From the Clothing, Furnishing and Hat Re-| porter. WORK AND WAGES. Cadillac—Earnings of the Laborers. A Cadillac correspondent writes: The number of feet of lumber cut at the several The standing collar which laps in front— | mills at Cadillac for the year 1883 and the commonly known as the “lap collar” — which a year ago was worn only by the ultra fashionable, is to-day the ene mest univer- sally used. It is the most becoming standing collar yet intreduced. It gives an erect bearing, protects the neck from the cold, and is especially appropriate for fall, winter and spring wear. Many a man wishes to wear a lap collar who feels he cannot be- cause his neck is too short. This is @ mis- taken impression, for the collar is made ina variety of heights, from one ‘and one-eight inches to two and one-half inches, cut straight or curved, and is adapted to almost any shape or size of the neck. The average dealer who carries much of a line of these goods, has at least from three to four heights of the square-end lap collar in stock. The round-end collar of this kind, though neat and pretty, is being somewhat discarded. The extremely high collar, two and one-half inches, will not be very popular this season. It is even now being dropped in London and New York City. style to be a favorite. Of the lap collars, | band, solid collars, are much worn, for the reason that whatever width of tie or searf- band is worn that there is no collar-band to be seen. In nicely made collars of this kind the interlinings are removed around the button-holes, that the collar may be easily buttoned. Manufaeturers anticipate a larger sale than ever of the lap collar, which will be in great demand until hot weather comes, when most men seek comfort in a turned-down collar. : Standing collars having a space in’ front * Mre shown and sold freely in some sections of the country, every section, perhaps, in a moderate degree. A _ high collar coming close together in front, haying the points abruptly bent over, has lately been intro- duced by a leading Troy house. 5 The folded or turned-down collar is not as frequently seen as it was a year ago. The collar having abeut one inch space, being about two inches deep at the points in front, and cut almost staight down, is much sought after; while collars having one-half, seven- eights, one and one-fourth to one and one- half inches space, and being two or two and one-half inches deep, are sold frequently, according to the shape of the tie or scarf to be worn. In buying fine folded collars dealers should see that the band is curved sufficiently to make room between the collar and the band, that the tie or scarf band may be easily adjusted when the eollay is button- ed, and that the band is properly shaped to fit the shirt. It is necessary to the well- fitting and comfort of a folded collar that the band be narrow at the point where it passes over the shoulder blade. These two points are essential to the successful sale of any turned-down collar. “That a collar should have two button- holes in the back is hardly necessary. The upper butten-hole is the one commonly used. Using the lower one tends to throw the top of the collar onto the neck, making it un- comfortable and ill-fitting. No cuff yet introduced has been such a favorite as the plain, square band. It is safe to say that its equal in sale will never be produced. The only objection ever made to it is that when poorly laundried, the corners will roll up and look badly. This fact alone, perhaps, caused the production of what man- ufacturers call the double, yound-end cuff. It is the square cuff having the corners sharply rounded off. ‘This cuff will be, per- haps, the most popular the ceming season. Tt is shown in widths from three and one- half to four and one-eight inches. The nar- rowest are reversible and answer every pur- pose of the wider ones, being at the same time more comfertable. A cuff about three and three-quarters inches wide will be the one most commonly used. Linked cuffs will continue to be worn on dress occasions. One of the most gratifying prospects of the collar and cuff trade is the growing ten- dency to use fewer and more staple styles. This means a better profit to the manufac- turer, and especially to the dealer. It is a weleome prospect and deserves encourage- ment. A Slight Inconsistency. A pair of embroidered, fancy-looking sus- penders hung in frout of a store, and a young farmer halted to examine them. “Something new?” he asked, as the pro- prietor came out. “Shust oudt, my friend. suspenders.” “Are you sole agent?” : “TJ yash. Dot batent came out about two vheeks ago, und my brudder in New York sends me a sheb lot yesterday. You can’t buy ’em no blace else.”’ “They don’t look very strong.” “What? If you can break dose suspenders by shumping over nine fences I gif you den bairs !’’ “J wonder how they’!l wear?” “Shust like iron. Here ish a bair of dot batent,” he replied as he unbuttoned his yest, “dot I haf worn over two y’ars.” The farmer had gone before the dealer saw where he had made the slip, and then he looked after the retreating figure and mused: “T guess I let der batent part alone und go in heavy on the embroidery peesness Y Dosh ish batent Composition of Dynamite. Those who have never seen the much talked of dynamite explosive will be ‘inter- ested to know that it looks very much like moist brown sugar. Nitro-glycerine, which is formed by the action of nitric acid upon glycerine, at a low temperature, is the active agent in dynamite, but is mixed with some absorbemt ubstance to render it safer to han- dle than the liquid glycerine. The absorbent material thus used is a silicious earth—a fine white powder eomposed of the remains of infusoria, and resembling powdered chalk ; this takes up two or three times it weight of the nitro-glyerine, without becoming pasty, and the ingredients are easily mixed, leaden vessels and wooden spoons being used to avoid dangerous friction. When flame is applied to this mass it burns with a strong flame, without any explosion; but when ignited by a detonating fuse, or even by a sudden blow, it explosive force is tremen- dous. Minden City is to have a new bakery. It is too uncemfortable a} those made without a} pay rolls for the same time, are as follows: Cut—J. Cummer & Son, 13,768,901; Cum- mer lumber company, 14,925,046; Cobbs & Mitchell mill, No. 1, 18,171,823; Cobbs & Mitchell mill, No. 2, 13,449,334; Mitchell Bros. & Murphy, 12,776,925; Martheson & White, 8,885,100; O.S. Whitmore, 10,153,- 876; P. Harfly, 14,775,043. Pay roll—J. Cummer & Son, $36,388.70: Cummer lumber company, $43,626.02; Cobbs & Mitchell, No. 1, $17,843.80; Cobbs & Mitchell, No. 2, $17,179.67; Martheson & White, $14,938.16. In addition to the amount of lumber cut, 27,000,000 of shingles have been manufac- tured. They bring from $1.75 to $3.25 on the cars. O. S. Whitmore’s mill ran up to Novem- ber 1, making 10 months, and Martheson & White’s from June 1, seven months. James Haynes & Sons, proprietors of the Cadillac planing mills, dressed and shipped during the year 1883, 766 cars of lumber, carrying 9,320,668 feet the expense of which was $14,461.54. Business, though not so quiet as for the previous two months, is not yet active. Plenty ef stoek could be sold if the manu- facturers were not afraid of their customers, or did not demand immediate returns. The stock now on hand is the largest known for years, being double that of the same date in 1883. Up to the ist of October the highest standard of wages had been maintained. At that time they were reduced 15 per cent. Common laborers receive from $1.50 to $1.75 per day; skilled laborers from $2 to $3 in the mills. This compares favorably with that paid elsewhere. “Up north” wages in the woods run from $14 to $16 per month. Menare plenty and work is scarce. Burned Out With Total Loss. Norman Harris, the genial general dealer at Big Springs, suffered the loss of his build- ings and stock early last Wednesday morn- ing, while he was on his way to this market. The fire was discovered in the rear of a woedshed, and was possibly of incendiary origin. It rapidly spread to the house and store building adjoining, destroying both with their entire contents. Mr. Harris esti- mates his loss on buildings at $1,000, $2,500 on stock, and $2,000 on household furniture. He had no insurance, but as he has lately been discounting all his bills, his stock was nearly all paid for, and he has enough left to begin again. He has let the contract for erecting a new store building 20x50 feet in size, and two stories high, work on which was begun Monday. He hopes te have it in shape to resume business within two or three weeks. THE TRADESMAN tenders Mr. Harris its full measure of sympathy, assuring him that it is a source of regret that he has not headed the many suggestions made of late relative to the advisability of keeping well insured. His misfortune may be of profit to others by serving as a warning to those who might poreene be caught in the lurch in case of a e. “Late Business Changes. The following business changes, failures, embarrassments, etc., occuring up to the hour of going to press, are furnished THE TRADESMAN by the mercantile agencies: Alma—Geo. E. Passmore, grocer, sold out. Alleyton—Proctor & Co., lumber, succeed- ed by Wm. Davenport. Battle Creek—L. R. Williams, grocer, sold out. Cedar Springs—J. Lovejoy & Co., hard- ware, closed under chattel mortgage. Jackson—Holden &. Larrabee, hats and caps, sold out to A. M. Tinker & Co. Lakeview—W. J. Taylor, hotel, sold out and gone to Pierson. St. Joseph—A. K. Webster & Co., sold out out to J. A. Sidel. Nhshville—Jos. M. Wood, blacksmith and founder, burned out; loss $5,000, insured for $3,000. Lowell—Miller & Yeiter, drugs, dissolved, Yeiter succeeding. Harrison—D. M. Hunter, drugs, sold out to H. J. Andersen. Late Furniture Gossip. *aton, Lyon & Allen are getting out an il- lustrated, thirty-page catalogue for the Wor- den Furniture Co. The Cincinnati Coffin Makers’ Associa- ation embraces thirty-three firms, represent- ing $8,000,000 capital. There are 500 undertakers in the State, and 102-are connected with the association which met here last week. Agents of a New York firm are scouring the woods of Arkansas for black walnut trees, for which $1 each is paid, the logs be- ing shipped to New Orleans. Jerome Carpenter, formerly engaged in the retail furniture business at Newaygo, but for the past six months out of trade and traveling in the South, has re-engaged in the same business at Newaygo. ** * Unsolicited Testimonials.

