Lack of schoolhouse Room.

At the opening Of the public schoo.
year in New York city it was found
That there were 80, 600 children apply
ing for entrance who could not get in.
There was not schoolbouse room for
them. They are thus left to roam the
streets and become vagabonds and Grim
inals when they and their parents really
desire that they should become intelli-
gent citizens. II there is n right a
child has, it is to secure a good common
school education. 1t is as much n hu-
man beings right as light and air and
water are his right. When a child is
turned away from school because there
is not desk room for it, it is a sign there
is something atrociously wrong.
New York city is by III means alone
in this criminal lack Of schoolhouse
room. The like condition exists to a
greater or less degree in many OF the
larger cities. 1t is not the fault of the
school authorities. They have used all
the money they had to build houses as
rapidly as they could. We have men
toned the fact in order to show that
here is the opportunity Of their lives for
men of wealth. Instead of spending
$50, 900 or 800. 900 for a tomb or o
ument, let them make their home cities
a present of a schoolhouse and leave a
monument that will be imperishable. In
the nam Of humanity and civilization,
let the coming American citizen have a
chance to learn to read and write.

Ballcfin No. II cf the miscellaneous

numbers and values of farm animals
decreased steadily AID rapidly. in 1889
tie v.luo was s., 9 ,060. Us. In 1890
the fr-t symptoms Of decline began, tie
year, of the Barring failure, though what
connection that event could have with
live stock in the United States is not
clear. The value has teen going down
irregrlarly ever since. During 1892 and
1898 it rose feebly, only to drop more
rapidly than before. In 1894 it fell
more than 800, coo, 900; in 1895 over
1918, coo, 600. For 1886 the value is tho
smallest in 16 years. The principal
losses'have fallen on horses, mules and
sheep. Horses alone have fallen off
s113, 15G, $50 since 1880. Their number
is, however, greater than it was then,
although hat has declined heavily since
1893. The same is true of mules. OF all
animals, cattle-milk COWS and beeves
are the only ones hat show a good
advance in value since 1880, although
these, too, have fallen off greatly in
the past two years. On the whole, 1895

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, July 31.-Sugar stock
was the pivot of to-day's speculation
and figured for 90, 500 shares out of
aggregate dealings of about 200, 900
shares. The greater proportion of the
business was transacted in the after
noon operations. The course of prices
was irregular until the last hour,
when decided strength was manifested
under the leadership of Sugar. Traders
were disappointed at the failure of
London prices TO respond to the rally
that had been in progress at the close
here yesterday and initial features
were shaded fractionally. There was
practically no news bearing upon the
market aside from slight but unquo-
table stitfening in actual rates for
long bills of exchange. About 1 o'clock
Sugar was again taken in hand on
very large orders and an advance was
engineered in it to 1885, a gain of 25s
per cent from the lowest point. The
other shares again fell in line and eX-
treme recoveries took place in the
later dealing, ranging from 1 to 3 per
cent, the last in Lackawanna.
Near the close prices shaded off
slightly on realizations and a rise in
call money to three per cent. The list
genefaliy le1t OH Stfon8 with SlgnU
gains. The railway and miscellaneous
bond market presented but few fea-
lures of interest, although decided
strength was noted in some of the
bonds receivership properties. The
sales were $4,000.
Governments advanced sharply on
investment purchases of $4,000.
