ALABASTINE!

Alabastine is the first and  only  piepara- 
tion made from  calcined  gypsum  rock,  tor 
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 
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  Avail 
finish.  Alabastine is hardened on  the  wall 
by  age, moisture,  etc.;  the  plaster  absorbs 
the  admixtures,  forming  a  stone  cement, 
while  all  kalsomines,  or  other  whitening 
preparations,  have 
inert  soft  chalks,  or 
glue,  for  their  base,  which  are  rendered 
soft, or  scaled, in  a  very  short  time, thus 
necessitating  the  well-known  great  incon­
venience  and  expense, which  all  have  ex­
perienced,  in  washing  and  scraping  off  the 
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.

AN  IM P R O V ED   W A LL  FIN IS H .

Boralumine,  a  Substance  which  Forms  ihe 
Basis of an  Unexcelled  Covering  for Walls. 
As  the  time  for  spring  trade is fast ap­
proaching,  we  take  pleasure  in calling the 
attention  of  our  readers  to  an  institution 
whose constantly increasing business speaks 
well for the merits of the  article  they  pro­
duce.  The Boralumine Company have com­
pleted arrrangements by which they can fur­
nish unlimited quantities  of  the  “best  w |ll 
finish on  the  market.”  While  Boralumine 
makes a harder finish than other compounds 
it is not necessary to use it at once to keep it 
from  spoiling  on 
the  workman’s  hands. 
Boralumine  can  be  used  some  days  after, 
being mixed with boiling water for use,  and 
is better and works easier after standing  for 
a few hours.  Other compounds,  if not used 
within a few hours after  mixing, are  worth-1 
less. 
It would be well for all  interested  in 
this line of goods to look into the  merits  of 
this  article  before  laying  in  their  spring 
stock.  The  following  we  clip  from  the 
Commercial World and United States Ex­
porter, of  New  York, which  gives  a  clear 
and concise description of the. article:
The finish that is applied to  the  walls  of 
most of our modern  houses  is,  unless  very 
expensive, of a highly unsatisfactory nature. 
The ordinary  “hard finish” is very  satisfac­
tory as long as it keeps clean, but when once 
soiled it  cannot  be  renewed.  Only  three 
courses are open to the decorater.  He  must 
paint, paper or kalsomine  it.  The  first  is 
too expensive to be applied to common  uses, 
the porous walls taking  an  enormous  quan­
tity  of  expensive  paint  to  properly  cover 
them.  The surface formed being entirely im­
pervious  to  moisture  and  non-porous,  any 
moisture in the room is liable to condense on 
it, to which fact is attributed  by  physicians 
in some cases  the  accumulation  of  disease 
germs, especially where any infectious  com­
plaints have been  treated  in  the  building. 
Paper, on account of its expense, lack of du­
rability, liability to damage,  and  faculty  of 
harboring vermin, is with most  families  un­
popular,  while  kalsomine,  a compound  of 
glue or size and  whiting,  becomes  disinter­
gated by the  decomposition  of  tha  organic 
substance, and is bfushed off  on  everything 
coming in contact with it.  It must be washed 
off completely if any other  decoration  is  to 
De used, or even a fresh coat is to be effectu­
ally applied.
Against  these  many  defects  many  com­
plaints have been made, but it  was  left  for 
discoverers of Boralumine to find a substance 
obviating them. 
In western Michigan enor­
mous deposits of hard  sulphate  of  lime,  or 
rock gypsum, as it is technically called, exist, 
and from this substance, by a process covered 
by letters patent, the Boralumine  Company, 
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, have  succeeded 
in producing a wall finish  that  surpasses  in 
durability  and  handsome  appearance  any­
thing in the market.  Supplied in  the  form 
of a powder and applied after mixing  to  the 
required  consistency  with  warm  water,  it 
forms a hard coating, with all the porosity of 
a hard finish, hardening with age,  and which 
can  be  applied,  one  coat over the other, as 
often as the walls need covering.  It will set 
firmly over old kalsomine and form a perfect 
hard finish, and it may be applied with equal 
success to a wall that  has  been  previously 
papered, as long as the loose portions are re­
moved.  Used  thickly  it  forms  a  durable 
stopping for cracks, etc.,  and it will  give  to 
a sand finished wall an appearance  equal  to 
the best hard finished work.  Prdtected with 
a light coat of oil paint it forms the most du­
rable coating for exterior  work,  and  is,  in 
.fact* from the perfection with which it stops 
all pores in the wood,  a  most  durable  and 
ecomomical wood filler.  Being furnished in 
every tint required, it is a both effective and 
durable material for fresco and  scene  paint­
ing work, while it will never rub off, nor  do 
splashes  of  water  on  it  spoil  its  surface. 
Finally, it is essentially a  cheap  substance, 
j of  great  covering  capacity  and  easily  ap­
plied, there being no stiffness in working,  as 
in kalsomine.  It is put on precisely like the 
latter, with  a  brush,  and  additional  coats 
may be laid on  immediately,  one  after  the 
other, though it is better to wait  until  each 
is dry.
To  many  readers  of  the  Commercial 
World among builders, the decorating trades, 
plasterers and  others,  we  commend  Bora­
lumine as an excellent substitute for the  de­
fective  wall  finishes  now  in  use,  and  we 
would  advise  them  to  apply  to  the  Com­
pany  as  above  for  their  price  list,  which 
contains further valuable information on the 
subiect;  but above all,  to  obtain  a  sample 
from them, at small cost,  and  try  it  them­
selves.
Ask your jobber for  prices and any  other 
information.

