitable to every individual, but certain rules can be formulated which will apply to the average man. A breakfast consisting of a moderate quantity of oatmeal or some other cereal, a couple of eggs cooked in any desired way, or, in place of the eggs, a chop or a piece of beef, or almost any other meat except veal, pork, and corned beef; pota- toes, bread and butter, and one cup of coffee, together with some form of fruit, if desired, will be amply sufficient to meet all the requirements of nature, and to satisfy all needed nutrition even in those who habitually perform severe and prolonged mental or physical work. Hot biscuit and hot cakes may be indulged in sparingly. Generally speaking, a light breakfast will be better borne by the stomach than large quantities of food. Breakfast should be finished an hour and a half before active mental work begins. Reading the papers and a moderate walk, leisurely conducted, are rather calculated to assist than to retard digestion. Violent exercise, immediately following a meal, should be avoided. The midday meal is, to the business man, the most important of the day. | Imprudence at this time, when the mind | is most actively engaged, is often the | severe dyspepsia.

A tenancy at will rests upon contract and cannot arise or exist without actual or presumed consent to occupation. It may be created by express lease for an uncertain time, providing for a weekly, monthly or yearly payment of rent; for | in this State, as before stated, the com- mon law definition of a tenancy by will prevails. In Ramsdell vs. Maxwell, 32 Michigan, 285, it was held that a tenant at sufferance, who is allowed to continue in possession under a new arrangement, becomes a tenant at will, or from-year to year; and the same court held, in another case, that one holding over a term with- out a new agreement, provided there is assent, express or implied, to a continu- ance of the tenancy, is a tenant at will. The cases are conflicting as to whether the relation of tenancy at will, or tenancy of any kind, exists between a seller and purchaser in possession under an execu- tory contract, many courts holding that if the contract is not complied with, such possession creates an implied or quasi (as if; almost) tenancy at will; while others hold that there is no relation of tenancy between them without a contract of tenancy. In our own State it has been held that, after a judgment in ejectment has been obtained by the seller against the purchaser, under an executory con- tract, the defaulting purchaser becomes a tenant at sufferance, and is liable for use and occupation if he remain in pos- session; and that a purchaser holding possession by permission, and not under the terms of the executory contract, isa tenant at will. Where one takes possession of prem- ises, pending negotiations for its pur- chase, or if possession is taken under a void or voidable contract of purchase, a tenancy at will is created. A grantor retaining possession, after conveyance by permission, cannot be charged with rent without an agreement to pay rent; but a grantor in a deed of trust remain- ing in possession is a tenant at will. Occupation of the employer’s premises by a clerk, agent or employee does not ordinarily create a tenancy, though it be in part payment for services rendered; and our courts have held that, under a labor contract, the amount of rent due from an employe may be proved as a payment. The doctrine has been clearly established in this State that no mercan- tile or manufacturing company can charge a manager or superintendent of such company rent for occupying a house owned by the company, in the absence of an agreement, unless it has been the eustom to do so. Periodical tenancies, from year to year, month to month, or week to week, are all treated in this State as tenancies at will. This construction, as before stated, has acommon law origin, the object of which is to prevent an arbitrary deter- mination thereof. A periodical tenancy is in its nature a tenancy for one period certain, with a growing interest spring- ing from the contract during the whole of each period thereafter, if allowed to recommence. It is considered not as a continuous tenancy, but as recommenc- ing every period, unless the principle of continuance is introduced into the origi- nal contract. The right of either party to determine such a tenancy at the end of any period, by due notice, is an’ in- separable incident to the tenancy, and will control an express provision that the tenancy is to continue so long as rent is paid. A tenancy from year to year is in the nature of a term and it is assignable and demisable. It passes to the representa- tives of the deceased tenant and may be mortgaged or taken upon execution. A tenant from year to year may acquire a} permanent easement (a right which one | owner of land has to use that of another without profit) which will inure to the landlord’s benefit. A periodical tenancy may be constituted by express agreement for such tenancy, or by a lease or permissive occupation for an indefinite time, if the circum- stances show a periodical holding, the reservation or acceptance of a fixed peri- odical rent, with reference to a yearly holding, being acontrolling circumstance. lt may be constituted by the holding over of a tenant after the expiration of a certain term definite, by consent of the landlord, the tandlord having the right to elect