In  Other  Words.  “ The  Curse  of  the  Canned 

Belter  Feeling  All  Around— Miscellaneous 

The Peninsular Furniture Co. is  negotiat­
ing for the purchase of the late  Font  Furni­
ture Co.’s buildings and plant in the southern 
part of the city, aud those who are acquaint­
ed  with  the  terms  offered  state  that the 
transfer will undoubtedly be  made.

C. W. Jacoy, traveling agent for the Grand 
Rapids Chair Co., James O. Shelley, formerly 
with the Oriel Cabinet Co., but la tte r ly  with 
the  Robert  Mitcell  Furniture  Co., of  Cin­
cinnati, and J. P. Neather have formed a co­
partnership,  and  will  succeed  Ketcham  & 
Rothschild, furniture dealers at  Chicago.

Business has been fairly good  during  the I 
past week, and a more hopeful feeling seems | 
to  prevail  in  commercial  circles.  Grocery i

lh e resident correspondent o. me  i  urru- 
of the trade at this market in  tlie  followinL 
fashion:
The more written about  the  present  con- 
dition of the furniture trade, the less intelli-1 
gible the situation becomes.  It is useless to 
deny  that  business 
is [ 
(le_  equally foolish to  maintain  that  the  future j 
j bears promise of better times.  The  stagna-1 
i  tion  is by no means local, but  is so  general |
that nothing short of a  eonplete  revival  of 
business can bring" about tlie desired change. 
None of the factories  here  are  working  as 
many men as a year ago, and  tlie  output  is 
correspondingly decreased.  Moreover, fewer 
new styles will be gotten out for the  Spring 
trade than  for  several  seasons  past.  This 
disposition to curtail -expense,  where  there 
% | is amply cause for conservatism,  is  charai 
teristic of this market; and to this fact, more 
than to any other, perhaps,  is due the  small 
number of financial disasters that lias visited

Revolution  in  Logging  Appliances.

Chas.  E.  Belknap  shipped  a  carload  of 
sleighs to Albany, N. Y.,  Monday,  tlie  first 
shipment of  the  kind  ever  made  to  that 
! place.  He is full of orders for  large-wheeled 
I vehicles for logging purposes,  and  predicts 
j that the time is  not  far  distant  when  they 
will entirely supercede  the  use  of  sleighs.
! D.  P.  Clay  ordered  a  complete  outfit  of 
| sleighs this fall,  and  sent  them  into  the 
¡woods; but  as  there  was  then  no  prospect 
! of snow, lie has placed ah order for an equal 
! number of logging carts, which he  proposes 
to us« hereafter, discarding  entirely the  use 
of  sleighs.  Michigan  lumbermen  unite  in 
! the opinion that  better  results  accrue  from 
I summer logging than winter, as longer hours 
! for work and better service from men are ob­
tained, while tlie wear and tear on both  ani- 
■ nials and vehicles are necessarily Tess.

Early  Closing  on  Saturdays, 

j  After  much  solicitations, 
the  grocery 
J  houses have concluded to try the experiment 
of closing, at 8  o’clock  Saturday  afternoons

j made permanent,  or  remain  in  force  only 
j during the short winter days and so  long  as 
business

(visiting buyers  would  do  well  to  keep  in 
j mind in mind the fact that  business  is  sus­
pended promptly at 3 o’clock, and thus avoid

THE  FRISKY  NEWMANS.

The  somewhat  notorious  Newmans  are 
still absent, and will probably,not  return  to | 
this ¡Stase for  the  present.  The  bankrupt | 
stock was sold Monday  to Wm. Hardman  at j 
65>.< cents on the dollar, tlie valuation  being 
$8,700.  At the recent meeting  of  tlie  Bos­
ton creditors,  the  committee  sent  West  to 
investigate the firm’s affairs reported that the | 
“failure was a fraudulent one  and  that  the 
plot to swindle creditors had been  carefully 
planned and skillfully executed.  The goods 
were spirited away  to  different  places,  but 
where lias been impossible to  determine.”

W. H.  II. Walker,  formerly  superintend­
ent for the late firm of H.  S.  Smith  «fc  Co.. 
but latterly  foreman  of  the  Grand  Rapids 
Wheelbarrow Works, is  organizing  a  stock 
company to opeatart at Hart, the intention be­
ing to make nothing but wheelbarrows.  It is 
proposed to  effect  an  organization  with  a 
noimnal capital stock of $20,000, although  it 
is  thought  that  $15,000 will  be  an ample 
amount  to  erect  necessary  buildings,  pur­
chase machinery and furnish working capital. 
Of this sum, $10,000 has already been pledg­
ed, and Mr.  Walker  is  confident  that  tlie 
remainder of tlie stock can be placed  advan­
tageously  within  tlie  next  fortnight.  The 
location proposed is on the line  of  the  rail­
way, and the motive  power  will  be  steam. 
The capacity of  the  works  will  be  20,000 
barrows per year, ready market for which is 
found at St. Louis, Mo. 
It  is  claimed  that 
the advantage gained  in  buying  lumber  at 
first hands, and  the saving  in transportaion, 
as well as the lessened expense incident to a 
small town,  will enable the company to turn 
out manufactured goods much  cheaper than 
they could at more southern points.

