THE NUT TRADE.

' Review of the Business from a Boston Stand-
| Point.
' From the Boston Commercial Reporter.
The nut business is usually brisk at
: this season of the year. The activity now is
owing to the demand for the Christmas and
New Year’s festivals. The different classes
of nuts taken in the order of their impor-
tance are peanuts, walnuts, filberts, pecans,
' almonds, castinas, ehestnuts and shellbarks.
| The chestaut and shellbark trade is confined
almost wholly to the last two months of the
‘year. These nuts begin to come forward
: early in November, and the crops are almost
entirely cleaned up before January 1.
; Connecticut is the great chestnut produc-
ing State. Massachusetts and New Hamp-
| shire also grow some, but the crop is not as
‘ large as the Connecticut and the quality is
! poorer. Maryland is also a producer, but
; only a small amount is shipped to this mar-
‘ket. Thecrop last year in the Northern
| States wasa fine one. It began to come in
{
|

| during October and lasted until December.
| The prices last year ruled from $3 to $3.50
, per bushel. This year the crop is small, be-

ing only about two-thirds the amount of last
/ year’s. It did not begin to come in until
| about November 1 and is now almost wholly
cleaned up. The nuts have been small and
the quality has not been up to last year’s,
but prices have ruled from $4.50 to $5.

The shellbark crop is not above an average
this year, although it is larger than last sea-
/ son’s and the quality is a little better. These
‘nuts come forward the same time as chest-
‘nuts and are generally cleaned up during
December. The great bulk of these nuts
comes from Ohio, although Pennsylvania and
Missouri produce an inferior nut, and a con-
_ siderable quantity is usually received from
| the Hudson River region. This year the re-
_ceipts have been almost entirely from Ohio
_and Pennsylvania, the New York crop being
ia failure. The prices this year are $1.40@
| $1.50 per bushel against $1.75@$2 last year.
i The peanut crop began to come in about
| the last of Oetober and is now coming for-
| ward slowly. The crop this year is not up
to the average, though of good quality, and
prices are likely to rule high. The opening
prices this year have been 10@10!e per
| quart against T@7!ge last year. The old
‘crop is entirely out of the market. The
/ great peanut producing State is Virginia.
' In former years, North Carolina used to furn-

ish the leading nut but the Virginia is larg-
‘er and of better quality. Tennessee pro-

duces a considerable amount but they are dis-
| tributed through the West and only come to
Boston when there is a scarcity of Virginias
which are much superior in quality.
The great bulk of the walnuts comes from
Naples. They are what are known as Eng-
' lish walnuts and are of superior quality to
i the Freneh Grenoble and the Spanish Mar-
, beou, sinall amounts of which are also im-
| ported. New Naples walnuts are just arriv-
jing. The quality this year if better than
| last and the crop is reported to be a very
| good one in size. The prices are opening at
| 14@16c } Th against 15@16ce last year. Cal-
| ifornia walnuts have been brought into the
market during the last few years, but they
are of poorer quality than the foreign nuts
though they are improving each season.

New filberts have not yet arrived, but are
expected in about two weeks. These nuts
are produced in Sicily and the crop is ex-
boca to be a large one, though nothing

definite is received. The stock of old filberts
is small and they are selling at 15¢e # th.

Brazil nuts or castinas are in very limited
supply now and are selling at 12@13c ® hh.,
with a prospeet of higher priees, as the new
crop, Which does not come in until March, is
reported to be 40 per cent. short. The open-
ing price for these nuts last March was 6@
6lge.
| The pecan crop is a very large one this
j year. The new crop is just arriving and
; prices range from 11@17c # tb. Lower
| prices are expected as the arrivals increase.
| A small amount of pecans comes from Lou-
isiana, but Texas is the great producing reg-
ion. The pecan crop is a large and important
one and brings in considerable money to the
Texas gatherers.

New alnonds have not yet arrived but are
expected about the end of this month. Re-
ports from Italy state that the crop is short.
Old almonds are in rather short supply and
are being bought readily at 17@18e # hb.,
as higher prices are anticipated when the
new crop comes in.

