A Waiting Attitude.

The movement of stocks this week has
shown waiting attitude on the part of
larger and more important interests. Deal
ings have been restricted and the day-to-
day developments have not been of much
effect on prices nor on the volume of BUSH
ness. Such progress as has been made on
the process of establishing more favorable
conditions in business and industry has
awakened little response in the securities
market, suggesting that operations former
ly effected had been in the definite antici
pa ton of events as they have occurred.
The professional operations In stocks
which have made up the bulk of the trans
actions In the market. have been hesitating
and varying and in the nature of testing
operations. These tests have apparently
failed to open an outlet for any great ex-
tension. and have been desisted from or
reversed a intervals. giving the market an
irregular and uneven appearance. The
movements of any extent have been IN in
dIvlduai stocks or groups of stocks subject
to the influence of some common factor,
and evidently. in many instances. subject
to operations by organized speculative
pools.

NEW YORK August 5.-Prices lost
ground In the early trading today and did
not entirely recover In the stnening OF
values which followed the appearance OF
the bank statement. The early selling was
prcca ationary on account OF intimations
that the banking operations OF the week
had been so complicated as TO leave the
effect on the daily average unusually OBJ
scure for estimating. Fears existed that
the item of loans might show a heavy ex-
pausion as a result of the August L settle
ments and the payment of an tnStailment
on the japanese loan subscription with the
privilege to subscribe to pay in full and
save interest. The bank statement, showed
all of the expected decrease in cash. but
the moderate loan expansion OF sl.316,300
proved much less formidable than had been
anticipated.

For several days it has been
rumored on the streets of Mon

Dick had caught several indi-

Florida, Paris and perhaps
Stoutsville were involved.

MANUSCRIPTS,
Successful.

Once again we have the pleas.
ure of chronicling the success
of a Monroe business man. Will
A. Sullivan was raised in this
city and spent years receiving
business training in his fathers
and uncles' dry good and cloth
ing house. He then took up life
insurance and in that was sue
cessful. Then he concluded to
drop the road and go into bust
ness in the best town the
Queen of the Prairies-that his
wide experience made him &C
quainted with. January, 1, 1908
just two years ago, he opened
up a stock of clothing and gents
furnishing goods in the north
rooney by rs feet-under the
Monroe Hotel. Being an ex-
elusive and up-to-date line of
goods, the place soon became
popular and now he has just
doubled the size of his house by
leasing the south or adjoining
room, A doorway has been cut
near the front and a large arch
way about the center of the
length of the rooms. Fresh
paint and paper make the rooms
just what a first class house
should be. The north now with
a big stock of goods is devoted
to clothing exclusively, tables
put in and display tables along
the wall. The south room is fill
ed with everything OF the best
in the gents furnishing line.
The desk and safe have been
moved to the big archway and
the stove from the rear of the
north room TO near the arch.
AS whole it is a big showing
and he as we'll as the DEMOCRAT
gives the excellent stock of
goods carried and persistent

SCHOOL REPORT.
Monthly Report of Monroe City Public
School.

Friday Jan. 18th was the end
of the fourth month of school
and on that day the regular
quarterly examinations were
held. Quite number of pupils
excused from the examinations
on account of satisfactory work
done during the quarter. 1t is
hoped by the faculty that more
pupils will avail themselves of
the opportunity to get out of
examinations for the third quar-
ter. There are some pupils in
each grade and some in each
class of h gh school who have
to take examinations because
they do not work during the
session. Every pupil above the
fifth grade should do some
school work at home and par.
ents are requested to see that
this work is done. Parents
whose children do not make as
good grades as they think they
should make are requested to
consult the teachers as to the
cause of low grades. 1t is fire.
quently the case that parents
and teachers working together
can do what parents or teachers
alone would fail TO do.
The enrolment has increased
to 369 in the white school and rs
in the colored school, a total
444. The enrolment at the end
of the fourth month last year
was 448, The average daily
attendance for the past month
was 1863. High School led in
attendance 965 per cent.
During the month the school
library has been catalogued and
rearranged. We are badly in
need of an extensive addition to
our general library. The High
School library has been
strengthened by the addition
OF about fifty books. which
were purchased from the pro.
ceeds of an entertainment given
by the pupils OF the High
School.

grades have made grades dur
