A Practical Illustration of ‘‘Shoot the Hat.”’ A traveling salesman for a struggling Chi- cago jobbing house visited American Fall, Idaho, on the 23d of November, on the even- ing of whieh day a number of cowboys were preparing to have a ballin the same town. Everything passed off smoothly until after- noon, when the commercial wanderer ap- peared upon the street wearing a silk hat— an article of apparel which no cowboy can endure. As soon as the traveling man ap- peared the cowboys started after him, walk- ing in single file, and keeping close in his wake. The man with the silk hat may have no- ticed the procession, but it is probable that he had no idea of its significance. He stopped in a little store for a few minutes, and while he tarried there the crowd on the utside increased. When he emerged once more the boys fell into line behind him dgain in single file and resumed their march, gathering recruits at almost every step, until finally there were twenty or thirty of the gang inthe procession. By this time the stranger began to understand that something was the matter either with him or with the town, and he darted into a little jewelry store, pretending that he wanted to set his watch. The boys came to a halt on the side- walk and faced the store. The jeweler, whose stock consisted priucipally of revol- vers and other shooting irons, looked inguis- itively at his caller and then at the throng in front. Thinking it a good opportunity to say something, the traveling man observed: “You have a nice town here, but can you tell me why these men are following me around?” “T can,” said the store-keeper laconically ; “they’re after that hat.” “What hat?’ “That plug. They don’t allow sir. Never been here before?” “Never,” gasped the man. “Well, now look here,” said the jeweler. ‘The boys are a little full of fun to-day, and they might make things uncomfortable for gou. I’ll just escort you up to-the hotel and introduce you to some of them as my friend. Then you put that hat away and don’t you wear it any more.” Thanking the jeweler, the stranger walked out arm in arm with him, the boys falling in behind and following them to the hotel. On entering the bar-room the jeweler called one of ther to his side and said: “This is Mr. B , afriend of mine from the States.’ The “boy” siezed him by the hand with a grip that brought tears to his eyes, and said; “Pll take turpentine.” ‘ Others crowded up and were introduced, each ene smiling a siekly sort of smile, but looking unforgivingly at the hat. All agreed that they would have to have something, and quietly urged the stranger toward the bar, on which the innkeeper had plaeed the botile and glasses the minute the first speaker had ‘‘nominated his medicine” When once they were arranged in front of the bar, with glasses in hand, the hat sud- denly slipped from the head of the wearer, assisted by a cowboy in the rear, and in less time than it takes to tell it a ring was formed around the offending article and a score of revolvers were blazing away at it. The ter- rified traveier stepped to one side with his new found friend, and was met with the comforting remark: “It’s a mighty good thing for you that you got onto me, for in ten minutes more those chaps would have been firing at that hat on your head. They wouldn’t have taken the trouble to have knocked it off. They would have shot it off, and you weuld have been lucky if you had eseaped with a whole skull, for some of the boys are a little wild in their shooting.” "em here, The Gentie Dummy Occupying Number Seven- teen. A poor devil of a hair dresser was sold out lately, and among the effects was a superb head and bust of a papier-mache female. The clerk at a Northern hotel purchased it, and the boys determined to have some fun. There is a long room in the hotel divided by curtains, each half containing a bed. So they stuck the bust at the top of the | bolster and put the lay figure comfortably | under the sheets, where it lay like a reclin- |ing Venus. They went down to the office to | await the arrival of the 11 o’clock traim and ' see who was apportioned to number seven- teen, where the gentle dummy was reposing. To their chargin old Silas Gregory, who is | the solidest man on the road, in a religious sense, got the lucky number. Just before the solemn man went up statis Derrick Adams called him to one side. “Sir,” he said, with a halting confusion, “can I speak a few words in private to you?” “Certainly, sir.” “Well, sir, I suppose the clerk has forgot- ten it, but a young lady is sleeping in one of these beds—it is true that a curtain divides the room, and with a man of your character it does not matter at all.” “Not at all,” said the serious traveler, ‘‘I shall be rising early and need not disturb her.” “Exactly. You'll be very careful—” “Sir, you don’t know me; if you think I could be capable of—” “T know you are the very soul of honor. Good night.” “The boys sat in Derrick’s room for an hour, and were just going to retire rather disgustedly to their chambers when the door of number seventeen opened and the serious man rushed up the corridor, his face as white as a miller’s. “Gentlemen,” he gasped, ‘‘a great erime has been committed—that girl’s face is as cold as ice—she’s dead! Merciful heavens, dead !’’ The whole crowd went with him, and when he found out the swindle he began to bluster, but Derrick said very quietly: ““Now, look you here, Mr. Whatdoyoucall- em, before you kick up a row here you’ve got to explain how you found out that maid- en’s cheek was cold.” : ‘‘|_I—_I—Great Scott! Give me my grip!” and the pious man frightened the night clerk out of a weeks’ growth by dashing through the office into the gloomy darkness of the night. The hotel people think it was a case of de lirium tremens, but the boys all know it was an honest attack of Brooklyn paroxysms. The serious gentleman hasn’t been seen since on the Michigan circuit, and a report is rife that he has gone back East to avoid the “malaria of the climate in these regions. ODDS AND ENDS. Minor Information of Interest to Everybody. Bear is a favorite fur in London. Since the opening of the Suez Canal tea has, 1879 excepted, declined each year in price. It has never been lower in England than now. John S. West, now of Tiverton, R. I., who failed in Baltimore in 1851, was in New Bedford recently paying his creditors in full, although he was discharged by the courts of Baltimore. When you have a pound of sugar returned, with a note, saying, ‘Too much glucose for sugar, and too little for starch,” you may come to the conclusion that you have mirsed your calling. The best maccaroni consumed in this coun- try, is, according to