NEW YORK, Aug. 29-There was a
stirring of speculative interests today
which gave an appearance of greater ami
nation to the stock market than it has
SHOWN for two weeks past. The strength
eentered in the steel group for the grea t.
er part of the day, but in the later deal
!ngS 1t extended throughout the list. The
list of active stocks was not long one,
out such as were dealt in showed quite
UNIFORM gains, extended - aear a point
or over than in many cases. The gains
were well held and proflt-ta king made
only slight inroads, the c.ose being firm,
though quiet at about the top. Although
the number of issues dealt in was not
large the trading was not nearly so
Hucn concentrated In a few stocks as for

gains ranged from a point to 2 and "a

Steel and Wile. There was no exception
IN the group to the upward tendency
which was due to the reports OF the
growing demand for iron and iron pro-
ducts of pretty much all grades. The
progress of negotiations for the settle
ment of wage schedules which are in
progress, was probably reflected also in
the movement. Generally speaking, the
demand for stocks is partly ascribable to

the decline effected yesterday. Their dis
quiet was Increased by several incidents
of the day. Prices received an opening
impetus to the advance and a better tone
of the London market, which was encour-
aged by the reported successes of Gen.
Roberts against the Beers. Actual buy
ing for London account was on a small
scale. The upward course of London dis
count was checked, however. and the
hope was entertained that with the con-
clusion of stock exchange settlement,
their money difficulties, are obviated for
the Immediate future The statement of
railroad earnings Of the day were good,
including the Wabash annual report,
showing prosperous year, and the St

AS TO FREE TEXT BOOKS.

On its educational side the free text
book plan is giving universal satisfac-
tion in the Minneapolis schools. The
city tried the plan two years before it
was adopted by the state as a whole, so
the plan has had more thorough trial
in Minneapolis than in any other place
in the state.
For the year ending June Both, the
amount paid for text books was $24,-
5000, Of which $9,O1I s45 was for
books for the high schools, and $I5,-
|852.45 for books for; the grades. OF the
totals, SO, 1865 was received by the
board fromtthe sale Of books to the high
school pupils. With the text books pur-
chased before, this sum enabled the
board Of education to provide books for
all the pupils. In some instances, how
eyer,it was found impracticable TO fur
nish all the pupils with full sets Of sup
Elementary texts. In such cases, d suf1i-
cient number for two or three classesin
each building was purchased, and passed
from room m TO room as needed. Tie
number of texts Of which the pupils
have the use at some time during The
year varies from three for each pupil IN
the first grade, TO seven in the eighth.
s'The pupils ii lny school, {, said the
principal Of one Of the largest schools,
today, .'take the best Of care Of their
books. think that is true Of all the
schools. We try to i'm press upon them
the fact that the books are public prop.
