FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. Dec 13--An upward ten dsncy of prices of securities was plain ly discernible In the stock market movement last week. although the un- even and at times irregular action threw some confusion about the tone.
 The week was notable for the large number and variety of the low priced stocks which advanced suddenly and without clear explanation. This feature was the ground for some expressed sus- picion of the speculative position, the more so as many of the high grade stocks which have absorbed most at tention for a long time and which are better representatives of general condl- tons were almost immovable. The rep resentative stocks quite naturally re- sponded first to a widespread influence on a change in the course Of general business and affairs. A more belated response in the lower grade stocks in business of more special character is equally natural. The normal course of a prolonged speculative manipulation under skillful conduct is a shifting from the high grade stocks after attractive profits have accrued in them into low priced issues. the new advance in the latter serving to sustain the tone

TOWING oF nAnaEs.
Opinion is Divided in New Engien'

UU1U1Dn OHNtUtU tA %~~Fs
 shipping Interests.
 Boston. Dec iS.-Opinion is divided in New England shipping interests over the recent order Of Secretary Straus of the Department of ComWerce and Labor. regulating the towing or barges in inland waters.
 Neither ship owners nor barge men look upon the new order as at all set- fiire the long controversy over the best method of transporting by water merchandise in bulk. On the other hand, the cutting down of the length of the tows and decrease in the mum Der of barges is regarded by steam ship marines with favor. is hailed by the ship p-building interests of Maine as indicating revival of business, es- pecialiy in smaller vessels and with satisfaction by ship chandlers as a re- turn to the outftting conditions for sailing vessels which made their trade so profitable in former years.
 The barge line owners claim that limiting the number of vessels in a tow to three will necessitate additional expense which will mean a rise in the price of fuel to the consumer.
 On the other hand the shipping in- terests are strong in the opinion that the order is not sufficiently radical. as 1t fails to deal with the long distance Latowing from the Chesapeake and Del aware capes to northern waters. Sailing masters complain that there is nothing to prevent a tug leaving Newport News with six barges lashe together in two divisions of three each and after getting outside the capes of | the Chesapeake to string them out 1 into tow two miles long.

MeAalnr Rlnr storr.

It was the habit of Rev. Janes Sturgeon. grandfather of the great preacher of that name, to pray each evening under d certain aok tree In a secluded wood in Honey wood Park.
 one night he dreamed. the story goes. that Satan appeared and threat ened to tear him in pieces if he fol- lowed his accustomed route to the tree. There was another path by which he might go~in safety.
 Remembering his dream, spurgeon felt soreiv tempted to take the rote in which Satan was not. But this would be to capitulate. Trembling in every limb. he made his way by the path in which the danger lay. He reached his goal in safety. and In prayer and song returned thanks for delivery from peril. When his prayer had ended he rose to return
 In his path lay a piece of solid gold ''as large as a curtain ring" All in- ouiry falling to discover an owner. he retained 1t, and when he married had his wife's wedding ring made from his curious find.

HIGH SCHOOL pIscussIoN.

Southern EducatfomnI Aeaociatlon VIII
 Consider Their Grant.
 The most conspicuous development in public education in the South with in the last five years has been in the secondary schools. Within this period practically every city and town has enlarged or heightened it's course of study, and many towns that did not previously have high schools have es- tabiished them. Many of the States have made appropriations out of the State treasury to encourage and assist counties and rural communities to es- tabiish and maintain public high schools as a part of the county school system. At least one (Rentucky) has eracted laws requiring the County Boards of Education to establish and plaintain such schools in every county iu The State. The State of Alabama has made an appropriation of $2.000 to each county in the State for the es- tablishment and maintenance of one public high school, and local communi- ties are adding large sums to the State appropriations. Mississippi Is appro- priating 31.0O0 year to each county for agricultural high schools: In the virginias, the sCaroiinas, Florida, Ten nessee. Louisiana. Texas and Missouri. more public high schools have been establish cd within the last few years than existed in tha United States fifty years ago. The people of the South have ai last accepted the policy of public school education, from the prt- mary sch ool to the university. and are working rapidly and energetically to- ward the completion of this system, at least in it's beginning. Just now the emphasis in country and city in on the high school.
 And this makes the high schooi- its support organization, place and function--a question of chief interest in all the educational associations of this section. In the program of the Atlanta meeting of the Southern Edu- cational Association an entire evening, that of Tuesday, Dec. 2s. win be de-
 voted to a discussion of the public and private high school, with special emphasis on some phase of the high school course of study. Papers will l be read by Principal c Allen Holt oi Holt'a School. Oak Ridge, N. C.; pr. l Henry S. west, assistant superintend-
 ent of the public schools of Baltimore Mss, Nettie Sergeant. principal of the Girls High School. Atlanta, pr. Frank 1 lin L. Riley. professor of history in the University of Mississippi. and oth- CTS. Besides the discussion of this
 subject in the general program. the department of secondary education has arrang sd very full and. complete after noon programs for each of the three days of the session of the Association. This. will probably be the subject of chief interest at this meeting of the Association, and the result of the dis eussions should be a still more rapid and complete development of this plan | of o,lr educational work

