For Compulsory Education.

State Superintendent Frank Nelson
has prepared some figures on the
school attendance of the state to con-
vince the members of the legislature
that compulsory education law is
needed. There are 50s,s54 children Of
school age in the state, while the num-
Der enrolled in school is but 3s9,6s2.
There are II, 527 children between the
ages of s and Fl in Topeka, while
the attendance is but 6,936. This
great difference is largely due, how
ever, to the order OF the city school
board not admitting children until
they are years of age.

to points higher on fairly active
local covering and bull support, sup
plemented by brisk foreign demand
latter said to be hedges against short
age in the English market. There was
a further Improvement Immediately
following the call, January reaching
sos on general support. But for the
rest of the forenoon session the course
OF prices was downward under sales for
profit by room traders and quiet with
drawal of outside buying orders based
on generally good weather reports, in
creasing receipts and lack of public
support. The initial advance was bas-
ed on strong Liverpool cables, poor crop
reports and reports that the talked of
strike in New England cotton mills had
been postponed for two weeks. The
absence of killing frosts in the belt did
much to check the enthusiasm of bulls.
Early in the afternoon the market be-
came heavy under generous offerings
from the Southwest, said to represent
hedges against large purchases of spot
cotton by Philadelphia export inter-
ests. This pressure led room longs to
sell out and prompted leading bears to
attack the late months for a break to
7.90 for January. Liberal estimates for
to-Inorrow's receipts and favorable
weather forecast added to the depres-
sion. The decline did not receive a
check until October reached 1888, around
which figure buying for reaction be-
came an influence. The close was
barely steady, with prices net 2 to 6
points lower.

shortly after on fresh buying. but cas-
ed off 10 from the top subsequently ow-
ing to more liberal receipts. the weak
ness of spots and favorable weather
throughout the belt, closing at a net
loss of points on the day. Manchester
cables state that the adverse bureau
report caused a sharp advance, devel-
oping nervousness as the trade were
not prepared for such a heavy reduce
ton in condition. Fresh undertakings
at the prices asked are not expected
until the outlook has been considered.
! The pessimistic document is not ac-
! cepted by some, yet it is admitted that
should the report prove correct, the
present course of the market would be
largely justified. 1t was more appar-
emit to-day than ever that the bureau
was discredited by the trade as ad-
vices were received from all sections of
the belt claiming that the condition fig
ures were too low and that in num-
| Der of states there was relative in
crease in condition instead of a marked
deterioration as reported by the gov
eminent. There are number OF oper-
ators, however, who contend that while
the bureau condition may be exagger-
ated that the crop is not large and an
ticipate higher prices. Reviewing the
situation, it appears that speculation
mus come in with an improved spot de-
mand and continuation of light re-
ceipts to maintain present values or
else prices will gradually seek lower
level should receipts increase and spin
ners remain apethetic when 1t is con-
sidered that European textile trade
conditions are satisfactory.
