THE agreement among the banks
TO close at noon on Saturday during
the summer seems to have fallen
through. 1t was signed by three Of
them and left at the Second National
bank but it's officers seemed unwilling
to comply with the agreement. We
suppose they know their own
business, we also suppose the other
banks know theirs and if after care
full consideration they concluded it
was the proper thing TO do we know
no reason why all could not agree to
it. The stores find that they sell as
many goods by closing at 6 p. M. as
they would il open until 10.