The  Grocer’ s  Wooing.

The grocer loved a charming girl,
He wondered if she’d marry him,

As lovely as the day;
And said, “ Let’s  Soap she may.”

And straightway to her house he went, 
Exclaiming, “ Ah, I  know full well 

Her lovely face to see,
That Cheese the girl for me.”

The girl was very kind, and said 
To see him there, and then remarked 

That she was very glad
What a bad Coffee had.

^nd soon they got most intimate,
But when he spoke of marriage, said 

She let him kiss her brow,
“ Oh, do not Teas me now.”

The grocer’s spirits fell at this,
He felt as though he’d die,
And hinted at a'suicide,
While she Bacon to cry.

“ You silly boy, you don’t suppose 
I ’m blind to all your merits,”
It’s evident she knew a way 
Oi Raisin up his “ sperits.”

smooth,

But  true  love’s  course  did  ne’er  run 

And kicked him from the room, and said, 

Her father saw them kiss;
“ You’d Biscuit out of this.”

And thus adjured he soon got out,
And tumbling headlong down the  stairs, 

It hardly need be  said;
Mustard-ly hit his head.

“ Oh, father, you are cruel, to 
Thus spoke the girl, and father said—

So roughly handle us;”
“ I think it’s Candle us.”

#

Papa relented when he saw 
“ There,  there,  you think my treatment 

His child begin to cry;

“ There, keep your lover, dry your eyes, 
And let’s have qo more row;
I did not like the man, but my

Some  Facts  About  the  Light  of  Other  Days.
“Not one hundredth part of the number of 
candles are sold how in comparison  with  55 
years  ago,”  said a prominent grocer yester­
day.  “Oil, gas and the electric light are the 
great enemies  of  the  candle, yet  there  are 
some people who still use them.”

“What kinds are  used?”
“Palm,  tallow  and  wax.  The  Catholic 
churches require a large number for the fes­
tivals,  many being of the best quality.  Most­
ly palm candles are  used,  but  the  two  eu- 
charist lights must be of wax.  So particular 
are some of  the  Catholic  clergy  in  getting 
them pure that I have known them to  order 
them from Rome.”