to treat the tenant who holds over either as a trespasser or a periodical or from-year-to-year tenant, without re- gard to the intention of the tenant. Our courts have held that occupancy under an invalid parol lease for years will con- stitute a tenancy from year to year, but no action can be had for rent except for the amount agreed upon. When the payment of rent under a general letting, or void parol lease, or holding over, is not referable to an an- nual holding, the tenancy will be peri- odical for such shorter term as is indi- cated by the rental. When the original holding was for a definite term less than one year, the law implies a_ periodical tenancy for a like term, if the tenant holds over. A tenant at will whose rent is payable quarterly will hold from quarter to quarter, while a tenant whose rent is payable monthly, under a general holding, or a void parol lease, will hold from month to month. A tenant for one month, holding over, will become a ten- ant from month to month. Whether a tenant for years who holds over, paying a monthly rental, is a tenant from year to year, or from month to month, depends upon the intention of the parties, unless the ease is expressly determined by stat- ute. A tenant from month to month has not such an interest as will enable him to restrain a nuisance. A letting upon weekly payments will create a weekly tenancy. A notice to quit is necessary to deter- mine any periodical tenancy, unless ter- minated by agreement, or the landlord elects to eject a tenant who has disclaimed the tenancy. It cannot be determined by vacating the premises, for the tenant is liable for the full rent for any new period which is allowed to begin. The period of notice to quit must be made to expire at the same time with the current period of occupancy; and the tenancy may be terminated, by giving the proper notice, at the end of any period. Under the common law, a yearly tenant is en- titled to six months’ notice, but this rule has been changed in a number of states. In our own State a yearly tenant is entitled to three months’ notice, unless he pays his rent monthly, in which case he is only entitled to one month’s notice; and a monthly tenant is entitled to thirty days’ notice. The notice must be fora full month before the day on which a new holding would begin, and terminate at the expiration of a monthly period.

It has been held that the tenant may terminate the tenancy at the end of any month without notice, though he is gen- erally required by law to give one month’s notice to the landlord; but if he allows a new month to begin, he must pay the full month’s rent. Where the tenancy was from Detroit Savings Bank vs. Bellamy, 40 Mich., 317, that the tenant cannot be required to leave before midnight on the last day of the half month. Whether a notice to a weekly tenant to quit is required or not, depends upon custom, or statute, or agreement; but it is always safer to give a week’s notice. The tenant may quit at the end of the week, though he will be liable for a week’s rentif he hold over into a new week. TENANCY FOR YEARS. Every estate, by whatever words cre- | ated, which must expire at a fixed period, is an estate for years, though it be for a/| single year or a fractional part thereof, or for any number of months or weeks. A term of years may be created as se- curity for a debt. requires that all leases running fora longer term than one year shall be re- duced to writing and properly signed by the lessor or his duly authorized agent. A parol one year is, therefore, invalid and no good for the purposes intended. It will operate, however, as a valid lease from year to year, if possession be had under it. Terms were originally of short dura- tion, and by the ancient common law could not be made to exceed forty years; but now they may be made for any num- ber of years, except as limited by statute. Where the term in a lease, through the | earelessness of the parties, has been made indefinite, our courts have held that the lease will be reformed so as to limit the tenancy to such time as required for the purpose the parties had in view. A demise for more than one year, with- | out saying how many years, is a demise for two years certain; and a lease for a month or months, in this country, means calendar months. Receipt of one month’s rent, after the expiration of a lease for years, only creates a term for one month; | and an extension of the term ‘‘of the written lease,’’ by a second indorsement following the first, will be referred to the first indorsement. A term for years will begin from the date of the lease, if not otherwise ex- pressly agreed, though it may be made to commence in interest from a future | date, while the computation of time be-| gins from itsdate. A lease may be dated back and made tocover part of a term | already expired; and if quarter days are fixed in the lease, the commencement of the term will be referred to them, rather | than to the date of the lease. Our courts have held that a lease for a building under process of construction will begin on its completion. Whether a lease ‘‘from a day named”’ includes the day or not is an unsettled question in this country. A lease to end on a certain day expires at noon on that day and an implied tenancy from year to year will | be presumed to begin on the same day of | the year as the original tenancy. E. A. OWEN. a a et Low Prices Not Always Necessary. From