The notorious Brady, the swindling Luther dealer, is again arrested for fraud‘ this time at the instance of F. J. Detten- thaler, who is interested $120 worth. Mr, D. is on the field, and proposes to fight the matter to the bitter end. ODDS AND ENDS. Minor Information of Interest to Everybody. P. Lorillard has 35 horses for training for next season. San Francisco is preparing for a world’s fair in 1887. When business is dull competition is sharp, and there is consequently a good deal of cutting done. Among the novelties exhibited by Swiss watch makers are silver watches hanging for weeks in glass jars of water and keeping perfect. time. A woman whe has to keep the breakfast standing for her two indolent daughters un- ril 9 o’clock says this year is no different from all the rest. It’s always sleep year with them. The price of window glass has already ad- vanced very materially in consequence of the strike, which has been in progress five months, and although the demand at this season is light, it is probable that when pbuilding is resumed in the spring there will be a still greater increase in prices. The Pittsburg manufaeturers express the opinion that there will be no more glass manufac- tured before next September. The twenty-year contract of the Pullman Palace Sleeping-Car Co. with the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Co. expires during the pres- ent year. The Pennsylvania Co. expect to eease all connection with the Pullman Co., and are already engaged in the construction of magnificent new cars in their shops at Altoona to replace those of the Pullman Co. The new cars will be constructed after a plan and specifications furnished by a gen- tleman in New York. A family in Omaha fabricated an oyster pie of canned oysters, and variety was im- parted to the repasteby the finding of a hu- man finger in the dish. They, of course, could not find who had put his finger into the pie, it was so dextrously done; they did not find it out, they feund it in. The prob- ability is the addition was the result of a laudable ambition on the part of some Balti- more packer to give full weight solid meats in his oysters. A resident of Brooklyn who has lately re- turned frem a visit to the west of England tells of an Englishman who persisted in the belief that buffaloes furnished all the meat canned in America. After exhausting every argument to convince the Englishman of the absurdity of his idea, the Brooklyn man sar- castically admitted that the Englishman was right. “But,” he added, “‘while Iam making admissions, I may as well say that all the canned salmon in America is also made of buffalo meat.” An active movement has begun per refrig- erator cars on the Northern Pacific for ship- ping “steel head” fish to the Kast. Oregon papers protest against this exportation of the poorest fish in their waters, especially against the introduction of it as “Oregon salmon.” They say the deception will injure the fish trade of Oregon, when these steel heads are compared on the same siab or table with Sacramento salmon, per Central Pacific. The Board of Trade of Portland is asked to do something about it. A sugar refinery in St. Louis has recently made a very large purchase of Sandwich Is- land sugar, which will begin to arrive in February and continue until July. The quantity contracted for is 10,000 tons, or 20,- 000,000 pounds, valued at $1,500,000. The transportation of this sugar will be in the the hands of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. and the Central and Southern Pacific rail- roads, the former taking it at Honolulu and delivering to the railroads at San Francisco. The shipment will furnish tonnage for near- ly forty-five freight trains. Cheese is a very concentrated food; but cheese is an article than depends upon so many conditions that its quality cannot be determined for a large quantity by an exam- ination of a single sample. Dry as it seems, ene-third is water, one-third fat and one- third caseine. The fats are only partly di- gested, while a large portion of caseine is not digested at all. By some processes of manufacture the phosphates are rendered soluble and carried away'in the whey. Un- der what is known as the sweet-cured pro- cess the phosphates are retained, and such cheese is much more nutritious that that made by the acid process. It would more than repay a day’s sojourn at Jonkeping, says the Pall Mall Gazette, to visit the factory from whence proceeds not a small part of the light of the world. The latest novelty, only at work for about a month, is an enormous engine, which daily produces 1,000,000 boxes of Swedish matches. This wonderful machine receives the raw material, namely, blocks of wood at one end, and, after a while, gives up at the other the matches neatly arranged in their boxes, ready to be despatched to the uttermost ends of the world, The wood which in the course of last summer was