Quite a full meeting of dry and fancy g90ds clerks, with some of the shoe and hat clerks, and a delegation from the Workingmen’s As- sembly, was held last night at Rossi, on 7th street, Mr. G. Floecker in the chair, and Mr. M. Clark secretary. Mr. Hennage, from the com- mittee on early closing, reported that there was no doubt but that all the merchants who had signed the agreement to close their stores at 7 o'clock p. m. after July 5th intended to abide by it faithfully, without regard to what some fusignificant dealers might do. The project 13 ypular one, and all ‘ht-minded customers who make purchases at night are getting to see the propriety of it. Mr. Goddard had advised Bec committee to get all the meronants ce join in the arrangement who are disposed to dot act of justice to themselves and thelr clerks and employes.

Their main ob- ject is stated by some of them to be to bring about the old time custom of counting 13 loaves to dozen, in other words, giving a “bakers Dracipay Carouge grocers Nast and principally through the grocers’ hands, an they make a cent a loaf profit. There are in the city about 150 bakers, and er average 750 loaves per day or a total of 112,500. About 30,000 loaves are sold direct to families at retail price, and the remainder 82,500 loaves to grocers the profit on which to the middie men $825. Under the law the loaf ee weigh a pound, and it is claimea@ that the bakers cannot sell it at the present price of flour for three cents; but if they covid sell direct to families, rot which now saving the p — the grocers, they would be able to give weight, wel ‘well baked bread and the profit of i cent on each loaf—about $2 50 per barrel— would enable them to use a better quality of flour and to pay their workmen better wages; in fact, to give a full baker’s dozen of better quality loaves for half oe dollar.
