The Glass Association - A New Agreement and Rules to

Govern the Trade.

The Pittsburgh Telegraph of April 13th gives the following report. We incline to the belief that it will be easier to make a set of regulations than it will be to enforce them in all cases.

There was a regular meeting of the Western Flint-Glass Association yesterday afternoon. The most important business transacted was the passage of an agreement in regard to rates and prices. The agreement is:   First, that all packages shall be a specific charge on each invoice, and the prices charged shall be not less than the list accompanying this circular.   Second, the terms of credit shall not exceed ninety days from date of shipment. Third, the discount for cash shall not exceed three per cent, and then only on condition that payment is made within thirty days. Fourth, goods shall only be delivered at the nearest port or railroad station to the place of manufacture, and in no case shall freight be paid or allowed by the shipper. Fifth, the delivery of goods on board steamboat or cars, with a receipt or bill of lading therefore, shall be a release of all claims by the purchaser on the shipper for breakage, delay, or loss. Sixth, all sales shall be made payable with exchange on New York, or the place from which the goods are shipped. Seventh, no claim shall be allowed for alleged inferiority of ware in goods shipped as first quality, until the shipper or his agent shall have had an opportunity of investigating the claim, and then only on condition that the claim has been made within thirty days. Eighth, any dealer deducting a claim allowed by the shipper from his remittance, or refusing to pay a draft for such reason, in violation of any rule hereby enacted, and refusing, after proper notice, to comply therewith, shall be reported to the Association for such action as may be deemed proper. This was signed by Adams & Co., Pittsburg, Pa.; Atterbury & Co., Pittsburg, Pa.; Bakewell, Pears & Co., Pittsburg, Pa.; Beatty, A.
