which revolves very  slowly.  On  each  side |

and branded as “Cocks,”  “Suns,” “Shields,” 
etc.  These  are  “No.  1”  peanuts.  The 
poorer  nuts,  which  are  separated  by  the 
girls at the endless belt,  are all  picked  over 
again; the best are singled out and branded, 
after being put in the sack,’ as “Ships.”  The 
“Ships” are not so large nor  so  fine  in  ap­
pearance as  the  “Cocks,”  but  are  just  as 
good for eating.  The third grade of nuts  is 
known as  “Eagles.”  and  the  cullings  that 
are left from the  “Eagles”  are  bagged  and 
sent to a building where the little meat  that 
it in them is extracted  by  a  patent  sheller. 
This “meet”—for by this name is  is  known 
to the dealers—is put up, clean  and  nice, in 
200 pound bags and shipped  for  the  use  of 
confectioners and  manufacturers  of  peanut 
candy.
There is also an oil  made  from  some  of 
the nuts, and in this specialty  a  large  trade 
is done by wholesale druggists.  Of the pea­
nuts there is nothing  wasted,  for  even  the 
shells are made useful, being put in immense 
sacks  and  sold  to  livery  men  for  horse 
bedding,  and  a  very comfortable, healthful 
bed they make.
I see by one of the Atlanta papers  that  a 
I mill is about  to  be  erected  for  the  manu­
facture  of  peanut  flour,  which  it  is  said 
I makes most excellent  biscuit. 
In  parts  of 
Georgia I have eaten pastry made from  pea- 
| nut flour, and it  was  excellent,  resembling 
cocoanut in taste somewhat, although  much 
more oily and  sweet.  The  kernels  of  the 
peanuts are ground  between  ordinary  mill­
stones and  the  flour  is  “bolted”  or  sifted 
through wire sieves in order that  all  of  the 
coarse, sharp pieces and all  the  leather-like 
skins may be removed.  The refuse—if it may 
i be so called—makes excellent food  for  pigs. 
There is one objection,  however,  to  peanut 
flour as a steady diet. 
It is said to  be  very 
injurious  to  the teeth, causing them 
first 
to turn yellow and then decay.
The cultivation of the peanut will,  before 
long, be one of the  chief  industries  of  the 
South, and bids fail’, in time, to rival  cotton 
growing as an occupation, the profits to each 
acre of land being about  the  same,  as  pea­
nuts are much easier  to  grow  than  cotton, 
requiring less care and attention.

LeRoy, Nov. 28, 1883.
E. A. Stowe,  Editor M i c h i g a n  T r a d e s m a n .
My attention has been called to an  article 
in your issue of  the  14th,  headed  “Shabby 
Treatment of Workmen.” 
It speaks  of  the 
firm of Kellogg, Lawyer & Co., which  I  as­
sume is an error, but means Kellogg, Sawyer 
& Co.
To begin with, I brand  the  writer  of  the 
article a liar, and  a  wilful  one.  There  is 
not a truthful assertion  in the article,  and  I 
demand the name of the writer. 
It does not 
rest with us alone to assert it as false, but  I 
do not think that there  is  a  man  who  has 
worked for us  but will pronounce  it  a  vil­
lainous lie, from beginning to end, so  far  as 
he is concerned.  You have seen  fit  to give 
as wide a publication to the falsehood—let us 
see if you will  be  equally  as  interested  in 
giving the denial as fair a chance.  Our repu­
tation, I think, for fair dealing with  men  is 
quite as good as would prove  to  be  that  of 
the writer of the article, and  it  is  no  more 
than right that you should give us the  name 
of so slanderous a writer, which I  trust  you 
will do at once, and oblige, Yours,

The  Most  Important  Features  ot  the  Week- 

Business  About  Steady.

D R V   GO OD S.

There is no change  in  the  business situa­
tion.  Country  dealers  are  buying  very 
cautiously.  Collections are not  any  easier.

G R O C E R IE S .

