Dun's Wool Review.

Following is DunS Current review
of the wool market:
A few changes reduced the average
for one hundred grades of domestic
wool to 2S.42 on September /, accord
ing to the monthly circular of Coates
Brothers, which compares with an
average of 2S1a month previous,
when the highest record of over two
decades was established. Fundamen-
tai conditions in the market do not
appear altered, and during August
there was a large business in terri
tory woods. Some of the lower grades
have been neglected., but, as rule,
manufacturers accept offerings read
lily as they are working on very large
contracts, especially worsteds The
next event of special interest is the
London auction sale that opens on
September 49,
Philadelphia-The wool market is
quiet The volume of business is prin-
clpally in territories. but during the
past week no large lines have chang
ed hands. The market is strong, par
tlcularly in fine medium and fine
woods. There is no apparent weak
ness in any grade. but quarter and
low t1eeces are the least in demand
although they remain on the same
price level as for several weeks pre-
ceding. Holders appear to be conf
dent of good trade in the near flu
ture and there is no disposition to
hasten the marketing of valuable
stocks, except at full prices
Boston-WoOl trading is more quiet
with big buyers temporarily out of the
market. and the weeks business has
been confined to moderate and fair
sized parcels. Sales of territory wool
OF from $4,000 to 100000 pounds each
have been quite numerous. however,
and an average volume of business
has been transacted. Prices are strong
and there is recovery in medium I'M
washed fleeceS, which are not press
ed for sale as vigorously as a fort
night ago. Foreign advices are firm
on all kinds of wool, low grades not
being affected by the close of the war.
The weeks deliveries of over 7,OOO,-
600 pounds are the largest of any
week but one this year and exceed the
receipts by 325,O0O pounds.

A Revolutionary Movement.

st. Petersburg. Sept. 14.-Tbe news
from Finland of the accidental dis
covery of the importation of rifles
and ammunition in large quantities
is the most serious disclosure regard
ing the revolutionary movement in
Russia that has yet been made, as
1t indicates an intention to form a
regular military organization.
The importation of revolvers into
Finland, Poland, the Baltic provinces
and other districts of Russia has been
an open secret for a long time. In
fact, the initiated have found little diff
ficulty in purchasing repeating pis-
tolls of small type in ST. Peters
burg itself. but these are pocket weap-
ons, intended only for use in street
rlotlng and for attacks on the police.
The importation of small caliber re-
peating rifles and carbines of a mod
ern type, however. presuposes a de-
sign to organize formal resistance
to the troops. and the presence of
bayonets in the consignment strength
ems this supposftion.
No information can be obtained
here concerning the possible identity
OF the filibustering schooner, which
according to one dispatch from Hell
sinsfors. is supposed to have been
cruising under the American flag.
though this probably was used as a
blind.

CITY SCHOOL
NOTES
Editors:
HELEN SHELL,
EARL McGINNIS.

The enrolment in all the grades IS
AGO. distributed as follows: Kinder
garten, A; second grade, As; third
grade, SO fourth A, SO; fourth B, 81;
fifth grade, 81; sixth B, Sc; sixth A,
| 20; seventh grade, So; eighth grade,
| 60.
The school opened Sept. 5th with
Mr.. Silloway as our superintendent.
There is large attendance this year.
We are all glad to have Miss Fulton
with us again.
In spite of the fact that there were
outside attractions last week, the at
tendance was excellent.
The eighth grade has taken up the
study of civil government this week.
Mr.. Silloway will instruct us in that
study.
notwithstanding the many attrac-
TONS OF last week, there was but one
absence in the sixth A, and the ma
Jorlty OF the pupils took hold of the
work as though it was of prime i'm
portance
The eighth AS are working in bank
diseetnt just now. Many are finding
it difficult
The seventh grade numbers 80 pu-
plls, with several more in view. The
manner in which they have taken hold
OF the work is very gratifying to their
teacher, as well as beneficial to them
selves. 1a|
The seventh A must look to their
laurels. as their predecessors of last
year were an exceptional class.
Florence Culver, the eighth A mu.
stefan, is playing for us this week.
The kindergarten department, in
charge of Miss Hughey, is proving a
great success. There are IA in at.
tendance, half of whom are present
each half day session. Owing to the
increased attendance, it has been de-
cidel to accept children at least five
years old and to limit the attendance
at that age.
The A class of the third grade is
so large this year that Miss Noble has
divided it into two sections. We hope
the grade will continue in work and
department as it has begun.
The fourth grade. under Miss 10
Remington, started in with an attend
ance of SO, and if work continues as
! 1t has begun. the new year will find
an entirely new set of pupils in the
grade.
The fifth room. with Nellie Atkin-
son as teacher, had an enrolment of
twenty-nine for the first week. All
went to work nicely on the first day
The fifth grade are doing excellent
work in their new arithmetic.
Mrs. e. E. Brewer is arranging for
the organization of a city school or
chestra. Some of the pupils are now
taking lessons, and as soon as they
are proficient enough the orchestra
should consult with Mr.. Silloway or
Mrs. Brewer about the necessary ar
engagements.
All the rooms are now properly grad
ed. and the real work is we'll begun
Miss Kingsbury has only the begin
ners who are six years old and in
the primes. Miss Newell has only
the first reader pupils, and Miss Jack
sons pupils are all second reader
grade. All the other rooms are equal
~ well adjusted to the best arrange
ment for steady progress.
We have two reporters each week
who will prepare notes for both our
city papers. 1t is our intention to
keep the people informed about our
schools. and we trust that our items
will be matters of general interest.
The schools are always open to visit
ors. and we invite the hearty CO.
operation of all friends of education.
