The Fairs.

THE Supplementary Book Fair promises to be successful beyond the anticipation of the trade generally. We must confess that we did not look with great favor upon a Fair following so closely upon the first, although it was construed to be supplementary to it, and we did not, nor do we now believe, that its success or failure would do much to further test the usefulness or popularity of the Fair system. It is never wise to introduce into a season unexpected elements which may derange the course of trade, and as at the time of the first Fair fall plans had been laid without contemplating a second, it was even unjust to a certain class of buyers that such a sale should be held. Next year, it is to be hoped, it will be decided by the committee, on its own motion, early in the year, how many Fairs are to be held, and when; and then this programme should stand. Meanwhile, the trade have taken hold of this supplementary Fair finely, and with the exception of two or three leading houses, nearly all the publishers will offer their lists, while buyers promise to flock from the West to lay in holi day stock. Some houses are holding back goods for first offering at the Fair, and there are other manifestations of active belief in it. In other columns we present a brief summary of the features to which publishers desire to call the especial attention of the trade, and our advertising pages furnish lists of the new books. Let us advise all who are coming to the Fair as buyers to look carefully over their stock, particularly as regards standards, and decide before they come to the Fair, with the assistance of the data given in this number, how much stock and of what sort they need to buy. The better conditions of doing business consequent on the reform movement give them more security than they used to have for laying in standard as well as novel stock; yet in the present condition of business it is better on all sides that they should buy wisely rather than largely. The trade is still afflicted, though to less extent, with the feverish desire to make

large sales, sometimes at the expense of safety, but it is better for every interest concerned that bills should be paid rather than books bought. We trust to see at the Fair good but careful buying, and a disposition on the part of sellers to place goods wisely rather than to push buyers to make purchases beyond their judgment, or to scatter goods indiscriminately.

A Stationers' Fair is to be held simultaneously, as has been announced, under the management of Mr. Andrew Geyer. Although sales were not so large in this branch at the July fair, yet it was generally conceded that it gave a very valuable opportunity to show goods with a view to future sales, and paid even if no goods were directly sold. The book and stationery interests are so thoroughly identified, so far as retailers are concerned, that the two fairs should be held at the same place, for buyers will of course centre chiefly at the Book Fair. The two are, however, not far apart, and when there is a strong Stationers' Association to hold a fair by authority, these questions may be decided by it. The fairs of either trade should never become an individual speculation, else their whole aims will be perverted.

THE many friends of Lee & Shepard will regret to learn that a settlement was not effected at the meeting of last week. The result of the statement and of the committee's report upon it, and of Mr. Houghton's unexpected propo. sition, has been to create a wide diversity of opinion through the trade as to all the ques tions at issue. The feeling seems to be general, however, that if the firm is not to be allow ed to go on under reasonably favorable pros. pects, a regular settlement in bankruptcy would be more just and proper than any course which might seem like speculating on misfortune. It would be most unwise, in any event, to throw their stock peremptorily on the market; and we believe that, with prudence and economy, the stock would be best managed by the house itself.

THE trade ought not to forget that representation at the Centennial is both a duty of patriotism and a good stroke of policy. We have serious fears that the representation of the book interest will not be what it should, unless something more is done than there is at present promise of. The days of grace close next Friday. Every trade organization that meets before that time ought to lend a hand in spurring up the trade, and, if individual publishers are behindhand, we advise that space should be applied for by the organizations, to be afterwards allotted to publishers. Should there be a failure at the Centennial, much of the blame must rest upon the directorship, from which it has been almost impossible to obtain any satisfaction, except by printed circulars which did not answer the questions asked. There is general complaint of ill-organization at Philadelphia. But blame must also fall upon the interests themselves. It is the simplest thing in the world to ask for space-see elsewhere-and we trust no publisher will fail to put in an appear

ance.

THE Athenæum for September 25th has the following monstrous paragraph:

"The recent failure of several large American publishing houses, culminating in the failure of the houses of Lee & Shepard, Boston, and Lee, Shepard & Dillingham, NewYork-the latter for about $500,000-is said to have caused the downfall of no less than twenty-seven smaller houses in New-York, Washington, Philadelphia, and Boston! It is well known that the Beecher-Tilton trial has ruined several firms who speculated in sermon-stock,' according to Transatlantic phrase."

Where under the heavens this information

came from we can not imagine. It is, of course, entirely false, and we trust English journals will contradict the story at once. No failure, to our knowledge, has followed that of the Lee & Shepard house, and the only other recent failure at all worthy of note is that of J. B. Ford & Co. The latter part of the paragraph doubtless refers to them, but is even then deliciously and supremely absurd.