the Philadelphia Press, made of California wheat. New York, Phil- adelphia and San Francisco make more mac- caroni than is imported. “Well,” said a jaunty son, lounging in from the office with his father’s mail, ‘“‘you’ve got a postal from ma, and she says she met a cyclone.” ‘Pity the cyclone,” was the old yan’s crusty reply, as he jabbed his pen into the inkstand. A business firm in Toronto, which sent a postal card to a broker who was in litigation, stating that the broker’s opponent had at- tempted to extort money from them by blackmail and was a low fellow, was sued for $15,000 damages for libel, but pleaded that the communication was privileged, and the jury found a verdict for them. The boy would put a bucket of whole pepper and then a bucket of some stuff that I at first supposed was coarsely ground pep- per. Ismelt of it, and it had no smell. I tasted of it, and it had no taste. I looked at it closely, and Vl be blowed if it wasn’t bran. ‘What’s that?” said I to Sandy. “That,” said Sandy, with a laugh, ‘‘why, that’s profit.” Among the applications ef cotton is its use, in part, in the construction of houses, the material employed for this purpose being the refuse, which, when ground up with an equal amount of straw and abestos, is con- verted into paste, and this is formed into slabs of brick, which acquire, it is said, the hardness of stone, and furnish a really valu- able building stock. One pound of rice gives 88 per cent. of nu- triment, and one pound of beef 25 per cent. And yet says the Journal of Health, count- less numbers of people strain at a point daily to purchase beef at 15 cents a pound when they could get a pound of rice at one-third of that amount, the rice, too, having three times as inuch nutriment as the beef and be- ing three times easier of digestion. The estimated export from China and Japan of all descriptions of teas for this country and Canada for the season of 1883- 84 just closed is placed at 65,540,000 Ibs., against 74,550,000 Ibs., fer the previous sea- son, and 79,900,000 Ibs., for 1881-82.. Of this quantity 44,800,000 Ilbs., had been shipped up to the latest mail dates received Boston, and about 3,000,000 Ibs. had arrived, at that port up to the 1st instant. Nothing Werried Him. A Canal street business man, who was obliged to take a trip up North last week, unexpectedly encountered an old acquain- tanee in the person of an ex-broker. “Why, it’s five years since I have heard of you,” exclaimed the merchant, as they shook hands. “Yes, it’s about five years since I was cleaned out. ‘‘And what are you doing now?” “In the grocery business—the retail busi- ness.” “And doing well?” “Oh, S0-so-” “And you like it?” “Well, it’s a change, you see. I furnish the experience and another man the money, and I’ve nothing to worry ever. When Igo to bed at night I know that Jay Gould can’t jump the price of eggs, nor Vanderbilt upset the figurés on dried apples, and I rest per- feetly easy.” Thompson, ihe Poet. : Ss. D. Thompson, general dealer at Neway- go, is entitled to the rank as a poet second only to the more or less immortal Julia A. Moore, as following effusion in' a late Newaygo paper fully attests: Just give my tea a trial, My sugar I know is sweet, While all the rest of my grocery stock Is so very, very cheap. Just drop in and see me It is hard times I know; But I will divide the profits, if you will keep up the show. Patents Issued to Michigan Inventors. The following patents have lately been is- sued to Michigan inventors: H. E. Doran, Grand Rapids, fire escape. Joseph F. Morgan, Detroit, combined lunch box and drinking flask. Hiram P. Prince, Grand Haven, unlocking attachment for time locks. Frank Scooneas, Detroit, elevator stop mechanism. . W.D. Sherman, Grand Haven, hanging for circular saws. M. B. Holmes, Fernsville, railway jack. H. H. Todd, Lapeer, running gear. Some Soap. Messrs. Fox, Musselman & Loveridge have placed with Proetor & Gamble, of Cincinnati, who take rank among the leading soap houses of the'eountry, the largest soap order ever sent from this market. The order was for 550 boxes, two full carloads, or 38,500 bars. The mammoth invoice is expected to arrive the latter part of the present week. The Best Buggy. The Spiral Spring is the best buggy made, and the enormous sales of the vehicle attest this fact. The patent spring used in the construction of every buggy is the best thing of the kind ever invented, being at once com- pact, easy riding and durable. Besides this feature the Spiral Spring buggies combine other points equally as valuable. The work- manship is perfect. MAKING BUTTERINE. { | COMMUNICATIONS. The Process by Which a Substitute for Butter. Strenuous Objection to Sensational Advertis- is Manufactured. ‘| From the Detroit Times. ing. . ' Collins, Mich., Jan. 81. “No, sir, this is not the place where they; Eprror TRADESMAN: I wish you would manufacture a substitute for butter, “‘said a) be so kind as te explain why so many retail | gentleman at the door of a store on Atwater street in reply to a question. ‘‘We make the very nicest and cleanest butterine that you ever saw. Just step this way and see how it is done.” In a back room, where were ranged upon the shelves rows of golden rolls of what seem- ed to be a remarkably fine grade of butter. “This is our butterine, as it is ready for sale,” he continued. ‘Everyone thinks that because it isn’t pure butter it is necessarily unhealthy. New that is not the case here. If you will look around you will notice that there are no such signs as, ‘No admittance except on business,’ or ‘apply at the office for admittance.’ Everything is public, and anyone who comes in will have someone put at his disposal to show him through the place. If you would like to see the way it is done just step upstairs where they are now busy making the butterine. Yeu see this churn,” pointing to a large tin vat in which a post was revolving having arms similar to a wash tub in a distillery. ‘“‘This is where we churn You see we take the very best creamery but- ter, refined lard, beef oil and pure cream and put them inthe churn and mix them up thoroughly; then the mixture is* drawn off into a vat half filled with ice and worked by twomen. If you will wait a minute you will see how it is done.” Two men had taken a position on each side of the vat with forks very similar to the ones used in digging potatoes. The butterine was drawn off and was mixed with the ice and immediately took the form of the nicest of butter. “This is not exaetly the way the old wo- men make it, and I wouldn’t wonder if it surprised some of them,”’ said the manufac- turer; ‘but I would sooner use this than most of the butter now sold as home-made creamery.” “How much of this do you make in a day?”’ ‘*Well, you see, the churn holds half a ton, and we generally run off about four ehurns a day. Itis then werked on tables and the buttermilk extracted like ordinary butter, and it is then made up in rolls or packed for shipping. We ship all over the country and are now opening a trade with Holland and I think we will soon ship all of our produce.”’ ‘‘What is the difference between butterine and oleomargarine?”’ “The only difference is in the use of tal- low instead of lard and milk instead ef cream. As to the prices, ereamery butterine is three or four cents less than fresh butter. There are different kinds of it as well as of anything else. It just depends upon the pro- portions that are used.”’ Five Minutes in a Wagon Factory. 999 “Well, Charley, what’s the news?” asked Tne TRADESMAN’sS wagon reporter, of gen- ial Capt. Belknap, a day or two ago. The reply was by no means ‘unassuring, and tended to dispel any doubts that may have flashed through the repertorial vision as to the profitableness of the present sea- son. “Tam getting out a ecarload of ‘Osear Wilde’ logging carts, cant-hooks, chains, ox yokes and other articles included in a com- plete logging outfit for the Honduras Lum- ber Co. It will be sent by rail to New Or- leans, and thence to its destination by steam- er. Ihave already sent two carloads of eul- tivator work to Toledo, and have three more in preparation. An outfit of coal buggies to carry chareoal at John Otis & Co.’s iron fur- nace at Mancelona is nearly ready for ship- ment. Besides, [ am repairing and repaint- ing a large number of the furniture manu- facturers’ vans and jobbers’ trucks.” “You might add,” said the Captain “that wide-tired wagons are coming into universal use, and that itis but a question of time when the old style of wagons will be out of existence. This statement will hold good all over the country, and is not peculiar to the Michigan trade.” Muskegon’s Timber Output--Stocks on Hand. The total products of the Muskegon mills for the past year are as follows: Lumber, 649,000,000 feet; shingles, 250,000,000; lath, 140,000,000 pieces. The difference between the cut of 1883 and 1882 was only about 6,000,000 feet of lumber, while the shingle product was nearly double that of 1882, and lath one-third more. The lumber on hand at the various manufacturing points on the east shore of Lake Michigan, sold and un- sold, is as follows: Feet. Muskegon: ......5.0..2.2....2...1.. 2%... 128,000,000 White Deke: oo .. 18,000,000 Grand Haven and Spring Lake....... 55,000,000 MaANISEOG 2) oo. a eae . 30,000,000 EMGINGtON oo 0 ee 6,000,000 IBiguRamids: 02. 10,000,000 POntLWAtCY SF..0 02 ees ae, 2,000,000 Bavontuck 02 ss 1,000,000 Of this stock on hand, considerable is sold to be delivered on the opening of navigation. Last season the lumber on the Muskegon docks was fully 30,000,000 feet more than now, while the cut of the past season was a little larger. This would show that more lumber was sold at that place in 1883 than ever before in the history of the trade. Delaying a Train with Soap. From the Savanna News. Some malicious fellow, whom the law eught to put where he can do no harm, put five bars of soap in the water-tank on the Brunswick & Western Road, near Waycross, a few days ago. The night express train that came along next, filled up with the soapy water, and soapy water will not make steam. So the engine was laid up on the track, with- out steam or the power to make it, until another engine could be sent out to pull the former train and engine onward. A Corner on Eggs. Philadelphia speculators have been buying up eggs in large quantities and helding them for an advance. In Schuylkill county one firm has an ice house in which are stored 30,- 000 dezen, which were purchased all the way from 15 to 20 cents a dozen. The market is bare of this article of food, and it is predict- ed that they will reach 50 cents per dozen within amonth. Itis supposed that when they reach the latter figure the speculators will unload on the market. - dealers are advertising to sell goods at ‘14 off,” “less than eost,’ ete. 1 cannot see where there is anything gained by this mode of advertising. You are well aware than no responsible house can afford to sell goods for one-quarter off regular rates, that the mar- gins of retailers would not admit of such fearful ‘‘euts’’ and allow them to live. True, the times are hard and money unusually close; but it appears to me that all such maneuvers on the part of- dealers only weaken them. It is high time we learn that our customers (many of them) are men of good understanding and judgment, that some of them are as well posted as the retailer himself, and that every such adver- tisement is regarded by such men as a snare or trap in which to entangle the unsuspect- ing; or, what is yet worse, a misrepresenta- tion or a lie. Men of any principle will not for any length of time patronize a house that will month after month insult an intel- ligent community with such falsehoods as ‘““1¢ off,” “at your own price,” ete. Any man of good judgement knows that goods cannot be sold at cost, or for less than cost. Such aman is willing to pay a fair margin, a margin that will enable the dealer to carry his customers through the close times and at the same time not imperil his own interests. There are but few solid farmers who do not realize the terrible pressure this winter is having upon trade, and I for one think they will stand by any honorable dealer, re- gardless of the “14 off,” and “at your own price,” advertisers. Only the floating trade is attracted by such inducements and as a general rule sueh trade is of but little value, if any, as there are so many dead-beats among that class as to make it undesirable. What would we think of the wholesale house that would advertise ‘14 off,” “regard- less of cost,’”’ ete.? Would such an advertise- ment elevate them in our opinion, or on the contrary cause us to look with suspicion on such a move. Most assuredly we would pro- nounce them either knaves or fools. If such a course would bring the jobber into disre- pute, why not the retailer? I can see no reason why he should not share the same fate. It appears to me that all dodges made to attract customers like those mentioned, and, also, “‘every twentieth article free,” ‘‘a pres- ent for every so many dellars’ trade,” ‘‘the lucky guesser,” etc., etc., are only genteel methods of swindling. In my opinion, an honest advertisement is all that is necessary to attract desirable trade. I should be pleased to here from others on this subject. Truly and faithfully yours, S. S. BuRNETT.

