money market outlook so far as the i'm
mediate future is concerned. The sub
| treasury is contributing to the market
| by reason of large pension payments,
increased premiums on government
bonds which are being rushed in for
conversion into the twos before the re-

ments on assay office checks for gold
deposited at Pacific coast points. These
conditions make for the stability of the
money market, and also explain the va
ried market for stocks. Heavy selling
to take profits continue side by side
with extraordinary advances in special
stocks.
OF the days special movements by far
the most impressive was the sustained
advance in the Erie stocks, the common
rising to 24A, the first preferred TO 57B

DIR. WRIGHT FAvORs INSPECTION

Health officer Gives Opinion on Pro
posed Sanitary Inspection of Schools
DIR. Frank W. Wright, the health Of
ficer, has added his opinion in regard
to the proposed medical inspection OF
the health conditions of our school chill
dren.
When asked yesterday in reference to
the subject, Dr. Wright said: per
sonally and professionally l am quite
in favor of the proposition, and have
no doubt as to the probable success of
the measure should the board of health
see fit to authorize it's institution.
'Since the first offers of Drs. Nader
and Littlejohn, who stated their will
lingness to aid in inspecting the sani-
| tary conditions of our schools, COM
mittee of two has been selected to con-
slider the question, and the matter now
rests with this committee, which COM
| prises DR.. Bissell and Donald G. Car

which I should advocate, however,
would necessltate having the city di-
vided into districts, comprising from
1900 to 1900 families, with one physi-
clan appointed and authorized to SUI
pervise the health status of the chill
dren of each district.
1T would thus be established a part
Of the school Inspectors duties to visit
each day the school or schools at which
the children of his district attend, and
to learn from the principal, who has in
turn been informed by the teachers of
the rooms, of any children from his sec
ton have been reported absent If so,
the physician shall investigate as to
the cause for the absence. This would
do away with the necessity for having
children sent to infected houses to learn
the causes of the absence of fellow pu-
pills.
Similarly, when a child is thought by
the school principal to appear Ill, the
inspector should be required to ascer-
tain as to the nature of the pupils i'll
ness and to either order the child home
or to give directions for relieving the
unfavorable conditions
Methods similar Ito this one have
been Instituted in other cities, and par
ticularly in Boston, where the scheme is
reported to have led to wonderfully
gratifying results.
Extreme cases of uncleanliness in
children might If the new system is
adopted, be at once detected and
counteracted, while ill-clad pupils
could be readily attended to and the
best sources Of relief recommended by
the inspecting physician. AT all events,
however, you may say that the PROPOSE
ton appeals to me as one worthy of
serious consideration"
1t is thought that at the sext meet
ing of the board of health some def
mite action will be reached, and that
the matter, now somewhat vague, will
be decided upon,

THE STOCK M Ark Ell.
Causes OF Yesterday's Unsettled and
Irregular Conditions.

Irregular Conditions.
New York, Dec. 1S.-The irregular and
unsettled conditions of the stock mar
ket to-day were due to various conflict
ing causes. There was continued evil
dence of important buying which has
been attributed to banking interests and
which is said to point to the consolida-
ton of the control Of many competing
and connecting railroad systems. Eff
an appearance of a continuance of this
class of transactions became rather OBJ
vious and created a feeling of doubt
and distrust. Another consideration
was that the opinion has become well
settled in Wall street that the surpris-
ing decrease in loans in last Saturdays
bank statement was due primarily to
the movement of the deposit account.
The banking and financial Institutions
which have had so large a part in the
recent buying Of certain stocks have
evidently been drawing down the de-
post accounts of the bank to do So
This neceSsitates a contraction of out
side loans. While the buying Of the
banks Is a strong sustaining force in the
stock market, it is equally strong as a
depicting force in the money market
upon which spectators are dependent
for their resources.
Another unsettling influence was Lon
don's change of front. After buying
actively here yesterday that center sold
freely to-day. This was of course the
outcome of the monetary situation in
London. With further military reverses
in South Africa and the foreign ex-
changes running against her, it is the
common expectation that the Bank of
England discount rate will be advanced
tomorrow. Such a condition is always
sufficient to cause liquidation of foreign
securities from London in the interest
of the money market. But it is not
clear that the more conservative class
of investors in England are not attract
ed by American securities. The decline
of trade activity there and the contin-
ued high earnings here make the Amer.
lean securities relatively more attrac-
tive for investment.
No uneasiness is apparent over the
