Distribution OF Immigrants.

There are communities in this country
which earnestly desire foreign immigra-
tion. There are Others which are pretty
strongly opposed to it. 1t obvious 70
every one that the practical immigration
problem il one OF distribution. The
immigrant has peryerse way OF settling
IN those places which do not want him
and ignoring those which do. Commis-
sioners Of immigration for years past
have believed that something in the way
of better distribution could be accom-
plished By shordng the States needing
labor opportunity after the immigrant
has landed for giving MIN Information
about conditions in their sections and
inviting him 10 settle there. Commis.
sioner General Sargent renews the rec
ommendstion this year and asks Con-
gress for chance 10 begin work OF
this kind at Ellis Island New York

an uncommon distsste for studies and a
most amazing dullness. the Board OF Ed
ucation asked Borough Physician j. ii.

to the cause.
DR.. Buchanan says in his report the
trouble comes from eating cheap candy.
He found the candy habit ss firmly fixed
among them as a taste for drink with
drinker. Inside the mouths OF the pupils
he found a peculiar color, different from
the natural, and similar in all instances
that be examined
He found that the pupils are in the
habit Of buying candy on the way to
school and eating it almost constantly.
He noted that it was invariably colored
candy. aud that it had stained their
mouths and throats. even the stomach
acting AS a slow poison.
The Board OF Education will adopt
some measures to check the custom OF
buying colored candy.

Market s Hardening.

Meantime the foundations of the stock market apear to be steadily hardening. Every week glves increasing assurance of good crops and to that extent forti- fles the bulls in their belief that better times and higher prices are ahead. Re- ports from :ndt strial centers are rather better in tone. although commercial and mercantile advices are not wholly satis- factory. Railroad earnings show some improvement, both in gross results and in the operation of economies put into effect which show in met" Money Is still abundant and lenders complain of difficulty in placing 1t as they would like. Syndcates and corporations are doing most of the borrowing, and they are getting better terms than were ob. tainable few weeks ago It Is becom- ing apparent that if conditions get no worse railroads will have but little diffi- culty in financing themselves through the next year or two and placing their bonds to advantage. The supply of gilt edged bonds Is practically exhausted and the inquiry for medium class bonds con- tinues to improve. The testimony on this point is almost unanimous and ex tends clear through the list of bond houses and bond dealers.

interested in Convention.

It is useless to disguise the fact that Wall street Is deeply concerned in the outcome of the democratic national con- vention. There is a feeling that the democracy is likely to put itself into a position to command the respect and con- sideration of business interests. but on that point there Is sufficient uncertainty to inspire caution among operators and investors. There are features of the re- publican platform (which are in them selves somewhat disquieting and to that extent disappointing to the big interests. Whether or not added trouble is to en- sue as result of the St. Louis gather ing remains to be seen. The financial district, while hoping for the best Is not entirely satisfied with the outlook. People who. ten days ago. were quite certain the presidential campaign would drift quietly along without undue ex- citement have modified their opinions. They are now inclined to the view that the contest may become too heated for comfort It contributes nothing to the calm of the situation to learn that in- portant men have been looking up the personal record of the leading demo- cratic candidate, and that in conse- euence they are not quite so sure as they were at first that he Is as safe and sane" as represented, ana that he might not after all be as entirely satisfactory to the financial community as his spon- sors would have people believe. This discovery adds to the general uncertainty of the situation
