The failure of the Reading reorganization plan was a prominent factor in restricting the dealings as well as In creating the general depression which took possession of the market in the early dealings. London waa a small seller of Reading and Illinois Central, and American securities were weak on the London toek Exchange, 'which add(1 t) t I If VlH vlntHM r f ifotx Vlfhm a rvi r As the day advanced and the engagement of 12,200,000 gold for shipment to-morrow waa announced, the weakness increased and the selling was in sxeater ' volume. Thpw were occasional feeble rallies extending only to a part of the JiK, but the trend of prices was downward and the market, closed weak, prices, except in a few instances, being below the closing sales of Monday. In the railway list, the depression was great in the granger group. Large blocks of these . slocks were offered for sale; rumor had it ,that tlw liquidation was for inside interests and that it was- due to decreased earnings Which WOM 111 tip tniwlo until rent In lh..

New Jersey Central and Readying were heavy and declined each, 1 per cent., the last being the lowest price made in both cases. The pressure to sell Read- ' Ing was by no means great, and under the circumstances the shares showed remarkable steadiness. The other more important losses in the railway department were: Manbattan. ; Louisville & New Albany, ; New Vork. Chicago & St. Iuis second preferred. 1; Erie preferred, 2'i and Erie preferred common, per vent. Erie waa uepessed by an unconfirmed rumor that the reorganization scheme had been definitely abandoned. Of the industrial stocks Suear was the most active and weakest. The bears hammered the shares continually, causing a break of 2 per cent., of which 'nly was regained at the close. Chicago Oas Is down 1, Consolidated Gas and Rubber preferred, 1; Consolidated Gas and Rubber common. ?. and Tobacco, i.

There was a firm tone to trading in the bond market during the morning, but in the later dealings there were some recessions induced by the heaving of the share speculation. The dealings were moderate and aggregated $8o3.590,000. our. of which South- ' 'tflaiSZ ert ifaileiL ln t( h extent of $146,000. and Atchison fours $121,000.

To the Editor of the Indianaixills Journal: I desire to offer a few suggestions as to the time that the township trustees should be Installed in office, and tho manner of selecting county superintendents of schools. Under the present arrangement teachers are often compelled to wait till the newlyelected trustees are Installed, In August, before making their contracts to teach. In the meantime circumstances often arise by which teachers who have had schools promised them are disappointed and are left out for the winter. It seems prudent that the Legislature should enact a law requiring the lately-elected trustees and those to be elected hereafter, to take the oath of office In April, as formerly provided. This would do away with the waiting process to which so many teachers are now subjected, and do them the justice of letting them know what to depend upon. There is evidently an injustice in depriving the school boards of Incorporated towns and cities of a voice In the choice of county superintendents of schools, since the teachers ln towns and cities must pass the teachers' examination under the county superintendent, and receiva their license from him. The trustees of incorporated towns must also make reports to the county superintendent, and, since this is so. It seems but Just that the trustees of Incorporated towns should have a voice in choosing the person who is to act as overseer of their schools. The enactment of a law to install the trustees in April and give town trustees a voice in the selection of county superintendents would certainly be a great improvement over the present arrangement.