There is nothing new to note in  groceries, 
and no striking  changes  in  prices.  White- 
fish  have  taken  a  jump  and  we  advance 
quotations.  Valencia  raisins,  prunes  and 
currents  are  lower.  London  layers  and 
loose muscatels are firm.  Dried apples  and 
beans are a little off, owing to light demands. 
Coffees are still going  “heavenward.”

PROVISIONS.

The market is steady.  There was a steady 
advance from  Tuesday  until  Saturday  last 
week.  Monday morning a  break  occurred, 
but  there  was  a  general  recovery  before 
night.  Pork is bound to  go  higher,  on  ac­
count of the shortage in feed.

D R U G S  A N D   M E D IC IN E S .

The  drug  trade  was  much  lighter  in 
November than during the same  month  last 
year, although  the  aggregate  for  this  year 
will be  much  greater  than  last.  Business 
just now is quiet, and promises to remain  so 
for some time to  come.

C A N D Y ,  N U T S   A N D   F R U IT S .

The aggregate of trade  during  November 
was a little less than during the same month 
last year, but the total for the year promises 
to equal  that of  last  year.  Collections  are 
reported to be usually good, which is  doubt­
less owing to the  small amounts peculiar  to 
the business.
Florida oranges are very cheap and  good, 
bringing from §4 to §5 in this  market,  with 
good supply.  Lemons are good for this season 
of the year, and are selling at .$5 and §5.50 for 
Messina and Palermo fruit.  Malaga  grapes 
are in good supply and  sell  freely  at  from 
§5. 75 to §8.50 per bbl.  New  figs  are  good, 
and  much  cheaper  than  last  year’s  crop. 
Prices  range  from  13c  to  lTtr’for good  to 
fancy.
Peanuts  are a shade lower,  but  owing  to 
the wet weather the nuts  are  not  so  bright 
aud handsome as last year,  and  the  crop  is 
thought  to be  under  the  average,  and  low 
prices are not looked for.  Foreign nuts  are 
firm and both Brazils and filberts are higher.

H ID E S ,  P E L T S   A N D   FU 1IS .

Hides are up % c, but  there  is  no  move­
ment  justifying  the  advance.  The  whole 
business is about stationary,  and there  is no 
prospect  of  an  improvement.  Hides  will 
take their customary  drop  in  shout  a  fort­
night.

‘ •That’s  Enough—Stand  D o w n !”

In  a  contest over a will a certain witness 
was giving his evidence as to the disposition 
of the testator.
“Was he a good-natured man?”  asked  the 
attorney.
“Not altogether.”
“Was he cross, then?”
“Well, yes, rather, in places.”
“Was he very cross?”
“Considerably.”
“How cross was he?  Give us  an example 
of his disposition.”
“Well, sir, he was that cross that when he 
called up the cows at milking  time  it  made 
the milk sour.”

“That’s enough!  Stand down!”
Educate  Your  Customers.

Customers sometimes need being educated 
by grocers as to their desires.  Coffee  is an 
| article but  little  understood  by  many.  A 
| customer goes to a grocer and asks  for  the 
| best coffee, which he receives, but  does  not 
like it.  Now, the  truth  is  the  best  coffee 
can  not  be  defined.  Those  who  drink 
strong  coffee,  without  regard  to  aroma, 
should be taught  that  Rio is  the  best,  hut 
those who wish coffee of fine  aroma  should 
never allow Rio to come in contact  with the 
Java and Mocha, which are  the  kinds  they 
should  use.  Laguayra,  Maracaibo,  and 
Liberia coffees  are  somewhat  intermediate 
between the Rio  and Javas,  and  all  have 
certain qualities of their own  not  possessed 
by the  others.

Decline  in  the  Supply  of  Oysters.

