making purchases. nov that the two
weeks trial of the eight hour sys-
tenn has expired. and number
OF them are undecided as 20 what the out

have tried the o'clock movement for a
week. and are apparently well satisfied with
it. The dry goods aud clothing merchants

grocers will commence tomorrow evening
to close az o clock. The hardware men
will perhaps close their places of business az
o'clock in the near future.