the National Grocer. It is a very erroneous idea to suppose | thatin order to transact business it is' half | month to half month, it was held, in| The Statute of Frauds | lease for a term exceeding | necessary that goods should be sold at low prices. there are large numbers of people who | are engaged in distributing merchandise | who believe that in order to do a busi- | iness it is absolutely necessary that goods | should be sold at a low price, or, in other | words, that goods should be distributed | without a fair and legitimate margin of | profit. There are other elements which | unquestionably enter into the business | of distribution, and these elements are very often ignored. We are perfectly willing to admit that there is a tendency, ;and a natural tendency, too, to have a | certain amount of faith in cutting. If ; we carefully look around we shall find) that there are many merchants engaged | |in business who are making a very satis- | | factory income, and who do not believe | for one moment that their business rests upon whether they sell sugar at a loss. They are in business to make money, and they try to do it in a legitimate way, |}and if there were more of the same kind lof merchants in existence we should {have considerably more prosperity and | fewer failures. { | There are merchants who conduct their business in such a manner that their customers feel more satisfied with | them when they make a large profit than | when other merchants sell goods at cost. |There are many different things to be considered in supplying the wants of the people. Forinstance, one merchant may | sacrifice everything to sell his goods i|cheap and worry in trying to reduce the cost of distribution to the lowest margin of profit. This merchant rarely, \if ever, becomes rich. He often fails, and oftener finishes up his career about | where he commenced it. On the other | hand. there is the merchant who tries all | he possibly can to give his patrons the best of service, the best of goods, and at the same time takes very good care that he makes a reasonable profit; not an ex- orbitant profit, but a profit that will cover all expenses and leave a satisfac- tory margin for his own services and of capital, energy and brain. The latter is the kind of merchant that usually suc- ;ceeds in making a very respectable in- come, and, asa rule, piles up sufficient money to keep him in his old days. He is not rash, and does not believe that the public is for everlastingly running after bargains and trying to purchase goods at |less than they were bought for. He | knows that not only his patrons, buta | good many people who are outside of his business altogether, consider other things than purchasing goods cheaply. It might just as well be argued that the low saloon which selis a 5-cent whisky does a more profitable business than that which charges 15 cents, as to argue that | the grocery store which cuts prices most will make the most money. There is something more necessary to successfully cultivate a business than to try how low | goods can be sold. | Itis stated that the most successful re- | tail grocery establishment in this city, |and, for that matter, in the whole coun- | try, was never known to sell goods ata | loss, but always gets enough upon every- thing sold to pay for handling them and leave a satisfactory profit besides. While other merchants were trying to pull |down the profit wall, this house was | steadily and quietly trying to give their customers the best possible service with an amount of profit to themselves that would justify the business to be con- | ducted upon such a basis.

As the time for adjusting wages for the ensuing year in the iron and glass indus- tries is near at hand, the question of future prices is quite unsettled. Pig Iron—Stocks on hand in the large markets are getting low and a tendency to higher values is noticed. Southern furnaces are asking for better prices, which makes the market firmer. Iron and Steel—Manufactured iron and steel are not firm, but an improvement in some sections is noticed. Wrought [ron Pigs—The market on pigs is in a very unsettled condition and quotations vary from 5 to 10 per cent. Sheet Iron—The wages question keeps the future price of sheet iron uncertain. Manufacturers are refusing to name prices beyond July 1, but jobbers, in many instances, are quoting for fall de- liveries and taking their chances on the market. Barbed Wire— The price still con- tinues low, notwithstanding all makers are crowded with orders and are backward in filling same. Wire Nails—Demoralization still con- tinues in the wire nail market. Buyers of 50 and 100 keg lots can obtain conces- sions from the market report. very Glass— The manufacturers have de- cided to keep their factories running until July 1. This will undoubtedly check any advance that would have been made had they have closed down 1, as intended. Wool Twine—As the time is now at hand when wool twine is used, the price seems to be a trifle lower than earlier in the season. Jobbers are quoting 6c by the bale. Pig Lead—Just at this time is weak and sluggish. June Shot—The manufacturers have made another advance of 5 cents a bag, taking effect June 1, eine the price now $1.40 per bag for drop shot at the shot towers. Shelf Hardware—Prices all seem to be quiet, no special changes being made. Rope— No change to note in either sisal or manilla. —_——- <> The Wool Market.