A Mutua! Understanding.

“Well,” said an Austin merchant to a
young man in his office, “I understand that
you desire a position in my employ.” :

“Yes, sir,” replied the youth, “and I think
I can furnish you good testimonials.”

“Well,” said the merchant, “to be frank
with you and not beat around the bush too
/ much, I have already obtained information
| concerning you.”

i “Ah, that pleases me,” rejoined the youth.

‘Yes, I have been told that you quite fre-
quently take a glass or two too much.”

“Indeed! The same has been told me of
yonrself, but I. don’t believe it. No man
who was in the habit of taking too much
liquor would have kept me waiting here so
long without asking me to step out and in-
dulge. 1 don’t believe I want* to work for
you, anyway. I think you have been mis-
represented to me. Good day, sir.”

 

What Constitutes a Car-Load.

Nominally a car-load is 20,000 pounds. It
is also 70 barrels of salt, 70 of lime, 90 of
flour, 60 of whisky, 200 sacks of flour, 6
cords of soft wood, 18 or 20 head of cattle,
50 or sixty head of hogs, 90 or 100 head of
sheep, 9,000 feet of solid boards, 17,000 feet
of siding, 13,000 feet of flooring, 40,000 shin-
gles, one-half less green lumber, one-tenth
less of joist, scantling and other large tim-
bers, 340 bushels of wheat, 400 of barley,
400 of corn, 680 of oats, 300 of flax-seed, 366
of apples, 340 of Irish potatoes, 300 of sweet-
potatoes, 1,000 busheis of bran.

 

-“What is that?” inquired a New Orleans
commercial traveler at.a rural hotel in 'Tex-
as. ‘“Them’s brains,” explained the waiter,
pointing to a suspicious-looking side dish.
“Brains, eh?” said the Crescent City man.
“Well, I can tell you, after a sojourn of
only a few hours in this town, that such a
wasteful extravagance of intellectual devel-
opment I have never seen in the whole
course of my travels. You have no brains
to spare in this town, and the sooner you
quit dishing them up to transient guests the
more economical you will become.”

 

| TRADE TALK.
‘Slight Improvement in Business All Around—
Comparative Statements.

DRY GOODS.

A moderate business has been done the
past week, and it is not unlikely that trade
will hold up to its present volume until the
first of the year. Collections are reported a
trifle easier, doubtless owing to the nearness
to annual settlements.

GROCERIES.

In groceries jobbers think they see a
slight improvement, but do not dare to call
it permanent. Collections are somewhat
better. Dealers who wish to maintain a
good credit should make an extra effort to
pay now, as prompt payment in times like
these ‘“‘covers a multitude of sins,’ or words
to that effect.

Canned goods are flat, and nothing doing.
Prices are too low to live at, and are sure to
go higher as soon as the demand starts.

Coffees are slightly easier East, but as
prices here have not been up to the Eastern
basis, we make no change.

|

quality. Currents are easy and the crop
rather inferior. Prunes are the cheapest
they have been for years and look like a safe
purchase.

Fish are dull. Syrups are moving slowly
(generally do at.this time of the year—joke,
patented); but prices are higher. They
have been too low for some time, and dealers
may look out for still higher prices. Rice is
rather firmer, with fair demand. There is
no change to note in sugars,

 

PROVISIONS.

Pork has lately taken a jump of St per
barrel, on account of an active home demand
and the repeal of the prohibitory legislation
affecting American pork in France. Not-
withstanding the advance, the staple still
has an upward tendency, and will undoubt-
edly go still higher before the beginning of
the year.

Beef has advanced, and will probably rise
in price rapidly after January 1. <A local
dealer predicts that spring beef will be high-
er than at any time since the war.

Trade in all branches of the provision bus-
iness is exceptionally good, as is usual at this
season of the year.

BOOTS AND SHOES.