Though  the  system  of  oyster  culture 
adopted in the United States is, in  its  prac­
tical features, in advance of all others, it has 
not yet been applied  to  a  sufficiently  large 
area to compensate for the destructive fishery 
of natural  beds.  Advantageous  as  is  qjir 
position, and enormous as is  the  volume  of 
the business, tiie fishery, as an entirety, is in 
a condition calculated to excite grave  appre­
hensions.  Those  vast  and  heretofore  pro­
lific regions, the beds of the Chesapeake and 
Delaware bays, are  reported  by  recent  ex­
aminers to be ir. an exhausted condition.  As 
it is from those areas that the principal  sup­
plies are drawn, and as no  adequate  efforts 
have yet been made  for supplementing their 
diminishing  yield, 
the  xuestion  arises, 
“whence is to come  the stock  for  consump­
tion  during  the  succeeding  years?”  The 
waters of Long Island  Sound  cannot  alone 
supply the  demand, and  even  now  the  oy- 
bters of that locality  are  too  expensive  for 
canning.  The  North  Carolina  sounds  anti 
the waters of the  more  southern  estuaries, 
though teeming with oysters, are too  remote 
from the market  to  afford  any  appreciable 
relief, and  if  the  condition  of  the  Chesa­
peake beds has  been  rightly  estimated,  an 
increased stringency  of  the  oyster  market 
may be  expected  during  the  winter.  The 
Baltimore and Chesapeake bay packers  will 
naturally be the chief sufferers.  During the 
past year the packing and  canning  factories 
have frequently been compel i Lid  to  suspend 
work for  want of material; and  even  when 
oysters  were  obtainable  such  high  prices 
were demanded that the profits  of  the  can­
ning industry for 1883  will  be  exceedingly 
small.  Coincident with  the increased price 
and  diminished supply is  the  deterioration 
in both size and quality, only  a  few  locali­
ties maintaining their former high  standard 
of  excellence.  The  Western  market  and 
the large cities of the  coast,  depending to  a 
great extent upon the supply from the Ches­
apeake, will  feel  more  acutely  than  other 
places  the  diminution  of  the  Chesapeake 
product; and matters continuing as they are, 
the Western trade must pass to  Connecticut 
and Long Island, while  the  canning  indus­
try, depending upon inferior grades of stock, 
will tend toward the South.

How  Chewing  Gum  Is  Made.

Petroleum is the great foundation of  most 
of our chewing gums, said a New York  con­
fectioner.  You see  that  marble-like  block 
on the counter.  A few days ago  that came 
out of the ground in Pennsylvania,  a  dirty, 
greenish-brown fluid, with a smell that would 
knock an ox down.  The oil refiners  took  it 
and put it through a lot of  chemical  proces­
ses that 1 don't know  anything  about,  and, 
after taking out a large percentage  of  kero­
sene, a good share  of  naphtha, considerable 
benzine, a cart-load or so of tar and  a  num­
ber of other things with  names  longer  than 
the alphabet, left us this mass of  nice  clean 
wax known as  paraffine.  There  isn’t  any 
taste to it, and no more smell than to a china 
plate.  We will take  this  lump,  cut  it  up 
and  melt  it  in  boilers.  This  piece  will 
weigh 200 pounds.  We  add  30  pounds  of 
cheap sugar to it and flavor  it  with vanilla, 
wintergreen,  peppermint,  or  any  essential 
oil.  Then we turn it out on a  marble  table 
and cut it into itll sorts of shapes with  dies. 
After it is wrapped in oiled tissue paper and 
packed in boxes it is ready  for  the  market. 
You can imagine that somebody is  chewing 
gum in this country when I  tell  you  that  a 
lump like this one will  make  10,000  penny 
cakes, and we use one up every week.  There 
are dozens of manufacturers using  as  much 
of the wax as we do.

A  Substitute  ior  Matches.

