THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
MR. H. D. CABLE of the Chicago Cottage Or-
gan Co., who recently returned from a Southern
trip, reports a marked improvement in general
business down South. He says the prospects
for the Spring are decidedly bright.
The G. W. CORNWALL CO., organ manufac-
turers, Huntington, Que., whose failure was
brought about by the Somerville failure, show in
their statement of affairs, liabilities of $45,160
and assets $46,586.
THE Will A. Watkin Music Co., of Dallas,
Tex., are one of the go-ahead firms of that city.
They report an excellent trade with the Newby
& Evans pianos and the Hillstrom organs. In
attractive little leaflets they have quoted critical
opinions of these instruments which appeared
recently in the columns of this paper, and are
circulating them very largely throughout the
state. This enterprise cannot fail to bring
them business and add materially to the popu-
larity of Newby & Evans pianos and Hillstrom
organs.

nearly eighteen feet in circumference. Its height
was eighty six feet. The age of the tree, ac-
cording to tradition and close calculation was
nearly three hundred years. Col. Noyes intends
to sell the tree, which he thinks is worth over
four hundred dollars."
