our power, and at tie same time subserve our
own interest III encouraging the study of music,
by making it comparatively easy for our pupils
and patrons to secure Instruments. To This end,
we offered to furnish Pianos, ETC., TO our music

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The events of the
week in financial circles were important in
ness on the Stock Exchange was smaller than
Of late. The money market was easy and
the ruling rates on call loans were TX to 2I y
cent. Foreign exchanges were weak and
lower, and rates were reduced from 4S5 and
4s914 to 4S41s@94S8. Gold speculation was
quiet and shade weaker, prices declining
from so05s to 1909 Government bonds were
firm early in the week, but declined fraction
towards the close. Railway and miscellaneous
speculation was generally y strong and higher
ing ranged from X to 3sz u cent. Subsequent

The Number of Unemployed I'm Massa'
CEaMSeCtN and the Country.

=, NEW YORK, Aug 24AThe Graphic says IS
before the Hewitt committee that over 100,0 900
persons are unemployed in Massachusetts,
and that more than 100000 are out of work
in the United States. Moodys figures were
in sharp contrast with those OF Mr. Wright's,
the able chief of the Massachusetts labor bu-
reau. Wright lately reported only %, 900 per-
sons of both sexes unemployed in Massachu-
setts. In the corrected statement, which
Moody has filed with the Hewitt committee,
he shows more than three times that number
were employed in 1875. AS piece Of deduc-
tive statistics Moody's work seemed ire
fragable, and yet it might be fact that fewer
persons are unemployed now than there were
in 1875.
