It Is satisfactory to note by the call elsewhere
Tor information on the part of the CHARM an of
the Committee on Text books and Studies, that
the school board propose to give early attention
TO the complaints In regard to '.School tasks
out Of School" We should say, however. that
the new school board, who seem to be intelli-
gent. practical men, will have no difficulty i'm
arriving az conclusion. 1t Is manifest that
the disposition to heap additional studies, text
books and tasks upon the children has been
carried beyond bounds, and that prompt revi-
sion Of the rules prescribing them should be
made.

baltimore has monthly flower show that
seems to be Justifiable matter OF pride TO the
city. The March display is said to be unusually
fine In Its display OF the flowers and plants of
the carbohydrates. camelias hyacinths, tulios,
orchids, &C. Why do not our amateur and pro-
fessional florists and hortlculturists get I'D
monthly flower show? What, with the loaned
specimens that could be obtained from the
superb government collections, and those from
private owners, display of wonderful variety
ana beauty could be made every month. Such
an opportunity is afforded for identifying our
city by the cultivation of choice flowers and
plants In the parking In front of every mans
door that IL is very desirable that the taste In
This direction should be promoted; and informa-
lion difused in regard to the proper treatment
or theSe floral adornments. The monthly show
OF flowers and plants would be the best educa-
Tor possible. Who will set the project In motion?

MONDAY, Dec. 29-6 +. M.
The stock market to-day was invariably strong
and In most instances higher. Whether money is
70 DO cheaper or dearer in the immediate future
seems to be the question which at the moment is
holding tho whiphand speculation. We're
everybody satisfied that easy money to DO the
rule stocks would advance but many bodies think
that ease in money II to be the exception stocks
comparatively speaking drag. There was. neverthe-
less, considerable working up in to-day's values
the motive power being Afforded by the government
disbursements It hardly possible that SIT

and the majority of operators regard it. At
any rate. upon this possible. but. it must be con-
fessed. somewhat problematical belief. they were
ready buyers of stocks to-day. Whether for q long
pull Q short they do not probably know them
selves. The prospective ease in money for day or
two to come is inducement to buy for the quick
turn. It Is where the 'bird in hand" repre-
sented by small and comparatively sure profits, is
moro valuable than 1.-TWO In the bush," represented
by future and uncertain There was . steady
but moderate gain in the general list Of prices.
Among the most conspicuous stocks to advance was
Reading which rose here. first the strength Of
London quotations and second on purchases In our
own market Az we'll IS can be learned the de-
mand for stock is based upon some projected
alliance with the Atlantic and Great Western road
by which new through line will be opened to the
West On the London market the different securi-
ties of the Atlantic and Great Western road have ad
vanced materially. probably for the reason given
above. One Of those meteoric upward blasts, which.
long intervals. recorded in Wall street history
was to-day in the extraordinary advance in the
Edison Electric Light stock. Selling month or two
back at 500 or 5000 per share. the price reached
$4,000 share to-day. at which rate sales were made.
and there was nothing Offering at the close under
$1,000 per share. The closing prices OF the stock
