This catalogue will be found very handy
to dealers, who will doubtless be anxious to
give the new style Prescott pianos a trial.
In referring to the changes made and the
reduction in the number of styles, the Pres-
cott Piano Co. say: "We have succeeded
not only in embodying in each piano all
the attractive qualities of the former styles,
but also in adding other important improve-
ments."

For the Extension of South
American Trade.
HE Engineering and Mining Journal
says: "Our commercial contempo-
raries report that a movement is on foot
among the export houses in New York who
are engaged in trade with Central and
South American countries to form an or-
ganization for the purpose of increasing
their trade as much as possible. To this
end they propose to incorporate a company
in which all the houses shall have a repre-
sentation. Without abandoning the indi-
vidual conduct of their business, they will
intrust to this company the work of dealing
with steamship and transportation lines to
secure favorable rates, and of employing
experienced travelers familiar with the
language and customs of the different coun-
tries to represent them abroad. This is the
plan adopted by many of the German
manufacturers in several cases, and it is
said to be working remarkably well. Some
of our manufacturers who are desiroxis of
extending their trade abroad would per-
haps do well to consider this example."

THE new "Packard" piano to be manu-
factured by the Ft. Wayne Organ Co., will
be ready for the market about the end of
August.
FREEHORN G. SMITH, the well-known
manufacturer of the Bradbury piano, was
confined to his home all last week with a
severe cold. We are glad to say he is up

in his varied industries.