Trade continues fair, and dealers are wait-
ing for snow and slush to make business
more active. This line probably suffers
from business depression less than any other,
and one jobber estimates that the sales this
year will be within thirty per cent. of last.
Collections are exceptionally good, consider-
ing the complaint from other lines of trade.

CANDY, NUTS AND FRUITS.

 

 

The year’s business in the candy, fruit
and nut trade has been entirely satisfactory.
There has been no ‘“‘boom” in this line, buta
healthy, steady demand up to this time, and
sales have been fully as heavy as last year.
Loeal dealers predict a good business during
the remainder of the year.

Florida oranges are still in good supply,
and quality fine, and at the low prices now
ruling, are moving off freely. A new variety
of oranges has found its way into the mar-
ket, called “Mandarin” oranges, a native of
China. This fruit is now being cultivated in
Florida, and is of a very superior quality.

Lemons are improving in quality, but on
account of light supply of real good stock,
are firmly held at full prices.

Malaga grapes are selling freely and are a
shade higher in the Eastern markets.

Figs are in good supply and of good qual-
ity, and selling firmly at ruling prices.

Almonds and peanuts show a slight falling

nuts are higher.
DRUGS AND MEDICINES,

‘The drug business has for a time resum-
ed its wonted activity, and promises to hold
its own for some time to come. Collections
are fairly good. Canary seed has advanced,
and Tartaric acid, oil sassafras and oil worm-
wood declined.

 

FURNITURE.

The volume of business is not so great as
a year ago, and none of the factories ara
working as many men as they were at that
time. Wholesale trade is insufferably dull,
and there is no probability of mueh improvg-
ment in prospect. Fewer new styles will
be made for the spring trade than for several
seasons past. The retail trade is showing
considerable activity, as is usual at this sea-
son of the year.

 

| HIDES, PELTS AND FURS.

{

| Hides are picking up somewhat, in conse-
; quence of a stiffened feeling of the market,
although there is no upward tendency in
prices. Furs are not very firm, as late Eu-
ropean advices indicate a weakened condi-
‘tion of the market.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS.

Local freight agents say that the ship-
ments by manufacturers and jobbers are in
the aggregate about 15 per cent. less than
| last year.

CROCKERY AND GLASSWARE.

Business in the above line has been rush-
ing for a’ week past, in consequence if the
nearness of the holiday season. Another
week will witness the end of the rush for
fancy and holiday goods, after which the
question of collections will naturally assert
itself.

Accidents Due io Overloading Cars.

The frequent accidents which have lately
occurred on various roads in this country on
account of broken rails are a theme of gen-
eral discussion ia railroad circles here.
When the roads used iron rails accidents
were of much less frequent occurrence than
they are now with sixty-pound steel rails.
The accidents are therefore not believed to be
due to the inferiority of the rails now in use.
Railroad officials all agree that the rails are
as good and strong as ean be procured, but
the trouble is, that the habit of overloading
cars has become to common, and that the
rails cannot bear the heavy strain they are
subjected to. Formerly a common ear-load
was ten tons. Now this has gradually been
increased to 25 tons. The only remedy is be-
lieved to lie in reducing the tonnage loaded
inacar. The preseut maxinium amount, 25
tons, is believed to be much too large, and it
is claimed that no more than from 15 to 20
tons should be allowed to be loaded into a
ear. Itis probable that a meeting of the
railroad managers and superintendents of
the various roads in this country will soon
be held to take this matter into consideration
and try to provide means by which a remedy
for this serious evil can be effected.

The following corporations have lately
filed articles of asseciation with the Seere

Assurance that Paid.
“Cannot you get to the store earlier morn-

| ings, Henry?” asked his employer, as the

young man came in an hour late.

“Yes, siz,’ replied Henry, “I suppose I
could if I should dispense with my morning
nap, and go without my breakfast,’ and
Henry sat down in the most comfortable
chair in the counting-room, lighted his cigar,
and was soon buried in the morning paper.
His employer meanwhile was hard at work.
Of course, Henry was not allowed to remain
in the store many weeks. His impudence
and assurance were too massive. Heis now
a commercial traveler, with an income of
$10,000 per annum.