From the Pharmaceutical Era. It has been a popular practice of late years to air the grievances of farmers. So reckless have become statements made to show the oppressions they as a class experience that credulity itself has been foreed into bankruptcy, with stocks of sympathy hypothecated for twice their value, and no assets on hand but doubts that are unavailable in any market. While the duly appointed assignee is dis- entangling this muddle, why should not an indulgent public lend an ear to the Point of druggist’s ‘‘tale of woe,’? which is no} less real and much more deserving of general sympathy. No corpse was ever sat upon by coroner so persistently as has been this class of dealers, whose duties are to serve the public at all hours of the day and night, and take their pay mostly in the smiles of an approving conscience. Each year as they enter the internal revenue colltor’s office they have to wear a badge of degradation which nature abhors, before they can get the proper permit to pursue their legitimate busi- ness. In the county treasurer’s office they next appear as outlawed citizens who must give bonds not only for good _ be- havior, but against all possible contin- gencies, as well as malicious claims that ignorance or prejudice may choose to at- tempt through the ensuing year. Every day, hour and minute of the time spent in this round of daily duties is burdened with the thought that in spite of all efforts to keep inviolate the complicated letter of a law made especi- ally for druggists, perhaps one thought- less act of omission or commission may unloose the sting that any worthless creature may wield against them for a technical infraction. Under this sword of Damocles their lives are spent. Hap- py are they if indulgent Nature toughens the sensibilities of endurance to threats of danger that are ever hovering though seldom alighting. Still the dark shade of impending disaster, like that made by a huge bird of prey, is never absent from their thoughts, and embitters many a life that might otherwise be tranquil and serene. To these evils must be added a host of minor grievances from which few are exempt. They are, perhaps, but pin- pricks in comparison, but their frequency makes them unendurable. The humorous fiend, who is ever get- ting off a joke about articles bought of druggists, to the effect that locks of every conscientious druggist. For every ailment of suffering mortals the offered patent medicine is legion. The druggist has now no more a reputa- tion as a compounder and dispenser of medicines. The newspapers fill the pub- | lie mind with what purports to be facts | as to the cures performed by the nostrums | advertised. The public, though often gulled, are still credulous, and consult ithe pages of their weekly paper instead |of a physician in every case except where acute symptoms remind them that death is possible. To meet wants thus created requires no skuilin pharmacy, but only capital and asubtle knowledge of the laws of i supply and demand. |at gross prices. | business, cut off at both ends, is becom- |ing a thing of the past. In addition to these discouraging con- ditions of trade, physicians are more and more each year supplying their own medicines to patients from some secret souree other than the retail druggist, who alone is expected to furnish bottles Thus the prescription Add to this the solemn fact that, in spite of decreasing trade and lessened profits, the public mind is settling into the belief that druggists are all getting rich, and accordingly should be treated with the same respect shown to a million- aire, and one need not wonder at the tale of woe thus briefly presented. All other evils might be borne with patience, in hope of better times. But to be thus classed with the kings of fi- nance is the last cylindrical grain sup- | porter that fractures the dorsal vertebrae if cost had | the smal!-pox, the selling price would be | in no danger—even he, to the shame and | disgrace of civilization, goes unwhipped of justice. So does the advertising agent who eon- spires with the newspaper publishers to raise the ‘‘substitution’’ racket, and tell a wondering public that the druggist is a creature to be shunned as a false deceiver. For he knows that every libel he thus provokes will put money in his pocket and make his clients good for more fat contracts. In the hurry of competition in this fast age the patent medicine problem is be- coming the one that beyond and before all others is putting gray hairs in the of the ship of the desert, and proves that the druggist has grievances worthy the attention of philanthropic reformers. S. P. WHITMARSH. Palmyra, Mich. ~~ Departure from Conyentional Rules. Advertisers everywhere are striving for effects. A little while ago it was very large type, and then it was bold- faced type in display lines, and a littte later there was commenced the descrip- tive style of advertising, many examples of which are still seen in the daily papers. At present there seems to be no particular style that is ruling, for every large advertiser appears to be laying about him for something new. A prom- inent concern in Chicago, doing a general merchandise business, has hit upon the not altogether original plan of ignoring capital letters in advertising the dif- ferent departments of the store, as, for example, the ‘lace department,”’ ‘‘silk department,” ‘‘dress goods,’’ etc. Large type suitable for cross heads is used, and the phrases are quoted, but no capitals are employed. Their store windows show the same peculiarities in the placards and tags applied to goods, all being printed or drawn, as the case may be, without the use of capitals. The Drug Market. Quinine is steady. Opium is unchanged. Powdered opium has declined. Morphia is lower. Citric acid has declined. Tar- taric acid is lower. Gum assofcetida is lower. Oil bergamot has declined. Po. Russian cantharides is lower. Sulphur and brimstone have declined. Turpen- tine is lower. Better than the Best Imported and cost only one-half as much. SALES LAST YEAR, 7,295,275! I M.