 IS TIPPED Council to Wrestle Over Finance. ELECTION OF A CITY CLERK
 ~ Street Tax Now Regarded as Fore gone Conclusion.
 s--- City Fstbers Keen to All Devices for Raising Monex--City Tax Inc .peetor May Be Pulled
 Through. .

Two important matters will be dis cussed at the meeting of the City coun- ell tonight. In all probability the choice of City Clerk will be mace and the new street tax will be passed.
 Tt seema more than probable that Acting City Clerk Cowan will pc ap- noInted to the position, but he VIII not keen if. He has said he will take the work until the Councilmen decide on Clark hut his resignation will De nied as soon as he is elected. to take eHece as soon as another man IS eiecleo " i'll the office for the unexpird term.
 The street tax. as was ahnounse1 " sofne of the Aldermen more than q month ago. Is practically a foregone cbuclusioF,, The Finance Committee ahcfded 10 make the report and recoH- rsendation when the matter of raising q srevenue, for the city first became bie question. It will be reported ta- vorably at Council tonight and SO Tar no one has expressed disapproyal It is likely that motor car tax, dog tax and COW tax, and possibly others. will be ouribussed through with It.
 Tn spite of the continued kicks from sections of the city where paving is proposed. at almost every. CoHncil meeting new ordinances for paving are introduced. Two or three are sched- uled to be reported tonight and the chances are, like the rest, they will be killed.
 The office of city tax inspector will come up for hnal discussion, and. it is believed. will be created. At first Mayor Teague did not favor 1t much. but since thinking 1t over. his position, although not announced, Is said to have changed to some extent. Most of the Aldermen are in favor of the measure. for the city Is annually losing large sum through inadequate means of col lection.
 Just now money is paramount in the interest of the Council. The loss of the license for liquor houses has handi- capped the treasury materially, and anything that will tend to bring money to the municipal coffers. will be favor- ably looked upon. Besides these items of income, the Finance Committee is wrestling. with a new license schedule to go into effect January 1, and sev- eral businesses and personal property hAretofore not taxed or licensed will be included in the income list.
 The meeting tonight promises to be A live and interesting one for almost every Alderman has something to bring up that will call for careful attention

TAX COMMISSION
HEARS EVIDENCE
Public Session Held To-day at the state
House at Montpelier Over Proposed
Tax Reform in Vermont.


The state commission to consider tax
reform in Vermont gave public hear
ing at the State House in Montpelier
to.day, the morning session being called
to order at ten o'clock John G. Gale
of Guiford favored cutting of all Off
sets for debts owing, and to meet the
deficiency III revenue to the state in some
other manner ii il said the deficiency
would be $1,000 ITe also favored ex-
emption on money loaned on real estate
at low rate.
Dr. William Stanford Stevens Of St.
Albans asked for liberality in the tax
law, SO that rich men from the outside
would not feel barred from coming in
and placing their money. He thought
that corporations ought to pay local
taxes rather than tax to the state,
with the state licensing the corpora
tions. He objected to what he termed
the inquisitorial features Of the present
law
f. N. Bacon Of Chelsea and G. r..
Smith OF Morrisyille were other speak
ers, the former being the last speaker
this forenoon and the latter going be-
fore the commission this afternoon. It
developed that of the 1856 inventories
examined by the agents Of the commits

Of the law.
