NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE general
course of prices in the days stock market
was exceedingly irregular, and the trading
was in comparatively light volume. During
the greater part of the day speculation was
held in check on account OF the general un-
certainty as TO the developments in the
money market, and In respect to the divf
dend on ST. Paul common stock. AS re-
CARDS the days money market, its tone
was really easier than for some time al
though the rates were still rigidly main
tanned around the full legal figures. Ster-
nng exchange was steadisr today, and while
tne so-called foreign banking houses were
again the largest offerers of money on cali.

against S55 100000 for the same period of

resulted about equally from the larger ship

those of manufactured arts
AS noted. active speculative interest was
restrained by the uncertainty regarding
the ST Paul dividend and the money mar
Eet- The days situation in the main was
otherwise rather featureless there being
no important statements of railway traffic
submitted and few other DEVELOPMENTS of
any significance. AS had been expected
the regular dividend of IA per cent was
declared on Rock Island and upon this
announcement the whole market sold off
fractionally, the traders seeming to as
sumo from this that nothing more than
the regular dividend need to be expected
on St Paul. Notwithstanding the markets
ouilness interest was quite well diversi-
he'd and all quarters OF the market re-
ceived fair amount OF attention.
The industrial quarter, with the ex-
cepton OF Sugar Refining, was firm, the
Tobacco stocks being particularly strong
The local traction group was also active,
the features there being Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Manhattan. The last named
rose sharply In the early dealings, on

NEW YORK, Sept 14.-The impression
that the crop has been seriously cut off is
gaining ground. Al the same time, people
are shifting from one side to the other very
frequently. The feeling may be described
as nervous. Complaints of poor crops keep
pouring, in but make little impression.
Disappointing cables checked the buyers
this morning. Hesitation was displayed by
both sides, in view of general indifference
arising from the Jewish holiday. The
weather map indicated fair conditions in
every section, with so degrees at Memphis
and Little Rock and 81 at Vicksburg. Pick
ing has been favored by the very fine
weather the past week, and receipts should
assume large proportions soon If the crop
is large one. After the first thirty min

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The Flagstaff public school opened Monday morning, September II, under the most favorable auspices.
 One hundred and thirty-nine bright faced pupils presented themselves to their respective teachers for assign ment to duty, and judging from the earnestness with which the different teachers entered upon their work good results will surely follow.
 The good work done last year by Prof. Malvern Dimmick; the zeal with which he has worked during the vaca- tion just closed in mapping the work for next term can not be too highly praised by school officers and patrons of the school. His very commendable work last year is guarantee of the fu- ture.
 Miss Katharine Edwards, who has charge of the Fifth and Sixth grades, needs no introduction to the people of our city, as she has shown herself to be lady of the highest standard. and as an instructor in our school she has de- monstrated by her work that she can be relied upon to do her whole duty fearlessly and conscienciously.
 Miss Anna NJ. Miller of the First In- termediate department was with us last year, and her work was in every way so satisfactory to patrons, pupils and school officers that she was unanimously chosen for another term. How well she did her work is mat.ar of record, of which she and a. persons interested may we'll feel proud.
 Miss Mary Logic, wGo has charge of the Second Primary department, while new teacher" in the Flagstaff schools. is not stranger to school work, nor to the people Of Flagstatf and vicinity. Miss Logic comes to us highly recommended by competent judges. Of her compe tency there can