brought over to Jonke- ping to be made into matches filled twenty steamers and eight sailing vessels. The charge that the Post Office Depart- ment is run in the interest of the express companies will, doubtless, be renewed, in view of Judge Gresham’s ruling upon the classification of sundry articles of -merchan- dise, such as printed labels, envelopes and letter heads, in which the.printing is not the principal thing. Goods of this kind here- after will not be rated as printed matter at 1 cent for two ounces, but must go as mer- chandise at 1 cent an ounce. As the law stands this regulation is sound—and a good deal sounder and more sensible than some postal rulings. Whether the law ought to be changed in the direction of lower rates for merchandise is another question, and one upon which there is something to be said on both sides. During the year 1883 the tomato pack of the United States reached 70,645,896 cans. This means nearly one and one-half cans per capita, for each man, weman and child in the country. How muck the canning in- dustry has grown within a year or two may be gleaned from the fact that while the pack of 1883 reaehed 2,943,579 cases, that of 1882 was 2,180,123 cases, and in 1881, 1,635,966 cases. Within two years, therefore, the in- dustry has almost doubled. Maryland is the banner state of the industry, and Harford county its stronghold. She packed this year nearly half of the total steck—1,450,000 cases. New Jersey comes next with 612,000 cases; Delaware third, 156,000; California fourth, 117,000; Ohio fifth, 112,000. All other States paeked less than 100,000 cases. EL MEHDI AND GUM ARABIC. The Soudanese Too Busy Fighting to Send Their Camel Loads to Kartoum. From the New York Sun. At the junction of the White Nile and the Blue, in Upper Nubia, east of the lower edge of the irregular brown patch which marks the edge of the desert of Sahara on the map of Africa, is the city of Khartoum, the ship- ping point of nearly all the gum arabic with which the markets of the world are supplied. Gum gedda, gum suakim, gum sennaar, are the names of the different qual- ities of the gum, each named from the dis- trict from which it comes, all being included within the Soudan district, in which the re- bellion of the followers of the false prophet has eecurred, One of the largest importers of gum in this country is a firm in William street. “El Mehdi’s rebellion,” said the head of this firm, “has cut eff the entire supply of gum arabic. It is gathered from the acacia trees by the Soudan natives, brought to Khar- toum on the backs of camels, and bartered with Cairo and Suakim merchants for guns, cartridges and trinkets. In the flood of October and November, when the Nile is at its highest point, and during the only times when barges will pass the falls, this gum is floated to Cairo, and shipped te London, Pasis, Marseilles and New York. The other great industry of the Soudan is the collection of ostrich feathers, but these also come from the Cape of Good Hope, so there is no dan- ger that the supply will be cut off.” “What is the consumption of gum arabic in this country?” “Between three millions and four millions of pounds a year. It is used by confectioners in their candies, and especially in gum drops ; by mucilage makers, envelope manufactur- ers, and tobacconists, and by silk makers and carpet manufacturers to hold their colors.” “Has there been a heavy advance in the price?” “It gas advanced in one year from 12 eents a pound in lots to from 22 to 24 cents. It advanced 30 per cent. in the last week. Most of the advance has been in the last four montns. ‘There’s no telling where it will stop. There isn’t enough gum arabic in sight in all the markets of the world _ to- day to supply America for one year. Still there’s enough in the country to meet the immediate demand: The natives of the Soudan are gathering none this year, and it is only a question of time when the supply will be gone. Here is a cablegram which’ we received on Jan. 7 from our Cairo house, to whom we telegraphed for prices. They say: “There is absolutely nothing offering.’ Two years ago the estimated quantity of gum arabic visible in all the markets was 24,000 bales, now it is 3,500 bales. If peace were to be declared to-morrow, of which there is no likelihood, and the natives should go to werk gathering gum, it could not be brought to Cairo until the next high Nile in October, 1884. But industries are so demor- alized that, even in the event of peace, it would be a long time before the natives would return to the gathering of gum.” “How will the failure of the supply of gum arabic affeet the gum-drop trade?” was asked a leading manufacturer. “My dear sir,” he said dropping into a confidential tone, ‘‘E] Mehdi might sink all the gum arabic in Africa into the Nile, and he wouidn’t affect the trade in American gum-drops. Asa matter of fact the candy trade would not