President Harrison, who Is an American Mechanic, said In one of his recent speeches: "You have not failed to make sure that the children, the blessed children of your houses, that are now coming, are made secure in their position of a well endowed school system. What a testimony it is to the American character; that however in tense the push for the things of life; however eager the pursuit of gain, you can never assemble a community of 200 people that do Jjot begin to organize schools for the chil dren. These common schools are not simply nurseries of intellectual training: thev are nurseries of citizenship.-"1 The Juniors are determined to make the excursion to Cleveland a big success. The low rate of transportation has already in- viutuu liuuureus oi memDjrs to maKe ar rangements for the trip, and the Forest City will surely be crowded with Mechanics 'dur ing the session of the National Council.

M., as a local "feeder" for that council, the membership being re stricted to persons between the ages of 16 and 21 years, with the object of preparing the younger element for admission Into the O. U.A.M. For a number of years Washing ton Council existed alone, and it was not until 1SB0 that the order was snfflclentlv strong to organize a State Council. On March IS the State Council was organized in the town hall of German town, eight councils being represented. In 1S79 the action which severed tho Junior from the senior order was finally taken, and the former began its work as an independent organization. Its native State, Pennsylvania, is the strong hold of theorder, Its progress in otherStates having been somewhat slow; but wherever it has found a foothold it has stayed, and its further prosperity Is but a matter of time.

The Indications favor its adoption, but we miss our guess If the ultimate result Is not disappointing. We do not say this in any spirit of unfriendliness to the plan, but merely to caution stockholders against sot ting their hopes too high. We believe that 100 shares of non-assenting common stock will sell for mora money to-day than 60 shares of assenting common stock will bring six months from now. 'Tne course of the Traction siocks tne past few days has fully verified the remarks in our letter of one month ago. This class of securities will eventually become as prime Investments as bank shares or good bonds. Just at present, however, several of the Issues coming npon the market are sur charged with speculative elements, and wo look for active trading, accompanied by more or less Interesting manipulation. In this connection an important fact should not be Ignored. During the. past few years Pittsburg traders have Deoomo educated to playing the 'short' side of the market, as profits have been overwhelmingly on that side. This has given a broader basis to tho trading, and wfllbo found an ever present support in times of trouble. It maybe ex pected, therefore, that should speculation carry prices to the unreasonable height reached two years ago, the 'shorts' will be come a potent factor in the market. "A word as to the outlook for the money market. For the past fortnight the public has heard of nothing but gold exports and the unsettled condition of foreign finances. It is natural that oven in the interior undue Importance should be attached to this sub ject, since every one remembers that the 'credit panic' which swept over this coun try last fall followed upon the heels of the foreign Collapse. The conditions now, how ever, are entirely different, and especially is this true of Pittsburg. One of tho most emi nent bankers In New York writes us that he expects additional shipments of gold this month, and a (steady to firm money market throughout the summer, but no one antici pates the stringency which prevailed with more or less severity throughout the last half of 1890. "Here in Pittsburg the statements Just made by our banks show them to bo in a stronger position than they have occupied for years; local stocks have just begun to rally from a depression which has continued since the spring of '89; the iron trade is improving, and railroad business is picking up, so that the outlook is certainly brighter tnan for a long time past."

