The furniture dealers are having a very
fair trade for the dull months. Trade in
rustic, seaside and cottage furniture has been
good, but some of the profits are less than
last year. People are beginning to see the
foolishness of paving from 81 to Sc for a
chair not worth 81, simply because it is rustic
or old style. Then again, such furniture is
now turned out by the carload where a dozen
pieces were made three or four years ago,
and the price of basket-bottomed, old
fashioned chairs is now being reduced to
their real value by competition. Prices of
most kinds of furniture are shade higher
than last year. This is generally owing to
the advance in black walnut lumber. \
grade of this lumber suitable for furni-
ture, costing 800 last year, is firm at
500 now, but furniture dealers find consider
able difficulty in convincing customers that
they are not being jewed by an advance in
prices. Take, for instance, black walnut ex-
tension tables. Nothing but the best of
black walnut answers for them, and manu-
facturers find themselves obliged to ask
Sl.25 per foot for such tables, where they
were but 81 year ago. The same is also
true of chairs, chamber suits and other furni-
ture in black walnut

of sin will be discounted, have no doubt.

The farmers lot is not a happy one, this
year. Last week, bad hay weather prevailed
during the entire seven days. Sunday was
fair hay day. and large amount of hay was
opened and got in, it being considered work
of necessity by the agriculturists. Monday
was lowery, and in the afternoon violent
showers accompanied by thunder and light
ming swept over the State. Rain fell all night,
and yesterday was rainy and uncomfortable.
An immense amount of hay was exposed to
the rain, and the storm will entail loss OF
many thousand dollars upon the farmers OF