Countless accidents,  as  everyone  knows, 
arise from the  use  of  matches.  To  obtain 
light without employing them, and  so  with­
out the danger of setting things  on  fire,  an 
ingenious contrivance  is  now  used  by  the 
watchmen of Paris in  all  magazines  where 
explosives or inflammable materials are kept. 
Anyone may easily make trial  of  it.  Take 
an oblong phial of the  whitest  and  clearest 
glass, and put into it a piece of phosphorous 
about the size  of  a  pea.  Pour  some  olive 
oil  heated  to  the  boiling  point  upon  the 
phosphorous; fill the  phial  about  one-third 
full, and then cork it  tightly.  To  use  this 
novel light, remove the  cork,  allow  the  air 
to enter the phial, and then  recork  it.  The 
empty space in the vial will  become  lumin­
ous, and the light obtained will be  equal  to 
that of a lamp.  When the light grows  dim, 
its power can be increased by taking out the 
cork and allowing a fresh  supply  of  air  to 
enter the phial. 
In  winter  it is  sometimes 
necessary to heat the phial between the hands 
in order to increase  the  fluidity  of  the  oil. 
The apparatus thus prepared may be used for 
six months.

How  to  Detect  Oleomargarine.

From the Cash  Grocer.
There is  much  difficulty  experienced  by 
grocers in judging  oleomargarine  from  butr 
ter.  We here give two methods for so doing, 
and  we  are  sure  they  will  be  welcomed: 
Procure a viol  of  oil  of  vitrol  (sulphurie 
acid) which will cost about five  cents.  Use 
a glass rod, and put one drop on  the  article 
to be tested.  Pure, fresh yellow butter will 
turn almost white, while  tallow  changes  to 
a deep  crimson red.  Lard gives  diversified 
colors, showing  all  colors  of  the  rainbow. 
Here is another,  and  a  very  simple  test: 
Melt a very small quantity in a shallow dish, 
which should be only large  enough  to  hold 
the quantiny, and put a piece of  wick in the 
fluid.  Now light the protruding end  of  the 
wick above the  surface  of  the  liquid,  and 
after it bums a few minutes  extinguish  the 
flame.  By  inhaling  the  ascending  smoke 
from the wick the odor of fried  butter  will 
designate pure butter, but if the odor is sim­
ilar to that of smoking candle-stick you may 
rest assured it is oleomargarine.

Two rival clothing firms  of  Cleveland  de­
termined to shake that conservative town up 
with their gigantic  schemes  for  patronage. 
They offered extravagant prizes  to  purchas­
ers of  clothing, and finally one hitched a fine 
horse in the  store  and  announced  that  the 
animal, together with a house and lot, would 
be given away to customers at a  drawing  to 
occur next February.  The other  firm  came 
forward with a house completely  furnished. 
These tactics were not at all to the liking  of 
the  merchants who  sit in quiet  waiting, for 
patrons, and they began an agitation that re­
sulted in an indictment of their  enterprising 
competitorsj for  running  a  lottery  project. 
Owing to a flaw in the  indictment  the  jury 
found  for  the  defendants, and the business 
will go on.

D e a r  S i r :—In the issue of T h e Tr a d e s­
m a n of the 14th inst. an  article appeared  in 
one of its columns  headed  “Shabby  Treat­
ment of Workmen,” and  the  implication  is 
that this firm is mixed up in some  dishonor­
able transactions imputed by that  article  to 
Kellogg, Sawyer & Co.  We brand the whole 
article as a fabrication,  except  the  issue  of 
drafts, which were invariably paid in full at 
their office in Kalamazoo up to  the  time  of 
their  suspension. 
It  is  a  very  common 
practice for lumbermen in this section of the 
State, to pay by check,  and  we  cannot  see 
anything “shabby” about it.  So  far  as  we 
are concerned, we never  have  discounted  a 
check one cent, either for goods or cash, and 
the instances are not a few in which we have 
refused any bonus  and  paid  the  drafts  in 
full.  As to extortionate prices for our goods, 
our  constantly  increasing  trade  from  both 
mill and county is the only evidence we care 
to offer that the statement in  that  regard  is 
untrue.  What  we  have  further  to  say  is 
that wliefl you desire to ventilate any  man’s 
business that is none of  your  business,  you 
had best seek the information desired from re­
liable sources, and not pick up street  gossip 
or from men who have more wind  than bus­
iness pluck, and desire  to  build  themselves 
up  from the misfortunes of others.  We  de­
sire to know the name of the author.

