ALABASTINE! SERUTTTHNGS 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 avall 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 5 furthermore it is the only preparation that ts 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 kalsomines, or other whitening preparations, 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 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. hehe ekheeeek ———_ FOR SALE BY-—_ ALL Paint Dealers. ——MANUFACTURED BY——- THE ALABASTINE COMPANY M.

As the time for spring trade is fast ap- proaching, we take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to an institution whose constantly increasing business speaks well for the merits of the article they pro- duce. The Boralumine Company have com- pleted arrrangements by which they can fur- | nish unlimited quantities of the “best wall finish on the market.” While Boralumine makes a harder finish than other compounds it is not necessary to use it at once to keep it from spoiling en the workman’s hands. Boralumine can be used some days after being mixed with boiling water for use, and is better and works easier after standing for afew hours. Other compounds, if not used within a few hours after mixing, are worth- less. It would be well for all interested in this line of goods to look into the merits of this article before laying in their spring stock. The following we clip from the Commercial World and United States Ex- porter, of New York, which gives a clear and concise description of the article: The finish that is applied to the walls of most of our modern houses is, unless very expensive, of a highly unsatisfactory nature. The ordinary “hard finish’ is very satisfac- tory as long as it keeps clean, but when once soiled it cannot be renewed. Only three courses are open to the decorater. He must paint, paper or kalsomine it. The first is too expensive to be applied to common. uses, the porous walls taking an enormous quanh- tity of expensive paint to properly cover them. The surface formed being entirely im- pervious to moisture and non-porous, any moisture in the room is liable to condense on it, to which fact is attributed by physicians in some cases the aceumulation of disease germs, especially where any infectious com- plaints have been treated in the building. Paper, on account of its expense, lack of du- rability, liability to damage, and faculty of harbering vermin, is with most families un- popular, while kalsomine, a compound of glue or size and whiting, becomes disinter- gated by the decomposition of the organic substance, and is brushed off on everything coming in contact with it. It must be washed off completely if any other decoration is to pe used, or even a fresh coat is to be effectu- ally applied. Against these many defects many com- plaints have been made, but it was left for discoverers of Boralumine to find a substance obviating them. In western Michigan enor- mous deposits of hard sulphate of lime, or rock gypsum, as it is technically called, exist, and frem this substance, by a process covered by letters patent, the Boralumine Company, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, have succeeded in producing a wall finish that surpasses in durability and handsome appearance any- thing in the market. Supplied in the form of a powder and applied after mixing to the required consistency with warm water, it forms a hard coating, with all the porosity of a hard finish, hardening with age, and which can be applied, one coat over the other, as often as the walis need covering. It will set firmly over old kalsomine and form a perfect hard finish, and it may be applied with equal suceess to a wall that has been previously papered, as long as the loose portions are re- moved. Used thickly it ferms a durable stopping for cracks, etc., and it will give to a sand finished wall an appearance equal to the best hard finished work. Protected with a light coat of oil paint it forms the most du- rable coating for exterior work, and is, in fact; from the perfection with which it stops all pores in the wood, a most durable and ecomomical wood filler. Being furnished in every tint required, it is a both effective and durable malerial for fresco and scene paint- ing work, while it will never rub off, nor do splashes of water on it spoil its surface. Finally, it is essentially a cheap substance, of great covering capacity and easily ap- plied, there being no stiffness in working, as in kalsomine. It is put on precisely like the latter, with a brush, and additional coats may be laid on immediately, one after the other, though it is better to wait until each is dry. To many readers of the Commercial World among builders, the decorating trades, plasterers and others, we commend Bora- lumine as an excellent substitute for the de- fective wall finishes now in use, and we would advise them to apply to the Com- pany as above for their price list, which contains further valuable information on the subject; but above all, to obtain a sample from them, at small cost, and try it them- selves. Ask-your jobber for prices and any other information. Figures in the Sunderland Failure. Carlos O. Sunderland, dealer in groeeries at Lowell, has made an assignment to C. O. Smedley, of this city.

