The Local Monetary Situation Satisfactory
From Every Point of View.
There was not even symptom of excitement
in the local money market yesterday London
and Wall street troubles we're completely
ignored, but even from those centers of dis
turbance the news was reassuring, and the i'm
preston was that the storm had spents its
force.
People entitled to credit at the banks readily
obtained all the funds they wanted, but float
ers, those who apply only occasionally for as
sistance. received very little encouragement.
This conservative course is always safe. but
more so now than usual, since the first duty of
the banks is to regular customers representing
established interests which must be protected
at all hazards

A Few Things Let Go, but Better Feeling
All Round.
At the opening of the stock market yesterday
the feeling was little Offish as shown by the
abundance of selling orders, but there was a
buyer for every seller, and this impaired more
strength than had been expected in view of the
sensational events of Saturday. Electric, Cen
trail Traction and Philadelphia Gas went off a
uuint or so each. but there were no other i'm
purtant changes. Advlces from London and
New York in the afternoon, representing an
Improvement in the situation at those centers
impaired confidence to the local crowd, and at
the close comparatively buoyant feeling pre-
vailed.

Mr.. NJ. F. Nipple furnished bit Of interest
ing news yesterday. He said:
Il am dckering with a Boston capitalist,
who is now in Pittsburg, for piece of land in
the East Ind. If he gets it. and think he will,
he will build number of brick dwellings of
good class for sale and rent. He is thoroughly
experienced in the business, having built
several hundred houses IN Boston, and has the
cost down to point.
In talking with him this morning he told
me the building business had been overdone in
Boston, there being more houses than occu-
pants, and in casting about for new field OF
activity he had selected PitIsburg as being the
most promising In the country. He had heard
that houses were scarce here, and after per-
soual investigation stated that such was the
TACT. He thinks he will find prompt sale for
al he can build.'
This accession of outside capital and enter
prise. if the project shall materialize will not
only go to relieve positive want, but 1t Will
likely str up local capitalists and builders to
sense of ihe duty which they owe to the city
where they have made their money.

are informed that combinations have
been made by book publishers. The
consequence will be that they will get
their own prices for them without
competitor. Intelligent printers al
firm that such book as those that are
now used in the schools can be fur
nished by the State at less than half
the price that is paid for them. When
it is considered that there are at least
10000 country and city schools in the
State, and scholastic population in
December, 1888, of over 100000, the
saving to the people would certainly
be an important object. The State
has already tried the experiment of
having the laws, and the decisions of
our high courts of last resort publish
ed, and they are now furnished to
those who want them at half the price
formerly paid for them. Surely, we
have educators competent to make
school books, if they were properly
paid for it. There are other consider
atoms beside that OF expense, too
obvious to require express men
ton, why Texas parents would and
should prefer for their children to be
taughtSSin Texas-made school books.
In conclusion, whatever views have
been here presented in regard to the
support, management and teaching
in any and all of the schools of the
State, should be taken as suggestive
only in order to add my mite of coun-
sci for their improvement, if they or
any of them should meet with the APP
probation of those who have influence
and control upon the subject. They
are not offered in the spirit of under
rating what has been done for the
schools-far from it. For the grand
progress of the cause of education dur
ing the ten or twelve years past in
Texas marks new era in its history
and gives promise in the future of
placing it on an equality with the
most favored states in the educa-
tional advantages of its people.
