Early Closing Movement.

THERE is a proposal on foot to close
all places of business two nights each
week at o'clock. The days chosen are
Tuesdays and Fridays and the time is to
be the next three months. OF the fifty
firms seen up to yesterday 80 had
signed the paper, and only fourteen more
remained to be seen. This plan is in
operation in BrattleborO, and has been
the custom for years, also in North
Adams and Hoosick Falls, SO we are
told. 1t appears to be feasible and as
affording an opportunity to give the
clerks couple of evenings off will be
very popular with them and their
friends. Should all come into this ar
rangement no doubt the conditions of
trade will adapt themselves to the pro-
prosed new order of things.
Since the above was in type Messrs.
Healy and PeirsOn have furnished us the
list of names below. The dates between
which this is to take effect are June 23rd
