The slioemrkers in imany of the

price of all the necessaries of life.
Their demand, however, will be princi.

until their denmands are coinplied with.
At. TeigfAmiutli and Torqtuny, the
plasterers and joiners have applied for
an increase of wages, and, from - thie
good feeling which exists between the
employer and the employed, there is
no doubt but that it will be -ranted.