“How are candles made?’,
“In moulds and by dipping.  The ordinary 
tallow  candle  is  made  by  placing  cotton 
wick in moulds and  pouring  melted  tallow 
in them and letting them cool.  Wax  is  not 
adapted to  moulding in  consequence  of  the 
contraction  which  it  undergoes  in  cooling 
and the tenacity with  which  it  adheres  to 
the sides of the  moulds.  Wax  candles are 
made by properly cutting  and  twisting  and 
warming a set of wicks.  These are attached 
to a stick or ring suspended over a  basin  of 
melted wax.  This wax is poured  from  the 
top from' a  ladle  while  each  wick  is  kept 
twisted.  This process is continued until the 
candle is of sufficient thickness.  While  hot 
they  are rolled with a flat piece of  wood  in 
order to make them round.  The  large  can­
dles used in Catholic churches are  made  by 
placing a wick on  a  slab  of  wax,  bending 
this together and then rolling it into shape.”
“How many candle power does an electric 
light possess?”
“One of the Brush electric lights has 1,000 
candle  power  and  somewhat  eclipses  the 
light of other days.”

LOCAL  OPINIONS  ON THE  SUBJECT.

Representative Fletcher says  that there is 
crying  need for  bankruptcy  legislation  at 
the present time, but doubts whether it  can 
be secured at this'session of  Congress.  Mr. 
Houseman, he says, is inclined to think that 
the majority of the members are in  favor of 
such legislation, but  from  all  he  has  read 
and heard otherwise, he  is  inclined to  form 
a contrary opinion.
L. E. Hawkins says that  he  has  studied 
the question carefully and come to the  con­
clusion that we want  no national  bankrupt 
law—especially  a  law  drafted  in  the  in­
terest  of  Eastern  creditors. 
If  Grand 
Rapids jobbers were selling in  other  states, 
they might he in favor  of  a  national  law, 
but as it is, a good state  law is  far  prefer­
able.  Mr. Hawkins is  acquainted with  the 
sentiments  of  Detroit  merchants  on  this 
question, and states  that  they  are  almost 
without exception unqualifiedly  opposed  to 
the  measure.

SOME  OBJECTIONS. TO  THE  LAAV.

From* the Detroit News.
A number of business  men  calling  them­
selves  the  national  bankrupt  law  conven­
tion have been discussing the  Lowell  bank­
rupt law at Washington for some days  past, 
and have resolved to urge  its  passage  upon 
Congress.  The bill  was  proposed  in  1880 
by Judge Lowell of the  United  States  Cir­
cuit at the request of the Board of  Trade  of 
Boston, and revised by the Senate  Judiciary 
Committee.* It was of-course inspired chiefly 
by the interests of those by whose request  it 
was prepared, and might be expected to con­
cern  itself chiefly  Avith  the  wishes  of  the 
creditor. 
It is a measure for liquidation  by 
arrangement.  The  career  of  a  bankrupt 
may be reviewed for six months previous  to 
bankruptcy;  a  majority  in  number  with 
three-fourths in value-is required to  make  a 
composition.  With  these  limitations  the 
whole matter is in  the  hands  of  the  cred­
itors, the minority having no redress for any 
wrong that may be committed.  A  Commis­
sioner in Bankruptcy, at a salary of $2,000 a 
year, presides over the meetings of the cred­
itors, but has no power  to  correct  their  ac­
tion.  Western members of Congress should 
not  too  hastily  commit  themselves  to  the 
support  of this  measure,  merely  because  a 
convention  of  business  men  assembled  at 
Washington and approved  it. 
It  should  be 
remembered that the gentlemen who  recom­
mended it, may, and probably do,  all  repre­
sent one side and one interest. 
It is not ab- 
seluty necessary to have a bankrupt  law  of 
any sort this session.  The  lack  of  such  a 
law is forcing business men to depend  more 
upon their own  prudence  than  upon  legal 
processes to avoid losses,  and  the  result  is 
that business is being done  in  a  very  con­
servative way, with  short  credits  and  fre­
quent settlements.  Losses  by  failures  are 
very small—less, it is said, than half of  one 
percent,  on the  volume  of  business. 
It 
would doubtless be better to have a  uniform 
bankrupt  law,  but  it  should  be  carefully 
studdied with a  view  to  the  interests  and 
wishes of all sections  and  classes,  and  not 
solely  with a view to one section or olass.

