The Huron Expositor, 1878-09-20, Page 6LEY, 6 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 profusely as before; speculation has been elle.eked, -and people will not make the venture they used to do; capital is More cautious, and less real estate is hauds. . .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.