BEARS WERE ON TOP

IX FACE OF UlLLISH XEWS THEY POINDED THE PRICE OF WHEAT. AH Grain Suffered front Much SellIiikt and the Prices Declined Along; with Provisions. CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Free selling weakened wheat to-day despite bullish news, and May closed c lower. May corn lost 14c, May oats 14c and provisions finished at declines. The business of the year in the wheat pit commenced with a slight inclination to the bearish side, luere was not any Immediate material change from the prices prevailing at the close of Monday's session, but sellers were in the majority and crowded their . offerings in larger volume than the market could absorb. The general features of the eafly news favored the bulls. Liverpool was reported firm at M& advance for red American wheat. Receipts in this country were light, exports of fair volume and inquiry for export reported to be good. The flrst transactions in May were at from 57c to 57(5778c, and a gradual decline to 57(&57l2e occupied th fluctuations during the next two hours. The heavy export trade reported from the seaboard caused a reaction to ic and the price kept between 570 and 57c during the greater part of the remainder of the session. The receipts inspected here since Monday are sixty-six carloads. Minneapolis reported receipts of 151 cars and Dulutn 196, making for the two places, 347, compared with 647 on Jan. 2. last year. New York reported an excellent demand for cash wheat. The big bears in this market sat on it with all their ponderous weight and did nothing but point at the amount of wheat in the visible supply, and sell to bulls. May closed at 57V4c. , Corn was weak and lower, with a fair amount of trading. The receipts were equal to the liberal estimates made on Monday. The opening price for May was 484c, and that was the highest it sold at. It worked gradually down to 4747e, and, could not get higher again after tnat than 47c. The weakness in wheat near the end had a depressing effect on com ana caused the market to close very weak at 47c for May. The market for oats was inclined to drag. The easy feeling noticeable was influenced entirely by the heaviness in the corn crowd. May started a shade up from, Monday's last quotation at 3194c, fold down to 3114c and closed at 31c tor May. Provisions were weak, influenced by heavy live hog receipts. Selling toy packers aided hi the decline. May porn closed 30c lower, May lard .15c lowei and May ribs ,12V4c lower.

Jan. 2. The ' American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool trade: "The market for fine domestic fleeces, which are in light demand is very quiet. There is fair inquiry for blood, for cheviots and more or less business in medium Wools, which are fairly firm in price. Pulled and scoured wools have been in good request;- the feature of the week, however, has been Australian of which there has been considerable sale, there being a run on fair goods for which Austral a, better than anything else, will give the requisite finish. A little better feeling obtains abroad; but no great Improvement Is anticipated unless they get heavy American' orders, which is deemed doubtful. An establishment of wool prices Is not looked for till the March sales in London. The sales of the week amount to 1,209,450 pounds domestic and 1,445,500 pounds foreign, making a total of 2,654,950 pounds against a total of 2,905,300 pounds for the previous week and a total of 1,884,100 pounds for the corresponding week last year." The same paper in its! semi-annual review of mill construction throughout the country to-morrow will say: "During the past six months, the improvement in the general business situation of the country has been reflected in no uncertain maner in the undertaking of the construction of a large number of textile plants. In the fir3t six months of the year 1894 the number of new mills was 113 a wonderful showing, considering the condition of the business world. The record for the year is 263 mills against 279 in the' corresponding year of 1893, and 56 for 1892. The record of mills acquired by States for the whole year is as follows: New Y'ork, 38; Pennsylvania, 36; North Carolina, 26; South Carolina, 23; Georgia, 193: Massachusetts, 15; Maine, 11; Virginia and .Rhode Island, each; Texas and Connecticut 7 each the remaining establishments being divided among the other States. After looking over the imposing list of additions both in buildings and machinery no other conclusion can be reached than that the American manufacturer Is thoroughly alive to the need of a modern improved appliance in order to meet successfully both the domestic and foreign competitor, and he goes into the field fully prepared to hold the domestic market against all comers. Very important additions have been made by a large number of companies, some being such as to double the caoaclty of the mills."

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: My attention has been called to an article In your paper regarding . "canceled stamps," in which you would seem to carry the Idea that these things are all "fakes," and that the crippled girl is a myth. Now, I do not know anything about the crippled girl mentioned at Kanevllle, 111., but I do know that the little crippled girl of North Dakota Is not a myth. She was very real, and has succeeded ln making the -collection of one million stamps, and has gotten her limbs and is enjoying them very much. My attention was drawn to the Kanevllle girl, and I responded to the very moderate request without making any investigation of the case, but gave her the benefit of the doubt, as it was certainly very little that was asked for her, and even if it was a "fake" and she a "myth" it did me no harm.
