FOUR MORE.
Exodus of Marlboro Mer-
chants Continues.

And more are csming. Following the
example of Carter & Co, one of the
leading clothing firms Of Marlboro, in
removing their business to Worcester,
it is now announced that four other
equally prominent merchants OF the
strike city are contemplating q loca-
ton in this city One of the dealers
was in this city yesterday looking for
a central and available situation, and
as soon as he can secure favorable
terms, he will move his business here
without further delay.
All of the four concerns are now do
ing business on Main street in the
heart of the city, three being engaged
in the retail clothing trade and one in
the restaurant business. Since Garter
e. Co. decided to settle in Worcester
and secured a location here. the ques-
ton of removal has appealed to them
in a stronger light. All report that the
condition OF trade is enough to drive
merchants, especially those of the re-
tail class, to desperation, and that the
situation has forced itself upon the
leading concerns there either to go out
Of business or to go elsewhere. Many
have been I'm business for a long series
Of years. and wish to continue in their
pursuit.
Since the strike began there has been
a stagnation in trade circles and there
Is no immediate prospect Of a revival
in business conditions. Collections con-
tlnue slower than in the past, and the
commercial interests express general
disgust that the strike has not been
adjusted before the present time. The
merchants feel that they have helped
the worllingmen as much as they can
be expected to, and as To continue this
Is to sacrifice self, they have adopted
the alternative Of making preparations
for leaving the city. The restaurant
keeper in particular, has found buel-
ness most depressing, and Will seek ar
immediate field outside of Marlboro.
G. II. Carter, OF the firm OF Carter &
Co., was seen yesterday ut his WOr-
cester house sos Main street, and said
that he would move his stock Tuesday
Mt the latest. He has a force of men
in charge renovating the store, and is
preparing to make a strong bid for the
Worcester trade. He talked I'm black
| colors Of the condition of trade in
Marlboro. and said that he knew OF
several other merchants there who had
done a most prosperous business before
tho strike. who were examining local
conditions with view to removal here.
Mr.. Carter win remove a part OF his
Marlboro stock in trade here the first
OF the week. and then VIII open for the
patronage Of tho Worcester public.
