NEW HAVEN. CONN.
NOTES OF THE MARKETS..
NEW HAVEN, CONN.


Notes of yesterdays markets from
Cuthbert & Co.'S wires are as follows:
Wheat developed further weakness in
the early trading to-day and declined
y per cent. in sympathy with the early
Liverpool cables reporting futures
there Id lower; but later the market
turned firm on the development of a
better export demand and the closing
Liverpool cables showing that all the
recovered.
The tone at the close was firm, with
prices at the highest, Is net advance for
May and q for July, compared with
yesterdays closing.
Cotton was bought and bid up by To-
cal traders to-day, and closed firm at
the advance. The factors which slim
ulated the improvement were an adj
vance of 2.64d in futures at Liverpool,
with spot sales increased there to 12-
900 bales; firmer southern spot markets,
moderate receipts and absence of sell
ing pressure, all of which encouraged
the bulls to support the market
The stock market to-day was domi-
mated by the news from Washington
in regard to the action taken by the
senate on the Cuban question. While
it is not likely that President Cleve-
land may be moved by the senate to
deviate from the policy of non-inter-
vention, which he has pursued all
along with regard to Cuba, it is the
general opinion that the new admins
tration will be compelled to act in the
matter.

western Miller reports the flour out

STATE NORMAL IN REBELL1oN
Won't Make Vertical Pothooks in
Their Copybooks, so There!

According to the complaints which
have been received by the state SUPER
lntendent, Prof. w c. Stevenson of the
/ state Normal at Emporia has refused
TO adopt the vertical style of penmau-
ship in the school and is teaching the
system of slant writing which he him
seIf prepared and sought to have adopt-
ed by the state school text book com
mission.
Professor Stevenson came to ToneIza
and before the members of the commits
Ison declared that he would not teach
vertical writing There vas an iDta-.
estlng controversy between the prO-
Iessor and the state superintendent bur
the matter was patched up and Steven
son was supposed to have agreed to
accept the adoption of the commission.
It is also alleged in complaints which
are coming to the state superintendent
that the faculty of the normal school
is not using some of the text books
adopted The complaints state that
unless the state superintendent takes
hold of the matter that step will be
taken to bring the board of regents
10 time through mandamus proceedings
in the courts.

THE BEST WAY OUT.
Committee of Fifteen and the Floral
Com ittee's Deficit.


The question of paying the bills con-
tracted by Mrs. c. S. Sutton. chairman
of the Fail Festival Floral committee.
has not yet been passed upon by the
Committee of Fifteen, but will proba-
bly, be disposed of at its next meeting.
The original deficit amounted to 81
Z4|.33, but it has been reduced to about
$1VUO- The greater part of the deficit
is due Topeka merchants.
The Committee of Fifteen can scarce
~ aItord to turn down this bill partic-
uIarly that due the merchants and it is
not believed that it will do So The
feature of the Fail Festival which at
tracted as much attention as anything
else, was the Queen and her Court
1t pleased the thousands who saw if
and Mrs. Sutton is responsible for that
beautiful feature, expensive as it was
II more money was spent than was
anticipated by Mrs. Sutton. that can
not be helped. She gave her time and
energy and much of her own money 70
the Fall Festival and it seems unchiv-
alrOuS and unmanly for anyone to SIG
geSt that she should be left with these
ties.
Some method must be devised for
paying them, and whatever the step
the Committee of Fifteen takes in that
direction, will meet the approval Of ev-
eryone.
There are some things about the FAN
F estival that are unpleasant, as there is
about every public entertainment got
ten up in every city in the country.
Other cities keep these matters ouiet
but Topeka shouts all her Fail Festival |
troubles from the hOusetOps. Now that
the facts are public property, it seems |
proper to discuss them. Every season ]
able bill of the Fall Festival should be /
paid this time Next time other and |
more rigid provision should be made !
for looking after expenses.

NJ. a. Low Of the Rock Island and A.

St. Petersburg, Oct. pa terrible
casualty has taken place at the village
of Khnieloff, in the Kozeloff district,
on the western coast of the Crimea.
While service was in progress in the
village church an alarm of fire was
raised. A panic ensued in the crowded
congregation and the efforts of the Off
ciating priests to calm the tumult were
unavailing. In the stampede for the
exists, 81 persons were killed by suffO-
cation and 50 others seriously injured.