Republic, office The Best Reading. Every family that desires to provide for its young people wholesome and instructive reading should send for specimen copies of the YOUTH’s COMPANION, of Boston. It is the brightest and best of papers for young people. Its columns give more than Two HUNDRED STORIES yearly by the most noted authors, including J. T. Trowbridge. William Black, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Thomas Hardy, Mrs. Oliphant and many others, be- sides scientific articles by eminent special- ists, tales of adventure by noted travelers, papers of encouragement and advice by men and women of ability and experience, and reminiscences and anecdotes of famous peo- ple.

The bank was not to let them have the buggies until he paid for them, but it al- lowed him to remove them for inspection and he would not return them. The bank there- upon paid the manufacturers and brought re- plevin for the stock, which it was fairly en- titled to do.—(Campbell J.) West Michigan Savings Bank vs. Howard. A lumberman hired a logger to Glear a stream and run his logs and a_ dispute arose between them as to what was to be paid. The stream was not owe of the kind called navigable, and could not therefore be cleared without going on some one’s premises. No- body had objected to this, however, but the lumberman took the ground that a contract to clear it was one which involved a trespass and was therefore void. This was a needless- ly broad conciusion so long as no one com- plained, and until they did th®contract would be presumed valid.—(Cooley, C. J.) Fuller vs. Rice. The Ruppes, who Kept a general store, sued Thomas Edwards for the price of $900 worth of supplies which they had furnished toa cer- tain St. Arnaud, whom Edwards had en- gaged to lumber a tract of land. When St. Arnaud had begun to get these supplies he referred the Rupples toa brother ofEdwards, who was acting as the latter’s clerk, and they wrote him as follows: “‘Dear Sir: Ed St. Arnaud has got some goods, mostly eamp- ing utensils.. He said that they were for T. W. Edwards, for lumber camp. Will you please send us an order to give him supplies if O. K.” To this the clerk answered: “I think it will be O. K. for about one hundred dolars at present.” But this was a very insufficient basis for holding Thomas Edwards. His clerk could not be supposed to have author- ity to make him liable for the debt of a third person, and his letter, at best, was nothing but the expression of his own opinion, which Edwards was not bound to make good. Nor did the letter amount to any such contraet as to be ratified by Edwards saying ‘‘that’s all right’ on hearing of them; nor, under the statute of limitations was even his oral promise to pay a third person’s debt legally binding on him.— (Sherwood, J.) Ruppe vs. Edwards. Recendly AGAIN SUSTAINED. The U. S. Court Declares the State Insoly- ency Law Constitutional. In the United States court last week, in a suit growing out of the failure of Mr. A. M. Cheney, of Charlotte, Judge Withey fully sustained the State law of 1883 regarding in- solvent parties. This was the first case of the kind tried in this Court since the passage of the law, and there was considerable inter- est manifested in it by attorneys. It seems that on the 13th of December Mayer Wilde. of Buffalo, attached Mr. Cheney’s goods at Charlotte by process in the United States court, on a claim for $2,500. As the stoek ; was worth $35,000, and there were other claims exceeding the latter amount, Mr. Petre Doran, representing the claims of Henry W. King & Co., Chicago, and Chas. Root & Co., Detroit, advised Cheney to make an assignment which he accordingly did, Wm. Rathbun, Chas. Root & Co.’s credit man being named as assignee. Mr. Doran then fil- eda petition that the attached goods be turned over to the assignee, the assignment having’ been made within the ten days required by the State law. The defense claimed that as Wilde was not a resident of this State he was not bound by the laws of this State, that as the United States had jurisdiction in the ease, and as a United States Marshall was in possession of the property, the State could not interfere, and other equally foolish propositions characteristic of the attorney for the Buffalo house. Mr. Doran answered the arguments, helding that as the goods were sold since the law .went into effect, Wilde was bound to abide by the law, and Judge Withey granted the petition.

