THE• HURON EXPOSITOR,.
The Outlook for Ratillets
What is the business outielek
We think it an est -tinging one.
Th' e degrade_
m trade has lasted be-
tween fear -dna fiveyears, and it has
extenreed to neatly every country with
s-aueich we have commercial relations.
'We have suffered in eommon with the
• rest of the globe,. in • our shipping, our
exports and the volume of our trade
has of • course been affeeted injuri-
ously.
It is important to bear in raindwheie
the .financial disturbance had. its engin
and how it gredtially extended. It be-
gan in, Austria With the panic in Vi-
enna in. May, 1873, and neat extended
to Germany. In the following Septate7
ber it showed itself in • the United
States,- when the well-remerabered
-Black Friday carried. Jay Cooke & Co.
and thirty .other Wall street firms into
financial ruin. And in November of
the same year the disaster had spread -
to Gteat Britain; the Bank of Eng-
land reserve of bill:lion fell • £1,000,000
in a month,. i.e., from L13,346 to £7,7
861,000eand. the rate of discount- was
-raised to eight per cent. The depres-
sion was traceable to the stoPpage of
production and the waste of capital of
the Franco-German war; to the stinii-
lus given to ship -building by the uez
Canal; and to excessive railway. b • d-:
iag and speculation in Russia and the
United States; added. to the spec a -
tion in Germany and Austria born of
the payment of the French indemnity.
Nor was Canada exempt from the g. n-
eral fault; we, too,had been ov r -
trading ovealtuild over -buying.
" Times were goodn—too -good, and we
grew indolent, extravagant and care-
less.. Having violated 'economic. laws,
we had to pay the penalty. .
Butthe civilized world .has been:
making amends for this period of in-
flation; and the past few years have
been devoted 'by many nations to as-
siduous labor, to retrenehment,• and, to
thrift. It is pointed out by a London
journal, thet the accuMulation ; of new
capital in France, asevidenced' by the;
Succdesion Duties, is Proceeding at an
extraOrdinery rate, and • she is now
richer than she -vitas before the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine. " Geimasay has re-
covered from her military intoxication,
and is calmly plodding .away as of old.
Austria, Magary and Italy have also
got over Mir worst - difficulties. Aad.
although the United. Stales have still
to effect resumption, the retrenchment
and economy of the past five years
-have made up foricirmer extravagance."
-Production, which in many lines of man-
ufectures was too great for any -normal
rate of -consumption, has been vastly
reduced, at the sacrifice,' it is true, of
an eilormous sum of money sunk, in
Europe and the 'United States, in, eia
terprises in excess of natural require-
ments, and prompted by greed or waste.
There is a tarn for the better in
manufactures abroad. Advices ..frora
Leeds last niontheiletaite an increase of
confidence,' and an improvement in
tone amongst the woollen branches. In
Manchester, prices, which during the
peat year had gone ruinoutly down,
were being everywhere raieed, and cot-
tonswere actually strong. From Liver-
- pool. and other ports we learn that,
'partly by reason of the conclusion of
the Peace Conference, shippers report
more • activity, freights are improving
slowly, and a more hopeful tone per-
vades business generally. In the
United -States, -apart from the present
yellow fever -penic in Southern cities:,
and the: recent steea,m of insolvencies
occasioned by the cessation of . the
bankrupt hew,therehas been, as we
pointed out last week, a • steady im-
provement in the banking exchanges iir
al:nines, coal and iron excepted. And
we are of opinion that the improve-
ment ht business has. reached. -Canada.
Our affairs are for the most part in a
healthier shape; we are living on less,
-buying With more care, .andeseiliug with
a.greet deal more caution and with less
latitude, 'conditions -which must assist to .restoro COnfidence in mercantile
circles.
• We- enema hope to find the evidence
of reviviug trade in Canada in.. .swelling
-figures of exports and imports as
-pared -with termer years., or greatly in-
creased. stiles or purehases or revenue
returns., It must be remembered that
the shrinkage in wattles is of itself
enough to reduce the figures of our in-
terne' trade to a very great degree.
Tweoty-five per cent, is perhaps not.
extreme estimate of this.. shrinkage, and
some niece it at thirty per cent.; t75,-
• 000 will buy to -day the same quantity
of goods whioh cost peel:nips 3,..00,000 in
1876 or 1877, so that a smaller. amount
Of money does not necessarily mean
&ballet trade. -
We consider the outlook better,prin-
cipally because of the improved condi-
tions under which' much -.of our busi-
ness will be done. Oteclit is net so be
able to the Sa1110 /01120, being curtailed
both at to time and amount.. There is
a perceptible movement in the direction
of cash trade, and although -we may
not buy so inuch, we are bettor able to
pay for what we do buy. We have
learned to practice •economy, and to live
more within our proper income. • Com-
petition will he less violent, and busi-
ness will .be done - at less expense.
Stocks of merchandise are snialler the.
country over; and while retailers are
determined . not to.. --he saddled with
superiluout gootit, wholesale ;men are
• more cautious in selling their wares ;
witnees the movenieut amongst Mou-
. treal merchants-, mentioned elsewhere,
towards limiting credits and preventing
oyer stocking—we should like to be able
to add, dating ahead as tvell. The
over -trading of previous years. is not to
be eaten, therefore,as a Measure pf our
•transitetions ; the paving quality of
what business we undertake ismore
likely to regulate its extent.' •
Tli;lt the '..times are improV in g- s' may
thus b takeo to mean that our methods
are btiftig rectified, andour euterptises
being tette:Ate-I. to oue needs, rether than
that we, &re baying largely or increasing
the. solume of our trausactious. Con-
sumption has lioeu ereatly reduced;
and we cannot expect' to sell goods at

