"Glad to see you," said Mr. J. H. Hidley, the
Albany music dealer, to a representative of THE
MUSICAL, CBITIC AND TRADE REVIEW, "why don't I
get your paper?"
"Are you a subscriber, Mr. Hidley?"
"No," said Mr. H., "but I get Freund's paper
and all the other musical papers for nothing."
"Then you are paying what they are worth,"
said our representative. "THE MUSICAL CRITIC AND
TRADE REVIEW costs two dollars per annum in ad-
vance, and if you do not subscribe you cannot re-
ceive it, as a matter of course. This paper is run
on business principles,like every business, and can-
not give its property away for nothing."

"We sell organs from $45 to $1,000, the cheaper

Mr. George Lyon, of Lyon & Healy, Chicago,
was in town last week buying up one of the larg-
est stocks of pianos that have been bought in a
long time.
Mr. Theodore Steinway, the head of the con-
struction department of the house of Steinway &
Sons, has returned from his European tour,looking
well and hearty. Mr. Theodore Steinway is as able
in his department as Mr. William Steinway is in
the business and finance department.
Friedrieh Brothers, music dealers, Grand Rapids,
Mich., are agents for the Weber, Fischer, Kranich
& Bach pianos, and the Estey, Chase, Taylor &
Farley organs. Mr. Otto D. T. Friedrieh was in
town last week preparing to sell the Sterling organ,
which h« looks upon with great favor.
C. C. Briggs & Co., of Boston, Mass., are report-
ing great activity in the trade. They state that
there never has been such a busy season as far as
their business is concerned,considering the^time of
the year. They are now shipping the "Briggs"
piano to all sections of the country and are kept
busy all the time filling orders. New agencies are
rajDidly supplied, and Mr. Woodman, who is a
great part of the time on the road, is bringing in
additional orders to those that are received by
mail or otherwise. C. C. Briggs & Co. is a flour-
ishing piano house.
Mr. George L. Walker, Philadelphia, piano
dealer, denies the report that an attachment has
bean issued against him, on the contrary, he says he
is doing a large and constantly increasing business.
Mr. Alexander Steinert having been admitted as
a member of the firm, it will in the future be
known as Steinert & Sons, New Haven, Conn.
There will be a New York office of E. P. Car-
penter, Worcester, Mass., located at No. 7 West
Fourteenth street.
Mr. R. Webber, representing Wm. Knabe &
Co., is now on the road on his way Westward.
He states that trade is very flourishing and that
the firm is very busy, especially taking into con-
sideration the season of the year.
L. A. Baker, Lansing, Mich., music dealer, is
reported to have assigned to James J. Mead. Lia-
bilities, $4,000; assets, $2,000.
Washington C. Kautner, Reading, Pa., has pat-
ented a reed-organ stop action. Application filed
October 25, 1881. Number of patent, 252,674.
Notwithstanding rumors to the contrary, Messrs.
Nordheimer & Co., of Canada, will not engage in
the piano manufacturing business—at least, not
immediately.

T^HE trade in Nashville for the past year has
JL been very good, although principally in cheap
pianos. Brass and stringed instruments have had
a good sale. We note there one failure, that of H.
L. B. Sheetz, one of our most prominent dealers.
The outlook for the present year is very encourag-
ing, and should we have a good crop-year, music
dealers will have a brisk trade.
