There was meeting of the stockhold-
ers yesterday at the offices of the cor
poration in the Merchants'N National bank
building. 1t might be explained that
there are now two companies operating
as the Walter A. Wood Harvester
works-one in Hoosick Falls. NY, and
the other in st. Paul. The Hoosick
Falls company covers the eastern half
Of America: the st. Paul company cOv-
ers the western half. The Hoosick
Falls works have been in operation
many years, and the business has in
creased to such proportions that to meet
the demands of the trade the continent
has to be divided into two and second
set of works established. These works,
when in full operation, will give en-
pioyment to 10000 men, and the capital
stock is placed at $1,500.000, half of
which has been subscribed by capitalists
of st. Paul. The Walter Atwood Stock
holders in the Hoosick Fails works have
subscribed for the remaining stock. The
meeting yesterday was Of the stock
holders of the st. Paul works. There
was representative attendance of the
moneyed men of the city, as every CAPT.
taiiSt has subscribed for more or less OF
the stock. either in the way of an in