Several of the local  creditors  of  Wetzel!

the hands of the  assignees,  but  hold  them 
against tlie insolvents, hoping thereby to  ef­
fect a more satisfactory settlement than  the 
assignees can  make.
It has been determined  that  a  considera­

The conflagration of Rockford Monday, by 
which two-thirds of the  business  houses  of

to that place, and  to  the  men  deprived  of

however, and most of them are taking  steps 
to resume business as soon as suitable build­
ings can be erected.  Although some  are  in

—   !
g w   Subscribers  and others,  when  writing j 
to  advertisers, will confer a favor on  the pub- j 
iisher by  mentioning that they saw the adver- j 
tlsem ent in the columns o f  this  paper.

i  mi  ■ 

“Failed because he was doing business on j 
wind;”  “Failed because he  was  trying  to J 
get rich too fast;”  “Failed  because  he  had 
too much confidence in  the  stability  of  the | 
pine boom.”  The above applications are be-1 
coming altogether too frequent.

Jack Armsby, the literary greoery broker,{ 
thus uniquely discourses on the  dullness  of j 
the  canned goods trade  in  his  last  week’s j 
review of the  market:
AVe would have to go to a  funeral  to  get 
ourselves in a  proper  state  of  mind  to  do 
canned goods justice, so we pass.

Not behind the veterans iu the newspaper 
world is the Detroit Tines.  Although but a 
lew weeks old, it  already  takes  rank  with 
the best.  For a business man,  who  has  no 
time to read the news of the  day  in  detail, 
but desires a careful condensation of the most 
important events of the time, there is no bet­
ter paper in the State.

The list of canned goods Seconds,  printed 
on another page, is a good thing  for  the re­
tail dealer  to  cut  out  and  paste  up  in  a 
itandy place for ready reference.  Whenever a 
<lrummei*or house offers to  sell  any  goods 
named  thereon,  guaranteeing  them  to  be 
first-class, the former may  be  set  down  as 
unscrupulous and unworthy of respect.

Sifted down fine, the great and signal mis- ] 
take made by the recent  lumber  insolvents, I 
was going into business at all, and  suddenly 
branching out recklessly, when they  hatl  so 
little capital.  The idea  of  doing  hundreds j 
of thousands or more of business on little or j 
nothing could have had but one ending.  Let 
it be a warning to  other ambitious firms that 
they  cannot  do  business  on  credit  alone. 
Credit is a great thing, but it must  show  its 
hand some time, and when that time  conies, 
and there is little or nothing to show, the re­
sult is disastrous.

The  Chicago  Tribune  has  compiled  a 
startling summary of the wrecks of the year 
on the Great Lakes.  JJ seems that 100  ves­
sels and not less than  2Q0  lives  have  been 
cast away; that the damage to  shipping  has 
amounted to upwards of $8,000,000, and  the 
insurance companies have suffered a net loss 
$950,000.  Most of this ruin was wrought in 
three great  storms.  The  navigation  of the 
lakes has been more perilous during the past 
season than in any six  or  eight  months  be­
fore for many years.  Unusual  loss  of  life 
on the ocean attracts wide attention.  It can 
not fairly be considered less appalling on our 
great inland fresh water seas, and yet, some­
how or other, a wreck on the lakes fades out j 
out ©f memory  much  quicker  than  one  no j 
more terrible on the Atlantic.

The  Arneficun  Furniture  Gazette,  the! 
leading  journal of its kind  in  the  country,! 
takes the same view as T h e T r a d e sm a n of 
the proposed movement at Cadillac,  looking 
loward the establishment of a new furniture 
factory, to be operated on  a  humane  basis; 
and  in  mentioning  the  matter  makes  a 
prophecy as to the probable failure of the in­
novation:
The projectors  of  the  new  furniture  es­
tablishment at Cadillac, state that the organ­
ization is “not intended to make  money  for 
the stockholders, but to furnish employment 
to men who would otherwise be idle.”  Such 
an exhibition of charity is as ridiculous as  it 
is unusual, and will doubtless be  the  death- 
knell to what might otherwise be a  success- 
full venture.  Few business men will care to 
invest money in a  concern  that  declares  at 
the outset that no dividends may  be  expect­
ed.

