BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK. July 9.-Unless the outlook
for money becomes decidedly more favor
able in the near future 1t is believed that
there will not be much genuine buying OF
stocks. except by investors throughout the
country who undoubtedly will be attracted
by the large dividend return on the lead
Ing securities. Their purchases. while OF
the odd-lot variety. may I've large in the
aggregate and consequently constitute q
factor Of no little Importance In the gen.
eral market situation. From present tndi-
cations the rates for money will be too
high to warrant the large spectators buy
ing extensive lines on margin. It Is &C
knowledged. Of course, that II the odd-lot
buying becomes noteworthy the market
will be very materially helped and be In a
position to advance considerably further
later on If money becomes more abundant.

Prominent railroad interests are now
reasonably confident that this years crops
will be well up to the average on the whole.
and that the traffic of the railroads is not
likely to show much diminuuon for the
rest of this year during the early part
Of next year. AS result OF these 1nolca-
tons they are not little apprehenslve as
to how they will secure the money needed
to provide facilities for the handling of this
traffic.
A prominent Rock Island official said this
morning that in his opinion the recent es-
innate Of 100000 O-bushel wheat crop in
Kansas is too optimistic, and that II the
actual yield Is 10000. coo bushels 1t should
be regarded as satisfactory. He says that
authorities in the south, with whom he has
talked recently. believe that the cotton crop
will be better than most estimates have in
dictated.
No official announcement has been made
with respect to the terms which will be Of
fered to the holders of the various classes
of securities that will participate in the
proposed Mexican railroad merger. Those
who have the matter in charge take the po-
sition that no preliminary announcement
regarding these terms should be made
prior to the official announcement Of the
entire plan. They say that provision has
been made in the plan for all the securi-
ties involved. and that just as soon as con-
ditions. in their judgment. warrant, the
entire matter will be made public. 1t Is
understood that the plan itself provides
that the date of the announcement shall be
left entirely to the bankers.

that the only excuse for this crime was the fact
that under the present schedule the women had

NO REDUCTION IN SALARIES.

1t has been objected that the proposed law
would reduce men teachers salaries. The Davis
law provides three minimum salaries for men:
ca NO male teachers in said elementary school
shall receive less than $500 per annum; CD no
male teachers in classes of the grades Of the
last two years of said schools shall after twelve
years service, receive less than S2,160 per an
mum; (c) no male teachers of the graduating
class shall, after ten years service receive less
than $500 per annum. 1t will be seen by the
above that no provision is made for the salary
of men in grades below the last two years of
elementary schools In making schedules under
the Davis law. the Board of Education has made
the only exception to provisions of said law
by making schedule G. which permits the board
to pay a man. even II placed in kindergarten,
5000 for the first year and $3.50 in the thir-
teenth year In fixing a minimum of $1,74O

MANDATORY LEGISLATION.

Aside from the question Of equity and Justice.
there are certain civic issues that must be con-
sdered. the strongest being tho contention that
all Mandatory Legislation from state authori-
ties IS pernicious in the City OF New York.
From the Hand Book published by the State
Department of Education. We read that the
State Board Of Regents makes certain pro-
visions for academic examinations tChfch shalt
DC mandatory only in the last ftCO gears Of the
school course etc In pursuance OF these pro-
visions we ind that the school authorities OF
greater New York have decided to make gem
eral use OF the Regents Academic Examinations
lChtcb shall be mandatory IN the last tico Years
Of our city high school course. Examinations
under above mandatory provisions have been
announced for June 18th TO 2lst. 1907. This
announcement becomes very interesting when
We know that the local school authorities regard
state legislation as Outrageous" and contrary
to the principle OF Home Rule. Mandatory
legislation. as such, becomes less Of a bugaboo

In the matter OF Home Rule it has been sug-
gesto1 that New Workers should clear their
minds Of humbug. IL the Legislature can and
viii enact laws that the city requires. and which
local authorities refuse to do. such laws are In
every sense in the spiritsof real Home Rule
The present Davis law was bitterly opposed
at the time OF its enactment With all its inius-
tees it has proved a blessing to the schools. as
1t has steadied the system and removed it from
the attacks and vagaries Of politicians and local
civic factions. The NIcCarren- ConkIin bill
seeks TO amend the Davis law and to correct
the injustlces in the salary schedules which were

THE HOME.

When the sancuty Of the home was being at
tackled it soon became clear that the woman
teacher was the only one whose home had been
attacked. The salary paid her permitted a hall
bedroom but dream of a home. The men
who profit by the discrimination and are loudest
IN their opposition are largely bachelors and
do not seem especially anxious to rush into do
mestic happiness. Some others who feel this
matter most keenly have not considered the
home so sacred that II could not be abandoned
and its responsibilities shifted After the home
question had been investigated vague economic
problems limited at.

INEQUALITIES.

The present schedule of salaries provides That
women having the same academic qualifications
the same experience, the same grade Of work
and receiving the same commentator from
school authorities shall receive a salary COM
pensation from 30 TO 40 per cent less than
men. The most glarng differences are
found I'm the elementary schools, where the
woman starts at So00-the man at $500; tho
woman receives an annual increment Of S4O-the
man S105. After thirteen years Of service. &C
cording to the above schedule the men receive
just 100 per cent more salary than the women
although all other conditions have remained the
same. In order 10 correct these abuses the
marlborough Association tried many times to
reach the local authorities.
