More over, it is the city second in import ance, commercially speaking, in the state; is the largest city in this sec- tion of the state, and offers every fla eility and every advantage possessed by all first-class cities for the opera ton of such a plant. These are con s'dered advantages not to be turned lightly aside.
 It may be yet that deal will be consummated for the establishment of the factory here, as negotiations are in fact still pending; but it is said that the Gardner people are ask ing concessions that make the matter uncertain. Mr. Anderson will today draw up his proposition in writing. and this proposition will be submit ted to the board of trade for action by that organization.