_________________
A  Word  to  Retailers.
From  the Commercial  Enquirer.
Under existing  circumstances,  a  man  in 
business cannot exercise too great caution in 
all his transactions.  Wholesale  merchants, 
although keenly competing with one another, 
are less inclined  to  grant  unlimited  credit 
than  at  any  tinie  heretofore.  The  men j 
whose trade is most eagerly sought after are' 
those who pay cash or buy on short time and 
meet their bills  promptly-  They  have  the 
first choice, and instead  of asking  favors of 
the  wholesaler,  the  latter  does  all  in  his 
power to oblige them.
Even the man who does only a small busi­
ness, if he pays promptly, has an  advantage 
in buying which his fellow-trader who keeps  l-6do  do 
a  large store but  is  slow  to  pay  does  not! 
possess.  It is not absolutely necessary that a j 
man should possess large capital in  order  to j 
purchase cheaply.  A  good  reputation  andj 
sound business qualities  go  a  long  way  in { 
one’s favor.  The man who  is  possessed  of 1 
ample capital may be  led  into  investments! 
other than his regular business,  and  in  this 
way incur losses that  may  swamp  him  en-I 
tirely.  His proper business may be prosper- j 
ous and well-conducted, and yet  he  rnay  be 
sinking all he earns in unwise  speculations.!
As soon as it leaks  out that he is not confin-; 
jug himself to one line, the  merchants  who 
sell to him are likely to exercise  great  cau­
tion in  their  dealings  with  him.  On  the | 
other hand, the man who sticks to  his  busi- j 
ness, and acts uprightly will gain confidence, 
and his increased facilities of purchase  will 
enable him to buy cheaper and sell  cheaper.
The man who buys on  credit  never  thor-1 
©uglily  realizes his position  until  he  recog-1 
nizes the fact  that  he  is  merely  a  trusted i 
agent.  He is, so to speak,  the  guardian  of 
the goods in his possession.  His ownership 
begins only on the day  the  goods  are  paid 
for.  Until that  time  they  are  merely  en- 
entrasted to his care to sell  for  the  mutual 
benefit of himself and  the  wholesaler  from 
whom he got them.

Alabastine is the first and  only  prepara-1 
tion made from  calcined  gypsum  rock,  for 
application  to  walls  with  a  brush, and  is I 
fully  covered  by  our  several  patents  andj 
perfected  by  many  years  of  experiments. 
It  is  the  only  permanent  wall  finish,  and 
admits  of  applying  as  many  coats  as  de­
sired, one over another, to any hard  surface 
without  danger  of  scaling,  or  noticeably 
adding to the thickness of  the  wall,  which 
is  strengthened  and  improved  by  each  ad­
ditional coat, from time  to  time.  It  is  the 
only material for the purpose not dependent 
upon glue for its adhesiveness ;  furthermore 
it is the only  preparation  that  is  claimed 
to  possess  these  great  advantages,  which 
are  essential  to  constitute  a  durable  wall 
finish.  Alabastine is hardened, on  the  wall 
by  age, moisture,  etc. ;  the  piaster  absorbs 
the  admixtures,  forming  a  stone  cement, 
while  all  kalsomines,  or  other  whitening 
preparations,  have 
inert  soft  chalks,  .or 
glue,  for  their  base,  which  are  rendered 
soft, or  scaled, in  a  very  short  time, thus 
necessitating  the  well-known  great  incon­
venience  and  expense, which  all  have  ex- 
j perienced,  in  washing  and  scraping  off  the 
I old  coats  before  refinishing. 
In  addition 
to the above advantages,  Alabastine  is  less 
expensive,  as  it  requires  but  one-half  the 
number of pounds to cover the same amount 
of surface with two coats,  is  ready  for  use 
by  simply  adding  water,  and  is easily ap­
plied  by  any  one.

It  lias  been ¡ascertained  that  more  saw 
mills have been burned and gone out  of  ex­
istence during the past year than in any one 
•year in the history  of  the  business.  The 
losses have not been less than 100, while the j 
loss of planing mills, sash and  blind  factor- i
ies may be counted by the  score.  The  year, ....-----

NEW  YORK,  1884.
-------------------------- -  :

^oout sixty million copies of The  Sun  have 
out Gf our establishment during the  past

If you were to paste end  to  end  all  the  col­
umns of The Suns printed and  sold  last  year 
you would get a continuous strip  of  informa­
tion, common sense,  wisdom,  sound  doctrine, 
and sane wit long enough to reach from  Print­
ing House Square  to the top  of Mount  Coper­
nicus  In  the  moon,  then  back  to  Printing 
House Square, and then three-quarters  of the 
way back to the moon again.

But The Sun is written  for  the  inhabitants 
of the earth;  this, same  strip  of  intelligence 
would girdle the globe twenty-seven  or  twen­
ty-eight times.

If every buyer of a copy of  The  Sun  during 
the  past year has spent only an  hour  over  It, 
and if his w ife and his  grandfather  has  spent 
another hour, this newspaper In 1883 has afford­
ed the human race thirteen thousand years  of 
steady reading, day and night.

It is only by little calculations like these that 
you can form any opinion of the circulation of 
the m ost popular of American newspapers,  or 
of its influence on the opinions and actions  of 
American men and women.

.  

The Sun is, and will continue to be,  a  news­
paper which  tells  the  truth  without  fear  of 
consequences, which gets at the facts no  mat- j 
ter how much the process cost, which presents |
the news of all the world without any waste of 
words and in the most  readable  shape,  which 
is working with all its heart  for  the  cause  of 
honest government, and  which  therefore  be­
lieves that the Republican party must  go, and 
m ust go in this year of our Lord, 1884.

If  you  know  The  Sun,  you like it already,
I and you will read it with accustomed diligence 
and profit during what is sure to  be .the  most 
j interesting year in its history.  If you  do  not 
j yet know The Sun, it is high time  to  get  into

ing larger and better built,  it  is  superior  in