.1Ve have te good, though not abun-
dant, en I), and are likely to teoure.good
prices' for much of it. Barley is eot s.
good crop in the States, brewers and
inalsteia there have no coosiderable
stock on hand, sued their Jack inust
naturally benefit us in our enlicuiced
price; $1 per bushel has already beeu
paid on the Bay of Qinute, and $1.25 is
spoken of as the opening price at
Oswego. Fall wheat, so tar as we can
learn, i. an iiverage yield; the in-
creased acreage sown and the rich re-
turn in the ncirth-weatern counties of
Ontario lvffl go- far te .compensate for
the lack in other districts and tire dam -
se
age done by late storms.
Springewheat is :generally acknow-
ledged. to he poor, but we have an
abundance of oats and. hay, and coarser
grades have yielded handsomely, while
roots will likely be abundant. The
fruit crop, too, is satisfactory generally.
Of timber, it cannot be said that ac-
tivity is present or even in near pros-
pect. Old world markets are still full
- and dull, an nces low, and we are in-
formed. that ruoli of the stock now in
Quebec will h ve to be held ova yet
another win . This, it must be con-
fessed, is a blot in the picture, for it
means a dearth of employment to a
'large class of our people, and: a heavy
lock up of capital for the banks.. I Lurci-
ber, while it does not Maintain the ac-
tivity which it manifested for a while
in'the spring, iststiffening a little in the
Eastern markets: Business in that
branch has fallen off in the States, and.
while inactive there it cannot be, in
any large sense; vigorous here. A fair
demand is ;looked for, however, this
fall, as we learn from late Boston and
Albany advices.
If we send fewer horses, sheep and.
cattle to the United States, our export
of cattle to Great Britain has become
an important interest. Its aggregate is
not yet great, but it is active and grow-
ing, and its. success has given a spur to
grazing and to breeding in the Eastern
townships of Quebec and in central On-
tario, which must bring abOut excellent
results to our agricultural population.
In dairy produce we have a large and
gratifying ;export trade ; our cheese his
a reputation of its own in which we
may take just pride, while impeaved
methods and the factory system, which
is slowly spreading, promise to do m-ucia
for Canadian butter. Here, surely, are
grounds for .our opinion that the out-
look is encouraging.
In the Maritime Provinces; it is true,
shippingis still comparatively languid,
,I,
the coal trade not to Say active, and
the fish ries only moderately produc-
tive, but their crops are good, and their
severe mercantile reverse's have had the
effect of placing business upon a
healthier basis said of creating hope for
a so -under and more remunerative
trade. I .
If some manufacturers, disheartened
by redueed demand, .or by American
competition, can find no ground ., for
thankfulnas, but look to Governmental
aid as the only panacea for depression
in their particular branches, we would
remind them that they are 'suffering
only in ' common With manufacturets
the ,worl'l over. Too much production
in particular branches, and extravagant
consumption, was the cause of the in-
dustrial difficulties in Britaiii and the
United. States. As trade revives in the
States, and prod.uetion theresettles to
a normal level, • we may look for
slaughter stocks to cease, and for their
profits to improve.
.
We have much to be thankful for, in
the . hicreased paying .power of the
country by another good crop. And if,
at the same tithe, we respond to the
-bounty of Providence by thrift and
economy, the prosperous times which
each one hopes for will be helped for-
ward, and 1882 may see us as busy a
people, and as outwardly ilourishingas
in that delusive time ten years earlier,
with a much more slid basis for our
prosperi y.—Toronto Trade Review.
l
liousehold: Carest
If th.ev
ote of -Women could he taken
on the question of housekeeping,it would
be a matter of great surprise -to men to
learn the result. The business as it is
