The DRY Goods Market.

AS compared with o week ago, says the Dry
Goods Economist New York;, there has been q
large increase in the volume Of business COM
pleted. 1t has been done, but not in the desired
quarter. The demand of jobbers has been
largely due to statesmen on the road. still the
sales referred to have chiefly been those at auc-
ton, and the larger movement OF cotton goods
by agents and manufacturers. Weather and
temperature have not favored spring and sum-
mer goods.
The labor question has been adjusted to q
large extent, as capital has yielded from neces-
sity. On the other hand. storms and floods
have wrought much damage in some localities.
The feature of the week has been the large auc-
ton sales.
Cotton has been less active for contracts and a
small decline in price causeda sympathetic de-
crease in the price of the spot article. The
European markets are relatively dearer than
this with the daily sales OF good average guam
tity.
Cotton goods have been doing better in sales
and prices. With the cost of cotton so COM
paratively high and values for goods so low,
business has been restricted, as sellers will not
make contracts for futures, except at positive
advance, which buyers have not been prepared
to concede.
Wool has developed more hrmness to quota
tons, and because of light supplies OF desirable
qualities prices are slightly dearer, with the tone
of the markets showing an upward tendency.
Wooden goods have been in uneven demand
for moderate to small quantities, but good sales
have been completed through numerous for
wardings in furtherance of contracts for autumn
As the season draws to a close 1t IS becoming
more apparent that the volume of business done
is little, IL any, behind that of last year.
Auction sales have been of increased magni-
tude, both in the character of the offerings and
the volume of sales. Package and retail buyers
have been present in large numbers, and fairly
good prices have been realized.
Silk goods have not shown much improve
ment this week. Foreign silks are especially
weak and prices in some lines are unsettled.
Raw silk is unchanged, European prices being
frmer. while the news concerning the new crop
is not sufficiently important to affect the market
either way.
Linens have been dull, buyers showing much
unwillingness to operate, and the average week
ly movement is of smaller proportions than it
was at this time last year.
In imported goods the market generally mas
woolens and worsteds slow, dress goods fairly
active, laces active, embroideries quiet, ribbons
quiet, except velvet sorts, and velvets good.

The ciassen Trial.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-In the Classen
trial yesterday Bank Examiner Hepburn
explained his refusal to accept as good
collateral certain checks upon the
Equitable and Lenox Hill banks. Wit
ness then gave detailed account of an
unexpected visit OF Cashier oulson.
When he informed HIM that
some bonds had been disposed
of he stated that If instead of checks
greenbacks to the same amount had been
rendered the bank would have been SOL
vent. Replying to the question as to
why he closed the Sixth Avenue national
bank, witness said it was because of an
$50, 600 deficit. The surplus of S448 600
was gone, the capital of 5000, 200 was
gone, and there was due about $50, 900.
Besides, other testimony was taken as
to the disposition OF certain checks drawn
by C1assen and others.

The School Book Trust.
Kanaas Civ Globe

The school book trust recently
formed by which four of the leading
school book publishing houses of the
east propose to supply all the school
books hereafter to be used In the
schools of the United States is q trust
that needs looking after with jealous
care. The object of the trust Is pro-
claimed to be q very disinterested and
patriotic one. Nothing less than q
burning desire on the part OF the pub
fishers who form the trust to supply
the children of the United States with
cheap school books. In order TO make
the trust successful il will be necessary
for their publications to be adopted
for exclusive use in the public schools
of all the states, which will be practi-
cally ending all progress In the hitherto
fruitful field of text book making, for
q series of books once thoroughly in
troduced into u state 10 to all intents
and purposes giving that state over to
one series of books for q generation.
No matter how desirable change may
be, experience in several states has
demonstrated that change cannot be
made for the reason that the people
who are compelled to purchase an en-
tire new series of books never forget
what they cannot help feeling was
needless expense. Methods Of teach
ing are changing every year and text
books that are arranged with reference
to present methods may be entirely
out of date In three or five years. In
that event these same publishers will
revamp their old text books, introduc-
ing just enough to make 1t necessary
for scholars 10 purchase the book Of
the ''new SERIES" but retaining 90
much Of the matter and form Of the
old that they will really be no better.
This book trust is gigantic scheme
for money making at the expense Of
our educational system. II the stale
desires to do anything more for our
public schools than 1t is now doing let
Il provide for text books for all our
schools.

1RL r. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET,

IRL r. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET.
The following taken from the "storm
chart" for 1890 Of Rev. Irl r. Hicks OF
St. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
MAY.
The first two or three days of May
will be cloudy and wet and will be
followed up to the reactionary moder-
alton about the 9th, by cool days and
nights with hard frosts in many parts
of the country. Be prepared. The
equinoxes of both Mercury and Vul-
can fall ON. the 18th, hence expect
about the 18th, 18th, 18th and 14th a
succession of hard storms. Tornadoes
at this time will be the natural result.
Be on the lookout should angry, cleo
trical clouds gather about these days.
Late frosts to the northwald will come
after the storms of this period. Earth
quakes probable. Secondary disturb
ances about the 18th. The equinox OF
Mars falls OH the 26th and will inten-
sify the storm period from the 2lst to
26th. This may be counted danger
period. Watch the 23d, oath and 25th.
Storms about the 30th.

We see that the Olathe high school
has instituted a reform that deserves
to be initiated. BY order of the school
board neither flowers nor presents OF
any kind were allowed to be received
on the platform by the graduates dur
TTPV ing the exercises. The rea-
WATER son for this course is patent
QUEEN to almost everyone. Time
eSA& was when the presentation
OF bOquet of flowers to an academic
or college graduate meant something.
II was taken, not for special individ-
nal, but for the most deserving. Now
it is quite different. They are ar.
ranged for favorite ones, and some
times the most deserving receive the
least recognition, and perhaps none at
all because of their humble station.
In short the custom has degenerated
into farce aud the sooner Il is dis
continued the better. Il borders on
the ridiculous to have q relay of girls
with trays going up and down the
aisles gathering cart loads of bOquets
without any reference TO the excellence
of the person to receive them. The
action of the Olathe schO0l board is to
be commended and we hope others
will s.foliOw suit" % .i....,.
