in the course of two or three weeks,
the coming in of orders, of course, be-
ing the factor to rule the same. Or

The seasonable wea ther for the bust
ness for the last month has had the eff
feet of lessening the stocks of goods

plies of rubber goods, which will give a
renewed impetus to the manufacturing
business.
The following was among the tele-
graphic dispatches received by the
branch house in this city of Prince &
Whitley Of New York, yesterday:
The United States Rubber company
has shut down few factories tempo
rarily, which is usual at this time of

for rubber goods from all sections of
the country and the stocks on hand
are being depleted rapidly. The COM

tory preparatory to making the annual
statement to the stockholders The
earnings of the year will show salts
factory results in comparison with last
years business. The regular monthly

will be discussed. The question of
dividends on preferred and common
stock will be discussed at the first
meeting of the directors after the an
nual meeting, when full and complete

be before them. There is a balance of
about 81, 100000 applicable to dividends
on the common stock and which I'M
