On the 18th Of January, 1866, a collier brig

But lot us 500 II the people gain even
this paltry sum. The freight and re-
tailer's commission Is Gu. down to u

duction will render it Improbable for
retailers to handle school books except
in very largo quantities in populous dis.
tricts such as Wheeliug-and such pop
uIous districts arc usually independon,
school diatricts, and hence not affected
by the school book bill. SO 1t is highly
probable that tho school children in the
majority OF the public school districts
will 20 without school books unless sup.
piled by some makeshiit.
Another false claim mado for tho bill
is that it provides for tho FREQ exchange
OF old books for now. Such, it will be
seen. is not ut all the case since in
most cases only comparatively small
reduction Is made in the price OF the
new books where AL old one is offered
in exchange.
Tho uew measure instead OF being a
relief to tho parents OF the school chill
dren will add much to their burdens, in
the general change OF books, Besides
creating now ones to be saddled onto
the general taxpayer.

that an explanation is due to our host,
and am pleased to make it. We are
approaching the beginning OF a new

New IoEK, March S.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly reviow of trade, which
issues tomorrow. will say:
Congressional adjournment and proof
that though tine rate OF exchange rises
to, and oven above, the shipping point,
gold does not 30 out, have produced a
much better feeling. Prices do not i'm.
prove, aud there is on tho whole no
gain, but some loss in wages, while
strikes OF 1900 coal miners near Pitts
burch and several thousand building
workers here, besides in ten or twelve
textile and iron establishments, further
lessen the purchasing power for the
time. But there Is anticipation OF i'm
proved demand for goods in general,
and many are manufacturing and buy
ing beyond present needs on the
strength OF it. Corn has declined &c,
though receipts arc not half last years,
with exports insignificant. Pork, lard
and hogs arc shade higher, and beef
has advanced to the highest point since
July.
Three causes help the iron industry
for the time: Expectation Of another
great strike at the coke works, reports
that Bessemer lake ore will advance,
and moderate increase in demand for
products. Sales OF Bessemer iron to
three great Pittsburgh com panies, said
to aggregate l25, 900 tons, protect them
against the change in ore. and the out.
put OF coke, over 10000 tons, and
SHIPMENTS larger than ever, seem to
prepare Tor strike. The increase in
the demand is, on the whole, small,
much OF it due to the building through
out the country and some to better
orders for sheets and wire nails. while
wire rods and plates are in fair de-
mand, but prices have not advanced.
Common bar is shade stronger at
Pittsburgh. and finished products are
less shaded at Philadelphia, while at
Chicago a better demand is seen in
most branches.
Copper has been depressed by COM
petition to Ole for lake, and lead is Of
fcred more freely at lc. while Ameri-
can makers OF tin plate arc putting
prices somewhat lower than those vi
similar import plates.
Strikes to resist the rcduc,ioni OF
wages in several textile works, and re-
auctions effected in some others, BY no
means contradict tho accounts that the
mills are receiving somewhat better
ordcrs.
Prices OF goods arc very low, and
print cloths have fallen TO 2.iGc, below
any former record.
In WOODEN goods tho initial demand
for heavy weights is nearly over, with
fairly good bushes, in some lines, but
only moderate IN others. while contin.
ucd and numerous cancellations in low
grade and medium grades give makers
much embarrassment.
Money markets havo hardened some
what and rather moro commercial pa.
per is offered, especially in dry goods.
Failures for tho week have been 234
in the United States against 2iS last
year, and IS in Canada against 60 last
year.