A LIBRARIAN puts a fair question elsewhere: why the price of books should be practically raised (by the twenty per cent rule) on a falling general market. The prices should be raised to some extent because books have not afforded a living to those who dealt in them, and whom the community did not pay fairly for the service done. On the other hand, advertised prices, raised to meet discounts, are in some instances too high, and a temporary injustice is done in those cases by the reform. This evil will soon begin to right itself, however, by competition on advertised prices, and then we trust "Librarian" and other right-minded people will be satisfied.

SINCE our last, one publisher has followed another in offering the Detroit Board of Education square forty off. While we regret what seems to us a mistake in the long run, it should be said that no agreement is violated, the exceptions providing for this very case. But of course the Detroit retailers, now that the Board will retail at cost, can not keep these books in stock, to sell at a price which is really below the cost to them, and must, because of losing this business, keep less general stock. The. Granger question, presented elsewhere, demands the immediate attention of the Board of Trade.

MR. LOVERING was arrested last week in Boston, for alleged violation of the gift enterprise law, and was admitted to bail in $2000. Meanwhile, sales are still large, although it is now claimed that they are chiefly of books bought at trade sales years ago, at 10 to 15 cents a piece, and that it is the public who are paying dear for their reckoning.

THE genial poet-publisher-president" rises to explain" in another column, and we do him the favor of asking the trade's particular attention to his request, and of seconding his motion, namely, that it shall never speak well of him again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The interests of the trade can not be better served, than by a full discussion by its members of all questions which affect it. Our columns are always open to communications on any such subject, provided they be brief and suggestive, and we cordially invite the trade to express any suggestions or opinions of interest or value in "Letters to the Editor."

A Plea for Life.

WATERBURY, CT., Sept. 28, 1875. To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly.

DEAR SIR: Quite recently I have noticed, without reading the pros and cons, something in regard to the injustice of one person holding more than one public office. The teacher ber 25th, advocates the holding by one person whose letter appears in your columns, Septemof several offices or following various professions at one and the same time, namely: a teacher and a bookseller.

The teachers, with the aid of the bookseller. publishers, have about starved out the country

No business, in country towns at least, is so ruthlessly invaded as the bookseller and stationer. Teachers, grocers, dry-goods men, and fancy-store keepers all "go" for us. The grocers sell ink, paper, slates and pencils, etc. The dry-goods men and fancy-store keepers sell portfolios, writing-desks, papeteries, pocket-books, memorandums and diaries, etc., especially during the Christmas holidays, thus spoiling the stationery trade at harvest time.

A Question of the Times.

October 1, 1875. To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly: DEAR SIR: There is one view of the recent action of the book trade which, if taken by yourself or any correspondent, has escaped my notice. It is briefly this: What is there in the business and financial condition of the country to justify an advance of twenty-five per cent upon any marketable commodity? Any retail buyer of books could get off twenty, and libraries and other favored buyers thirty per cent. The incomes of all classes of the community, and especially of the reading class, have suffered serious diminution within the past two years, and will illy bear the additional tax.

As a mechanical production, does a book cost any more now than it has done at any time within the past twelve years?

No one should complain of a uniform scale of discounts, or even of any of the provisions of your agreement, but the general public may and will condemn what, in the present aspect, seems to be a combination to advance prices.

If the publishers would take a lower line of retail prices, they could quiet the complaints, and still gain their end-uniformity. Yours respectfully, LIBRARIAN.

The Boston Lottery.

JACKSON, MISS., September 30, 1875. To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly: DEAR SIR: Reading "The Boston Lottery" in PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY of September 11th, and "A Teacher's Argument" in that of September 25th, wherein the statement appears that the Boston man retails books at $1, the advertised prices of which are from $1.50 to $3, and wherein the teacher man claims to have bought schoolbooks from firm at half price and less, tempts me to ask you to " rise and explain"

If the Boston man can sell $2 and $3 books at $1 retail, that are "new and fresh" (and I take it that the people in Boston are tolerably posted in regard to that, so that even the lottery man can not impose on them at their "own selection"), then I want to know what discount the enterprising Bostonian gets from the publishers. I would like to see his catalogue classified according to publishers of the United States, to see what firm had $2 and $3 books to sell at less than 75 cents; we could thereby approximately fasten on every publisher whether he indulges in what I would call the most abominable of underselling, going through a gamut of discounts to 80 per cent.

You say Mr. Lottery could not have bought them at the big underselling shop-the trade sale. How, under present arrangement, can "he count in with his stock the contents of the publishers' and jobbers' shops in Boston, from which he expects to buy as he sells"?

Do not call on Boston law to stop that which the trade in Boston can stop by inquiry as to parties concerned in the matter. What one man can do, another can find out how it was done, and let the balance into the secret, if such it should be. Yours very respectfully,

GEORGE C. EYRICH.

