marble pOlishers are still on the strike, and
are as determined as ever. A great deal of
enthusiasm prevailed to-day among the
German cabinet makers in consequence of
the very satisfactory report Of a delegation
appointed to interview the Governor. The
pianOfOrte makers met this morning, and
in a body to the mandatory, where thew
were received by the senior partner, who
said: 1--WE have concluded to yield to YOU
Tor the present, reserving the right to make
such changes as circumstances NAV from
time to time suggest. On Monday next our
factories viii open with the eight hour sys-
tenn for day men, and twenty per cent iu-
crease for piece work"

the wOrkmen nine hours, or to increase
their wages ten per cent under the present
system. Any further concession, however.
is regarded as impossible, and the firm will
hold out for any length Of time rather than
yield to demand which they consider pre-
posterOus.