suffer appreciably. There isn’t an ounce of gum arabic in a million pounds of the ordinary gum drops like those sold from stands in the streets. They are made from the glucose of the starch factor- ies, which is generally used in the finer grades of confectionery instead of gum arabic. Of course the candy suffers, but there is no limit to adulteration in the con- fectionery business. Now, here are two va- rieties of candy which I manufacture, either of which contains 333¢ per cent. of gum arabic. Only people who are skilled candy- eaters would know the difference between them and a cheaper article made from glu- cose. As the price of gum arabic increases, there will be very few genuine gum drops sold.” Howard Happenings... From the Record. C. E. Murray has his new building up. F. O. Lord is buying stone for his new block. Howard City will have a first-class opera house before another year gets around. S. H. Sweet has moved to Grand Rapids, where he will engage in the grocery business on South Division street. Chauncey Hess, who was arrested for stealing goods in this city the next day after the fire, was taken before Justice Perry, where he pleaded guilty to the eharge, but claimed that he got only one pound of cof- fee. He was fined $50 and costs, or 60 days in jail, which he settled. W. R. MeGiveren, of Lamsing, and Prof. R. CG. Carpenter, of the State Agricultural College, have been in town looking up the opening for a brick yard. They think that there is good clay here, and there is some prospect of Mr. McGiveren’s eoming to Howard and engaging in the business. Last Wednesday morning, when all was quiet in Hathaway & Bullock’s store, the top of the stove suddenly left its usual place of resting and tried to get out of the top of the building. ‘The door flew open and fire was scattered all over the floor. The cause of the commotion is, supposed to have been a loaded stick of wood. The report was heard twp blocks away. The damage was slight. California Millionaires. From the Gincinnati Enquirer. Who is the wealthiest man in California? “Jim Flood, worth $100,000,000; he is a liberal man and a shrewd one. He has built up on San Franeisco Bay a new port ealled Costa city, with magnificent store- houses and piers, from ich the wood of those rich countries are*shipped direct to Europe and the world. O’Brien, Flood’s partner, is dead, and his fortune distributed. Mackey, one of the bonanza crowd, is thought to be worth $60,000,000, and Jim Fair is ‘worth perhaps $40,000,000.” The newspaper foreman got a marriage notice among items headed “Horrors of 1883,” and when the editor learned that the groom was a groeery clerk, with an income of only $7 a week he said that it had better remain under that head. passed on, and still the man was poor. SIX INCHES OF STRING. The Story of a Factory That Covers an Entire Block. From the New York Sun. | ; | | { | REVIEW OF THE MARKETS, The Provision Market. Pork has advanced $1 per barrel sinee last week, and promises to go still higher “You see that large factory? It covers an, after the Ist. There are no surplus hogs, entire block. Half a million of money wouldn’t buy it. Well, it was built by a little piece of cord not more that six inches long.” Here the speaker paused and scrut- inized the reporter’s countenance for indl- cations of incredulity, not to say astonish- ment. But the narrator was talking to a mon who, since the introduction of the tele- phone, has made it a point of principle fo be ready for anything, and to believe all he hears. The speaker added: ‘Hight years ago there lived on the west side, in the third story of a cheap tenement, down on the North River, a poor mechanic, who was kept poor because he had a passion for inventing; it amounted to a passion. He didn’t drink and didn’t travel with poli- ticians, and all who knew his family won- dered why they should be so poor. Time But at last he perfected an invention—the sim- plest thing on earth—and with his patent in his hand he went down town one day, and ealled for the head of a house whose check was current for five figures anywhere in ‘the street.’ The inventor offered to sell two- thirds of his patent for $20,000 if the house would bind itself to put $100,000 into fae- teries for producing the little thing that he had invented. The firm signed papers in less than half an hour from the time of hearing the proposal, and in amother hour the in- ventor had converted the firm’s cheek for $20,000 into greenbacks. Lots were bought, and a factory was erected. The business speedily grew to gigantic proportions, and at length the firm acquired all the rest of the block, and covered it with brick and mortar, and now the inventor is able to asso- ciate with millionaires. The little glove fas- tener—a piece of cord about six inches long and a dozen little metal hooks or buttors—is the thing that was invented. Patents Issued to Michigan Inventors.

