Higher Prices.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-R G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review Of trade, will
say:
II can do no good to disguise the fact
that the large eastern advances on wool
to be held for higher prices has helped
to retard the natural decline In that
product, of which one hundred quota
tions by Coates Bros, Of Philadelphia,
average 1871 cents against 2o.Ss Febru-
airy 1st, while extraordinarily small
only 2,6l4, 800 pounds for the week at the
three chief markets, against 14,SS7,OOO
last year, 7,66asOO in 1896 and 7o99,6Oo
in 1892, indicates very little demand at
this time for manufacture. The truth
is that the demana for goods Is not
helped by high prices for wool.
IT,, cotton industry shows better
conditions in spite OF the fall cotton TO
the lowest quotation ever known, and
there is larger demand for most staple
goods. ~
The iron industry Stlll gaiG7 80 rapid
Is that an unhealthy ho6t1 y ould Seem
to be In progress, but for the peculiar
condftionsIn spite or the combination
OF valley producers, who now propose
a Joint selling aE&tcy at Pittsburgh,
sales run q little below their fixed hg-
ures, $40 10 being quoted at Pittsburgh,
and 50 IS for grey forge, while southern
and local iron are steady at chicago
and anthracite Is not stronger at phil
adelphia. But the consuming demand
is remarkably heavy, and large con-
tracts this week cover 5000 tons struc-
ttrai iron at Chicago, 5000 tons for
Boston, 1000 tons ship plates at Cleve-
land, and heavy demand for bars, the
Pennsylvania railroad requiring 1000
cars. and the Northwestern 1000.
Wheat has declined little, with
foreign reports somewhat more favor
able as to European crops, and yet the
actuaI shipments have been 3,5S6,9t1
bushels. flour included, against 1885,
954 bushels for the corresponding week
last year. All reports stu indicate that
farmers are quite generally holding
back their crop In the hope OF higher
prices, and collections are almost every
where retarded on that account, and yet
the western receipts amount to 105S9,-
$50 bushels against s,sl0,720 for the
same week last year.
Nor Is the corn crop any obstruction,
for while 1851, OO2 bushels were exported
during the week against 1,S55,061 last
year, the movement does not indicate
large supplies In the interior. But no.
body can tell as yet how much grain
Europe Will require during the coming
year. 80

THE SCHOOLS.

thar he Third ward school has been
dropped. This is die we unrIrr
stand, to the fact ttat an average
Attendance Of ten pupils co,iId net
be northumberland rs this is the rule
that has been observed in keeping
up tiid school, no exception was
made in the present instance.
Some yealSago,th Board; though
holding to This rNIe. was inclined 10
put as liberal a construction upon
ii as tile law would permit, IL order
t. place as many white schools as
p JSSlble, and thus give public school
advantages to the greatest numbcr
OEclIldren. This WAS wise policy
on the part Of the Board, and VIC
Shall regret to STE any deviation
from it.
The BOardSidea was not to hoard
the public school funds, bnt to tx
pend them i'll maintaining as many
schools as possible and in giving to
elch school u fuit term, so that no
child would be deprived Of the price,
less boon Of Il common school clu-
cation.
In some sparScly settled ncisL
borhoods an average daily attend
anre Of ton children is very difficult
to maintain. The writer has had
some experience as public school
teacher, and even ina small town
where the distance to be traverSed
by no pupil exceeded one miIG,it was
! found that an enrolment of from
fifteen TO eighteen names was nee.
eSSary to secure y daily average of
ten. The experience Of any teacher
i'll Il country neighb0rIlo0d will con
firm this. 1t is very hard then that
the eight or nine pupils in regular
attendance should be deprived o!
school advantages, on account Of the
derelictiun from duty of absentecs.
And again it is Ito less hard that
those debar @ ! from regular attend
alCe by sickness or other uuavoid
able canSeS, sll0nld thereby be de.
priVcd of all schooling, aud inciden-
tally deprive others also. Such a
ruling is not in accordance with the
policy Of the greatest good to the
greatest number, the reaching Of
every child by the public school.
In changing its policy from tie
letter to the spirit Of The lav,-if it
has so dOne,-We Do not doubt that
the Board has acted from Il cOnsci-
cntious motive. There is no appeal
from conscience, though d reversal
of Its decree may be secured per-
haps by an offer OF better reasons.
In this eXigeney, we beg leave 70
suggest to the Board that possibly
its present construction of the law
is incorrect.
See. 1870 of the School Laws in
prescribing the limit of attendance
i'll charge Of one teacher: "No
school Of less than ten pHpjls shall be
opened or maintaiued IN arg loca
6W"
These words are simple and di-
rect. They require no lawyer, learn
ed in legal phrases to interpret
them. And they clearly do not re-
Ter to amy average Of ten. They re-