Grangers and School-Books.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Sept. 30, 1875. To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly: DEAR SIR: Inclosed find circular of the Patrons of Husbandry of this county, offering to sell school-books (mostly those of one house) at 30 per cent discount throughout the year. Does such a transaction come under Exception 3 of A. B. T. A., viz., School Boards and State Normal Schools created by law and authorized to purchase books or supplies from public funds"? If publishers come to our doors to compete with us, why should small except to ministers, teachers, etc., for their own dealers agree to sell at not less than retail rates, Respectfully yours,

use?

BOOKSELLER.

The Patrons of Husbandry have issued the following circular to the school patrons of Hennepin County:

REDUCED RATES.

The undersigned, a committee appointed by the Patrons represent to all patrons of the public schools of said county of Husbandry of Hennepin County, would respectfully

that they have made arrangements by which, with the cooperation of the school-boards and the people, complete uniformity of school-books may be secured for the county at greatly reduced rates, not only for the first introduction, but also for continuous supply. This reduction or saving is about 30 per cent of the retail price.

The list of books selected, and which we most heartily recommend for adoption by the several school-boards, is to a large extent the same as that in use in the public schools of the city of Minneapolis.

The books recommended we believe to be superior in quality, general style, illustrations, and typography to any heretofore used in our schools, while the prices are very much less, even at full retail rates; but an arrangement has been made through which a reduction in the price of future supplies may inure to each and every purchaser.

Upon the opposite page accompanying this will be found a list of the books, with prices annexed, to which your attention is directed. This list shows not only the introductory prices, but the prices established for contínuous supply after introduction; also the retail prices. Sixty days from the time the first supply is ordered by the school-board is allowed each district in which to complete the introduction at the introductory prices named.

ECONOMICAL AND PRUDENT.

We earnestly and confidently commend these books, and the whole arrangement, to all the friends and patrons of our schools as the most economical and prudent one ever offered them, and we would most respectfully urge each and every board of trustees in the county to take immediate action and adopt the list recommended. By a united action we shall secure a uniform series throughout the county, and save hundreds of dollars in the purchase of school-books, and at the same time realize all the advantages gained by the new and improved methods.

-, Sept. 27, 1875. To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly : DEAR SIR: Ist. Is it in accordance with the rules of the Publishers' Board of Trade for publishers to sell books to teachers, and other buyers of the same class, at a discount of 20 per cent, and pay freight on the same?

2d. Is a professor in a college, who pays a bookseller's license, and buys books to supply the students, and sells to them at a small advance on cost, a regular bookseller, and entitled to a bookseller's discount?

3d. Has a local bookseller the right, under the rules governing the Board of Trade, to give a discount of 25 per cent to schools, and if not, how can it be prevented?

The above queries are for information. The writer believes the first to be a clear violation of the rules by the Publishers' Board of Trade. The second either an imposition practiced on the publishers, or a neat little trick of evasion on part of both buyer and seller. The third a clear violation of the rules by the local bookseller.

Taken as a whole, all these little arrangements are in operation, and names and places can be given.

BOOKSELLER.

[1. The Publishers' Board of Trade rules permit actual cost of freight, boxing, and cartage to be prepaid or deducted, in the case of introductory sales, if so agreed at time of making in

troductions (By-law iv.). On other sales, no allowance for freight, etc., in addition to the 40 per cent discount, is permitted (By-law xiii.). It is to be presumed that the latter prohibition holds also as to the 20 per cent rule (By-law xxxi.), but there is no definite expression on the subject in that by-law. It would probably have to be decided by the Arbitration Committee.

2. We presume he would be limited, were the facts known, to 20 per cent. 3. Clearly no; the exceptions of Board of Trade are for publishers only, and this is a violation of the A. B. T. A. 20 per cent rule. The Arbitration Committee of the latter should be applied to.-ED.]

Providence, R. I.

PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct. 1, 1875.

To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly:

DEAR SIR: After the organization of the NewEngland Booksellers' Association at Boston, the Providence booksellers felt it was time for sive, for the schools were soon to open, and if a action, and also that it must be prompt and decireform was to be made there could be no delay.

Accordingly, a preliminary meeting or two were held, resulting in the formation of the "Providence Booksellers' Association," with D. Perrin as President, and A. J. Goodenough as Secretary.

The opening of the schools led to especial action in regard to school-books, and resolutions were adopted to meet the difficulty of underselling, which has been the rule here for years

school-books retailing here at wholesale prices, and teachers having 10 per cent discount from the wholesale lists. The resolutions provide a partial remedy; still we have not yet attained to the full retail prices (as our Western brethren have done), except in a part of the lists; which point is not stated in the resolutions, but which is put into practical effect in every place

where it can be done.

The association has had its difficulties, and at times so serious did they seem that it was doubtful whether it would not be disbanded, or at least suffer from some members withdrawing. But no such calamity has yet befallen us, and we most sincerely hope it never will occur. The good resulting from this effort is estimated not only by dollars and cents (this part increased at least 10 per cent), but especially in the better
