Business Transacted and Prices Paid at Home

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Todays stock
market was dull AND professional. and
prices narrow and irregular with one or
two exceptions. Lower London prices and
profit taking caused declines at the open
ing, but full recoveries occurred later un-
der the leadership of sugar and Manhat-
tan. The only influence of specific char
acter was the bank statement which had
been anticipated unfavorably. 1t showed

hailed with satisfaction by the owners and
holders of securities and at intervals the
bears who had been flushed with their
successes in depressing prices encountered
adroit ard aggressive manipulation by
large representative banking Interests and
were signally defeated. A feature was
the execution of reinvestment orders in
some of the high-priced stocks and bonds:
Trading at the outset was characterized
by decided weakness. The lowest prices
in the recent movement was recorded in a
number of stocks. The bond market today
was depressed on light offerings. The
weeks market showed decided strength
on a subsistence of liquidation and pur-
chases by local and foreign investors. The
higher priced issues ruled at improved fig

recorded in them. The sales were S. 013, 900.

Mills College, California,
September 8, 1895
Editor of DISPATCH.
Dear Sir:-The sim lent his gladden..
ing rays. this beautiful Sunday afternoon
to the fragrant flowers, creeping. vines
and stately pines and palms.
Here and there among thu bushes, in
the ~hamniocks, or strolling along The
brooksihe paths may be seen groups Of
white-robed maidens, ~''tleesing me time
carelessly az they did in the golden
world" for this is the, day OF rest.
Yesterday all day long, they pored
over Greek, Latin. English and trigo-
monterey, till they mastered tie work as
signed ior the irst day Of the next busy
week.
Yonder, under the willow tree are a
group OF Wadsworth girls. There is
Bessie now a %se'late aud charming young
lady, by her side is Zne, meek and mild.
her cheeks already glow with the Mills
tint Of health, Beulah, with her ever
bright and sunny disposition, and May,
the eaipe. quiet and attractive little Miss
are there too. Z From the peaIs Of merry
laughter one wonld judge Lottie-sweet
girl-with her ever ready, wit is relating
some of her boarding house pranks, or
for instance, of her falling from the BIZ
cycle in the Golden Gate Park.
Those girls are sure Wordsworth must
have been thinking Of Wadsworth when
he wrote: >
How dear to my heart are the scenes Of my
~. childhood,
When fond recollections present them to view"
But, Mr.. Editor. this is not-the motive
OF. this informal letter. 1t is rather to
tell You something Of Mills as a school.
We wish people would cease speaking OF
it az II seminary, for Mile il, u State
Institution, incorporated asa colleges in
1855. The old seminary course with
notifications is still retained, but is sub
ordinate to college work. 81. ..,,s
The growing tendency of education
toward college work az seen in the uni
yersities has had its influence here and
this school now offers to Young ladies a
splendid four years course OF study in
the classics and in literature, ut the
completion Of which the Bachelor
Degrees are conferred, as to students in
the universities. OF course there are no
students here of law, Of dentistry, OF OF
medicine, for this is a college, not u uni
versity.
We have the advantage of an expert
enced f~acnlty-some OF thu members
having travelled and studied abroad,
Those who want to be convinced oil
the standard Of our school, we invite to
come and examine our'course Of study.
Splendid advantages are also. offered in
music, art, elocutlon and physical. Gull
ture. "Fsti -:
We cordially invite any OF our Wadl
worth friends to visit is twhen the, OPP
portunity presents itself in this our
delightful home. Here We have. ont
hundred and twenty acres in oui
grounds, thousands of ad-rs, acacias ano
