Cairo has been blazoned all over
the state as horrible example in
the matter of overeharges on school
books. 1t being charged that tine
patrons of schools in this city arc
compelled TO pay 50 much more for
their school books than are those Of
schools in other states, that the trust
profit amounts 20 S35 per cent Books
sold in Cairo for so cents are In Ohio
IS cents. And yet Cairo does not
pay any more than other cities in
the state: but all the cities In this
state pay too much. as Is clearly
shown by comparative price lists.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

y large lot of the bonds of the Potomac
Electric Power consolidated per cent
bonds were sold today at the meeting OF
the stock exchange. For a time the bid
ding for them was quite brisk and the
bonds went off in great style at 103ls.
The demand. however, at that price
ceased, sooner, apparently, than the sup
ply, but the broker who was selling stood
out for his price and SO nothing more was
done.
The only other occurrence of interest al
The meeting was the trading in gas stock
which in some particulars was Il re-
minder of the days, now several weeks
past, when gas stock was an active factor
in the market There was the same buyer
as of yore, who was in fact, the only
buyer.
The sellers were more numerous, and
apparently they had good supply OF
stock for sale at 6S1.. Over a hundred
shares were disposed of at that figure
and then the bid fell an eighth of point
but that was not sufficient to attract sell
ers, and so no more business was done.
The aggregate reached in the sales OF
bonds on the local stock exchange during
t he past week ran into pretty high fig
ures. but did not reach the highest point
in the record since the beginning of the
present year. That record was made foi
the week ending May 10. when the tota
sales of bonds was $l0SOO0.
1t is also noted that during this period
there has been an advance in the figures
for these bonds, and as the market has
broadened and enlarged in volume it has
also shown an increase in values.
The leading securities of this class In
the market "a. the present time are those
of the two traction companies and of the
Electric Power Company. The bonds OF
the gas and of the telephone companies
are also dealt in. but not to the same ex.
4 at Ia st in
classes mentioned.
1t is suppose that the excellence of the
bond market is an indication of the ease
Of the money market.
