FINANCE & COMMERCE.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, May 2, SS3.-Business
and collections, generally speaking, dur
ing the past week have been rather below
what was expected. This condition is
generally attributed by dealers to the fact
that the season for farmers has been rather
backward and they are consequently en-
- gagged in seeding operations. The lulI in
business is slight though and only tempo
rary. With settled weather and clear skys
will come rush. TIE fruit business con-
tinues very active indeed, and the supply
Is large and varied. In groceries, hard
ware and general merchandise trade has
been fair, of course, larger and heavier
than during the same period last year, but
not up to the increase expected. The sup
ply Of cattle is rather better than it was
last week, and prices have been reduced
a little. Choice steers that have been
heretofore quoted at $6.50@7 are now
quoted at SG.25lL lL6.75. Hogs are higher
Mess pork has advanced. Eggs during the
week have hactuated Il good deal and
closed on the board of trade yesterday at
14c bid and 15c as the asking
price. The price at the commits
sion houses is 15c. Groceries have
been fairly active, and while there are no
important chaI es to note in quotations
there were eood many variations of
minor character in the figures which
can be found noted below. Choice butter
is scarce and in good demand but all other
grades are slow. The demand for dry
goods has slightly increased. Hats, caps
and clothing are meeting with gradually
increasing demand. In hardware trade is
very good and collections are fair. Axes
have declined SOC. There is new list on
stubs and taper files, the discount being
the same as on old list. Owing to the in
creased duty on many foreign goods there
will be an advance on them. Boots and
shoes, finished iron and steel and leath-
er are without change Lumber is with
out change and enjoys very lively de-
mand. In drugs, paints, ola, ETC., trade
has been fair. Gum opium, hemp seed,
canary seed and carbon oil have declined
slightly. Flour is quiet. Hides remain
rather weak The grain market through
out the week has been dull Wheat has
held up, pretty solid and closed yesterday
at $1.11 for the bidding or cash price and
S1.14 for the asking. Corn has been dull.
Oats were rather mo- active. Rye has
been dull. Barley is il some demand and
very quiet. Mill stuTs steady. Grass
seeds are all firm. Hay firm and in good
demand Oranges are in good demand
and firm on quotations. In financial mat
ters there is no change to note. Money
continues close, collections rather slow,
with fair counter in business.

Teaching the Love of Money,
New York Tribune.)

Something new in education has been
attempted in Western city where the Su-
perintendent of Schools has undertaken
the establishment of system of trade and
tenance among the pupils. The children
are trained in the arts of making money,
and taking care of it. They are encour-
aged to earn an honest penny in all possi-
bic ways-by blacking boots, selling news
papers, making small marketable articles,
ETC.; and they have bank for the care and
management Of their accumulations. The
object apparently is not that they may
earn their education, but that they may be
taught the value of money, the importance
of thrift, and the mysteries of commerce.
We are not surprised to hear that the boys
take to the scheme kindly. 1t is said that
their books are not neglected; on the con-
trary, increased diligence in study seems
to result from the general spirit of rivalry
awakened at the touch of trade. The lad
who has got ahead of his companions in a
mercantile transaction at half past is still
in an emulous mood when he enters the
class room at 9. Altogether the schools
are lively.
The children-but, God save US! are
there any more children? Are these pre-
whom fathers used to take upon their knee,
finding in their simple prattle refreshment
of heart after the depressing contests of
the busy day? Are these the models of
meekness, docility, purity and trustfulness
upon whom the Master laid his sacred
hands when he bade us become like little
children? Bankers in round jackets, boys
who have discarded Robinson Crusoe for
fha ri ia
tables for the Arabian Nights, they seem
to be in fair way to initiate the lawyer in
the Battle of Life by changing the old rule,
"Do as you would be done by," into the
improved modern maxim, 'Do, or you will
be done brown" And what terrible sbarps
they promise to be when they rise from the
petty operation of the playground to the
serious bargaining, selling, buying, lend
ing, discounting, note-shaving, bulling
bearing, and cornnering for which their
instructors are now giving them such
practical preparation. They ought to be
shrewd enough in few years to get the
better of a Chatham street clothing
dealer.
If there is anything which American
children have no need to be taughtEit is the
Importance of money getting. That is a
lesson tney learn soon enough by mlser-
able experience. The haste to be rich, in
the opinion of most observers, is our great
National fault. This is the cause of our
instability and recklessness in trade, our
laxity of financial morals, the frequency
of our embezzlements and breaches of
trust, the gross dishonesty of cur govern
ments, the bold rObberies of our public
officers, our wild license, of speculation,
our vulgar taste for display, our low stand
ard of vulgar in all lhings, material, intel
lectual, and religious. And there could
hardly be more striking illustration of
the base mercenaiy spirit which IS destroy
ing US than the fact that Superintendent
OF public schools thinks it Is praisewor-
thy action to teach the love of money to
children predestined hy inherited taint or
by National example 20 love it only too
soon and too well.

Wicked for Clergymen.

81 believe it to be all wrong and even wick
ed for clergymen or other public men to be led
into giving testimonials to luack doctors OF
patent medicines, but when a really meritorious
article composed of valuable remidies known
to all, and that all physicians use and trust in
daily, we should freely commend it, | there
fore cheerfully and heartily commend Hop Bit
ters for the good they have done me and my
friends, firmly believing that they have 70 equal
for family use. will not be without them.
Rev. b. R, Washington, d. G..
good Baptist clergyman of Bergan, N. Y,
a@@strong temperance man, suffered with kidney
trouble, neuralgia and dizziness almost to
blindness, over two years after he was ad-
yised that Hop Bitters would cure him, because
he was afraid of and prejudiced against the
word ''bitters.'' Since his cure he SAYS none
need fear but trust in Hop Bitters.
My wife and daughter were made healthy by
the use of Hop Bitters and 1 recommend them
to my people.-Methodist Clergyman, Mexico,
