One feature of the trade of J. W. York & Sons
is the call for instruments by soloists, which in-

One of the Many Reasons Why the Schindler
Product Has Grown in Popularity.
A violincello was knocked down at a recent auc-
tion sale in London for $1,800. It was by Nicholas
Gagliano. made in 1761, after a Stradivarius model,

made by Guadagnini, was sold for $875. Among
the violins sold was a Stradivarius, with two silver
mounted bows, which brought $2,000.

Large assortments of Weiss harmonicas and

New York. These shipments will continue for a
couple of months yet, so as to complete a stock
sufficient to cater to the demands of fall trade.
Something new and novel in the harmonica line
is now being perfected by the Weiss house, which
it is expected will create quite a sensation in the

probably will be during the coming fall season.
No o#ier specialty made by the Weiss house has
hitherto equaled the "Fluta" in popularity; the
demand continues to exceed the supply and every-