The Grocer’s Wooing. The grocer loved a charming girl, As lovely as the day; He wondered if she’d marry him, And said, ‘‘ Let’s Soap she may.” And straightway to‘her house he went, Her lovely: face to see, Exclaiming, ‘‘ Ah, I know full well That Cheese the girl for me.” The girl was very kind, and said That she was very glad To see him there, and then remarked What a bad Coffee had. And soon they got most intimate, She let him kiss her brow, But when he spoke of marriage, said ‘Oh, do not Teas me now.”’ The grocer’s spirits fell at this, He felt as though he’d die, And hinted at a’suicide, While she Bacon to cry. ‘““You silly boy, you don’t suppose _ ]’m blind to all your merits,” It’s evident she knew a way Oi Raisin up his “‘sperits.” But true love’s course did ne’er run smooth, Her father saw them kiss; And kicked him from the room, and said, “You'd Biscuit out of this.” And thus adjured he soon got out, It hardly need be said; And tumbling headlong down the stairs, Mustard-ly hit his head. ‘*Oh, father, you are cruel, to * So roughly handle us;” Thus spoke the girl, and father said— “T think it’s Candle us.” Papa relented when he saw His child begin to ery; “There, there, you think my treatment harsh, , My daughter, Soda I. “There, keep your lover, dry your eyes, And let’s have no more row; I did not like the man, but my Opinions Salt-ered now.”’ The two were wed, and made a pair By no means "il-assorted; And happy ever after were, It’s Current-ly reported. MAKING CANDLES. Some Facts About the Light of Other Days. “Not one hundredth part of the number of candles are sold now in comparison with 55 years ago,” said a prominent grocer yester- day. “Oil, gas and the electric light are the great enemies of the candle, yet there are some people who still use them.” “What kinds are used?” “Palm, tallow and wax. The Catholic ehurches require a large number for the fes- tivals, many being of the best quality. Most- ly palm eandles are used, but the two eu- charist lights must be of wax. So particular are some of the Catholic clergy in getting them pure that I have known them to order them from Rome.” ‘How are candles made?’, “In moulds and by dipping. The ordinary tallow candle is made by placing cotton wick in moulds and pouring melted tallow in them and letting them cool. Wax is not adapted to moulding in consequence of the contraction which it undergoes in cooling and the tenacity with which it adheres to the sides of the moulds. Wax candles are made by properly cutting and twisting and warming a set of wicks. These are attached to a stick or ring suspended over a basin of melted wax. This wax is poured from the top from a ladle while each wick is kept twisted. This process is continued until the candle is of sufficient thickness. While hot they are rolled with a flat piece of wood in order to make them round. The large can- dles used in Catholie churches are made by placing a wick on a slab of wax, bending this together and then rolling it into shape.” “How many candle power does an electric light possess?” “One of the Brush electric lights has 1,000 candle power and somewhat eclipses the light of other days.” Carpet Salesmen.

GOOD BYE, PAISA. The Lowell Bill Favored by the Convention at The Newmans Reiuse To Make Further Offers +Washington. At the session of the National Bankrupt | Law Convention held at Washighton last week the special committee appointed to pre- | pare a bill for submission to Congress report- _edin favor of thebill prepared in 1880 by _ Judge Lowell of the United States Circuit ' Court at the request the Board of Trade of ' Boston,as revised by the Judiciary Committee ' of the United States of last Congress. They reported 40 amendments to the bill, most of ‘them merely verbal changes, which were ' adopted. A resolution was also adopted ' direeting each of the Commercial bodies ' represented in the Convention to urge the bill adopted by the Convention upon the at- | tention ef senators and representatives in : their respective districts. LOCAL OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT. Representative Fletcher says that there is crying need for bankruptcy legislation at the present time, but doubts whether it can be secured at this session of Congress. Mr. Houseman, he says, is inclined to think that the majority of the members are in favor of such legislation, but from all he has read and heard otherwise, he is inclined to form a contrary opinion. L. E. Hawkins says that he has studied the question carefully and come to the con- clusion that we want no national bankrupt law—especially a law drafted in the in- terest of Eastern creditors. If Grand Rapids jobbers were selling in other states, they might be in favor of a national law, but as it is, a good state law is far prefer- able. Mr. Hawkins is acquainted with the sentiments of Detroit merchants on_ this question, and states that they are almost without exception unqualifiedly opposed to the measure. SOME OBJECTIONS, TO THE LAW. From the Detroit News. A number of business men calling them- selves the national bankrupt law conven- tion have been discussing the Lowell bank- rupt law at Washington for some days past, and have resolved to urge its passage upon Congress. The bill was proposed in 1880 by Judge Lowell of the United States Cir- cuit at the request of the Board of Trade of Boston, and revised by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It was ef.course inspired ehiefly by the interests of those by whose request it was prepared, and might be expeeted to con- cern itself chiefly with the wishes of the creditor. It is a measure for liquidation by arrangement. The career of a bankrupt may be reviewed for six months previous to bankruptcy; a majority in number with three-fourths in valuevis required to make a composition. With these limitations the whole matter is in the hands of the cred- itors, the minority having no redress for any wrong that may be committed. A Commis- sioner in Bankruptcy, at a salary of $2,000 a year, presides over the meetings of the ered- itors, but has no power to correct their ac- tion. Western members of Congress should not too hastily commit themselves to the support of this measure, merely because a convention of business men assembled at Washington and approved it. It should be remembered that the gentlemen who recom- mended it, may, and probably do, all repre- sent one side and one interest. It is not ab- seluty necessary to have a bankrupt law of any sort this session. The lack of such a law is forcing business men to depend more upon their own prudence than upon legal processes to avoid losses, and the result is that business is being done in a very con- servative way, With short credits and fre- quent settlements. Losses by failures are very small—less, it is said, than half of one percent. on the volume of business. It would doubtless be better to have a uniform bankrupt. law, but it should be carefully studdied with a view to the interests and wishes of all sections and classes, and not solely with a view to one section or olass.