The Question Is, *-Will Crediiors Get Any- thing?”’ The announcement that Winegar & Peek, saw mill owners and general dealers at Alba, had sold ont to Dudley & Robinson, of this city, was not wholly unexpected, but served tosawaken considerable apprehension as to what disposition the late firm propose to make of theiv indebtedness. It isa mat- ter of common knowledge that the firm were involved to the extent of $5,000 to $6,000 in Wetzell Bros.’ failure, and that they have since been asking and securing extensions and giving notes for their indebtedness. It is thought that the more honorable way would have been for the firm to have made an assignment, but as more eould be realized from a sale than from a foreed closing out of the business, perhaps creditors may be the gainers after all. As yet, there has been no intimation that creditors will receive any part of their claims, and the fact that the store building and lot were transferred to Mrs. Winegar gives color to the statement that the firm has taken this course to defeat the ends of justice. Mr. Wm. M. Robinson, of the new firm of Dudley & Rebinson, was seen by Tuer TRADESMAN reporter, and stated that the sale was absolute, and that possession was given on the ist. About 2,000,000 feet pine logs now on the skids at the mill will be eut during the coming season, and the plant made a feeder for the firm’s lumber yard on South Division street. Come Along. A. Brady, the Luther dealer who divides his time between selling goods for half their cost and evading lengthy imprisonment for fraud, threatens to come down to Grand Rapids and do THe TRADESMAN editor vio- lent bodily injury. For the benefit of the aforesaid Brady, it is well to state that the editortis a retired prize-fighter, and that the employes in the effice are all men of massive muscular development. Furthermore, side windows open on a stone-paved alley, which affords a soft resting place for all objects hurled from said windows. Luther is a pretty hard tewn, but Mr. Brady must not imagine that he has a monopoly on_pugilis- tie attainments or other conveniences for speedy death. oe if 7 | very well in their way, but the sooner the MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. | retailer impresses sone his customers the fact that such schemes necessarily bring | aboat a deterioration in the quality of the A JOURNAL DEVOTED TO THE We Keep a large force of hands con- stantly employed, manufacture all our stick, and can at all times give Cand apeantile 3 Mannfscturine rant y Nisin | Hercantile and Manufacturing Interesis of the State. “goods, or @ consequent advice in price, the | petter it will be for all concerned. | ——— a E.

The experieuce of the present time is a heavy lessen against gambling in stocks and produce. The experience is so dearly bought to many that they will hardly recover from it. Many of the failures of men ia the reg- ular trades have revealed that they came to disaster through taking ventures in railroad stocks and in produce. Now and then the fall of a banker is announced from the same cause. What has been brought to light by faillres, proves that the temptation of this gambling has spread widely among all kinds of business men where it was unknown un- til it was uncovered by disaster. That which has thus become known, gives reason to think that much more of the same kind ex- ists without being yet known, and gives cause to general distrust. Wholesale mer- chants, manufacturers and bankers know not who may have been drawn in by this gam- bling, and this impairs confidence in all. The continued fall in the prices of these properties, is continually revealing a greater extent of this practice, and this is extending the distrust. Men who have gained compet- encies in the old regular and slow ways, and who were thought examples of safety, are found drawn into this vortex of gambling speculations on margins. Merchants who have retired from business on a sufficiency, have been tempted to risk it in these ven- tures, and in many eases have had it swal- lowed up ata single turn. Discoveries of this, and the failures of men who were thought models of stability, have made bankers mistrustful, and have impaired the general credit. It has been stated that the shrinkage in railroad shares in the last year has been $1,000,000,000, most of it in the last six months. This loss has been spread over the entire country. It has wiped out margin after margin and forced to the sacrifice a continual suscession of buyers. A heavy decline in pro- duce has added a large sum to this loss, which is alike spread everywhere. A pro- duce panic in Chicago shakes Grand Rapids, and is felt in every considerable town in Michigan, and in all the North and some of the South. The regular ways of merchan- dize and industry seem very slow in compar- ison with trade which can be turned instant- ly. Its facilities are very great when $1,000 can be spread over a purchase of 20,000 bush- els of grain, which has only to change five cents a bushel in the right direction, to dou- ble the money, and when it can be spread over 200 shares of stock, with the like chance of rising or falling. The telegraph enables this venture to be made from any place. Bankers frequently prefer tolend their mon- ey on the article itself, with the customary margin, rather than the slow and careful way of lending it on mercantile paper. Thus he chief banking business is in furnishing facilities for gambling. The custom is to ery against the authorities because they do not suppress the gamblers—meaning those who keep rooms for the faro and other games. But all that is a small evil compared with the respectable gambling in stocks and pro- duce. The present effects are so wide-spread and disastrous that a lasting sheck will probably be given to the practice of men in regu- lar business to risk the impairment of their capital in these big-blow ventures. They are enough to create the business maxim that the merchant who takes a side venture in stocks or produce is on the sure road to ruin. The evil of this gambling is great enough when carried on by men who make it their business and profession; but it has grown to immense proportions by the side investments of business men allover the country. The effect of this branch of the gambling is new felt ali over the land. It has greatly added to the, list of failures in regular trade, and is in a large measure the eause of the present depression and general distrust. The communication frem the pen of a Collins dealer, published in another column, voices the sentiment of a large majority of reputable merchants. That sensational ad- vertising means nothing, and is demoralizing in its effects, is rapidly coming to be a recog- ‘ nized fact; and the better class of merehants have long since discarded it, as well as all similar false inducements held out to draw trade. Those who are still employing doubt- ful advertising methods will generally be found to be beginners in business, or those who have not yet learned that the effect of such bids for patronage are exactly opposite that intended. The capitalist, merchant and farmer all understand th emeaninglessness of such appeals, aad appreciate at their true worth honorable and business-like advertis- ing methods. The other point touched by our correspondent, the gift craze, is deserving of the severest censure, although just at present manufacturer, jobber and retailer seem to be equally reprehensible. Manufacturers are inaugurating prize enterprises without num- ber to entrap the unwary, and jobbers too often fall willing victims to the schemes. A revolver with every caddy of tobacco and a silver spoon with every cake of soap are all ‘A Bostonian ventures the opinion that the | manufacturing system of New England has | come to be a bad inheritance as truly as was | slavery in the South. He thinks the ten- | dency to a consolidation and aggregation of | capital in overgrown corporations has about run its course and that the