THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
Max Spicker Endorses the
"Steck."
Geo. Bothner Returns.
FA). BOTHNER, SR., the veteran ac-
tion manufacturer, returned last week
from a lengthy European trip, which, with
Mrs. Bothner, he thoroughly enjoyed. His
health, which was not of the best, has been
restored, and he feels like a new man and
never better prepared to interest himself in
the business which has been so ably man-
aged during his absence by his progressive
son, Geo. Bothner, Jr.
Manufacturers
who use the Bothner action speak highly of
it, and the "proof of the pudding" is the
surprisingly large number of orders which
they have received within the last six
weeks.

T
HE officials of the Customs Service
have made an important change in
the regulations governing what is known
as immediate transportation goods. Un-
der the law goods intended for certain inte-
rior ports of the United States may be
billed and sent to their destination without
examination at the port of arrival. Under
the new regulations the importer may
change the destination of the goods from
one interior port to another on reaching the
port of arrival. This regulation gives the
importer the advantage of any favorable
change in the several markets of the coun-
trv.

business with their organs. In fact, the
business has exceeded expectations, and
during the past week Newman Bros, have
been in receipt of orders by cable for sev-
eral of their special styles as well as a du-
plication of instruments forwarded to Lon-
don some time since.
If pianos were tuned more frequently

from a very satisfactory trip in the

a number of new agencies in Pennsylvania,

popular instruments of the day. It pells—

M. TONK & BRO., 26 Warren street,
agents in the United States for the
Chevrel-Marquetry, have favored us with a
colored plate illustrating the chaste designs
and graceful outlines of the artistic panels
of this house, which have commanded such
favorable notice from piano manufacturers.
These three illustrations give an excellent
idea, both in color and artistic effects, of
the Chevrel panels, and they cannot fail to
achieve the end which the Tonk house had
in view when they conceived this clever
specimen of lithography.