Edie that he will begin the erection of anew hotel early in the spring, and that it will be ready for the formal opening July 4. The dimentions will be 40x100 feet, three stories high, and it will be located on the spot where the old Casnovia Hotel burned. Robert Hanna has about consummated ar- rangements to erect a new heading, planing and shingle mill, 24x50 feet in size, with a wing for engine 14x26 feet. W. C. Denison, who has aequired the grist mill property, has just completed about $1,000 worth of repairs, including the ad- dition of a new purifier apparatus, and is now ready for business. W. H. Benedict is getting material in shape to erect a large store building early in 1885. Several new cottage residences, some of which will be a credit to the place, architect- ually, will be built the coming season. Sumac Leaves. According to a Baltimore paper the sumac business at Petersburg, Va., which but a few years ago was in its infancy, has reached large proportions, and become a very im- portant industry. The receipts of leaves this year will aggregate 7,000,000 pounds. Three large factories are kept in constant operation, and their products find ready sale. The Virginia sumac is said to be the best in the market, and has latterly largely superseded the foreign article. Hundreds of people make their living in the summer and early fall season by gathering leaves for hundreds.of miles around the country contributary to the Petersburg market. Progressive. An old negro and his son called on the ed- itor of a newspaper. “T wants my son ¢er work in yer office, sah.” “What can he do?” “Oh, at fust he kaint do nuthin’ but edick yer paper, but arter awhile, when he learns mo’ sense, he ken black yer: boots an’ sweep de flo’.” The camels that were empleyed in haul- ing freight across the dry wastes of Arizona for the Southern Pacific Railroad, now by natural increase 400 in number, have been bought by John Shirley, an Australian sheep farmer, and are to be used in hauling freight across the deserts in Australia. He got them for $10,000—much less than a like number of camels would cost him if he were to transport them from Africa. and pork is cheap now compared with the price of hogs. There is no possible chanee for cheap pork. Lard has remained about stationary, the extensive use of cotton seed oil preventing many of the variations inci- dent to the rise and fall of pork. Beef has not advanced for several days, but is bound to go higher before spring. The Fruit Market. Owing to heavy arrivals and cold, unfavor- able weather for shipping for the past week, the market is heavily over stocked and very low prices rule. The latest intelligence from New York conveys the information that over 100,000 boxes of oranges and lemons are stocked in the warehouses there, await- ing the advent of warmer weather. The candy tradeis better at present than at this time a year ago. The Dry Goods Market. There is said to be a slight weakening tendency in prices, although there is an act- ive movement in the Eastern markets, vast quantities of goods having changed hands— not in consequence of foreed sales, but on account of an increased demand. Barrels Superceding the Use of Hogsheads. Barrels are rapidly superceding hogsheads for carrying sugar, if a New Orleans author- ity is to be believed. For years Louisiana sugar went to market in hogsheads, and that vague term, a hogshead, which, like a bale of cetton, means nothing, and is no definite quantity, ranging anywhere from 900 to 1,500 pounds, has been the measure for sugar pro- duction. Ten years ago ninety-nine one-hun- dredths of the crop and more was shipped to New Orleans in hogsheads, and a few thou- sand pounds were barreled, principally for family use. In 1880, several planters bar- reled a portion of their crop, and found that it did well. It was a convenience to the boats and railroads, for a barrel ean be rolled easily and rapidly by one man, whereas a hogshead is moved with difficulty by five, especially when the river is low and the banks are steep and muddy,—and sugar in barrels was found to sell readily and well. In 1880, 6 per cent. of the sugar was shipped in barrels. This system of shipping was so successful that the percentage of barrels almost trebled during the next season, and 17 per cent., or one-sixth of the entire crop, came thus packed. Last year there was an- other inerease, and 22 per cent., or nearly one-fourth of the crop, was barreled instead of hogsheaded. This season the barrels seem to be all-powerful, and more than two- thirds of all the sugar that has reached New. Orleans so far has come in barrels, Seni ewes, Good Mercantile Advicé. If you are a merchant, study to please the person you expect to buy your goods; study the golden rules of square dealing; study system and study the price-lists of an inde- pendent mercantile paper.