The stock market to day was -active, and while weak at first, rallied sharply, nearly recovering the early losses and bringing prices -up close to those of last evening. The general expectation, In view of tho extraordinary heavy ship ments of gold for the last two weeks, was that the bank statement would show a serf, ous decrease in the reserves, If not a com plete loss of the reserves. There was, there fore, a vigorous effort to sell all the stocks which the market would take in the early trading, and although there was undoubted ly good support given many of tho leading shares, the effect was to make an extremely feverish and withal weak market. The-support was apparently withdrawn toward 11 o'clock and' tho pressure to sell became more urgent, so that a sharp decline all along the line brought prioes down from 1 to 2 per cent from last evening's figures, and the lowest prices of the week were reached. In the downward movement, Manhattan, Chicago Gas, Louisville and Nashville, Pacifio Mail. Union Pacific and Eock Island were specially prominent. The Turning Point Is Beached. The strongest spot In the list was the Northern Pacifies. They were helpedby the cable advices from Berlin, which gave Inter views with some influential officers of the Deutsche Bank, In which they expressed great friendship for Mr.Villard and depre cated the recent stories of a break between that gentleman nnd the bank. The bank statement, however, when it appeared, showed a small increase in the reserves in stead of tho loss expected, and there was a rush to buy, greater, even, than theprevlous pressure to sell, and prices rallied very sharply, recovering, in the 15 minutes left to do business, almost all the losses of the morning. . There was most excellent bnyingof tho Northern Pacifies, Missouri Pacifio, the Wheeling and Lake Erles, Rock Island and Union Pacific, but the entire list shared in the improvement, which was matp.rial in nil portions. The market closed active and strong at the recovery. The final changes are generally small fractional losses, but the Jcorthern Paciflc3 aro higher, and Louisville and Nashville i3 down V& and Pacific Maill per cent. Eallroad bonds were quiet and followed closely the movements in tho share list, being weak In the early dealings but stiffen ing up later. The final changes aro, as usual, Insufficient among the active Issues, but Seattle Lake Shore firsts lost 3f, at 98. What Henry Clews Sayg, Henry Clews, In his weekly letter, says: The marked intrinsic buoyancy of the stock market continues to be held in check by tho large special exports of specie, and hence it becomes important to understand the causes and tho probable duration of the gold out flow and the bearing it Should legitimately have npon confidence and the course of the local money market. Primarily, the exports seem to have risen from the urgencies of Bussian finance. The consequent large and sudden drain upon the European stocks of gold, coming close upon the deep disturbance of confidence arising from the financial com plications in South America, has caused Continental banks to recoup themselves for the loss by getting gold from every possible source; and naturally the drain has been especially directed toward the United States. The panic in Lisbon, the uneasiness at Madrid and the alarm in Paris during the past week, are illustrations of the way In which these causes are acting upon European banking interests. The trouble In those cities, however, seems to have been adjust ed, and that fact has partially restored con fidence. - Nevertheless, the situation is shrouded in uncertainty. While this uncertainty prevails, we must stand exposed to a continuance of tho de mand on New York for gold; and Thursday's significant advance of the Bank of Eng land's rate of discount from i to 5 percent was no doubt made with that end In view. It is not easy to determine what may be the present ability of Europe to draw upon this country. The recent large exports of gold uao uccu uueuut oniy 10 our neavy ma turing obligations on account of special im portations made in anticipation ofthe oper ation of the new tariff duties, hut also to tho remittance of foreign banking balances resting here for employment. How far the latter resource against cash remittances possible to estimate; but even had it been exhausted (whioh is not supposableh there would still remain ways in which Europe could get gold from us through borrowing here, were the pressure urgent enough to Justify the cost of suoh operations. On one point we may quite safely bo confi dentthat in spite of the shallow prophecies about the loss of gold threatening serious danger from the operation of the new silver act, neither the gold already exported nor any further early .amounts that may possi bly follow, can be fraught with anymore serious Inconvenience than a temporary stringency in the local money market. It does not seem to bo sufficiently appreciated that, within recent years, a very important change has ocourrea in the distribution of gold, so far as respects the United States. Between the years 1862 and 1877 inclusive, wo made a net export oft $585,000,000 of gold; while during the period of 1878 to 18?C we made a net import of $180,000,000, there hav ing been only three years within the last 13 during whicn the export of that metal has exceeded the import. With such a largo and proeressive accumulation of 'this metal, it surely cannot be such an alarming ciroum- Biuiiuu win we nave exported some $2,uuu,uou since the beginning of April, and especially when there Is "such a clear prospect that the next naryest win put us so largely in a cred be a steamgauge showing the pressure we are under. Currency from the interior is the safety valve. The following table shows tho prices of active stocka on the New York Stock Excnangeresterdaj'.

Yesterday's closing prices as compared with those of tho previous Saturday show gains in all the Tractions, Pipeage, Monongahela Water Company, Switch and Signal, Air brake and Underground Cable. Philadelphia and Chartiers Gas, Luster and Electrio lost a. fraction each. Tho rest of the list was steady to firm. The most important gains were scored by Duquesne, Pittsburg and Birmingham Tractions and Standard Under ground Cable, ranging from three to six points, the lattter leading the advance. Electric maintained its position as the center of interest, chiefly on account of the promulgation of the reorganization scheme and the discussion which it occasioned.