Paper Carpet.

What can not be made of paper is some-
thing which can not yet be safely decided.
A Hartford, Conn., man has lately taken
out patents for devices by which very beau-
tiful and substantial carpets can be made of
paper at prices much lower than the cost of
eotton matting. This new fabric even
seems to have qualities entirely superior to
ordinaryzcarpets. Itcan be doctored so as
to resist water, fire and insects without
losing any of the soft elegance which is com-
mon to fine woolen carpets. At least so
say the inventor and his friends

Cut of Town.

The notorious Newmans, ‘ Paisa’ and
Samuel, have taken flight, and are roported
to be enjoying themselves at South Bend,
Ind. Their offer to compromise at 40 per
cent. has been refused by the creditors, and
and they refuse to make another offer, and
threaten, to withdraw the one already made.

J. Sachem, who failed in this city January
5, 1876, with $3,500 liabilities and $7,500
nominal assets, and who subsequently set-
tled with his creditors, recently made an as-
signment at Big Rapids to L. S. Baker.

Kalkaska Kalkaskian:—C. P. Sweet,
proprietor of the Kalkaskian, has purchas-
ed the stock of ready made clothing brought
here by Houseman & May, of Grand Rapids,
afew months ago. :

H. F. Campbell, grocer at Manton, has
sold out J. C. Bostick.

A receiver has been appointed in the Wm.
Oppenheimer matter at Whitehall. .

soil to C. R. Osborn.

A counter-irritant—a clerk.

During the last five months the exports of
silks form Lyons to the UnitedjStates have
fallen off $1,000,000.

When one patent medicine cures all dis-
sases, it is hard to understand the necessity
of making so many kinds,

“It's kind of rough to be troubled with af-
fection of the scalp, isn’t it?” said a sympa-
thetic Pittsburger. ‘Yes,’ was the laconie
reply, “dand-ruff.”” <

A. Texas country paper lost some advertis-
ing patronage by putting a picture of a mar-
ble vard immediately after a doctor’s cared.
It was a grave mistake.

The drummer never says: “I sold so many
goods to So-and-So.” He says “LI sold So-
and-So.” This shows that a drummer can
tell the truth when he isn’t thinking.

Employers cannot too foreibly impress up-
on their clerks, both by example and precept,
the necessity for constant exertion and
watchfulness in order to attain business sue-
cess.

The growth of the lemon trade in this
country during the last thirty years has been
enormous. In 1850, 119,000 boxes were im-
ported; last year this number was increaseed
to 1,342,000 boxes.

A new mineral called adamaseolite has
been found in Missouri, and it is said that it
will cut steel. Adamascolite will fill a long-
felt want. Now the traveler can have a
knife that will cut a railroad sandwich.

“So you are married,’ remarked Mirs.
Smith; “when do you reeeive?” ‘“O,”? re-
plied the newly-wedded one, ‘“‘that will de-
pend upon our friends. We shall be ready
to receive as fast as the presents are sent
in.”

Jones asked his wife, “Why is a husband
like dough?” He expected she would give
it up, and he was going to tell her that it
was because she needed him, but she said it
was beeause he was hard to get off her
hands.

“My son,” said a Chicago father, ‘‘I have
just made my will and left all my property
to you, with Smith as executor.” The
smart youth replied: ‘Then change ii.
Leave all the property to Smith, and make
me the executor if you want me to enjoy any
of it.” ‘

It is said that in Chieago there are made
daily 250,000 pounds of sausages, which, if
linked together, would reach a length of 36,-
000 feet. If this linked meatness were long
drawn out a whole year it would make a
line stretching almost from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.

A new adulterant of ground pepper is a
finely ground preparation of the kernels of
olive berries. Ifasample of the suspected
mixture is scattered upon a mixture of equal
volumes of glycerine and water the pepper
floats upon the surface while the ground
olive kernel sinks.