But one thing, says an exchange, may be depended upon, viz: ‘You cannot put your goods helter skelter on your shelves and counters, and then sit down and expect the dollars to roll into your money drawer, any more than a farmer can expect, after putting in his seed potatoes, to sit in his parlor and let them grew. They will not do their own plowing and hoeing, and when ripe will not jump in the barrels, and start ‘for the market.” The Youth’s Companion. As a source of profitable entertainment for the family, no paper exceeds in interest the YouTH’s COMPANION. Its list of writers embraces the best names in periodical litera- ture, and it is evidently the aim of its editors to secure not only the best writers, but the best articles from their pens. It is a remark- able thing for a single paper to obtain: such a succession of lively and interesting articles. While the CoMPANION is in the main a story paper, the mental, moral and religious train- ing of young people is an end kept steadily in view. Its articles on current topies are written by the most qualified pens, ang pre- sent, in a clear, vivid, direct way, the funda- mental facts of home and foreign polities, and all public questions. Its original: anee- dotes of public men are invaluable in’ their influence in stimulating right ambition and a high purpose in life.

Granulated milk, according to the Med- ical Record, is made by subjecting milk to a heat of 130 degrees until the watery por- tion is allevaporated. Then it is granulat- ed and sugar added, when it looks like corn meal. It is less solid than condensed milk and with water closely resembles natural milk. A New York drummer on his first trip registers his place of residence as ‘‘New York City,’’ in large letters. On his second trip he cuts it down to ‘New York,” and after that ““N. Y.” is enough. All of which shows that after a New Yorker has traveled about a bit he begins to learn something.

EE A GLUT OF EVERYTHING. The business situation in the country is a puzzle which the most experienced mer- chants confess their inability to solve. It may be summed up in a few words—a glut of everything; a glut of farm products, of manufactures and of money. Old business men do not recall just such a former situa- tion. We have had hard times, and col- lapses caused by poor crops, and seasons of extravagance, and scarcity of money, before ; but here is a stagnation of trade in the midst of plenty of money, plenty of farm produce and plenty of all sorts of manufactures. Money is borrowable in New York at 1% to 2 per cent. on first-class securities ; wheat is worth only $1 per bushel and corn 45 cents a bushel; bar-iron brings only $1.70 a hundred, and all other articles of trade share the low prices of these leading com- modities. There is no brisk demand for labor and wages are declining with every- thing else. The end of the winter season is fast approaching and dry goods merchants and clothiers are making an effort to force their surplus stocks on the public by offering them at lower prices than have been known for a generation. Groceries as a whole rule lower than for twenty years. And yet the country is rich in everything—in food, cloth- ing, houses, farms, mills, factories, trans- portation agencies, gold, silver and all the modern adjuncts of comfort. In faet it seems as if aredundancy of these things is the real eause of the trouble. Trade is dull and de- pressed because there are so few wants to be supplied. It is not encouraging to find that our large surplus of breadstuffs and provisions, un- wanted abroad, is accumulating in idle heaps in elevators and warehouses, while India is supplying the British markets with the wheat that we once supplied. It suggests the ques- tion, what is to be done with our future grain surpluses, if the British will not take them? The improved and effective farm machin- ery invented and put to work in this eountry in the last thirty years has increased our ¢a- pacity to produce breadstuffs immensely. It is said that shoe-machines have become so effective that our factories ean now produce in one year enough shoes to supply the coun- try for two; and it may be said also that farm implements have ‘become so effective that owe man can do the work which once required five, and raise enough food to sup- ply fifty persons. This, perhaps, is the ex- planation of the unsalable abundance of food and clothing in the country. The machinery in the land represents the power of say$0,- 000,000 men—and it neither eats, drinks Hor wears clothes. If it did we would have an instant market for our surplus of farm pro- ducts and manufacturers. But machinery is mo customer. It needs only a little coal and water; provided with these it does the work of ten million men. And under the fierce and unsparing competition that has become the inexorable law of trade, we are continu- ally moultiplying our stock of inanimate power and bringing new inventions into play. When and how is it all to end? Ifwe go on increasing our producing capacity at this rate until our farmers shall raise enough pread and meat in one year to glut the mar- ket for two, our furnaces make enough iron, eur factories make enough cloth, our canning mills put up enough fruit and vegetables, and our shoe shops turn out enough shoes in ene year to supply the gemand for three, how are we to employ the idle time so as te provide a living for the masses of the peo- pie? There is a prospect of a new move in the petroleum business. For the first time in many years the production of the wells has not been equal to the demand. The result ef this is that Pennsylvania capitalists, whe have been gradually driven out of the oil trade by the Standard people, have concluded that this is a good time to strike out a cam- paign in a new field. The Kanawha region of West Virginia is rich in oil and many years ago there was a large refinery at —— | will make money, and always remember 1884 | | the result