CHANGE OF PAY DAY.-ln England
many of the manufacturing firms, in
the endevour to remove from their
workmen the temptation Of a holiday
Immediately after they have received
their weekly wages, have changed pay
day from Saturday to Monday. In
France an effort is made to improve on
this system by dividing the workmen
into sections with different pay days
for each. The moral example, it Is
thought, of their fellows working stead
lily on will prevent those who have
just been paid from wasting their mon
ey in dissipation. A similar ar
rangement, we believe, has been made
in some ofthe largest establishments in
Pennsylvania, and with satisfactory
results.

COAL AND IRoN.-The general tone

since our last report; buyers operate
cautiously. The trade generally has