The  Newmans  Refuse  To  Make  Further  Offers 

of  Compromise.

Mr. N. A. Fletcher, attorney  for  the  late 
firm of P. E. Newman & Co.,  hatl  an  inter­
view with Louis Redlich on the 18th,  and a 
conclusion was reached that it would be un­
wise to make any offer  of  compromise with 
the  creditors,  as  the  latter  would  not he 
likely to accept such an  offer  as  the  New­
mans  would  be  inclined  to  make.  Mr. 
Fletcher stated that  the  reports  which  had 
come through the telegraph at two  different 
times to the effect that meetings of the cred­
itors of the firm had  been  held  at  Boston, 
and offers of 40 per cent, refused, were with­
out foundation in fact,  so  far  as  offers  to
concerned,  as  no  action  of
ha<l been taken.  The reports were
| probably sent out at the instance  of  certain 
Boston creditors,  who 
took  that  means  to
j coerce  the Newmans into some sort of a set­
tlement. 
It was Mr. Fletcher’s opinion that 
nothing further Avould be done in the matter 
by  the  Newmans,  and  that  the  creditors 
would receive only the amount  now  in  the 
hands  of  the  assignee—a mere bagatelle of 
their  claims.

Mr. E. G. Studley, Avho is interested to the 
tune of over $2,000, does  not think the cred­
itors Avill ever realize anything  worth  men­
tioning—probably not to exceed  2  per  cent. 
When the Newmans offered to settle  on  the 
basis of 30 per cent, cash  and  10  per  cent, 
paper, he strenuously advised the acceptance 
of the compromise,  but  was  over-ruled  by 
the majority of the creditors, who  had  been 
mislead by certain local legal firms,  the  lat­
ter promising to secure the amounts  in  full. 
Subsequent  e\Tents  have  proved 'that  Mr. 
Studley Avas right in the matter, and  that if 
his advice  had been  heeded,  much  useless 
expense Avould have been avoided, and cred­
itors would have secured  no  inconsiderable- 
percentage.  He understands that the  New­
mans claim that the loss of  their  stock  and 
business here is  a  great  damage  to  them, 
that the legal assistance they have been com­
pelled to employ has been an additional  ex­
pense of  several  hundred  dollars,  so  that 
they are not now likely to make any further 
overtures  looking  toward a  settlement,  re­
solving to  allow  the  creditors  to  take  the 
amount in the  hands  of  the  assignee,  and 
whistle for the remainder.

The Newmans, one and all,  bag and^ bag­
gage, have left the city—for the city’s good.

BRADY  IN  LIM B O .
Invoking  the  Aid  of  the  Law 

Debts.

in  Collecting 

From all reports, Luther contains two fair­
sized specimens of the worst variety of insol­
vent  debtors—the  class Avho pay only when 
compelled to  do  so  to  escape  prosecution. 
And if the reports of the mercantile agencies 
and  the  grievous  complaints  of  interested 
creditors are to  be  believed,  A.  Brady  de­
serves to take first rank is the grand array of 
dishonest  delinquents.  Brief  mention  was 
made last week to  this  worthy’s  ability  to 
escape deserved punishment, and  this  week 
we are enabled to chronicle another  episode 
in his business career.  He lately purchased 
a considerable amount of  produce  from  M. 
C. Russell, the commission dealer doing bus­
iness on Ottawa  street. 
It  coming  to  the 
latter’s notice that Brady was selling canned 
goods 33 per cent, less than they cost him in 
Grand Rapids, and flour  below  the  cost  of 
manufacture, Russell concluded  to dispatch 
his  right-hand salesman,. IA. Miller, to the 
scene of  trouble.  Miller  reported Athat  the 
rumors to the  effect that Brady was  dispos­
ing  of  his  goods  at  less  than  cost  prices 
were true, and  Avas  instructed  to  push  his