Cheese  as  Food.

From the National Live-Stock Journal.
Cheese is generally regarded  as  a  luxury, 
and for the most part  used  as  such  in  this 
country. 
It is, however, a  substantial  food, 
and in many parts of  Europe  it  is  used  in 
the place of other animal food.  In nutritive 
qualities it compares with  beef  rather  than 
pork,  being  similar  in  composition  to  lean 
meat, pork being better represented  by  but­
ter,  which  is  chiefly  fat.  Theoretically, 
cheese is about twice as  nutritious  as  beef, 
pound for pound, but practically,  it is not so 
regarded.  The retail  prices  of  cheese  and 
beef are generally about the same, consumers 
finding in them about equal value as a means 
for sustaining life.  If there was any decided 
difference in the  actual  value  of *the  two, 
considered as substantial food, it  is  reason­
able to presume that prices  would  vary  ac­
cordingly.  When  analyzed,  whole-milk 
cheese  shows  nearly  twiee  as  much  flesh 
forming matter  as  meat,  and  skim  cheese 
nearly three  times as much.’  Those who es­

that it will do him little  good. 
I  will  give

I  don’t  write  this  for  publication, 
but  to  let  you  know  that  your article  of

I am not going  to  give  my  name,

“And I have three woolen factories,  am  a I

amount of real estate.”
“All of them uncertain  properties.  Even 
real estate  is  being  ruined  by  high  taxes.

“Well, old fellow, I hear that your  grand­
mother is dead.”
“.Yes,” replied the “old fellow” somewhat 
sadly; “she died yesterday.”
“It is the way of the world.  We must all 
die sometime, and she was well advanced  in 
years.  She left a last will and testhment, of 
course.  I have understood that she was very 
wealthy.”
“Oh, yes, she left a will  and  testament,” 
still more sadly.
“You  were  always  a  favorite  of  hers. 
Your name was mentioned, of course.”
“Yes,” he replied (and here  the  tears  be­
gan to stream down his cheeks),  “my  name 
was mentioned;  I'm to have the testament.”

Respectfully Yours,

jagr"  Subscribers  and  others,  when  writing j 
to  advertisers, will confer a favor on  the pub- j 
tisher by  mentioning that they saw the adver­
tisem ent in the columns of  this  paper.

There  are  some  symptoms  of  a  slight j- 
boom in the tea market.  Trustworthy cable J 
advices state that the shipments from China j 
to date are  5,000,000 pounds less than those | 
of  the  corresponding  period 
last  year, i 
Greens assumed quite a lively aspect  on  th e! 
receipt of this news, although  it  is  not  ex­
pected  that  there  will  be  any  permanent i 
shortage.

It is to be hoped  that  the  next  Congress 
will adopt the recommendation of the Secre­
tary of the Treasury retiring  the  trade  dol­
lars in exchange for  standards.  This  plan 
seems  the most feasible to  rid  the  country 
of the nuisance, and  make  amends  for  the 
Government’6 responsibility  for’ their  issu-j 
ance.  There are a great many still in  circu­
lation and  holders  of  them  should  not  be 
obliged to suffer the loss by  discount  which 
is now demanded  by  those  who  will  take 
them in  exchange  for  merchandise.  The 
sooner this petty nuisance is abated  the bet­
ter. 