Newman & Co., had an inter view with Louis Redlich on the 18th, and a conclusion was reached that it would be un- wise to make any offer of compromise with the creditors, as the latter would not.be likely to accept such an offer as the New- mans would be inclined to make. Mr. Fletcher stated that the reports which had come through the telegraph at two different times to the effect that meetings of the ered- itors of the firm had been held at Boston, and offers of 40 per cent. refused, were with- out foundation in fact, so far as offers to compromise are concerned, as no action of the kind had been taken. The reports were probably sent out at the instance of certain Boston creditors, who took that means to coerce the Newmans into some sort of a set- tlement. It was Mr. Fletcher’s opinion that nothing further would be done in the matter by the Newmans, and that the creditors would receive only the amount now in the hands of the assignee—a mere bagatelle of their claims. Mr. E. G. Studley, who is interested to the tune of over $2,000, does not think the cred- itors will ever realize anything worth men- tioning—probably not to exceed 2 per cent. When the Newmans offered to settle on the basis of 30 per cent. cash and 10 per cent. paper, he strenuously advised the acceptance of the compromise, but was over-ruled by the majority of the creditors, who had been mislead by certain local legal firms, the lat- ter promising to secure the amounts in full. Subsequent events have proved that Mr. Studley was right in the matter, and that if his advice had been heeded, much useless expense would have been aveided, and cred- itors would have secured no inconsiderabte- percentage. He understands that the New- mans claim that the loss ef their stock and business here is a great damage to them, that the legal assistance they have been com- pelled to employ has been an additional ex- pense of several hundred dollars, so that they are not new likely to make any further overtures looking toward a settlement, ¥e- solving to allow the creditors to take the amount in the hands of the assignee, and whistle for the remainder. The Newmans, one and all, bag and_ bag- gage, have left the city—for the city’s good. “BRADY IN LIMBO. Invoking the Aid of the Law in Collecting Debts. From all reports, Luther contains two fain- sized specimens of the worst variety of insol- vent debtors—the class who pay only when compelled to do so to escape prosecution. And if the reports of the mercantile agencies and the grievous complaints of interested creditors are to be believed, A. Brady de- serves to take first rank is the grand array of dishonest delinquents. Brief mention was made last week to this worthy’s ability to escape deserved punishment, and this week we are enabled to chronicle another episode in his business career. He lately purchased a considerable amount of produee from M. C. Russell, the commission dealer doing bus- iness on Ottawa street. If coming to the latter’s notice that Brady was selling canned goods 33 per cent. less than they cost him in Grand Rapids, and flour below the cost .of manufacture, Russell concluded to dispateh his right-hand salesman, . LA. Miller, to the scene of trouble. Miller reported ‘that the rumors to the effect that Brady was dispes- ing of his goods at less than cost prices were true, and was instructed to push his claim. Invoking the aid of a limb of the law at Reed City, Miller proceeded to cause Brady’s arrest on a charge of fraud. . The latter disclaimed having any wrong inten- tions toward his crediters, offered to settle, but denied having any money at command, This latter statement Miller was inclined ‘to disbelieve, and asserted that Brady must either pay up or answer the consequences. After parleying over the matter several hours, Brady suddenly remembered that he had a roll of bills in his bedroom, and on being taken there by an officer produced no inconsiderable amount of money, paying Miller’s claim in full and the costs involved, and was released from custody. It was the second time he had been arrested on a simi- lar charge and promises not to be the last. In the mean time, interested parties would do well to secure their claims. _ Late Furniture Gossip. Wickett & Wiegend have engaged in the retail furniture business at White Pigeon. It is stated that a man in Ionia county ob- tained a wholesale rate on a coffin for his child by promising the undertaker the order for a coffin for his wife, whom he expected to die soon. Several heavy buyers have put in an ap- pearance during the past week. ‘They all agree that stocks are sold very low, and al? have placed large orders. The mail business is unexpectedly interesting, and every indi- cation points to an active and profitable spring business. Grand Rapids manufacturers are making more mahogany goods this spring than ever before, and visiting buyers are purchasing heavily, instead