Opinions of the New York Market.

Benjamin Woodruff, of Post &
Flagg-"Every one came down this
morning feeling considerable anxiety.
This was quite noticeable on the floor
OF the Stock Exchange before the
opening, as Saturday has inclined to
the destruction Of values; in fact, the
bear party almost always chooses Fri
day and Saturday for a demonstration.
The bank statement, although favor
able, was only negatively so, for al
though it showed considerable reduc-
ton in loans, il does not show as much
of a reduction as should have occurred
after the two weeks Of drastic liquida-
ton which we have been through.
Nevertheless, the market is as high. if
not higher, than IL was at last nights
closing, which is doing fairly well for
these times"
G. Bowie Chapman. of z. r. Chap
man & Co-"The market this morning
opened with prices at about the Lon
don equivalent. and then became weak.
but later on rallied. The volume of
trading the first half hour was about
normal, with no great activity in any
one stock, The bank statement showed
an increase of about $1,000. 600 In sur
plus revenue, leaving that item at A
figure about 100000 more than at
this time last year. After the publica-
ton Of the bank statement, the mar
ket showed a disposition to rally, and
prices reached about the closing figures
Of last night. I do not see anything
in the situation to cause any change
in my opinion that stocks should be
sold on all rallies, which, of course.
Will occur from time TO time"
E. ". Crew. of Henry Clews & Co
THE extreme weakness at the opening
was caused by sales for London and
commission house account, traders be-
ing the principal buyers. There is lit
tie yet to recommend the purchase of
stocks. It is quite certain that there
has been no change in the underlying
conditions for the better; If anything
the gravity of the situation has been
intensified by recent developments and

other charges whatsoever.
The bill has proved most popular
one with school officers in the state
and especially with teachers who feel
they have been imposed upon by pri-
vate agencies which not only make a
charge of membership fee, but also
five per cent of years salary for Sc
curing situation. This FIVE per cent
of a years salary will not be charged
by the State.
School officers who desire to secure
teachers for the coming year, and
teachers who desire situations, should
write the Commissioner Of Labor &
Industrial Statistics, Madison, Wis,
making their wants known. Teachers
should enclose two dollars, member
ship fee, with their application.
