The Early.CIosiDg Movement Among

The movement inaugurated among the
leading merchants OF this city for the clos

low clerks opportunity for rest andres
,ion in the evening, is one so commenda-
bIe in It's object, and would be 30 salutary
10 ils operation If successful, that We trust
II will succeed. 10 some kinds Of buSi'
neas ii is difficult to limit the hourS Of la
Dor, because TO do SO cOrrespondingly
limits the profits Oh the business but there
10 no such objection 10 limiting the hours
Of business 10 the houses Of retail mer'
chants. Except q particularly busy sea-
sons, there are lev retail stores where the
days business could not be done In six or
eight hours. II 1t were tho custom to
keep open only this many hours, customers
would regulate themselves accordingly
aud the sales would be just as much as
they are when It is the custom TO keep
open twelve or fifteen hours. The rest
uI the time is spent in waiting for puh-
ness. II there were entire cooperation
AmoDg merchants, there is no real obsta-
Gle 70 very great shortening OF their bu'
sluess hours. People could and would
make their purchases within prescribed
uourS,p S,precisely as they now transact their
business with the banks. There Is norea.
SON for limiting the hours ot business in
banks that will not apply to many kinds
Of mercantile houses. The custom as TO-
banks has been established. It would
take time and cooperation TO establish NJ
Tor merchants; but it could be done,
though the business hours could hardly
he limited so much.
It Is one Of the mislortunesO Ol trade that
IL has grown to be the practice for all
engaged In 1t to devote to it nearly all
their waxing hours, This is largely the
result Of sharp and eager competition.
Each merchant is afraid his competitors
will get the start of him by closer at
tendance upon his business; and 80 Il has
come about that from tho earliest to the
latest hour when customer can be ex-
pected to be abroad, each must be on his
post, gui piUs. On the whole, nothing Is
gnlued by this. There is just so much
business 10 be done, and 1t eau be just as
well done by keeping open several hours
less than now. II Is only necessary Tor
all In the same line of trade to agree upon
au uniform hour ol closing, so that
nelther slmll be presumed 10 take ad-

adapt themselves 10 the regulation, and
some hours each day may bc saved by the
merchant and his clerks for pleAsanter &C.