of going East for this elass of furniture. The latter claim that our goods are superior in workmanship and possess greater variety than those turned out at any other market. Sound Advice. A man who knows how ta take eare of his business says: Standing advertisements in a paper inspire confidence. The man who for a year resides in a community and lives a reputable life, even though he be of moderate ability, wil} grow in the confidence and esteem of his fellows. On the same princple a newspaper advertisement becomes familiar in the eye of the reader. It may seldem be read, yet it makes the name and business of a man fa- mmiliar and its presence in the eolumns*of a paper inspires confidence in the stability of the advertiser. Practical glass-workers at Pittsburg wilh go to Toledo/and start a window-glass fac- tory, backed by the capitalists of the latter place.

Advertising rates made known on application. | WEDNESDAY, JAN. 23, 1884. . w= Subscribers and others, when writing to. advertisers, will confer a favor on the pub- lisher by mentioning that they saw the adver- tisement in the columns of this paper. i In the death of Fred Spring, the dry goods trade loses one of its most energetic work- prived of a conscientious adviser and con- servator of their interests. The United States, in its dealings with foreign countries, sold more than it bought This is a healthy condition of af- fairs; yet as we paid tens of millions of dol- iars to foreign ship owners for transporta- tion, it would be difficult to say upon which side of the national ledger the balance will The conflagration at Lowell on Saturday, involving losses three times in excess of the a4nsurance, emphasizes the suggestions made in THe TRADESMAN last week relative to the advisability of keeping well insured. No business man can afford to ignore the question of insurance, and the more precari- ous the risk, and the greater the amount of goods bought on credit, the more pertinent the question becomes. The present season is proving particularly disastrous to ‘‘wooden towns,”’ without adequate fire-pro- tection, and the sooner uninsured merchants make a move in the matter, the better it will be for themselves, their creditors, and the towns in which they are located. The most Successful journalistic venture in the West for many years is the Detroit Evening Journal. It is now only four months old and has a circulation ef nearly 17,000, with an increase of from 100 to 500 every week. Its special attention to Michi- gan matters has already made it a faverite throughout the State, aad uo Detroit paper coyers the ground more fully. It is now an established institution, and no daily in the West can point to a like success in the same space of time, no evening paper publishes more complete telegraphic news, and its mar- aet reports are endorsed by the Detroit Board of Trade as the most reliable and sat- isfactory arrangement of commercial news given to Michigan readers. As will be seen in another column, the convention which met at Washington last week mainly to review the Lowell bank- ruptcy bill, but presumably to deal in an advisory way with all cognate legislation, resolved to reecommend the Lowell draft to Congress, after adding some amendments. The necessity for uniformity in bankruptcy matters is out of all question, but the diffi- culty has been to devise a measure that would fairly meet the varying conditions of commerce and equitablyfsecure the interests of ereditor and debtor alike. Honest cred- itors and honest debtors are not the only people to be considered. There are, unfor- tunately, dishonest debtors dealing with honest creditors, and honest debtors dealing with grasping creditors. The adjustment of the differences likely to arise under these varying circumstances is what forms the difficulty of legislation, and renders it extremely unlikely that a measure of this kihd will be passed at the present session of Congress. Michigan merchants and manu- facturers may safely be set down as opposed to the proposed law. There are reasons for believing that the climax of railroad building in this country, which, for eighteen years past, has absorbed so large a proportion of the national energy, whaas been passed, and that from this time forth it will be prosecuted in a moderate manner. ‘The mileage built in 1883 shows a falling off of 4,981 miles from the preceding year—6,608 for 1883 and 11,591 .for 1882; and it shows a falling off, too, as compared with each preceding year from 1879. The geuntry is now pretty well supplied with railroads, having an aggregate of 120,000 miles. Nearly all the needed trunk lines are built in the East and West, and the work of adding the necessary branches as they are demanded will not require a large amount of energy or capital. Many of the Eastern states are completely equipped, and even branch road building in them is ended. The Southern and some