The Dallas News says; ''There is no doubt that free school education should be made more practical in some respects than it is at present. In the common schools more attention should be paid to indut trial education and less atentIon to languages, higher mathematics, etc Not that higher mathematics and lan- guages or even the fine arts should be abandoned, not that finished education is undesirable, but because the means now being raised for free school purposes can be expended with better results hy leaving the extra privileges alluded to to be found Tn private institutions and paId for by those who enjoy them In this way more time, teachers and means may be devoted to the practical, much needed lessons of life, which free schools should be required first of all to supply. When our system of public education is finally brought down to most satisfactory basis, free schools will interfere with pri vate institutions much less than they do now. The state should de7ote its funds especially to practical education

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.

Wheat Market Less Feverish-COrn and
NEW YORK, Dec. S-Bradstreet's re-
port says:
A sensible ouieting of demand in wholesale
lines is reported as the holiday season and the
annual stock-taking periOd approaches. Chief
among the favorable features of the week has
been enlarged inquiry at higher prices for steel
in various FORMS accompanied by advance in
the prices Of sorts most aft acted A CORE
spondingly heavy business has developed in
pig iron and prices show but a slight shading
in the face Of the current immense production.
The wheat market has been less feverish
and prices are practically unchanged from
week ago, while corn, oats and sugar are addi-
tionS to the list of the products showing adj
vances The unsatisfactory outlook for cotton
goods is reflected in reductions in bleached
goods to the lowest point ever reached. while
some cotton yarns show weakness. Anthracite
coal is weak, although production has been cur
tailed and talk Of further restrictions is heard.
With these exceptions the price situation is
Que Of quite exceptional steadineSs.
The approach of the holiday season has in
duced freer realizing on cotton by planters and
others at the south and increased activity is
noticeable in retail lines and among jobbers in
seasonable goods
Business failures show a rather smaller than
usual ante holiday total aggregating 2SS,
against 292 last week, 359 in the week a year
ago, S85 in 1895. 800 in 1894 and 353 in IS93

CANNOT HOPE TO COMPETE.

Cotton Industry Rapidly Shifting from
New England states to the south.
New YORK, Dec. 30. New England
is all flutter over the revelation that
cotton manufacturing in that section
is doomed, and that the industry is rap
idly shifting to the south. Even the
operatives in the mills see the force
of the argument that with the
exceptional advantages of the south
New England cannot hope to COM
pete with the southern manufacturers
much longer, and the chances are that
the proposed general cut of ten per
cent. in wages, affecting nearly 100000
persons, will be accepted. In the mean
time, the operatives, through the Fed
Grafton of Labor, with which they are
affiliated, are seeking to unionize
their brethren in the south, with
view to effecting an equalization in
conditions and wages. This, however,
probably is a hopeless task, as to
acquiesce in the programme of
the New Englanders would check
industry at the south and ultimate
ly work to the disadvantage of the
southern operatives. Manufacturers
of cotton goods in the north are thor
oughly alarmed at the prospect, and
many of the leading factors are cast
ing about in the south for building
locations, thus discounting the newt
able removal to that section.
