Agreement In Slqht Relating to Early
Closing.
The Clerks' Pnlon has held a
meeting, at which the time of closing
for the summer months was discuss
ed.
The grocers have not been In tw
vor of early closing at any time
though thy have fallen into line
with the other stores, and now, as
the harvest season Is coming on
they want to keep their stores open
untl & o'clock p. in., nnu pernaps
later. The clerks do not relish the
idea to any great extent, and appoint
ed a committee last night which will
confer with the grocers and other
merchants in regard to the question.
It is probable that eome agreement
will be roached, perhaps in tne na
ture of a compromise, by which
both sides will gain some conres

Large Dividends Possible.
After Investigation of tho projects
of tho company and of whnt they
have to offer Investors, It Is tho opin
ion of tho Judgo thnt the foundry
would pay a largo dividend on tho
capital necessary to lloal It, and no