WE SELL MORE Registers a Business Men Than allcthe Other Regiater Companies Combined, Why is the } eck Autographic Cash Register the Best for Merchants ? Because it records items instead of General Results. Because it is always ready to make and preserve a record of money paid in and out. Because there are no “charge slips,’ “received on account slips,” ‘‘paid out slips” and “just out slips” to be lost and break the record. Because a merchant can file away his entire day’s business on one sheet and refer in an instant to the record of any previous day. Because figures won’t lie, but machinery, if out of repair, is bound to. Because it is not necessary to send it to the factory every six months for repairs. Because you are not obliged to strike three or four keys to register one amount.

Let two men start together in life as | Shoemakers, with a view to do their best in getting on in the world, as Henry Wilson did sixty years ago. They are equal in skill and endurance and can work twelve hours a day at a fair stroke without impairing health. Working by the piece, they find they can earn six- teen and two-third cents an hour, or at the rate of two dollars a day. There is no difference between them in purpose, and only the small difference in the method in getting on, that James thinks he will sooner get in comfortable cir- cumstances by working twelve hours a day, and John imagines that nine hours will answer the purpose just as well. At the end of the year of the three hundred days they find that James has earned six hundred dollars, and John but four hun- dred and fifty dollars. They keep on at this rate ten years, and James has laid by two thousand dollars, and John nothing. Now the two thousand of James earns ten dollars a month for him, and is better than a good apprentice, because he pays the fund no wages and it costs nothing for board. The reason why they are now so wide apart is that the extra hours of James have yielded fifteen hundred dol- lars principal in the ten years, and five hundred dollars in interest. John has nothing, because the expense of living of each and support of the families has amounted to four hundred and fifty dol- lars for each. In ten years more James will have interest money sufficient to meet the family expense of four hun- dred and fifty dollars, and John will be with his nose still on the grindstone. at The versatility of the country store- keeper is exemplified by the Maine man who advertises that he deals in dry and fancy goods, boots and shoes, groceries, grain, feed, crockery and hardware; he keeps the postoffice, is justice of the peace, is a conveyancer, agent of an insurance company; he runs a set of hay seales; he has ‘tice cool soda and other cool drinks,” has famous ten and five cent cigars; is agent for a very loud fertilizer, and furnishes aristocratic eggs for putting under aristocratic hens.

The Cashier” ts of no Use. Sr. Louis, Mo., March 15, 1892. There is not the slightest comparison between the American Cashier and the National Cash Register. Yours is a register in every sense of the word, while the American Cashier is a slight improvement over an ordinary memorandum book. A. H. Sippy, Prescription Druggist, Vandeventer and Finney Aves. The “Cashier” ts no Protection. Sr. Louis, Mo., April 4, 1892. I have this day ordered a National Cash Reg‘ster, at the same time disposing of the one I had in my place of business, called the Cashier for the following reasons: The Cashier is really no pro- tection against mistakes, and it requires too long to figure it up, consequently taking too much of the valuable time of any person doing any amount of business. M. E. FriepEwa_p, Druggist. Would not keep the “Casher.” Mancu_ester, Ia., April 14, 1892. After having used the American Cashier Register for 18 months, I find it does not prove successful enough to keep it longer. The National Cash Register I considered so much better, even considering the price and all, that I finally made the change, and am well pleased with the way the National works. I think it fully pays for the difference in cost. Henry GooDBILE, General Store. He Returned the Peck. Ho.zianpD, Micu., April 5, 1892. I have returned this day a Peck Cash Register and boughta No. 33 National Cash Register in place of same, which I think is much easier to operate and better in construction than Peck’s. I am well pleased with it. Joun Pessinx, Baker and Confectioner. Countermanded Their Order for the Peck. Capitiac, Micu., April 8, 1892. We have this day countermanded our order for a Peck Cash Register, and have ordered one of the National Registers, No. 33» same being less than one-half the cost of the Peck Register. Witcox Bros., Grocers. Descarded the Peck. That I have seen fit to discard my Peck Cash Register for one of your No. 3 National Cash Registers, shows for itself what [ think of the value and usefulness of the two machines. Of course, Peck’s Cash Register is not to be compared with your National Cash Register for simplicity and usefulness, to say nothing of the labor saved in adding up itemized figures for the entire day’s busi- ness, which has to be done by users of the Peck machine.