The glass-workers are having a longer va-
cation than they expected. When they re-
fused to work for lower wages, they expeet-
ed to be called upon in a few days. They
have waited two months, and the mannfaci-
urers have imported glass enough to fill their
orders for some time to come.

Notwithstanding that the rice crop of this
year was larger than the average, 240,000
barrels to 231,000 last year, and the quality
good, it is said that the consumption has m-
creased to such a degree of late that it is an-
ticipated that large importations will have to
be made to satisfy the demand.

An English mechanie has invented a
horseshoe composed of three thieknesses of
cowhide compressed into a steel mold and
subjected to a chemical preparation. Tt will
last longer than the common shoe, weighs
only one-fourth as mueh, does not split the
hoofs, requires no calks, and is very elastie.

While the Columbia River has been fast
exhausted of Salmon, the latter are being
replaced by shad in fairly amazing numbers.
This fish was planted along the Pacific coast
only seven years ago, but is making itself
vastly at home in those waters. Whether
Columbia shad will become as popular in
cans as their pretentious predeeessors is a
question well worth thorough experiment..

Stareh is one of the most salable articles
in the grocery, as it is used for a great many
purposes. The manufacture of starch is noi
a difficult process. Potatoes contain a large
proportion of starch, and within a few years
have been substituted in place of grain. The
potatoes are ground, and the pulp washed,
the mass being allowed to settle in vats, and
the impurities removed with clean water. Ht
is dried with furnace heat.

A new industry in Cleveland is that of
manufacturing aniline dyes from petroleum
refuse. This industry has heretofore been a
close European monopoly, mainly confined
to Switzerland, one firm alone annually ex-
porting $30,000,000 worth. ‘The eompany
which proposes to go into this manufacture
at Cleveland is composed of New York and
Cleveland parties, a Swede of wide exper-
ience being the leading spirit.

Some persons suppose that brown sugar is
sweeter than refined sugar. This, however,
is not the fact. It is not so sweet. The
sensation is only apparentfrom the fact that
the semi-liquid sugar or glucose contained.
in the brown sugar melts more easily on the
tongue than the erystal sugar, on the same
principle that a piece of soft candy melts
more easily than does rock candy, and more
readily gives the sensation of sweetness.

Perhaps no two classes of citizens labor
under the same mutual relations as the gro-
cer and the farmer. Four-fifths of the entire
exports of the country are the products of
agriculture, and the grocer handles a larger
quantity of that consumed at home, while
the farmer, who is usually not familiar with
business matters, looks to the grocer for a
supply of such things as he does not provide
on the farm. The two classes have interests
in common—politieally and socially, and
neither could exist without the other.

land is our best customer, but thousands of
pounds of these cured and salted meats find
their way into France and Germany under
finglish brands. At all events, the American
hog finds ready customers somewhere in
Europe. :

 

The siopkion. of ie Standard time has
brought out nearly 400 applications for pat-
ents for clock dials intending to present the
twenty-four hours in a convenient manner
and without unduly crowding the figures to-
gether. A large number of these applica-

tions has been rejected, upon evidence found |:

ih amusty old volume that Prince Solty-
..koff once possessed a watch, made in 1547,
upon the dial of which appeared the hours |
from one to twenty-four, arranged in two
‘concentric circles.

 

 

The Cadillac ees gives place to THE
ENADESMAN’S strictures on the movement on
foot at that place to inaugurate a new furni-
ture establishment, prefacing the clipping
with the following evasive answer to the
statements made:

THE MicHIGAN TRADESMAN, of Grand
Rapids, makes the following comments on the
Cadillac Manufaeturing Co. Butas the object
of the organization is merely to give employ-
anent to the skilled mechanics who are out of
work, and not as a money making affair, we
are of the opinion that THe TRADESMAN is
in an error. We can manufacture hard wood
furniture, ete., cheaper here than they can at
Grand R tapids, and with proper management,
the enterprise cannot fail of making a suc-
C@SS.