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The estimate of the  Agricultural  Depart­
ment of the  yield  of  corn  is  1,000,000,000 
bushels.  The yield per acre in the States rais­
ing  a surplus,  is at the highest, a trifle over 
thirty-six bushels per acre in  Kansas,  while 
Ohio averages only twenty-eight bushels per 
acre, and Georgia  only  nine. 
In  the  new J 
States, where the soil has  not  been  imppv- j 
erished, it is  not expected that it  should  be j 
duly  fertilized, but in  Ohio,  where  land  is 
comparatively high, where it is all occupied, j 
and where  horses  and  cattle  are  kept  in J 
abundance, the yield is strangely low, and it 
is due, no doubt, to inefficient fanning, which, 
if continued,  will lead inevitably to such  in-1 
fertility as to enhance prices.
As will be noticed in another part  of  this 
week’s paper, the business men  of  Cadillac J 
have organized a stock company for the pur- 
pose  of  engaging  in  the  manufacture  of | 1 KltnN 
cheap  furniture  and  woodenware.  That] 
such a movement at this  time  is  ill-advised 
and extremely precarious need  not  be dem­
onstrated.  The  furniture  business  is  seri­
ously depressed, as  the  result  of  the  over­
production  of  cheap  and  medium  grade 
goods; and any  attempts  looking  toward  a 
further augmentation of the  over-production 
cannot fail to meet  with  ill  success,  if  not 
downright  disaster.  There  are  plenty  of 
other avenues  in  which  money  can  be  in­
vested to advantage, and which bear promise 
of sure and steady returns.  .

The Iron  Age publishes a number of  let- j 
ters  from  nail  manufacturers  giving  tlielr j 
views on the  present  condition  and  future J 
prospects of  the  trade.  A  member  of  the i 
Western Nail Association  says  that  manu- j 
faeturers will control the product by suspen- j 
sions. 
If a stoppage of five weeks  will  not i 
effect the object,  another stoppage  will  fol- j 
low.  Another considers the outlook for 1884 j 
decidedly gloomy,  while  Eastern  manufac- j 
turers express the opinion that the  great  in­
crease of factories was caused by  the  Pitts­
burg strike  two years  ago,  as  during  that 
time a boom was created  which  resulted  in 
the organization of many new plants.  Pres­
ident Cobbs,  of the Iron & Nail Company of 
Aurora, Ind., says that the nail trade is  un­
dergoing a complete revolution by the use of 
wrought scrap, by which nails are  manufac­
tured at 50 cents a  keg  less  than  from  pig 
metal.

For the first time  in  T h e  T r a d esm a n’s 
brief existence, some  of  its  statements  are 
called into  question. 
Instead  of  being  ap­
proached in a gentlemanly manner, however, 
we are assailed with  epithets,  coupled with 
imperative demands, equally offensive.  That 
the demands come  from  a  firm  that but  a 
few weeks  ago  was  reputed  to  be  worth 
half  a  million  dollars  has  no  more  effect 
upon  us  than if  they  were  made  by  the 
poorest  woodchopper  in  the  north  woods. 
In this connection, a few general statements 
relative to the courtesy  commonly  accorded 
newspapers  under  similar  circumstances 
may not be out of place.  There is no editor 
—who  deserves  the  name—who  will  not 
gladly make  every  reparation  at  his  com-j
mand, .when  once  convinced  that  he is in I 
error,  provided  the  aggrieved  party  ap-  (Jan   and  See  TJs  When  in  the  City.  We  Are  Headquarters  for 
proaches him in a manner befitting  a gentle- 
man.  Whenever  the  latter,  however,  as-a 
sumes the air of a boor and the method of  a j 
bully,  there are ten  chances  to  one  that j 
he fails to obtain satisfaction.  Occasionally, j 
recourse is made to the libel law, but the re­
sults in this direction have  been  so  univer-1 
sally unsatisfactory of late that litigation  o f; 
this character is decidedly  unpopular.

His  Feelings  Hurt.

A  young man w ho had been assisted away 
from the home  of the girl w hose  society  he 
yearned  for,  wrote  next  day  to  the  cruel 
parent as follow s:

“I did not  mind  w hat  you  said  to  me, 
though your language was rather rough,  but 
w hen you kicked me with that  No.  11  boot, 
you  hurt  m y  feelings. 
I  shall  m ake  no 
further efforts to win your daughter.  I f she 
inherits your style of feet,  and any  of  your 
versatility in the use  of  them,  I feel that  I 
could not be entirely happy w ith her.”