day of appointing | men to responsible positions in mills because they are deacons in the church and influen- tial in the town is past. It is to be succeeded by a return to the original system of smaller establishments owned by individuals who give olose supervision to the work. Corpor- ate management has begotten extravagance numbers of establishments have outgrown their capacity to meet the question of low cost. Individual ownership, it is predicted, will not only result im better management, but also in better relations between capital and labor. eS The Cincinnati Times-Star thus urges im- mediate action on a bankruptcy Dill on the part of Congress: There is almost universal dissatisfaction with the workings of the various State in- solvency laws—which are very dissimilar and not a few of which contain numerous and glaring defects—and the feeling among all classes of business men in favor of enacting a uniform bankruptcy law grows stronger every day. The pending Lowell bill is gen- erally approved by commercial organizations throughout the country. Certain amend- ments have been suggested which it might be well to adopt. But the important thing is for Congress to take hold of the subject with as little delay as possible and decide whether we are to have a uniform insolvency law or stick to forty-three different systems. mend Refering to one Felker, who was formerly in trade in this city, and whose latest base of operations is St. Louis, the New York Merchants’ Review replies, in answer to a slanderous attack: We shall not imitate the originality and honesty of the man who copied the material for a Grocers’ Hand-Book frem cyelopzdias and text books and published it as his own. In reproducing a recent editorial utterance frem our,columns, the Boston Commercial Reporter refers to THE TRADESMAN as a “bright trade paper recently started at Grand Rapids.” The Detroit Iron Furnace Co., who op- erate the coal-kilns north of Gaylord, have nearly 300 men now on the pay-rolls and disburse*about $4,000 per month. Betweex 250 and 300 eords of wood are received at the kilns daily. It is rumored that the com- pany intend putting in chemical works at the kilns next summer. TIME TABLES.

SUG gag ggggy 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 enly 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 tement, while all kalsomines, or other whitening preparations, have inert soft chalks, and 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 eld coats before refinishing. In addition to the above advantages, Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires but one-half the number of pounds to coyer the same amount of surface with two coats, is ready for use by simply adding water, and is easily ap- plied by any one.

A Legal Firm that is Alleged te Work for Both Sides. “Do you know the true inwardness of the Kendall failure?” said a prominent legal light to Tur TRADESMAN reporter yester- day, and the latter was compelled to reply in the negative and suggested that he would like to be enlightened.on the subject. “You see,” continued the legal gentleman, Turner & Carroll are Kendall’s attorneys, and got him in good shape to fail. Then lhey sent down East, and induced one of his creditors to attach the stock, in order that he might make an assignment, and come in for the discharge-from-liability prevision of the new insolvency law. The day after the assignment, Kendall furnished Turner & Car- roll with a list of his creditors, to whom they wrote, soliciting the claims. Thus you see that Turner & Carroll, while ostensibly working in the interest of the ereditors are really in cahoots with Kendall, and subse- quent events will prove this assertion.”’ C. 8, YALE & BRO, —Manufacturers of— FLAVORING EXTRACTS | BAKING POWDERS, BLUINGS, E'TC., 40 and 42 South Division St., GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

REVIEW OF THE MARKETS, The Dry Goods Market. In the East the dry goods trade is slowly improving, and the outlook is considered good for ‘an active demand later in the month. Agents and jobbers are counting on the extremely light stocks held by the trade, and claim that confidence is all that is wanting to make a good trade. Confidence, however, is a capricious goddess, @nd just now is enjoying a fit of sulks. One thing is certain, however, the goods for the spring trade are more beautiful in style and finish tham any ever shown before. In prints, ginghams and dress goods the movement has been fair and sonie styles have been sold ahead of production. In the above lines fashions are destined to run toward lighter shades than they did last year. At home trade is gradually improving as the season advances, aad a very good business was transacted during the past week in most of the leading staples, though distinct- ively winter goods were only in «moderate request. It is getting so late in the winter season that merchants are not disposed to stock up freely with goods that will be un- saleable in the course of a very few weeks, and hence such lines of merchandise as blankets, flannels, heavy woolen cloths, cloaking, thick shawls, and warm under- ware are only bought in small quantities to supply current wants. But few quotable changes have occurred, the only change in prints being a reduction of 1gc. % yard in the price of American. In brown sheetings there was a decline of 14¢ in Lawrence LL, Mystie River, and Pepperell E. The Grocery Market. We make advances ina number of arti- cles, noticeably pickles and canned corned beef. Pickles are cheap yet. Teas are said to be getting scarce and importers have ad- vanced prices from 2¢ to 4c. Sugars are easier. Peanuts are higher and going up still. Jobbers are on the lookout for a sharp advance in full cream cheese,as stocks are considerably short of last year. - The prices quoted to-day are a,.full half cent cheaper than they were a year ago. We consider cheese a good purchase at to-day’s prices. There is no let up onfish prices and no probability of any fer sometime. Val- encia raisins are cheap, extremely so. The Drug Market. Business continues to move along smooth- ly, and collections are reported as somewhat easier. The feature of the week has been the break in quinine. Formerly quinine was protected by a tariff about equivalent to the actual value of the article, thereby giving the American manufacturers a com- plete monopoly of the business. This tariff was abolished some four years ago with the result of reducing the price nearly 100 per| cent. Then, about a year ago, the Ameri- can manufacturers tried to get the tariff re- established, but failed. They then entered into a pool with the European mannufactur- ers binding themselves to maintain estab- lished prices, the pool going into force July 1, 1883. Prior to the formation of the pool the price had been about $1.50 per ounce, and the combination raised it to about $1.80. A few days ago ene of the English firms in the pool began cutting prices, the standard quotations being thereby reduced about 20 per cent. As there was nothing to bind the English firm to the combination price the result of the cut isa complete demoralization of the market. At present the price ranges from $1.30 to $1.60, this being about the fair manufacturing value of the article, but in case the pool should be reformed there is nothing to prevent the price rising to $3 per ounce, or even higher, except the pres- sure of publie opinion. The Provision. Market. As will be seen by the Price Current, pork has advanced from $1.25 to $1.50 per barrel, lard has gone up 4c in sympathy, and beet has sustained aslight advance. The rise in pork is due to the fact that live stock has ceased to come in, and tv the general scarcity. Lard continues to be the cheapest product of the hog. Beef is bound to go still higher. The Fruit and Nut Market. Oranges and lemons are firmer and a shade higher. Peanuts have taken another sharp advance and are held very firm. Foreign nuts are steady with a weak market.

AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY. Henry Ward Beecher’s new residence on Paris avenue is nearly ready for oecupancy. R. E. McCormick has opened a grocery store at Mecosta. He purchased his stock in this city. A. Bunnell has engaged in the grocery bus- iness on South Division street. He purchas- ed his stock of Cody, Ball & Co. Donnan & Gray, agricultural implement dealers at Lowell, have sold out to KE. T. Brownz & Co., of this city, who will continue the business. Dr. Henry Lever bas closed his drug store on South Division street, and is engaged in removing the stock to Newaygo, where he will re-engage in business. Perkins & Co. have received orders for 20 of their patent shingle machines during the past nine days. One goes to Oregon and four to as many Southern States. H. N. Brokaw, of Ionia, general travel- ing agent for Taylor Bros. & Co., hat and cap jobbers of Chicago, was in town several days last week, visiting the trade. Silas K. Bolles, formerly traveling agent for B. S. Tibbitts,fof Coldwater, has engaged to represeut a’Cleveland cigar house on the road, covering the same territory as form- erly. Ata meeting of the members of the plas- ter pool, Monday, the price of land plaster was raised from $1.25 to $3 per ton. This is the sequel of the maneuver predicted by THE TRADESMAN several months ago. A. E. Brooks, of Putnam & Brooks, left Monday night for Chicago, to attend a meet- ing of the executive committee of the Nation- al Confectioners’ Association, recently organ- ized, of which the firm is a member. A. Norris, of A. Norris & Son, Casnovia, was in town last week and pufchased a com- plete grocery stock of Clark, Jewell & Co., which they will put in one side of the build- ing in which their drug stock is located. The grocery stock of Carlos O. Sunder- land, of Lowell, was seld by the assignee to O. A. Ball and John Caulfield for $450, who in turn disposed of the same to Anna B., wife of Carlos, for $900, who will continue the business at the old stand. S. A. Sweet has purchased the A. W. Fisher stock, on South Division street, of Arthur Meigs & Co., consolidated with it the goods he saved from his stock during the re- cent fire at Howard City, and will centinue business at Fisher’s old stand. D. G. Hall, the Ithaca ex-druggist, was re- cently seen by a Grand Rapids traveler, and stated that his indebtedness, all told, does not exceed $600, and that he has $1,000 in un- collected accounts, on which he will realize enough to pay every claim in full. Mr. Hutchinson, of E. Jaffroy & Co., New York: F. A. Coolidge, of Gibson, Parish & Co., Chicago; Geo. Brawe, of J. K. Smeallie & Co., New York; Merritt Andrews, of Theo. Pomeroy & Sons, Utiea, N. Y., have visited this market during the past week. Mr. Sampson having refused to serve as receiver for Messmore Bros., of Cadillac, the attorney for Henry W. King & Co. and other creditors petitioned Judge Withey, of the United States Court, to enforce the assign- ment, which he granted by appointing W. H. Tuttle, of this city, assignee. Fred Clark, attorney for I. E. Messmore, visited Volney last week in the interest of his client, and persuaded Hugh H. McKenzie to reliquish goods to the amount of $360, that being the indebtedmess due Messmore. But $40 worth of stock is left to meet claims aggregating several hundred dollars. Cc. W. Jennings, of the firm of Jennings & Smith, returned Saturday from a successful fortnight’s trip through northern Indiana and Ohio. Jas. T. Avery started out on an eight weeks’ southern tour on Thursday, and Wm. H. Jennings left Monday for an eighty days’ absence, St. Louis being the objective point, and the intervening territory the scene of trouble. A gentleman from the Upper Peninsula stated yesterday that the liabilities of the American Lumber Ce. will come very near $1,000,000. The assets are now variously estimated at from $750,000 to $900,000, most of which is secured by mortgages. The cause of the failure is laid to the present de- pression of the lumber trade and the conse- quent shrinkage of values. Wm. M. Robinson, assignee for the ras- cally Newmaas, will make no further move until the 19th, the expiration of the legal limit, after which he will endeavor to effect a final settlement with the creditors by dis- tributing the amount now in his hands. It is probable that very few of the creditors will accept the percentage offered, prefering to hold their claims against the Newmans. AROUND THE STATE. Avery & Coons, meat dealers at Lowell, have sold out to Forman & Aldrich. Ballard & Nash succeed M. B. Nash in the grocery business at Sparta Center. Converse Eddy, of Grattan Center, has | taken John Emmons in partnership with him. Pray Bros., of Petoskey, have opened a branch elothing and dry goods store at Cross Village. Lee & Son, grocers at Allegan, assigned to A. S. Peek on the 31st. Liabilities are esti- mated at $2,500; assets about the same. W. C. Tuttle, druggist at Albion, has been closed at the instance of Sheldon & Robert- son, who held a chattel mortgage on the stock. M. F, White, of Jackson, and H.C. MeFar- lan have purchased the Manton flouring mill and will enlarge the building