law at Reed City, Miller proceeded  to  cause 
Brady’s arrest on a  charge  of  fraud. 
. The 
latter disclaimed  having  any  wrong  inten­
tions toward his crediters, offered  to  settle, 
but denied having any  money  at command. 
This latter statement Miller  was incline^’ ;to 
disbelieve,  and  asserted  that  Brady  must 
either  pay  up  or answer  the  consequences. 
After  parleying  over  the  matter  several 
hours,  Brady suddenly remembered that  he 
had a roll of bills  in  his  bedroom,  and  on 
being taken there by an officer  produced  no 
inconsiderable  amount  of  money,  paying 
Miller’s  claim  in full and the eoi&s involved, 
and was released from custody. 
It was  the 
second time he had been arrested on  a simi­
lar charge and promises not  to  be  the  last. 
In the mean time, interested  parties  wonld

Several heavy buyers have put  in  an  ap­
pearance during the  past  week.  They  all 
agree that stocks are sold very low,  and  all 
have placed large orders.  The mail business 
is unexpectedly interesting, and every  indi­
cation  points  to  an  active  and  profitable 
spring business.

Grand Rapids manufacturers  are  making 
more mahogany goods this spring than  ever 
before, and visiting  buyers  are  purchasing 
heavily, instead of going East for  this  class 
of  furniture.  The  latter  claim  that  our 
goods  are  superior  in  workmanship  and 
possess greater variety than those turned out 
at any other market.

Sound  Advice.

A  man  who knows how  ta  take  cave  of 
his business  says :
Standing advertisements in a paper inspire 
confidence.  Thé man Avho for a year resides 
in a community and  lives  a  reputable  life, 
even though he be of moderate  ability,  will 
grow in  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  his 
fellows.  On the same princple a newspaper 
advertisement becomes familiar  in  the  eye 
of the reader. 
It may seldom be read, yet it 
makes the name and business  of  a  man  fa­
miliar  and its presence in the eolumns* of  a 
paper inspires confidence in the  stability  of 
the advertiser.

A  Universal  Wedding  Present.

There is a street  railway  in  this  city  so

ricultural tools was the chief  industry,  was j 
296.  Nearly all these  works  have  largely 
increased their capacity lately, and  most  of 
them have about them all  the  evidences  of 
prosperity.  The aggregate  output  of  these 
establishments does  not, indeed, constitute a 
formidable proportion of the total production 
of the country, but it indicates a  remarkable 
advance in a field  hitherto  almost  monopo­
lized by the North aud West, a result  which 
is not less  encouraging  than  the  fact  that 
Southern cotton-mills in the past three years 
went  up  from 713,989 spindles to 1,276,422, 
an increase of 80 per cent.

Fruit

It will certainly be a  mistake  to  prevent 
the  circulation  of  one and two  dollar bills, 
as some  congressmen  propose,  by  refusing 
the  needed  appropriation  to  replace  muti­
lated bills. *  The idea  that  the silver  dollar 
can  be  forced  into  the  place  of  the  small 
bank  notes  may  be  all  right  so  far  as  the 
mere  substitution is concerned, but it  is im­
possible for  any  coin  to  wholly  meet  the 
needs  subserved  by  the  small  bills.  One 
and  two  dollar notes  are  especially  needed 
for  mail  remittances,  for  which  the  postal 
notes  and money orders are not available in 
many eases.  If it could be so arranged that 
the postal notes could be issued by any post­
master the necessity for small treasury notes 
and bank bills would be lessened,  but  there 
would still be a limited sphere of usefulness 
subserved by them and nothing  else.  Con­
gress should not be  too  hasty  to  aet upon 
this plan of driving .small notes out of  exis­
tence, but reflect that the conveniences of the 
people merit some consideration.  The with­
drawal of all the small notes will inevitably 
result in an increased use of postage  stamps 
as money, a purpose for which they  are  not 
only ill adapted but which they  cannot  sub­
serve without a considerable damage  to  the 
Government, since the direct result  of  such 
use is to unduly increase  the  compensation 
paid many postmasters.

