Financial ENTERTAINMENT.
The L. Candee rubber mandatory has
shut down until August Is, not for lack of
orders but owing to the financial string,
encies of the times, which make money
SCARCE. As said one of the gentlemen con-
nected with this big industrial concern:
"Money at the present time is scarce. and
for purchaser to buy goods requires some
concessions which the average business
man does not care to assume. In our
business more or less time is required in
the payment of goods when times are good,
so you can see what uncertainty there Is
about the future when the present condi-
ton of things is taken into consideration.
By the 10Th of August when the factory
will be opened again, it is believed that
the future of financial matters can be
pretty nearly determined, and then If the
Indications are good the factory will be put
on full time and matters will be carried
along as before. If, on the other hand,
the depression is as pronounced as 1t Is to-
day then the factory will be run on short
time. and only such orders will be filed as
will meet with ready and prompt payment.
AT THE LOCK SHOP.
Mallory, Wheeler & Co.'s large factory
is running five days per week.
ONLY FEW MEN LAID OFF.
The facts in regard to the factory of
Peck Brothers shutting down are not as
stated in some of the papers. No depart,
ment of the factory is closed and the whole
shop is running full time every day in the
week. Some of the men, however, who
work in the foundries are laid off part of
the time. President Peck, from whom the
above was learned last evening, added that
times were dull and money ecsrce, but the
facts as to the chop were as above.
AT THE BIG CORSET SHOP.
Work at the corset factory of Mayer,
Strouse & Co. will be on the five days per
week plan, beginning this morning. Orders
said Mr.. Adler last night, are not plentiful;
in fact, are unusually small, owing to the
tight money market.
AT sHONINGER & co.'s.
At the Shoninger company, which has
been doing big business all along, bust
ness is trife duller than usual, but the
hands have not lost much more time than
usual in the hot season of the year.
AT THE CLOCK FACTORY.
At this big factory business Is fairly
good and thera is al unusual demand fol-
some of the specialties. In other depart
ments the work is not rushing.
AT sARGENT's.
The Sargent factory men arc nearly ali
working. At this very large factory bust.
ness Is moderately active, though, Of
course, the monetary stringenoy does not
give prospects of any great demand fol
goods this summer.
AT THE HOOKER FACTORY.
At this big carriage factory business hat
been excellent considering the times, and
the large force of employees has been hav
ing work right along, though If the none
tary stringsncy continues they may slack
up little.
AT OTHER LARGE CARRIAGE FACTORIES.
Work at the Armstrong, Henry Killam
I
other carriage factories Is tolerably good
and at these shops the men have had t,
lose but very little time for months past
| At Henry Killam's the body makers got
little ahead on their branch of the work
month or two ago and were laid off for
compile of weeks, but were then returned
to work.
AT THE BIGELoW FACTORY.

boiler mandatory. The concern ha
| orders ahead sufficient to last some time.
ADT's MACHINE SHOP.
| At Adt's machine shop the working tim
has been reduced t. four days psr week.
THE MARLIN GUN SHOP.
At the Marlin gun shop about all tt
hands are working, though owing to tt
: monetary stringency collections do ne
. come in as rapidly as before, when none
was easy, and this is true of about q
as elsewhere.
AT o. NORTH & CO. s.
At o. B. North's big factory work
slackened in some of the departments.

bury and Bethel hat shops are about a