and repair the machinery. M.: C. Barber, assignee for Curtiss & Church, of Lowell; paid a second dividend of 15 per cent. on the ist. The first dividend was 25 per cent. Rockford Register: Mr. J. Coon has moved his stock of boots and shoes contained in his branch store at Cedar Springs back to Rockford. It didn’t prove a paying invest- ment. Howard Record: Mrs. W. S. King has sold her stock of goods to A. H. Jackson, of Three Rivers, where he runs a bankrupt store. The gocds were packed and shipped Saturday. H. H. Hendereen has erigaged in the drug business at Kent City. | J. Hullinger, druggist at Mecosta, proposes 'to remove his stock and business to Big | Rapids, and I. M. Patterson, dealer in drugs | at Millbrook, will remove his stock to Me- | costa about the same time. Wm. Oppenheim, who made a disastrous a few months ago, the adjustment of which has not yet been effected, died at his home at Dowagiac on the 30th, after a long and painful illness. The interment was made at Detroit. Lewis Brown, a Hebrew elothing merchant who has been in business at Allegan since midsummer, 1882, made an assignment on the 31st to Asa H. Patriek. The liabilities are about $4,000, and assets about $3,000. Brown was formerly engaged in the clothing business on Milwaukee avenue, Chicago, and was supposed to be worth $1,500. He never kept any books, did not do a_ banking busi- ness, and did not associate with the people of his race, being somewhat of a business enigma. Creditors representing $27,000 of B. S. Tib- bits’ liabilities met at Coldwater and agreed to settle for 50 eents ona dollar. His lia- bilities are about $50,000. If the balance of the creditors are willing, all claims will be settled on the same basis. His cigar manu- factory is running without interuption. He made no assignment, but secured extensions, and gave notes for his indebtedness, and covered his.property with mortgages. after which he announced that he was insolvent and willing to pay the percentage above mentioned.

Banks, and intends to | have it completed ana in running order by April 1. Pentwater News: We place the Grand Rapids TRADESMAN upon our exchange list this week. Itis a paper every tradesman along the shore ought to take. The American Lumber Co., of Dollarville, has failed. The laborers are on the verge of starvation, as many of them have not receiv- ed their wages for some months. The total output of the Lake Superior iron mines and the valuation for last year was as follows: Gross tons pig iron, 57,484; value, $1,291,140. Gross tons iron ore, 2,351,372; value, $13,677,919. Weaver’s grist mill and G. D. Webster’s saw mill at Hesperia have started up again, having been idle for several months on ac- count of a break in the dam. Hesperia now has twe grist mills and an equal number of saw mills in operation. The Detroit, Lansing & Northern Railway is busy preparing to extend its line into the western part of the State during the present year. Ties and material are being gotten out at Lakeview for the extension from that place to Howard City of the Saginaw Valley and St Louis division. The work of grading is to be commenced as early as practicable. Surveyors are also at |work on preliminary lines for the extension of the main road to the lake shore. Louis N. and A. T. Moran have formed a co-partnership at Detroit for the purpose of carrying on a wholesale grocery business, under the firm name of Moran Bros. Louis N. contributes the sum of $25,000 and A. T. $20,000 to the common stock, to be used in | common between them. Each member of | the firm is to devote his entire time to the | business, and the profits are to be equally di- | vided. Itis provided that neither of the | partners shall indulge in outside speculations | without the consent of the other, and a sum / notin excess of $2,500 per year shall be | drawn out of the business for individual ex- | penses, unless the profits shall justify such | transaction. Late Furniture Gossip. L. C. Stow, of the Grand Rapids Furniture | Co., is spending several weeks in the South- | west. He is at present in Kansas. Eaton, Lyon & Allen are getting out an il- lustrated, thirty-page catalogue for the Mc- Cord & Bradfield Furniture Co. It will bea fine job, typographically and otherwise. Russell & Austin, proprietors of the Grand Rapids Mattress Co., have made arrange- ments to start a branch establishment at Bay City. It will be located in Gates’ block, en Water street, and will be placed in charge of a son of Mr. Austin. Getting Along Fast. ““Dogou see that man passing by?” said a Canal street grain merchant, nodding toward a red-whiskered individual who was trudging past the store. “It is only afew years ago that he was in hard luck, and went around looking wretchedly shabby—in fact, I think he wore a long coat for a very particular purpose. He gota job braking on the rail- road, and in three months was placed in charge of a train. Two years later he owned two hotels up north and au addition to the eity. That’s what I call prosperity.” The last fraud—a cheap boot. HAZELTINE, PERKINS & COMPANY, WHOLESALE 49 and 44 Ottawa St., and 89, 91, 98 DRUGGISTS, and 95 Louis St., Grand Rapids, Mich.
