Hon. 0. H. Cooper yesterday made
the following ruling;
Schools in which sectarian in
struction is given after the children
have been sent to school in the morn
ing, and before the children have been
returned to their homes in the even
ing, are sectarian within the meaning
of the constitution and statute, al
though the instruction may have been
given outside of the seven hours spec
flied in the law at school day and
may not have been given in the
school building. Children are under
the teachers jurisdiction from the
time they reach the school until they
are returned to their homes.

manufacturers evincing more inclination to
do business. Prices are rather in buyers
favor. Since January the decline in some
descriptions ranges from 4 to cent. Raw
cotton is Ito cent higher on good demand
and slightly smaller crop movement.
Primary raw sugar markets have been
harder on restricted offerings and more
urgent purchasing orders. NJ LIGHT esti-
mates total beet crop of 2,753, 600, against
2, ,433, ,607 tons (actuaD last year. Cuban
crop estimates have declined and Brazilian
holders are firm. Prices here were about
1-16 cent higher. Refined has been steady.
Refined at San Francisco is e cent lower;
at New Orleans raw is 1 cent higher and
firm on low stocks.
Wheat has been irregular and lower, with
speculative influences paramount, infu-
enced in part by reports of Unexpectedly
larger supplies of reserve wheat in Michi-
gan. Exports from both coasts this week
aggregate (including -four as wheat) $685.
594 bushels, against 610, ,277 bushels last
week and 247 ,251 bushels in the like week
of 1888. Speculative dealings in Brazilian
coffee here and abroad have increased, tend
ing to force up the price, though European
cables late this week have had counter in
fluence. Attention is attracted to short
Brazilian crop rumors, owing to bad
weather and other conditions.
Business failures reported to Brddstreet's
number 243 in the United States this week,
against 302 last week and 205 this week last
year. Canada had 81 this week, against 81

in the United States from January to date
is 2, ,727, against 9, S17 in 1888.

IRON is BECOMING FIRMER,
But Other Features Are Generally Dull,
With Large Stocks on Hand.


With Large Stocks on Hand.
NEW YORK, March 1.-R. G. Dun &Co. s
weekly review of trade saws:
Traders who have been waiting through be-
lated season for the expected winter trade find
that it does not come, and spring has arrived.
Hence there are on hand large stocks of un-
used winter goods, which account for the tardi-
ness of collections in many quarters and for
the general sense of disappointment At fully
half the interior points which report this week
there is noted fairly good trade or some i'm
provement
Pittsburg observes an advance of 25 cents in
some kinds of pig iron, and better inquiry for
manufactured in many FORMS Greater strength
is also observed at Cleveland. Philadelphia
notes most cautious dealing in drygoods, a
frmer market for leather, and slow market
with tardy collections for drugs and chemicals.
As to collections, Omaha alone reports i'm
provement. The money markets are every
where amply supplied for legitimate business.
The manufacturers are buying more freely of
leather, and for hemlock, prices are half a cent
lower.
Rubber is firm at 641z for parafine The an
thracite coal trade is stagnant. The output
thus far this year has been 302 3l9 tons against
4.753 $50 last year. The accumulation of coal at
Port Richmond is represented as greater than
at any other time for 80 years. In the minor
metals severe attack on the copper syndicate
at London caused a fall not followed here; and
TIN is little stronger at 2lH, with lead frmer
at $40 cents per pound. 1t is thought at Phila-
delphia that the iron market is firmer. The
market for bar iron is very unsatisfactory and
scanty, and no improvement in rails is SEEN
AtNew York, No foundry continues to be Of
fered at very low figures, and a pressure to sell
wire rods is noticed, but sales of 900 tons of
rails make that market frmer and it is stated
that the allotment will be readjusted April /.
Wheat is 15c lower at 975Sc, corn unchanged
at 4zc and oats Sc stronger at 3054c. Pork is
steady. Lard a shade lower. Hogs a quarter
higher. Lower prices are noted for butter and
cheese, but oil is &c stronger at 9l15c. coffee
&c higher at lS1sc, and cotton l-l6 higher at
$40 IS for middling uplands. Figures indicate
that the excess of imports over exports for
February, may be 1000 900 or more, against over
lO,OO0.OOO last year. Foreign exchange remains
steady. During the past week the stock mar
ket has virtually done nothing and prices are,
on the whole, unchanged. The Treasury has
put out 81, ,9O0, 900 more cash than it has taken
in during the week, and owing to the large pen
sion payments probably closes the month with
a lower cash balance, and larger volume of
currency in circulation, than at the end of jan
uary. Meanwhile the general course of prices
for commodities has tended upward slightly for
the past week.
The business failures number 232 as COM
pared with 20 last week and 2S9 the week
previous. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures were IA.

miles from Cincinnati by rail, or

is in the largest continuous district
of natural gas-bearing land in the
world-a district which has been
developed and tested by hundreds
of gas wells, demonstrating beyond
all doubt that the gas supply is in
exhaustible, and Its quality for fuel
and illumination unsurpassed. The
gas wells now in use at Portland
have an output of over 100000
cubic feet daily, and this supply
may be increased ad inhnitum.
The Grand Rapids and Indiana
Railroad and the Lake Erie and
Western Railroad give Portland a
north, south, east and west outlet.
The county is one of the richest
agricultural and stock-raising coun-

Cardinal Gibbons Advice.

In his latest book, "0ur Christian
Heritage. Cardinal Gibbons has
chapter on the dignity Of labor, in
which he lays down the following five
rules for the attainment Of happiness:
i Cultivate a spirit of industry,
without which all the appliances Of
organized labor are nnayailing. A
life OF patient industry is sure to be
blessed with competence, if il is
not crowned with AN abundant remun-
Grafton. The majority of our leading
men Of wealth are indebted for their
fortunes 10 their own industry. Take
AN active personal, conscientious in
teresi in the business Of your employ
cr. aud the more You contribute to its
success the better he can afford TO
compensate you for your services. He
will b impelled to requite you with
! generous hand
.. Foster habits of economy and
,clf.deuial. No matter how modest
your income may be, always live un.
der IL You will thus protect your
liberty and business integrity and
guard yourself against the slavery Of
debt.
I 2. While honestly striving to bet.
tor your condition be content with
your station in life, and do not yield
to an inoriina;e desire Of abandoning
your present occupation for what is
popularity regarded as more attrac
tive vocation. A fevcrish ambition
TO accumulate a fortune, which may
be called our national distemper, il
Incompatible with peace Of mind
4. sobricty will be an angel q
tranquility comfort to yourself ano
family.
3. Above all, let religion be th'
queen Of Your household, When The
evening % life has come and you
earthly labors are drawing to close
it will cheer You with the bright pros
meet Of an eternal Sabbath.
