have scarcely any appreciate effect on in. prkv. It k found that scnr.elr a,y Wdera can be placed with outoide manufacturers who an not under the control of tbe America Ax and Tool O: The trade will do well to note the changed oadition in this line of goods as regards tbe higher prices now rt liuj?. and the strong probability of the.r maintenance for some time to come. On first quality good an advance h? now made of L"S tori 2 per doacn." This alva iee Has been well maintained, l&efore the trust was formed plain axes of tha bast brands were selling at per dosaa. They now sell at ST per doaiu. So far a concerns the home market the tr tit has been successful ia thit it is ab'e t n get at least ?t.T3 more for a docea axes than tie manufacturers who for.-ted it were able to get before. It has been able to do this by its complete control over production here. And now as to tbe way it dipoes of its surplus tbr-sad.