cond.ucted a,t present would he voted out
of existence, or, failing in that, the voice
of the majority would he for boarding.
The work of the -household has increas-
ed greatly within a quarte of. a century,
and the servant of the period. is -not an
improvement upon the typical one of the
past. The luxuries Which one by one
have 'come to women, the multitudinous
things that are required to make homes
-attractive, and the Modern houses that
have their mountainous . stairs to Weary
weak baelts, are all things which have
combined to make housekeeping a
drudgery. . Time and strength are con-
sumed while. the routine work is being
performed, and the intelligent minds of
American women rebel constantly.
;What can be done? Break up homes,
-ancl live ,in those modern caravansaries
—hotels? Not so. The remedy lies in
simplifyino home lifo • in leaving out of
houses the endless traps that are hard.
to keep eleaat, and harder still to make,
and by putting in homes nothing too -good
for .ha.rd usage.
. Women need to know so much that
they do not know, and cannot while they
worry and fret over lambrequins and
pillow -shams, tidies and Hamburgh bor-
ders on clothing that it is discoura,giug
to try to fight the matter at all. They
are tryiug to do their best, workiug early
and late, saving here and. spending there
judiciously iethey hope, yet never real-
izing any blessing for themselves or
others. -.What is a nice parlor or a fine
dinner to aVisitor if the hostess is
dull,' worn-out person? The guest whci
is bidden enjoy such hospitality- is
cheated out of hater company at borne
and deserves an apology rather than
-offer thenks for such attentions as are
'extended. Housewives do not emanci-
pate themselves from the .thraldom put
ou them by a variety of conditions. In
the -first place, their homes are , not
adapted to housekeeping. Men and not
women plan houses, and the sole idea in
building them is to get the largest uum-
tier onthe smallest possible space. Then
women having • inconveniences of this
kind to start with Make every effort to
overoo me them by fu ru shiags . Fashion
has to be consulted in this latter matter,
and. upholstered articles that get soiled
and fade out aro bought when the fam-
ily puree cannot afford it. Nice china
or glass is purchased 'when ignorant or
careless help will make quick work of it;
and the company rooms, are furnished as
richly as possible, when in fact the so-
cial circle -in which the familsemoves is
Si) limited that a sitting -room would an-
swer every purpose. If cheap carpets
and stoneware and plain clothing should
be fashionable for all people, how soon
the burdens would drop away from the
shoulders ef the majority of the house-
keepers. How soon t'vould the fault-
finding and the cumplkining cease and
the dull women become intelligent,
terested members of the family circle..
Suppose the pillow cases had no shams;
it would be all the better for the home -
life of a tames. Shams 'should be un-
known in them in any way,. and
real pi ow -cases would. give snore satis-
faction Then FDtind common sense
should aVe women from wasting time.
on rufflea and fallals that add nothing
but wrilakles to all brows. Households,
as thy are now, seem to be ran for the
benefit of lookers-on rather than the
comfo4 of the inmates,and the result is
a gene4Uy dissatisfied army of house-'
keeper . It is not amazing that they
are clis atisfied, for that argues appreci-
ation f uncongenial work, and. those
who arp alive to the fact that their tasks
hurt t eixi in a spiritual sense have one
hope of saving themselves. Simplify
life — maplif; life; this is the way
throng which women may hope to rise
to an e tate wherein they will find them-
selves serene and patient, honest aaag
tree. It were worth all of life to live if
the best half of humanity could be lifted
out of 4lrudgery of a domestic kind and
placed wbere th; home would be what
the Di ine Poweitdesigned it should be
a temp e where
".Sin and evils cease,
And orn).y rest and peace
Continually are found."

