FURTHER PROGRESS MADE TOWARD
 STAGNATION.
First Hours Spurt in Selling Constituted About the Only Live Feature of
 the Day on the Stock
 Exchange.

New York, June s.-Today's stock market made further progress towards condition
 Even the temporary spurt of the first hour, which had come to be expected as the find an ol ayaiabs esrse e0fo for movement op prices, was lacking. The first hours deal tngs today were only slightly above the stocks of the e Southern Southern W group up s late in the the day was attributed to operations by a few of the traders who have not abandoned the market entirely. It is supposed that a pool exists in these stocks.
 The narrow fluctuations of the market maintained some appearance of coherency early in the day, but the latter movements were entirely confused and irregular. Such nifioance The movement of prices sus- gests no interpretation but the idleness in @ itself as an index of the condition of doubt and uncertainty which expresses speculative sentiment Some influence is attributed to the fact of the coming whitsunttde holi- days in London. which drove the London market into condition of likeness almost equal to our own
 The heavy falling off in the activity of the trading Is responsible for the sharp de- cline in the price of Stock Exchange seats, S,aa . Saie being reported at s72.Soo The pre-. the the high price of ss4,ooo was paid within
 Some of the disposition to defer opera tions was attributed to the desire to know the complexion of tomorrow's Government report on the June 1st condition of the grain crop. It is not expected that any pronounced position will be assumed in the stock market on the basis of the years harvest until the critical period for the crops :r,p = several weeks hence has been passed. The Equitable Life affair furnished no i'm mediate incident for discussion today, but It's great influence in deterring of the many ventures in the stock market Is unimpaired.
 Call money was slightly firmer, but not enough so to be an influence. Some con alteration Is beginning to be given how ever, to the preparations for the half yearly settlements. The usual interest and divi- dend disbursements have more than the customary supplement in the demand to TO- plenish reserves by the trust companies It Is expected that the operations of this week have been to the advantage of the trust company reserves at the expense of the bank reserves. The sub-treasury has absorbed during the week about S1.500 900 more than the banks have gained on the interior movement. Some large changes in the va result.

Covering and Bull Support Followed bJ Heavy Realizing iu Later Session. Opening Firm at . Small
 Net Advance.

New York June s.-The cotton market was active and more or less excited dur lag the entire session. with active covering and bull support followed by . heavy real txing in the later session.
 The opening was firm at an advance of t01f points following much higher cables than expected, unfavorable private crop advices. reports of firm spot markets and rumors that leading New Orleans and Liv- erpooI interests had formed bull com bination. which were colored by private cables from Liverpool claiming that shorts there were covering for over the three holi- days and in fear of manipulation.
 There was considerable realizing at the initial advance in the local market, and this caused some irreguiarity, but generally speaking the market continued to advance nn active New Orleans bull support and cov- u net gain of about 1s020 points. when New Orleans selling orders started liquida- lion by local longs and prices broke to about tae opening figures. The close was steady Tn tone at net advance of 6911 points. Sales of futures were estimated at 350.ooe bales.

ONE PLACE OR THE OTHER.

The weakest effort we have noticed
of late is the Salem Journals attempt
in Tuesday evenings issue to defend
Binger Hermann. It's all right for an
editor to stand in with his friends, hut
IIermann's record is rotten, and When
the journal wants to send him to the
United States senate, it's a little too
rank for even the most hidebound re.
publican to stand. Hermann stands a
much better chance of going TO the pen.

likely be elected to the United States

THE NEED OF PERMANENT
BRIDGES.

The report of the city committee to
examine the condition of the bridges
shows that something will have to be
done soon.
What would reasonable business
man do under the circumstances! He
would stop building long wooden struc-
lures, to rot down in ten years.
Short, steel spans, or arched cul-
verts should take the place Of the pres
ent system of shaky, spidery-legged
piling foundations.
There should be verdict of the peo-
pie against any more wooden sidewalks
and against any more wooden bridges
The offer of few wealthy gentlemen
to contribute towards building a bridge
on South Commercial street will never
matcriali2e
IL is not the way 10 build a bridge
II all the wealthy men of the city paid
taxes on what they have in proportion
to others, the city would have abundant
revenue TO build bridges.

RURAL DELIVERY AND PHONES.

Rural delivery and telephones are

1t gives them, as never before, rap
id communication with the outside
world and instead of the news of the
world week or so old, the farmer
now gets the news by daily paper
which reaches him not later than mid
day of the morning Of publication.
One after another of the subscribers
of The Journal who have for years
taken the weekly publication are now
changing to the daily, which gives the
telegraphic news.
In doing this they express their
qualification over their good fortune
and the facilities afforded them to be
in line with the great advancement of
the times.

FOUR NORMAL SCHOOLS.

There is more sense in four little
normal schools. in four different parts
Of the state, than in one great big one
in Salem OF Portland.
The little schools do better work and
serve a larger section of country and
reach more young people than one
school would reach.
All four Of the Oregon schools do not
get as much support as any one OF the
three in Washington, or any one OF the
five in California.
Even the Drain school, called the
baby. and sneered at by those who op'
pose all Normal schools, has been In
existence for twenty years.
A correspondent favors putting all
the normal school work into the state
University. This is the place for it, II
the schools are to go.
We will wager a big red apple that II
the present normal schools were abol'
ished bigger normal school, and cost
ing more money than all we have at
present. would be established inside Of
two years.
