ay tomorrow of

and Cotton Exporter will say tomorrow of
the wool trade:
The market developed considerable less
activity this week than last, as is shown
In decrease of about four million pounds
In the sales. There were fewer noteworthy
transactions. Prices have continued to
harden and almost every dealer is pre-
pared to pick up a moderate amount Of
wool when anything offers to attract his
attention. 1t is not believed that the hold
ings in Boston are large at this time. Ev-
cry ones expectation is that quotations
will advance materially beyond the current
figures. The activity caused by the ad-
vance In the London quotations has now
largely subsided.
California woods have been very active
and Australian woods have sold very well.
Sales for the week in Boston aggregate
100000 pounds, of which 5000, 900 were do
mestic.

London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets were steady and quiet
today. Western mines are predominant
ing, with signs of weakness. Americans
opened dull, but over the parity. There
was scarcely any selling here, and the alb
sence from the markets of the Jews re-
stricted the arbitage dealings. Prices were
steady at the close. The withdrawal Of
100000 in gold from the Bank of England
for America had little effect on the mar
ket for shares. where it is argued that
New York does not want gold especially,
but does desire to resell to London the
shares recently shipped from here. The
firmness in today's London discount mar
ket is due to the gold shipments to New
York. The Paris bourse was dull and the

THE INVESTOR


given to keep your eye on our treasure
steamers, Portland and Cleveland, return
ing on or about August 25 and October 10,
1884," The claim the Cudahy-Healy con-
Germ has on the Portland or her treasure
arrivals up to date merits an explanation
from it's directors, for certainly no infor-
nation has been made apparent SO far.
while, on the other hand, nothing very ex-
citing has been determined in point of val
ues. The Cleveland, of course, has yet to
be heard from in the matter of the COM
pany's proprietary interest. If this does
not exceed the Portland exhibit the lesson
is apt to be poor one in the way of an
ocular demonstration. The prospects pre-
sented in addition to the "ample evidence
before the public Of the wonderful wealth
of gold along the Yukon and Klondike ba-
SINS" consist of. an alleged ownership
after five years of patient prospecting in
Il claim on Miller creek, said to have pro-
duced 100000 last year. some copper pros
poets on the Tananha river, and 1000 acres
of coal near Cudahy, with an indefinite
number of placer and quartz claims in the
vicinity. The report of Mr. Ogilvie in
cludes the discovery of coal measures of
very recent date, while quartz locations are
referred to by him In rather uncertain
phraseology. But, however, throw them
all in for what they are worth, and granted
everything contained in this flowery prom
issory document, still we venture the as
sertion that the subscribers could get
better S25. 900. 900 worth right here in Cali

The library at the Lincoln school is

fears they will incur the jealousy of
some OF the other city schools.

study OF Greece and found it so in
teresting that the subject has been
continued. A new name was adopted
at the Saturday night meeting and
the club will hereafter be known as
"The Geiton Circle" This strange
name was chosen because it is the
Greek word for "neighbor," and this
reading club seeks to bring out the
possibilities Of neighbOrhood cooper

The Geiton club is considering how
to enlarge the library fer the Lincoln |
school. An encyclopedia is very |

propose to try and get one. The ways

A new room has b9en opened in the
Lincoln school. relieving the crowded
condition of the rooms and giving all
the teachers an opportunity to do
better work. The people of South

hope the new grades will be added
soon, as a great many now have to go
