THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, May 22.-The conditions
intoday's stock market were essentially
different from those prevailing for sew
eral days past. There was a marked
under current of strength through the
whole list and the tendency of prices
was interruptedly upwards with the
exception of the coalers, but this failed
to incite an outside participation in
the market and the dealings were small
and most of them in a few active
stocks. The market wholly lacked
breadth, many stocks in the equally
active list having not a single transac-
ton to their credit. The total sales
of stocks today were 54,574.

AFFECTS SCHOOL BOARDS.
Judge Bennett Decides Sections of
Acts Devoid,

Wilkes-Barre, May 23.-Judge Ben
nett handed down an important opin-
ion Saturday morning in the quo war;
ranto proceedings against the Pittston
school controllers, and if he is sustained
in the higher court it will abolish the
office of school controller. The contest
was to settle the question whithe" the
city of Pittston is entitled to two school
controllers from each of the eleven
wards comprising the city, or be gov
erned by six controllers, elected at
large throughout the city,
The proceeding was brought at the
suggestion of District Attorney Fell,
and calls into question the constitu-
tionality of section Al of the act of
May 23, 1874 and Of the amending acts
of June, 1891. 1t is alleged that the
acts are unconstitutional, because they
are local class legislation. Judge Ben
nett, in his opinion, sustained this view
of the matter, and it affects all third
class cities in the state not governed by
special legislation passed prior to an
upsetting of the methods in vogue as
to school government.