In tho mean time, the harvest prospects and the current good earnings of the railroads are improving the 'intrinsic value of stocks, insuring an active market when these tlnanoial clouds have been dispelled. What Oakley & Co. Eecelvcd. John M. Oakley & Co.'s Wall street wire brought the following yesterday: Wall street had a genuine surprise party this morning In the hank statement, which . either paralyzed oramuse'd everybody. There are a good many, guessers down here and some of them are likely to hit almost everything wnicn nappens, due 11 is saie 10 say tnat no one, from the youngest messenger to Jay Gould, would have guessed this result; it actually showed a gain of $148,000 on re serves, the requlremen: Deing lowered a million and a quarter by a decrease of $5,000, 000 in deposits. This actual loss of money was $1,100,000, the year's loss in specie of $3,775,000 having heen offset to the extent of $2,646,000 by legal tenders. This is the money received from the interior, and it cut a larger figure In bank figures than had been anticipated. Well, when the bank state ment appeared at 11:45 a. sr. it needed no braces, for prices had been on the down turn and melted away under a renewal of tho gold and money scare. London was lower on consols and Ameri cans, and cables from Europe weie disquiet ing. Fears were expressed that a general European collapse is imminent, and that it will extend to commercial circles there, and uiac we snail Detioinpeueuiogiveupenougn fold to produco stringency here. That is ho alarmist's scare, and it may have enough in it to cause another down turn next week. The buying In the last hour to-day was to cover shorts, for the bears had been calculating without their host, and they were corresponamgiy rattled. Nearly every man who sells stocks now has a string attached to them so that he can pull them back" at a lower price. Very few havo sold out to stay out; they only tako to port till the squall blows overrknowihg that good weather will soon appear. The general and special homo conditions aro all right and indlcdtivo of great prosperity, and .the only cloud upon the horizon is the specter of Euiopean disasters. Six months have elapsed since the Baring Brothers' embar rassment, and It seems as if matters abroad must have been so far healed as to prevent an open breaking out. Monday Is a holiday In London.

Reports of general rain falls In the Southwestern wheat belt, circu lated on the Board of Trade at the opening this morning, changed the speculative situa tion in the wheat pit, as it qnieted all talk of damage by dry weather, and temporarily silenced the talk of Insect damage. It was thought that the copious rains In Kansas had certainly drowned out the chinch hugs. Acting on this theory the hear leaders made a little more aggressive campaign, and they had great help In the shape of selling orders from the Southwest and from outsiders gen" erally. The local demand was not great. In fact, local traders seemed to be simply acting against their privileges. Whenever the mar ket reached the price' at which "puts" had sold last night, the holders of these privi leges, having an insurance against loss, Would do a little buying. Any bulge, how ever, orougnt most of this wheat on the mar ket azain. Amoncr the bullish news were the favorable New York hank statement, con tinued dry weather and prospects for a late crop season of the Northwest, advices from San Francisco that buying by France there had been- renewed, generally firm cables and estimates of a heavy decrease in the visible supply. In the face of all this, however, the heavy pressure to sell hv local hears and the representatives of New York. 6t. Louis and other houses gave the market a decidedly weak tone during most of the day. July opened at $1 02 and immediate ly broke to $1 02, and rallied to $1 02; de clined to $1 0 recovered to $1 02, sagged off and closed at $10 "Cora started with an appearance of strength, hut it was very quickly dissipated, when It became known that the predictions of frost In the Northwest corn belt made for last night were not verified. Instead of suf fering damage, the young corn plants were honented hy rain. This caused holders of property to throw it on Jhe market, and these offerings, coupled with the weakness In wheat, gave a decidedly heavy tone to the market. July, which opened at 5959Xc, sold straight down to 58Jic, and after a slight rany uroppeu 10 aiyit closing 1 point nigner. Oats ranged lower because of the rainfall, which did away with talk of damage hy the oat louse, the net loss for the day Deing c.
