More Evidence of Financial Distress,

NEW YORK, March PA spe-
cial dispatch from New Haven
says: The hardware manufac-
turing concern of Sargent & Co.,
employing 1880 hands, and the
largest factory in the state, has re-
duced the hours from "a to AZ a
week, involving weekly reduc-
ton in wages earned of about %
per cent. 1t manufactures more
than 5000 separate hardware ar
ticles, which are sold all over the
country. HI. b. Sargent, manager
Of the company, attributes the
causes of the reduction, in the
main, to the slack demand in
hardware goods, caused by dis.
quietude in regard to the coun.
try's financial condition.