Concerfflrig Crape.
The ma,nufacti‘re and finish, or in
-other ords, the production of no tex-
ttile fal ric is so jealously guarded and
shrou ed in mysteay as that of crape.
'A few ears since a most excited en-
quiry as aroused as to the material of
which it was made, in consequence' of
suits la -Ought against the Government
for asi reclamation of duties, during
which 'time stupendous frauds in the
enter+ of crape at the Custom House
at this, -port provoked the discussion. to
a red-hot temperature. At that time,
so little was known of the chazacter of
the ra material, so thoroughly changed
by the treatment necessary to prepare
the fa. ric for market, that one of the
oldest mporting merchants testified in
court, " that he had klways supposed
that crape was made of worsted,"—
a very natural error when we con-
sider ow wiry and unsilky it feels and
appea s.
TheE facts, however, show very differ-
ently. J Crape is of two kinds: first,
Cantoek or Oriental soft crape, and sec-
ond, 1arci, crispy and crimped crape.
The fojrmer being confined to the Orien-
tal an adjacent markets, out remarks
will b confinei to the latter. -
- The hard, wiry and crimped crape,
used or mourning purposes in this
Lemke , is made from thefinest Italian
hand -run silk, woven in a peculier
mann r- and treeted. by various mechan-
ical and chemical operations—the na-
ture ot Which is sucli a profound secret
—that its manufacture calls into play
an un • ing patience and the highest or-
der of killed labor.
Of tJie various stages of manufacture
not ev n the "indefatigable interview-
er" of the present decade has been able
to get he least idea, as every process
from t e ordinary silk cloth to comple-
tion: is so guarded and shrouded in mys-
tery ti at to a very few has the final pro-
cess pf " crimping" been comminicated
or bec me lmown.
Orae is sometimes made of cotton,
as is d ne in Manchester, England, in
which instance it bears the designation
of V aerie" crape. Most conspicu-
ous as manufacturers of crape is the
Engiisi house of Courtaulds, whose
proclu t is unequalled for beauty of fin-
ish an4l. superior qualities. --117. Y. Jour-

It is not "to sweep the houses make

that 1man chiefly Wants' a wife. If
this is all he needs; servants can do
it mor cheaply than e wife. If this is
all, w en a young man calls to 'see a

the brad and cake she has made, send
him ti inspect the needlework and bed
=kin , or put a broom into her hands,
and se • d him to witness its use. Such
things are important, and the wise
young man will look after • tliena. But
what- he true man wants is eonapan-

of life has many drearyplaces in it,and
man nleeds a companion to accompany
him. tA man is sometimes overtaken
by mi. fortune ; he meets with failure
and. d feat ; trial and temptations beset
him; and he needs some one to stand
by hini and sympathize. He has some
hard attles to fight with poverty, ene-

o w11 help him to fight—Who will
put hr slips to his ear and whisper
words of counsel, and her hand to his