An undertaking of the character above de
scribed—“not to make money, but to furnish
employment to men out of work’—will

 

 

 

be something new in the way of charitable
movements, and the outcome will be looked
for with a considerable degree of interest.
While the object aimed at is praiseworthy in
the extreme, it is yet doubtful whether it can
be accomplished:in the manner indicated.

 

The time has gone by when a President’s
Message can be a document of more than or-
dinary importance. All the subjects with
which it necessarily deals have long before
been diseussed by the press and canvassed
by the people. In a word, it is like a guide-
book which tells nothing new, and is neces-
oy only because it is a part of the routine. |

But for all this it may be well-written and |
entitled to respect on that aecount—it has a
certain weight, even if it is deficient in liter-|
ary merit, for it is the formulated declara-|
tions of the nation to the rest of the world, |
and of the party in power upon questions of
home import through its chief, who is at the |
same time the head of the nation. President |
Arthur’s third message is a document which
answers every requirement of a State paper |
of its kind. It is well-written, and it is not |
too long. It considers all questions of na-'
tional or international importance calmly, |
and its recommendations are terse, vigorous |
and pointed. In every respect it is credit- |
able to the President and the country, and
though it may not be rea@,a second time, its:
suggestions will give a éw and fresh impe-|
tus to the thoughts of the people, and itjwill |
have no inconsiderable influence upon the |
‘country.

Notwithstanding the depression caused by |

illac firms will putin logs this winter, though
the operations of each are likely to be much
more limited than usual.

The Port Huron Chief of Police cut down |

cially and otherwise. At the annual meet-
ing, held recently, repor ts were made show-
ing that the net earnings of the corpor ation,

amounted to 16 per cent. of the capital in-

was accordingly declared.

i
i

| the business interests of the place. -

N. Halsted, the Greenville grocer who re-
| cently failed, ‘offers to settle with his credi-
‘ tors on the basis of 50 per cent. It is stated

Pine Lake, burned recently. Most of the
| machinery was saved in shape for future

lost by fire within afew years, and_he has
not had a cent of insurance on, any of them.

Muskegon News: The Montague broom
stick factory turns out 10,000 of these
weapons of war daily. The depr avity of the

| age is illustrated by the fact that some of our

exchanges suggest, in a roundabout way,
' that Montague is a paradise for married wo-
men.

The foundation walls for Chas. H. Loom-
is’s new hardware store at Sparta are com-
pleted, and a large force of men is at work
getting up the frame, which will be imme-
diately enclosed, with a view to completing
most of the inside work during the winter
months.

The Newaygo Circuit Court has denied
the right of the Muskegon Booming Co. to
flood the banks of the streams in driving
logs. This is one of the first intimations a
booming company has received of late that
tends to disabuse it of the idea that it owned
the earth and nobody else had any rights
therein.

‘THE ALABASTINE COMPANY,

WINDOW

ALABASTINE!

SEE

Alabastine is the first and only prepara- |
tion made from calcined gypsum rock, for
application to walls with a brush, and is
fully covered by our several patents and
perfected by many years of experiments. |
It is the only permanent wall finish, and
admits of applying as many coats as de-
sired, one over another, to any hard surface
without danger of scaling, or noticeably
adding to the thickness of the wall, which |
is strengthened and improved by each ad-|
ditional coat, from time to time. It is the
only material for the purpose not dependent
upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore |
it is the only preparation that is claimed
to possess these great advantages, which
are essential to constitute a durable wall
finish. Alabastine is hardened on the wall
by age, moisture, etc.; the plaster absorbs
the admixtures, forming a stone, cement,
while all kalsemines, or other whitening
have inert soft chalks, or
glue, for their base, which are rendered
soft, or scaled, in a very short time, thus
necessitating the well-known great incon-
venience and expense, which all have ex-
perienced, in washing and scraping off the
old coats before refinishing. In addition
to the above advantages, Alabastine is less
expensive, as it requires but one-half the
number of pounds to cover the same amount
of surface with two coats, is ready for use
by simply adding water, and is easily ap-!
plied by any one. |
