there is any better indication of the rise
in the commercial barometer than the ex-
cellent trade that is flowing in on Davenport &
Treacy Company, we would like to know it. As
a matter of course, they would be the first to
experience an improvement in business, for
their piano plates and hardware stand in the
first rank with the trade.

is no truth in the inspired reports
which are being circulated by certain
papers about the old and firmly established
house of Haines Bros. While they have suffered
in common with every business house from the
prevalent depression, yet the house and its pro-
duct stand to-day as firmly established in the
confidence and esteem of the trade as ever.

can hardly understand the feelings
which prompted some of our music trade
editors to reproduce the sensational articles ap-
pearing in the Herald and other papers regard-
ing a certain individual in the piano trade. Are
they getting even for not receiving an advertise-

and sensational as it pleases, but keep the trade
press clean.
W O N ' T fail to keep your eye on the Popular
G*W* Pease Pianos for the year 1894. With
splendid reputation and a determination to add
many new additions to their popular styles, it
will be well for dealers to keep them in mind.
JE are pleased to report the continued pro-
gress of that enterprising piano making
firm of New York, Muehlfeld & Co. They have
the right mettle in this concern, and they are
moving right straight ahead. Young and pro-
gressive—they have a great future.
Sebastian Sommer Piano Company ad-
vise us that the name on the fallboard of
their piano will henceforth be the full name,
" Sebastian Sommer Piano Co." By doing this
they occupy the correct position ; it places them
in an honest light, and disabuses the public
mind of any intention to mislead.

Sifc> of Foster & Waldo, of Minneapolis, have
secured the agency for the Vose & Sons' piano
for the Northwest. It is their intention to push
and make better known the sterling qualities
of this admirable instrument, and they can
easily do so, for the Vose piano is one of the
most popular and best selling instruments on
the market to-day.
R. HENRY BEHNING, JR., who has
been laid up for some time with an at-
tack of the grip, is, we are glad to say, back at
his old post again, and working as energetically
as ever for the celebrated Behning piano. The
outlook for the Behning concern is extremely
bright, and Mr. Gu^tave Efehning, who is mak-
ing a Western torfr, is meetingSwith much suc-
cess, and th^nome house has receded pleasing
proofs oyK in the shape of substanti3\>rders.
JHE twenty-fifth annual reunion of the el
ployees of Alfred Dolge will be held this
evening in Dolgeville. This is the first year
sij*£the system of profit sharing was inaugur-
ated by Mr. Dolge that the workmen have not
earned something above their wages. It has
been decided to donate the expense of the usual
banquet to the poor, yet it will prove an enjoy-
able occasion, for Mr. Dolge will deliver an ad-
dress and the employees and friends will furnish
entertainment.
MERRILL PIANO COMPANY have
cause for congratulation on the splendid
record their pianos have made for the past twelve
months. They have grown in public favor, and
are attaining a popularity with the trade that
must be pleasing to the house and to all who
deserve to see an instrument possessing excep-
tional merit justly appreciated. The Merrill
piano has a bright future in store for it, and
dealers who are desirous of handling a reliable
instrument should not fail to look it up.
HALLET & DAVIS COMPANY have
every reason to feel proud of their retail
trade in New York. Mr. Wm. F. Tway, mana-
ger of their warerooms, reports increased sales
for last year in comparison with the previous
one. This fortunate condition of affairs is not
confined to New York alone, for all through the
country Hallet & Davis is experiencing a veri-
table boom ; and this is due not so much to the
very capable salesmen as to the instrument itself.
The Hallet & Davis piano is making a legion of
friends wherever sold, and from the present out-
look the present year will witness a further in-
crease in the popularity of the product of this
celebrated house.
$R0M Washington we learn the following
concerning issues of patents : The Com-
missioner of Patents believes that there has been
a large amount of negligence on the part of the
examiners in.the granting of patents which
actually embraced no new inventions, and that
there has been considerable looseness in the
methods of some of the examiners in deciding
claims. An overhauling of the patent system is
now in progress, and the Commissioner, Mr.
Seymour, is making a rigid investigation. The
comparatively large number of recent judicial
decisions declaring various patents invalid, it
appears, has proved a source of much annoyance
to the Commissioner.
