THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

There is a striking change of feeling
on the Stock Exchange says Henry
Clews. Twelve months ago we were
near the crest of a wave of wild specu-
lation. Six months ago we were on
the verge of despair. and in fear OF q
crisis or panic. Now We are settling
down to more normal conditions; de-
spondency has ceased, and confidence
should soon commence to regain its
accustomed sway. The reasons for
this are easy to discover; liquidation,
improved monetary conditions and
brilliant wheat crop prospect being
the principal causes. The speculative
leaders, however, apparently realize
that the market requires further rest
and therefore remain inactive at pres
ent. The present supply Of securities,
including the new issues, is really all
the market can stand under existing
conditions. Some uneasiness was
shown at gold exports. which are usual
at this season, and have not yet been
sufficiently large to cause alarm me
European markets are generally well
supplied with funds: and as the finan-
cial situation in England, France and
Germany is improving rather than 9TH
erwise there seems to be no occasion
to expect large demands upon us for
gold. In the crop situation there is
little change The season is very
backward for cotton, corn and other
crops. which can hardly be considered
favorable; but it is early, and there
is plenty of time in which to recover.
A bumper wheat crop is practically
certain and this is a factor of much
Importance, especially to railroads in
the wheat belt, some of which have
shown an undercurrent of strength in
the stock market in consequence. The
money market is easy. as usual this
season, when legitimate demands are
at a minimum. Speculation is dor
mant Active fluctuations are mostly
confined to specialties and until crops
are fully assured it is likely to be sim

School or Tuesday afternoon. and in
conversation with the editor of The

also noted the fact that nine years
were required to complete the common
school course instead of eight. as is
done in most schools. He suggested
that the common school course be re-

be divided among four teachers as fol-
lows: First and second grades in one
department: third and fourth in an
other; hltA and sixth in another; sew
enth and eighth in another. and then