Alabasti ne 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.
ig  t^e  on]y  permanent  wall  finish,  and 
applying  as  many  coats  as  de- 
sired, one over another, to any hard  surface 
without  danger  of  scaling,  or  noticeably 
adding to the thickness of  the  wall,  which 
is  strengthened  and  improved  by  each  ad­
ditional coat, from time  to  time. 
It  is  the 
only material for the purpose not dependent 
upon glue for its adhesiveness ;  furthermore 
it is the only  preparation  that is  claimed 
to  possess  these  great  advantages,  which 
are  essential  to  constitute  a  durable  wall 
finish.  Alabastine is hardened on  the  wall 
by' age, moisture,  etc.;  the  plaster  absorbs 
the  admixtures,  forming  a  stone  cement, 
while  all  kalsoraines,  or  other  whitening 
preparations,  have 
inert  soft  chalks,  or 
glue,  for  their  base,  which  are  rendered 
soft, or  scaled, in  a  very  shoi't  time, thus 
necessitating  the  well-known  great  incon­
venience  and  expense, which  all  have  ex­
perienced,  in  washing  and  scraping  off  the 
old  coats before  refinishing. 
In  addition 
to the above advantages,  Atabastine  is  less 
expensive,  as  it  requires  but  one-half  the 
number of pounds to cover the same amount 
of surface with two coats, is  ready  for  use 
by  simply  adding  water,  and  is easily ap­
plied  by  any  one,

Muskegon  News:  The season  of  lumber 
manufacturing is rapidly closing,  and proba- 
bly but few of the mills will be in  operation 
after this week.  There is nothing  doing  in 
the market, and there is considerable  uncer- 
tainity as  to  the  future  of  prices  for  the 
coarser grades.
Gardiner & Fargo,  grocers  at  Muskegon, 
will occupy new  quarters in  the  Rifenburg 
block January 1.  The vacated  store  in  the 
Landreth  block  will  be  occupied  by Fred 
Brundage & Co., druggists, and W. B. Cutler, 
shoe dealer, will  move  into  the  store  for­
merly occupied by Bundage.

A peculiarity of the make-up of  the  busi­
ness men of Coopersville is that seven prom­
inent  representatives  of  trade  there  were 
formerly residents of Edwards and Hermon, 
S t Lawrence county, N. Y.  They are J. B.,

“I believe I’ll have to reduce your  wages, 
John,” said a miserly employer to one of his 
help the other day.

“What for,” was the query.
“Because things  are  coming  down.  The 
necessaries of life are cheaper, and  you  can 
afford to get along on smaller pay.”
“I should like td  know  what  necessaries 
of life are cheaper,” said John.  “Beef is  as 
high as ever, flour hasn’t dropped a cent, and 
coal is as dear as ever.”
“Well,” said the employer,  as  he  turned 
away,  “at  any  rate,  the  price  of  postage 
stamps has been reduced one-third.”

The recent failure  of  the  boot  and  shoe 
j firm of P. E. Newman & Co., the  report  of 
j  the assets and liabilities  filed  by  the  assig- 
I nee, coupled with the fact that the assignors 
offer to settle at 40 cents on  the  dollar—al­
though the condition of the  stocks  does not 
warrant the  offer—have  caused  much  un­
favorable comment and aroused a  desire  to 
know more of the man who was able to  lay 
out liis creditors  to  the  tune  of  $20,000. 
With a view to satisfying this  desire,  T iie

