important business failures that has taken
place in a long time. The liabilities are
about 100000, which is more than
equalled by the assets Of the firm. Thus
far no assignment has been made, and ef.
forts are being made to effect q settlement
with the creditors and resume business at

At its close those present stated that they
were not yet prepared to make their de-
Cision public, The general feeling among
the employers has been adverse to grant

which the wages are determined under
the present arrangements, an advance
from the selling price OF 2 cents being q
proporationate advance in the wages Of
the men, while any decline in selling price
decreases the wages ot the puddlers and