of the Western states, Michigan among them, still show considera- | ble activity in completing their impérfect | systems, but in a few years their systems will be perfected, and then railroad building | will cease to possess the importance in has | possessed since the war. | | ricultural tools was the chief industry, was 296. Nearly all these works have largely increased their capaeity lately, and most of them have about them all the evidences of prosperity. The aggregate output of these establishments does not, indeed, constitute a formidable proportion of the total production | of the country, but it indieates a remarkable advance in a field hitherto almost monopo- lized by the North aud West, a result which is not less encouraging than the fact that Southern cotton-mills in the past three years went up from 713,989 spindles to 1,276,422, an increase of 80 per cent. —————— 1t will certainly be a mistake to prevent the circulation of one and two dollar bills, as some congressmen propose, by refusing the needed appropriation to replace muti- lated bills. The idea that the silver dollar can be forced into the place of the small bank notes may be all right so far as the mere substitution is concerned, but it is im- possible for any coin to wholly meet the needs subserved by the small bills. One and two dollar notes are especially needed for mail remittances, for which the postal notes and money orders are not available in many eases. If it could be so arranged that the postal notes could be issued by any post- master the necessity for small treasury notes and bank bills would be lessened, but there would still be a limited sphere of usefulness subserved by them and nothing else. Con- gress should not be too hasty to aet upon this plan of driving.small notes out of exis- tence, but reflect that the conveniences of the people merit some consideration. The with- drawal of all the small notes will inevitably result in an increased use of postage stamps as money, a purpose for which they are not only ill adapted but which they cannot sub- serve without a considerable damage to the Government, since the direct result of such use is to unduly increase the compensation paid many pnostmasters.

The Furman stock was sold on the 17th to Frank H. Furman, of Wellsville, N. Y., brother of the assignor, for 50 per cent. of the inventory schedule, which amounted to $2,707.36.

If you have happened to notice Charley McConnell, book-keeper for Shields, Bulkley & Lemon, skulking through the back streets, enveloped in an overcoat three or four times too large for him, don’t imagine that he is a charitable individual and has bestowed his own garment on some shivering pauper. It was taken without leave by a clever thief, and Charley is dependent upon the generosity of his brother-in-law until his tailor can turn out another beaver. Fred Spring, junior member of the firm of Spring & Company, and manager of the wholesale department of the house, died sud- denly Friday morning, after a brief illness. The funeral was held on Sunday, and was largely attended.

The Spiral Spring buggy is universally conceded to embody more desirable fea- tures than any other vehicle now on the market. The spring is a model of simplicity and compactness, and will last for years, without fear of breakage. Aside from the patents owned by the company, the super- iority of its workmanship is a matter of com- mon acknowledgment. Advance in Tobacco. We stated in last week’s TRADESMAN that we anticipated an advance in to- baceoes, and it has come a little sooner than looked for. Peerless smoking and some of the different brands of plugs ad- vanced 2c per pound on the 16th inst. We will not advance the price of our cele- brated Grayling Plug ‘Tobacco until com- pelled to do so; but would advise all of our friends to place their orders at once, as we can not tell when the advance will come. HAWKINS & PERRY, Wholesale Grocers, and Proprietors of the Grayling Tobaccoes. Grand Rapids, Mich. The Grocery Market. Groceries are doing a little better and we would not be surprised to See higher prices on a number of articles in that line. Loose Muscatels are again higher, with no change in Valencias. Currants are higher. Our prophecy on white fish has already been verified, and there has been a material ad- vance. They are still a safe purchase. Adams’ smoking tobaccoes are all up two cents—see change in quotations. There is nothing new to note in sugars and syrups, the market on yellew sugars being particu- larly firm. ‘There isno let up in coffees. Canned goods are still very quiet. It is hardly time for much of a stir in them yet, but it will come, and when it does we look for higher prices. We don’t say “a boom,” but we consider present prices favorable to the buyer. D. G. Hall, the Ithaca druggist, who re- cently “sold out,” having $5,700 worth of stock, has nothing left for his creditors. F.J.
