RESOLUTIONS S OF RESPECT
JOSEPH KAHN,


Upon the reorganization of the Market Street
School, the following resolutions of respect
were adopted by the pupils of Room No. 2, in
remembrance of their little schoolmate
JOSEPH KAHN:
RESOLVED, That we have met and missed
from among US one whose noble heart and
generous nature had endeared him to both
teachers and pupils.
RESOLVED, That by ambitious energy and
untiring. application, he had far surpassed all
pupils Of his own age.
RESOLVED, That save few childish faults,
which "assail the best of us, despite our
prayers" the tongue of the past can ring out
naught against him, save his true fidelity.
RESOLVED, That we, in body, visit his
grave, each bringing bunch of simple dow
ers, so swestly typical of life's decay, "to
crown the poor frail dust that sleeps below"
Thus love leads memory still,
To prove at graves love- 5 Immortality.

Flour is firm but unchanged in price,
and wheat in the Western markets is
steady and unchanged. Oats are firm
and a shade higher. Hay shows some
advance on better classes, but poor
grades are nominal. The receipts tor
the week have been 1900 SKIS oats and
100 bales hay. Whisky is firm and
unchanged, while sugar, coffee, mo-
lasses and rice are the same as they
were a week ago. We have not had
a drop of rain here during the week,
nor indeed for two weeks, and the
country south, in both hill and valley,
is very dry, with the crops suffering
in many localities. Showery areas are
reported to the eastward, and southern

A sharp advance in Tennessee State
securities occurred during the past
week in New York. The price had
been dragging along slowly at 70 to 7lc,
when upon Chancellor Merritt's
action, which sends the taxpayers in
junction before the Supreme Court Of
the State for final adjudication next
winter, or later, prices forged upward
aud closed Saturday evening at 70 to
75i. Spectators appear to be willing
to take the chances with this class Of
securities. They are doubtless better
than the railway aid bonds OF our Ar
kansian neighbors, which have recent
ly gone up to 10000, having been
down to BIC few months ago.
The Treasurer at Washingtonissued
a circular last Tuesday, announcing
that the government will forward by
mail in multiples of $500 free to con-
signes, standard dollars or fractional
silver, for deposits of gold coin or cur
rency, or remittances to Washington.
The government will also pay express
charges on worn or mutilatsd legal
tenders sent to the United States
! treasury in multiplcs of $500, and on
Cthe new notes returned.

and without especial interest, Capt.

being 6 per cent. Exchange has ruled
