and there must be in New Haven many times three hundred people to whom the committee has been to make no person. al appeal. yet who are willing, glad to help in giving clean, happy summer to some hundreds of little ones. This mon ey may be sent to Mrs Leo Herz treas- urer, 72 Edwards stbset.
 In the next place there is an urgent call for toys for the playgrounds; dolls, balls, picture books, the half-worn toys that your own children have cast aside, games and, best of all, books for the wished-for 'quiet room" on Wallace street. Andersen, Grimm and the Alice books are just as dear to the heart of the tenement child as to your own Old baby carriages are invaluable. They save the arms of many tired little mother who has to mind the baby sister during all the hot weather. All these may be sent to Mrs. c. S. De Forest, 412 Humphrey street.
 And finally flowers, garden and field flowers, to give to the children. One sight of those children waiting in pa- tient rows for the chance of a single blossom, one sight of the grip of the dingy little fists, as blossom in hand, they trot away to their flowerless homes, no other plea for flowers should be needed. From city garden or subur- ban field bring what flowers you can. It takes many blossoms to go the rounds of playground or school, yet the ef- fort of getting them is justified, for it is impossible to estimate the humani- Zing influence of the flowers.
 And. above all, a word to the owners of city homes that are to be closed for the summer. Don't leave your gardens and borders to go to seed. Gladly the committee will go to pick the flowers you are leaving to run to waste. Send your names and addresses together with permission to glean from your gardens to the chairman of the committee, Mrs. Kinksley Blake, 337 Humphrey street In this way hundreds of little people will be made happy by the blossoms that otherwise would remain untouched.

 At Wooster school the yard will be
 open for the little children only, and in addition certain rooms of the building | will be opened for vacation school, | In that region the boys are likely to be
 in the majority, so a course of manual l training will be added to the studies l which otherwise will be like those car
 ried on at zunder.
 In both Wooster and the Zunder dis i tricts this vacation work has gained a | foothold and proved it's right to exist. In the Grand avenue quarter, in the thick of the Italian tenement life lies the new point of attack. Here, as in Oak street, the babies swarm; here, as
 there the sanitary conditions and the
 street scenes make it peculiarly desir- able that, in so far as possible, the chil- dren should be kept in more wholesome
 surroundings. In getting an entrance to this district the committee is under
 almost unlimited obligation to Father Russell, of St Patrick's church, for his interest, sympathy and hearty support. Through his influence and by the gene rosity of the Young Mems T. A. B. the building occupied by them on Wallace street is to be given up to vacation uses; through the liberality of Father Russell the yard surrounding this build ing is being enclosed by fence eight feet high, a needful barrier against in vasion. The yard will be used for a playground and the ground floor of the building will be opened for kindergar- ten room. Above is a room for the sew ing classes and another where it is hoped to have a quiet room" In which the older children may find at least the beginnings of library and some games.
 Miss Jessie Scranton, whose efficient work in the Zunder yard was of such solid value last year, is to be the super intendent of these schools and play grounds since the committee feels that the work has outgrown the care of amateurs and must be placed in expe- rienced hands. Under Miss Scranton's supervision fourteen teachers and kin are lO nave tIlt NOl IA uHeCl- ly in charge. Such work, to succeed cannot be left to untrained or incompe- tent persons. and the committee has been fortunate enough to obtain some of the best teachers of the city. These teachers are already comforting with each other and with the chairman of the committee in regard to the details of the summer campaign.
 The generosity of the public has made | it possible for the committee to develop it's plans up to this point. There are still few things needful, however. So | much has been given that, for the sake | of perfecting the work, the committee | feels itself justified in making one last 1 appeal

THE STOCK MARKET,
Net Gains for the Majority of Sioel


 New York, May 20,-Several incidents helped professional traders in putting up prices of stocks to-day. A selling move ment in the last fifteen minutes of trading, however made some wide breaches in val ues, and the closing was rather weak, but with net gains saved for the majority of stocks. Sugar continued to occupy pre- ponderating share of attention. A further advance of ten cents per hundred pounds in the price of refined sugar was the occasion of the strength ill the stock. The Ameri- can company led ill the advance and it's competitors In the trade quickly followed. Wall street gave much attention to the movements of representatives, of the va rious companies as bearing on the problem whether the rival interests had or had not come to an agreement for a settlement of the trade war. The moderate price move ment ill the stock in view of the news seemed to indicate that the short interest had been largely eliminated. After adyAnc- ing something over points, profit taking turned the price Dackwards. L9ndon on noa shares, Louisville being in special demand for that account. This buying which gave the opening tone to the market was based on the favorable war news and the easier money conditions In London. The eve Of a holiday invariably leads to the closing up of accounts, and buying for the shorts was an element of strength to-day. Some rellet was felt at the non-occurrence or further financial difficulties.
 The iron and steel stocks were strong, led by Steel Hoop on the favorable annual statement. Confirmation of reports of an arrangement for the absorption of Standard Gas by the Consolidated Gas company were q favorable infuencN-
 Railroad earnings so far as reported were good. The room traders were disposed to the bull slde on the general ground that the market was due for rise in yiaW Of th~ irmness displayed in face of the two brokerage failures last week and this, but these various elements of strength, it cannot be said that the senfi- ment for an advance was very deep rooted. Uneasiness continues over the reactlonary tendency of business and especially over the decline in freight traffic and well de- fined reports of resulting cutting of rates. The need of rain in the spring wheat belt is also a cause of enXiety.

 sources.
 "To him that hath shall be given"
 The Vacation school and playground committee has so much that it should have a little more. Of the twelve hun dred dollars to be raised for this sum mer's work, nine hundred dollars is all ready in the hands of the committee. In any case, this sum would make it impossible honorably to withdraw from the projected work; little more will make it easy to carry out the entire plan which the committee has formula ted and undertaken. It should be borne in mind that work like this must not be left to the chance of the last hour To manage it frugally and thoroughly, plans must be made for every detail and teachers must be engaged weeks before hand. The early responses to the call for support have justified the committee in outlining their plans as they have done
 In brief form. these plans have al- ready been given to the public. They extend and broaden the work of last season, even as that was distinct ad- vance over the beginnings of vacation work in the summer of '9S. Last year there were two playgrounds and one vacation school there were two crowd- ed districts given this breath of fresh air, the Italian and Irish quarter of Wooster and East streets and the Rus sian Jew quarter centering in Oak and Commerce streets. This year there are to be three playgrounds and two schools, and new district is to be in- vaded that of the Italian quarter along Grand avenue, crammed tenement district which is a close second to Oak street.
 First as to the old districts. At the Zunder school the yard will be open just as in past seasons. There will be games, kindergarten training and sew ing classes for the little children. In the school itself older children will have lessons in science, reading, sewing, | work light and varied, yet coherent | This school consists largely of girls | partly because the Jew boys are sent out to sell the noon papers, partly on account of the Hebrew lessons required | of the boys, For that reason it would | seem especially desirable here to have simple course in domestic training, to teach them to make the best and the cleanest of the homes from which they come, to give them some notion of the |
