1rAKERs TALK OF CUTTING GUAR
LNTEES ON WHEELS AND TIRES.

There 10 considerable indecision among the
bicycle and rubber tire manufacturer In rela-
ton to tho imposition OF guarantees upon their
'9S products. A meeting Of the Rubb r Tire As-
ISOLATION will be hold In this city on Sept. 8,
when the question of guarantees for next season
will DO discussed. The existing guarantee on
bicycles and rubber tires 10 six months, q reduc-
tion from twelve of last season. The tire people
arc disposed to abolish the guarantee on tircs
entirely. and the wisdom Of such a move will
form an important feature Of their deliberations
next week. II is expected, however. that no
final action will be taken on the question until
the sentiment Of the officers Of tho National
Cycle Board Of Trade is obtained. The Execu-
tive Committee Of tho latter association at q ro-
cont meeting discussed tho question Of guaran-
tees and passed resolutions recommending
to Its Board Of Directors that q throe
months guarantee DO adopted for next
season upon bicycles dating from tho
purchase OF the wheel Both associations work
together tremendously, and II 10 probable that .
mutual agreement will DO arrived at making tho
guarantee on bicycles and tiros q three months
agreement for next year. The reduction Of the
manufacturers guarantee from twelve to six
months this year provoked considerable ~ill.feel-
ing among tho buyers OF high-grade wheels, and
thc.dropplng of the guarantee system entirely

The announcement that a cycle exhibit will
be held at Chicago In November next has
aroused considerable discussion among manu-
facturcrs and dealers as to what action the Ma
tional Cycle Board OF Trade will take regarding
the show. The latter organization has decided
not to sanction any shows this year. and tho
question now is whether the dealers will ignore
the edict Of the Board OF Trade.
THE Sun renorter aaked Secretary E r
Franks OF the Board Of Trade yesterday what
action would be likely to result from the move
ment to hold exhibits this year. He said: "Tho
members or the board are as a unit on tho ques-
ton Of shows this year. There may be attempts
by professional showmen to hold exhibits. but I
havo no doubt that such fixtures will receive
scant support. When the board refused to
sanction outside shows in the past, they have
We have not heard officially OF this Western
show, but inasmuch as every member Of the
Board Of Trade has signed an agreement not TO
exhibit. | think The prospects OF a successful
show arc not over bright
