should carry home, and that each should
bring can for stewed tomatoes.

average dividend last year Of &c per

two 10 and l6 per cent, respectively. The
strike at Fail River appears also To be
advancing toward a critical stage. and
the minor strikes which have occurred
there lead TO the belief that the labor
