 The Farrel Foundry and Machine company will close at , o'clock this afternoon instead of at as hereto fore. It is understood that this rule will continue indefinitely. This means nine hour day on Saturday. but the help will have to put in ten hours for day during the rest of the week. 1t is a gain, small to be sure but nevertheless an indication that the advocates of the shorter day are making some headway. Who knows what another year may bring. It was said to-day that the rest of the machine shops will fall into line and stop at on Saturdays.

One man in this city told me yesterday that local manu- facturer offered him all kinds of prices for a car of egg coal which he has on the way"
