Midday Closing Brought Buy
erS Out EarIier-Summer
/ Trade Better.

Midday closing of the city markets
and numerous stores had the effect of
bringing retailers out trifie earlier
this morning than usual. Most OF
the wholesale business usually is over
nv noon throughout the year, dealers
state. and the midday closing does
not have much effect upon their trade.
Early Wednesday closing during the
Summer months means much to the
retail market trade, however, en-
ployes having TO be on duty every
week day and until o'clock saturday
nights.
Business this season is reported bet
ter than during ordinary early SUM
mer seasons, due, 1t is oencNeo, 10
much cooler weather than usual that
has resulted in many persons remain
ing at home instead of going 10 re-
sorts.
Dealers had attractive displays or
all commodities to offer retailers this
morning, and prices were substantially
the same as prices quoted yesterday.