Mercantile and Manufacturing Interests of the State.

Advertising rates made known on application.

WEDNESDAY,  JAN. 23,  1884.

Subscribers and others,  when writing 
ta advertisers, will confer a favor on the pub­
lisher by  mentioning that they saw the adver­
tisement in the columns of  this paper.

In the death of Fred Spring, the dry goods 
trade  loses  one  of its most energetic work­
ers, and the patrons of  this  market  are  de­
prived of a  conscientious  adviser  and  con­
servator of their interests.

The United  States,  in  its  dealings  with 
foreign countries, sold more than  it  bought 
in 1883.  This is  a healthy  condition  of  af­
fairs ;  yet as  we paid tens of millions of dol­
lars  to foreign ship  owners  for  transporta­
tion,  it would be difficult to say upon which 
side of the national ledger the  balance  will 
be found.

The conflagration at Lowell on  Saturday, 
involving losses three times in excess of  the 
insurance,  emphasizes the suggestions made 
-in T he T radesman last  week  relative  to 
the  advisability  of  keeping  well  insured. 
No business man  can  afford  to  ignore  the 
question of insurance, and the more  precari­
ous the risk, and the greater the  amount  of 
goods bought on credit, the  more  pertinent 
the question becomes.  The  present  season 
is  proving  particularly 
to 
“ wooden towns,” without adequate  fire-pro­
tection, and the sooner uninsured merchants 
make a more in the matter, the better it will 
be for themselves,  their  creditors,  and  the 
towns in which they are located.

disastrous 

The most Successful  journalistic  venture 
in the West for many  years  is  the  Detroit 
Evening  Journal. 
It  is  now  only  four 
months old and has a  circulation  of  nearly 
17,000, with an increase of from  100  to  500 
every week. 
Its special attention  to Michi­
gan  matters has already made  it  a  favorite 
throughout the State, and no  Detroit  paper 
covers the ground more fully. 
It is now  an 
established institution, and no  daily  in  the 
West can point to a like success in the same 
space of  time,  no  evening  paper  publishes 
more complete telegraphic news, and its mar­
ket  reports  are  endorsed  by  the  Detroit 
Board of Trade as the most reliable and  sat­
isfactory  arrangement  of  commercial  news 
-given to Michigan  readers.

As will be  seen  in  another  column,  the 
convention  which  met  at  Washington  last 
week  mainly  to  review  the  Lowell  bank 
ruptcy bill,  but  presumably  to  deal  in  ar 
advisory way with  all  cognate  legislation, 
resolved to reccommend the Lowell draft  to 
Congress, after  adding  some  amendments. 
The necessity for uniformity  in bankruptcy 
matters is out of all question,  but  the  diffi­
culty  has  been  to  devise  a  measure  that 
would fairly meet the varying  conditions  of 
commerce and equitablyfsecure the interests 
of creditor and debtor  alike.  Honest cred­
itors and honest  debtors  are  not  the  only 
people to be considered.  There  are,  unfor­
tu n a te ,  dishonest  debtors  dealing  with 
honest creditors, and honest debtors  dealing 
with  grasping  creditors.  The  adjustment 
of the differences likely to arise under these 
varying 
forms 
the difficulty of  legislation,  and  renders  it 
extremely unlikely  that  a  measure  of  this 
kihd will be passed at the present session of 
Congress.  Michigan merchants  and  manu­
facturers may safely be set down as opi>osed 
to the proposed law.