Tradesman has made diligent  mquny 
t  | 
lus career and obtained the  following  fact.  atjm^ s 
relating thereto:
N ewm an came here  in  September,  1879, 
from M eadville, Pa.,  w here  he  operated a 
tea store for his  father-in-law,  Louis  Red-1 
lich.  T he latter failed,— and the impression 
prevailed at the tim e  that  he  broke  with 
m oney  in  his  pocket— and  N ewm an  left 
w ith no tangible  property,  being  reported 
as “financially worthless.”  Opening a store 
on  Canal street, he claimed to be worth  $2,- 
800,  and stated that the  style  of  the  firm 
would be P.  Newm an.  To  some  creditors, 
he  represented  that  the  “P ”  stood 
for 
P hillip, w hile to others h e stated that it was 
the initial of  his  w ife,  Pauline. 
B eing 
identity  of  “P aisa” 
questioned as  to  the 
Newm an,  the  signature  he  affixed to 
the 
lease for the  store,  he. explained  away  the 
seem ing singularity by stating that  “P aisa” 
is the Hebrew name for  P hillip,  and  that 
he  sometimes 
that  cognomen. 
January 15,  1880,  he'asserted  that  he  ran 
the business in  his own name;  and  on  June 
26, of that year,  he announced his determin­
ation to  assume a  m iddle  name,  Edward, 
in order that no one m ight  m istake  his  in­
itial for that of Pauline.  The  concern  was 
January 1, 
then known as P.  E.  Nejvman. 
1880,  Marcus Sheftel purchased  a  half 
in­
terest for $4,000—said to  have been  obtain­
ed in a peculiar transaction at H ornellsville, 
N.  Y .,—and the firm w as  known  as  P.  E. 
Newm an & Co.  Louis  Redlicli, whose  rep­
utation is som ewhat  unsavory,  moved  here 
from  M eadville in April,  1881,  and on  Aug­
ust  19,  of the same  year,  Newm an  made a 
sworn  statem ent  that  his  resources  were 
$11,753.15,  and  his  debts  only  $1,003.47, 
leaving a  net  capital  of  $10,689.68.  H e 
further averred that his sales  that  year  up 
to that date amounted  to  $17,450, 
that  he 
had never  failed, 
that  he  w as  conducting 
business in his own name,  and that  he  had 
no private debts. 
I11 June,  1882,  Sheftel re­
tired from the firm,  taking the stock at E lk­
hart.  N ewm an  then  came  to  the  front 
again  w ith  a  statement  claim ing  $10,400 
net capital and a stock valued at from  $13,- 
000 to $14,000. 
In  March,  1883,  S.  J.  N ew - f 
m as,  of Cleveland,  purchased a half interest j 
in the concern,  and the  firm  was 
thereafter | 
known  as P.  E.  Newm an & Co.  A   branch 1 
was established  at South Bend,  and  one  at 
Kalamazoo, under charge of Louis  Redlich. 
The  firm has been generally  regarded  w ith 
a feeling of distrust,  and R.  G.  Dun  & Co.’s 
M ercantile  A gency  never 
recommended 
them  as desirable customers.  A 11  offer  to 
settle is made on the basis  of 40 per cent.— 
30 per cent,  cash  and  10  per  cent,  paper— 
but the probability is that it w ill  not  be ac­
cepted.  M ost of the creditors are now   rep­
resented here and others are  arriving daily. 
A ll of the 
latter  are  of  the  opinion  that 
Newm an has been carrying on business as a 
cover for Redlich,  and  that if  they  act 
in 
the  matter* they 
concert and stand out 
w ill be  able to  obtain a  much 
larger  per­
centage than that now  offered.  T he  assets

Where  It  Came  In.

“Mr. Maples,” said the  junior  partner  of 
the house, as he looked over the expense ac­
count of one of his travelers  just  in,  “your 
expenses are just $25  more  for  two  weeks 
than the last man on that  route.”
•  “Is that so?  What sort of a man was he?” 

“One of our best salesmen.”
“Did he smoke, drink and chew?”
“He did.”
“Stop at all the best hotels?”
“Yes.”
“Take sleepers and parlor-cars?”
“Yes.”
“Well, then, it  must  be  that  when  he 
struck that fat grocer  at  Muskegon  he won 
$25 at draw-poker where  I  lost  it?  I  was 
going to suggest to  you  that if  1 was to re­
main on that route it would pay  the  firm  to 
hire some one to give me a few lessons!”
