Mr.. Horst Won Keckri,z, the gentle,
manly and accommodating prescription
clerk at Nadler's Fourth Avenue drug
store for the past six years. no longer oc-
cupies the relation of employe to the
house. He is now proprietor of the es,
adjustment. This morning Mr.. Won
koeckritz purchased the store, stock and
fixtures of Mr.. Nader, who as heretofore
stated has determined to remove to Dav.
export, where he will continue to carry on
the drug business on larger scale and
also conduct his extract business. Mr..
Won Koeckriiz, who succeeds to Mr.
Nadlers well established business here. is
thoroughly equipped to conduct il on the
same prosperous basis that has Mr.. Mad
Ter. Not only has he the advantage of
six years active experience with Mr. Mad
Ter, but he had several years training in
Davenport. and is also a registered phar.

corset factory a. Bridgeport. Conn.

SoAsSs AoS'oiJ ~ oiuScpoits Sunus
says:
The cheaper grades of corsets will not
for the present be materially affected BY
the tariff. All materials of which they
are constructed, except hornstrips and
laces, are made in this country. The
hornstrips remain free, the same as in
the old tariff. The duty on lace is in
creased from 40 to so per cent, but this
will not add more than 3 or 4 cents q
dozen to the cheaper grades OF corsets
1t is probable. however, that the tariff
will increase the general expense of liv-
ing by increasing the cost of so many ar
ticles OF daily necessity. This will in
crease the cost of domestic materials and
so will eventually increase the cost of
cheaper grades of corsets.
The price of imported corsets will be
materially increased by the new tariff. as
the duty is increased from 35 to 50 per
cent. This will add about so cents to the
retail price of corsets which now sell for
S3. II will also very likely lead TO the
manufacture of some of the imported
brands in this country. If so, it will give
TO our corset manufacturers much more
troublesome competition than the same
goods imported from the other side.
The increased duty on lace is entirely
uncalled for, as none is made in this coun-
try, and there is no indication that it will
be made even under the increased protec-
ton. The public, however. suffer most
from the duties of As per cent upon inn
ported coutil. This is made by special
process, the yarn being bl.ached before it
is woven, so that the goods are ready for
the market as they come from the loom
Ii is not made in this country for the
reason that it requires mill to be es-
pecially fitted up for these goods, and the
sale is not large enough to Justify the ex
pense. The coutil is very soft and
durable cloth and is better adapted to the
manufacture OF corsets than any other
material 1t is very largely used abroad,
but has been almost excluded from this
market because of the high duty
A lower rate of duty which would per-
NIT its free importation into this country
woul very soon create such a demand
Tor 1t that it might be made here, where's
rs the high duty has the contrary effect

Mr. Robert Macdonald, New York
importer, says:
MIR. John Clafir. over his own sigma
ture, states that ~ Oolen mills have been
Improbable for some years" Will he be
good enough to explain how, with the
highest tariff wooden manufactures have
ever enjoyed in the history of the coun-
try, amounting to about 80 per cent, an
additional increase of 10 per cent on the
cost of the manu- fractured goods To the
public, and an additional cost of fully
that amount in wool itself, is going to
bring about prosperity for the next few
years to all the wooden interests con
cernedr II 80 PEI cent didn't do 1t, will
he be good enough to inform us how 80
per cent is gong to do it7 IL appears to
those who look on from the standpoint of
common sense that if goods cost more
than formerly the less quantity is bought,
resulting in disaster and loss to the mills
only accelerated in speed
Will Mr.. John S.Oane also explain how
the thousands of idle workmen whom he
writes about as being unable to find any
employment in the carpet manufacturing
establishments for several years past with
d u,
are going to find instant employment
with an additional cost of 10 or 10 per
cent added to the carpets? Carpet trusts
are busy arranging to lock up half of the
mills now existing. If so or 55 per cent
tariff didn't bring prosperity, an inquir-
ing public wishes to know how an in
creased cost of 10 per cent or Is per cent
is going to do il and what is the proper
| line of demarcation in the tariff between
| prosperity and disaster.
Will MIR. F. B. Thurber explain his re-
mark. that in consequence of the duty on
tin plates, canned goods will not be seri-
ously affected, except imported goods, "
on which he says rebate is to be given
| Does he not mean to say except exported

view To open heads for the trees. \
"brushy" tree yields very little good
fruit. We believe that three main
branches are better than more; but the
system of pruning must be modified,
according to the habit and growth Of
each variety.
When our crop has maturcd upon the