circumstances 

is  what 

There are reasons  for  believing  that  the 
climax of railroad building in  this  country, 
which, for eighteen years past, has absorbed 
so large a proportion of the national energy, 
lias  been  passed,  and  that  from  this  time 
forth  it  will  be  prosecuted  in  a moderate 
manner.  The mileage built in 1883 shows a 
falling off of 4,981 miles from the  preceding 
year—6,608 for  1883  and  11,591  ¿or  1882; 
and it shows a falling off, too,  as  compared 
wjth each preceding  year  from  1879.  The 
oountry is  now  pretty  well  supplied  with 
railroads,  having  an  aggregate  of  120,000 
miles.  Nearly all  the  needed  trunk  lines 
are built in the East aud West, and the work 
of adding the necessary branches as they are 
demanded will not require a iarge amount of 
energy  or  capital.  Many  of  the  Eastern 
states  are  completely  equipped,  and  even 
branch road building in them is ended.  The- 
Southern and some  of  the  Western  states, 
Michigan among them, still show  considera­
ble  activity  in  completing  their  imperfect 
systems, but in  a  few  years  their  systems 
will be perfected, and then railroad building 
will cease to possess the  importance  in  has 
possessed since the war.

The progress  of  the  South  in  manufac­
tures continues to attract attention in  an  in­
creasing degree,  and this  progress  is  in  no 
department  more  noticeable  than  in  the 
manufacture  of  agricultural 
implements. 
The fact that Georgia made 250,000  ploughs 
last  year is one of the  most  significant  evi­
dences of the  transformation that  is  taking 
place.  The  smaller  farm  and  plantation 
tools are now  made,  to  a  considerable  ex­
tent,  in  eleven  Souther*  states,  and  the 
number of hands employed doubled between 
1870 and 1880.  Within the last  three  years 
the  advance  has  been  mueh  more  rapid, 
owing to the development  of  Southern  iron 
interests. 
In  1880  the  total  number  of 
Southern factories,  where the making of ag-

nounce  that G. A. Ely, one  of  Alba s  mer­

VISITING  BUYERS.

The following retail dealers  have  visited 
the market during the past Week and placed 
orders with the various houses:

dissolved, 

F»  Knox, succeeding.

I. C. Levi, who is llow  in  New  York, is 
not expected home until  the  latter  part of 
February.
Broker Freeman lias opened  an  office  in 
connection with C. W.  Watkins,  under  the 
Old National Bank.
Chas. W. Peck has  returned  from  a  six 
week’s tour of the West in  the  interest  of 
the Grand Rapids Bru sh Co.
Geo. B. Mather started  out  Tuesday  on 
his initial  trip  for  C. S. Yale & Bro.  He 
will travel through southern Michigan.
The Rumsey Lumber Co. has purchased  a 
grocery stook of Cody, Ball & Co., and open­
ed it out at the seat of the  former’s  Inmber- 
ing operations, near Paris.
J. M. Wade & Co., who recently purchased 
a  complete grocery stock at this market,  in­
tending  to  engage in trade at Cadillac, have 
concluded to locate at Luther.
There will be a meeting of  Kellogg,  Saw­
yer &  Co.’s creditors at  Kalamazoo  to-day, 
and  every creditor in this city is  present  in 
person or represented by an  attorney.

B. R.  d’Arcamble,  who has  lately  pur­
chased the  bankrupt  drug  stock  of  Leon 
Kewney at Kalamazoo, was  in town  a  day 
or two ago and completed his stock  at  Haz- 
eltine,  Perkins  & Co.’s.
G. Roys, general traveling agent for L. H. 
Beals & Co., whip  manufacturers  at  West- 
field, Mass., returned from the  East Friday, 
and started out Monday  for  a  trip  through 
Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana.