of speculation, dealing in futures | and stock gambling. There is really little | signifieance in the bare report of a failure | without knowing the cause. A business | failure resulting from either of the causes named does not indicate business depression, | but only an abuse of business privileges. | eee The Boston Globe summarizes ‘the busi- ness situation, accurately and tersely, in the following fashion: The way to restore confidence is to restore it. Men who stand around, and grow] and whine, and wonder how dull 1884 is liable to be, will not find it a good year. But those who work hard, are economical, who push things, and advertise liberally—such men with pleasure and enthusiasm. ee The American hog is rising in national importance and all indications point to an early vindication of the character and utility of that animal against the aspersions of the rapnarchs of Europe. During the past fort- night, the hog has been introduced into both branches of Congress, and sueh notice taken of the animal as can leave no doubt that it is to be an international question. — On account of the increase in advertising, and in order to maintain the usual amount of reading matter, a full-page supplement is issued with Tue TRADESMAN this week. It is hoped to make this a regular feature of the paper hereafter—until a final enlarge- ment to eight pages is made. The winter thus far is not considered un- favorable to the wheat crop. Through much of the winter wheat belt there have been liberal falls of snow, generally the har- binger of good crops of all kinds. & The growth of the cotton industry in the South undoubtedly has much to do with the reduction of wages in New England mills. The National Board of Trade adopted a resolution favoring the principles of the Lowell bankruptcy bill. The Bankruptcy Convention. From the New York Shipping List. The Bankruptcy Convention, in Wash- ington last week, made up chiefly of the representatives of the chambers of commerce and boards of trade, who thoroughly com- prehend the needs of the commercial and business interests of the country, decided with praetical unanimity in recommending the Lowell bankruptcy bill as by far the best and simplest in its provisions of any that has thus far been brought to pubtie notice. They, however, recommended sev- eral minor changes in the bill, the two most important of which were the insertion: of this clause: “From property exempted by} State Laws, the bankrupt may select and: hold to the value of not exceeding $1,000,” |. and the insertion of a provision’ making. “valid objections tothe bankrupt’s discharge if made solvent by speculations outside of his regular or legitimate business.” There was some debate in respect to the method of appointing the officers provided fer in the bill, and in regard to minor cases of bank- ruptey for $1,000 or less, but no recommen- dations were made, it being deemed best to leave the matter entirely with Congress. The representatives in Congress of East- ern and some of the Northwestern States, whose people engaged in business that com- pels the granting of credits outside of their States, are alive to the need of a general bankruptey law, but they are not a majority in either branch, and ne such law will be enacted until they can win support from the representatives of the South and portions of the West. The action of the Bankruptcy Convention at the Capital last week ought to have much weight with these men. The necessity of prompt action becomes evident from the most casual examination of the statisties of failures for the past year. Their number was greater than during any other period of our history except 1878, though there have been several years in whieh the amount of liabilities were great- er. For instance, in 1857, with 4,933 fail- ures, the liabilities reached the esormous We keep a large force of hands con- stantly employed, manufacturé all Fan ly our stick, and can at all times give : you the BEST GOODS, and in any quantity. f a.

The chief inference to be drawn from this fact is that the majority of those who failed in 1883 were small deal- ers, who, in many instances, were tempted to do so by the opportunities afforded for fraud by the exceedingly loose and,:in many cases, conflicting insolvent laws of the dif-— ferent States. As bearing out this prob- ability, it is significant that recent bank- ruptcy statistics show that the specifica preferences for 1883 were more than double those for 1882, that under the present laws there has been, and is, a growing tendency to prefer friends and relatives, to the not infrequent cutting off of every real ereditor from participation in the assets. The pas- sage of a general bankrupt act ought not to be delayed till a time of financial disaster, as at such atime legislation is necessarily crude and imperfect. Stealings for 1883. The following table shows the amount of money stolen by different classes of people in the United States, so far as their steal-| ings were brought to light, during the past} Parkersburg and oil men grew rich there. Eventually, however, the Standard company gathered into its directory the leading West Virginia operators, and successfully froze out the West Virginia wells. At least, it has always been maintained that the oil production of the State ceased, not because the wells went dry but because the powerful influences of the great company were put forth to close them. At the present time, it is said, the Kanawha has been made naviga- ple at all seasons, and new railroads have been built. Transportation faculties are good and with the first increase in demand operators are ready to undertake the devel- opment of the Parkersburg region on a big scale. More than 300,000 aeres of land have been purchased. The total number of failures for the week ending January 25 in the United States and Canada was 317, against 425 the week before, which was the greatest number reached in| dead can be. year.
