-» CARPETS. {<-
The Carpets made by this Company have reeeived the highest award wherever exhibited,
incUiding Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BBGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD EBOM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE SITUATION.
" I ^HE mills are running fairly well on orders and the de-
' mand for goods is especially large in the West and
Southwest. In New England trade is not particularly
active, and in Massachusetts the strike of cotton mill
operatives and general depression in the cotton industry
are exercising a somewhat discouraging effect upon all
branches of business. But whatever may be the result
of the strike, the general revival of business in other parts
of the country is certain to reach New England also.
The fact that tiiis revival is now in progress is shown by
many unmistakable signs of the times, one of them being
the practically unanimous statements to this effect by
members of the National Association of Manufacturers
during their recent convention in this city. As all dealers
in floor coverings are aware, an improvement in general
business invariably has a stimulating effect upon the de-
mand for their goods.
Prices continue to show an advancing tendency. A
conference of leading manufacturers of Ingrains was held at
Philadelphia recently to consider the question of a further
advance in prices, and although no decisive action was
taken, there is no doubt that it will not be much longer
delayed.
The stocks bought by jobbers at the sales last Novem-
ber are being distributed rapidly, and the jobbers will
therefore soon be obliged to advance prices in proportion
to the increased cost of manufacturing the goods.
THE CHINA MATTING MARKET.
ARNHOLU, Karberg & Co. , in their circular dated Hong
Kong and Canton, December 15, refer to the China
matting market as follows:
A considerable advance in prices for most qualities has lately
taken place, which is mainly due to the large demand that is ex-
pected from the United States. Offers for shipments during next
October and Novemberare scarcely obtainable and prices asked by
the Chinese are even higher than those quoted above. Of Cochin
China matting no offers are obtainable, as manufacturers are still
uncertain about the duty that will probably be imposed in Cochin
China on matting from the beginning of next year.
Shewan, Tomes & Co., in their circular dated Canton,
December 14, say:
Several new orders have been received since our last advices and
the market is strong. No fresh settlements are reparted, as only
April-May delivery can be obtained, and dealers not wishing to run
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
any risk are quoting high prici s. An all round increase in prices is
maintained and a further rise may be expected. Contracts remain
at 230,000 rolls.
CRIPPLING THE POSTAL SERVICE.
THE announcement that the Post Office Department
intended to discharge a large number of the letter
carriers of this city on account of a deficiency in the appro-
priation for the postal service has naturally aroused great
indignation. Two large meetings of citizens have been
held recently to protest against the crippling of the mail
service which would necessarily follow such a reduction
of the working force. This proposed interference with
our postal service is particularly outrageous in view of the
vast commercial importance of our city and the immense
amount of money it contributes to the revenues of the Post
Office Department.
The responsibility for this piece of cheese-paring
economy lies of course with Congress, which, while refus-
ing to make the appropriations necessary for the postal
service, insists upon wasting many millions of dollars in
the transportation at second-class rates of a great amount
of mail matter which is not rightly entitled to this privi-
lege. A bill to remedy this evil was introduced at the last
session of Congress, but was opposed by a number of cross-
roads representatives, who succeeded in sidetracking it for
that session. It will be brought up again, and if passed —
which seems probable now — the Government will then
have a revenue sufficient to meet all the legitimate de-
mands of a proper postal service.
Exports of carpeting and kindred goods from the port
of New York during the past four weeks were as follows:
Carpeting — Glasgow, 210 bs , $12,143; Liverpool, 96
bs., $2,340; London, 32 bs,, $1,642; Genoa, 19 bs., $559.
Carpet Sweepers — Southampton, 160 cs. , $2,800; Ham-
burg. 33 cs., $279; Rotterdam, 6 cs., $100; Antwerp, 2
cs., $19; Hull, 1 cs., $12.
James L. Kingston, who invented about seven years
ago the " Kingston Invisible Rug Fastener," has recently
brought out an important improvement on his original
device which makes it absolutely perfect for its purpose.
It is called the " Kingston Self-Adjusting Fastener" and
is sold by the Kingston Rug Fastener Company, 564
Washington street, Boston. Write to them for further
particulars.
John Early, the well-known Eighth avenue carpet
dealer, elsewhere offers his business for sale. It is a good
opportunity for some man who wishes to take a well es-
tablished and steadily successful plant. John Early
started it about thirty years ago. That was two years
after he came to this country. He was, as he says, a
greenhorn, and had only $100 capital. But he was one of
those far-downers who have contributed so much to the
success not only of the carpet but of all other branches of
business in this country. John says that when he retires
he is going across the water to take a rest jvith ' ' the
boys."
APPRAISERS' DECISION REVERSED.
IN the case of W. & J. Sloane against the United States,
which was tried in the United States Circuit Court
last December, the merchandise in question consisted of
"wool Dutch carpet " classified as " worsted chain Vene-
tian carpeting," at 12 cents per square yard and 30 per
cent, ad valorem, under paragraph 374 of the tariff act
of March 3, 1883. The importers protested, claiming the
merchandise to be dutiable at 40 per cent, ad valorem as
carpets or carpeting of wool under paragraph 378 of said
act.
On the trial of this case it was shown that the article in
suit was composed entirely of wool threads and contained
no worsted whatever, but was a so-called " durrie," being
a wool carpet with plain filling, and that it was in no sense
"worsted chain Venetian carpeting." A verdict was
rendered in favor of the importers, and the Treasury De-
partment has recently directed the appraisers to accept
this decision.

Samuel Hecht, Jr., & Sons' samples of straw matting
of their own importation for the season of 1898 are now

At a meeting of the corporation of W. & J. Sloane on
the 36th ult., all the officers of the company were re-
elected as follows : President, John Sloane; vice-president,
W. W. Law; treasurer, Henry T. Sloane; secretary,
George McNeir. William Sloane (son of John Sloane)
was added to the board of directors.
Richard P. Messiter, piesident of the New York Credit
Men's Association, has addressed a circular letter to all
banks, corporations and other business houses in this city,
inviting all those not already members of the association
to become so, to the end that the work of the association
may be more thoroughly extended and made more com-
plete and consequently of greater benefit to the whole
commercial community.
Yardum Brothers have removed to the handsome new
building 594 and 596 Broadway, where they have one of
the most beautiful salesrooms of the kind in the world.
The Damascus art ware department is the latest addition
to the business, and will include Damascus draperies, cur-
tains, carved and inlaid furniture, embroideries, scarfs,
cushions, &c. It will be under the management of An-
toine Dommar, a native of Damascus, and well known to
many American buyers. Photograph of articles in the
stock will be sent on application.
The offices, salesrooms and lofts for rental in the Hart-
ford Building, Broadway and Seventeenth street, are
especially suitable for carpet and upholstery goods, manu-
facturers and jobbers, a fact which has been promptly
recognized, for a large number of leading concerns in these
trades can now be found in this building. Any firm
that is looking for new quarters is advised to note the
special advantages of the Hartford Building in its 175 feet
of north light, passenger and freight elevators, and other
up-to-date features. See the advertisement on page 34 of
this issue.

of 3-4 carpeting necessary to cover rooms of various sizes,
ranging from 9x9 to 31x31 feet.
The Aldine Club and the Uptown Association are to be