Dr.  W.  H. Ross left Monday for Chicago, 
where he will  spend  six  weeks,  attending 
the  closing  exercises  of  the  Hahnemann 
Medical College.  H is  accorded  the  privi- 
ledge  of  practicing  among  the  rheumatic 
patients at that institution.
A. J. Holt, for some time  past  connected 
with the Michigan Iron Works Electric Light 
and Power Co.,has gone  to Cleveland, where 
he has accepted a position  with  the  Brush 
Electric Light Co.  He is succeeded here by 
Fred  Holcomb,  late with  Spring  &  Com­
pany.
H. B. Fairchild,  is inclined to the  opinion 
that it is “too thin” for a salesman to  run  a 
needle into his foot for the sake of getting a 
vacation, but Mills replies in the same spirit, 
“you’re  another.”  The  latter  gentleman 
started on  his  southern  trip  Monday,  still 
limping.
The Furman stock was sold on the 17th to 
Frank  H.  Furman,  of  Wellsville,  N.  Y., 
brother of the assignor, for  50  per  cent,  of 
the inventory schedule, which  amounted  to 
$2,707.36.  Out of this sum, however, are to 
come  $250  exemption  and  $130  worth  of 
goods replevied.
If you have  happened  to  notice  Charley 
McConnell, book-keeper for Shields, Bulkley 
& Lemon, skulking through the back streets, 
enveloped in an overcoat three or four times 
too large for him, don’t imagine that he  is a 
charitable individual and  has  bestowed  his 
own garment on some shivering  pauper. 
It 
was taken without leave  by  a  clever  thief, 
and Charley is dependent upon the generosity 
of his brother-in-law until his tailor can turn 
out another beaver.
Fred Spring, junior member of the firm of 
Spring  &  Company,  and  manager  of  the 
wholesale department of the house, died sud­
denly Friday morning, after a  brief  illness. 
The funeral was held  on  Sunday,  and  was 
largely  attended.  Mr.  Spring  was  but  29 
years of age, but he had  already  acquired  a 
wonderful business faculty,  and  his  future 
•  teemed  with  the  brightest  prospects.  He 
leaves a young wife, to whom  he  was  mar­
ried  about  a  year  ago,  and  on  whom,  as 
well as on  his  father,  the  blow  falls  with 
crushing force.

Do  You  Want  a  Delivery  Wagon?

The  Spiral  Spring  buggy  is  universally 
conceded 
to  embody  more  desirable  fear 
tures  than  any  other  vehicle  now  on  the 
market.  The spring is a model of simplicity 
and compactness,  and  will  last  for  years, 
without fear of  breakage.  Aside from  the 
patent* owned by the  company,  the  super­
iority of its workmanship is a matter of com 
mdn acknowledgment.

Advance  in  Tobacco.

We  stated  in  last  week’s  Tradesman 
to- 
that  we  anticipated  an  advance  in 
baccoes,  and  it has  come  a  little  sooner 
than  looked  for.  Peerless  smoking  and 
some of the  different  brands  of  plugs ad­
vanced 2c per pound on the  16th  inst.  We 
will  not  advance  the  price  of  our  cele­
brated  Grayling  Plug  Tobacco  until  com­
pelled 
to  do  so;  but  would  advise  all 
of  our  friends  to  place  their  orders  at 
once,  as we can not tell  when the  advance 
will come.

Hawkins & Perry,

Wholesale Grocers, and 

Proprietors  of 

the 

Grayling Tobaccoes.

Grand  Rapids, Mich.

The  Grocery  Market.

Groceries are doing a little  better and we 
would not be surprised to tee  higher  prices 
on a number of articles in that line.  Loose 
Muscatels are again higher, with no  change 
in Valencias.  Currants  are  higher.  Our 
prophecy on  white  fish  has  already  been 
verified, and there has been  a material  ad­
vance.  They  are  still  a  safe  purchase. 
Adams’ smoking tobaccoes are  all  up  two 
cents—see change in quotations.  There  is 
nothing new to note in  sugars  and  syrups, 
the market on yellew sugars  being  particu­
larly firm.  There is no  let  up  in  coffees. 
Canned goods  are  still  very  quiet. 
It is 
hardly time for much of a stir in  them  yet, 
but it will come, and when it  does  we  look 
for higher prices.  We don’t say “a  boom,” 
but we consider present prices  favorable  to 
the buyer.
