Started but a few months ago with little more than six names it now had membership of over one hundred. Their position as a society, he said, was purely social one and they were de- lighted at seeing such a hearty re- sponse on the part of the ladies in try ing to make the first attempt at re- union success. He concluded by trust ing all would have very happy even ing. Colonel Healey in a few well chosen remarks introduced Colonel N G. Osborn. The gallant colonel after telling his audience several humorous incidents that put them in a happy frame of mind remarked at some length on the Monday night closing movement.

He always liked to have people with him that could play hard while at play. It made them better servants while at work He advised the cooperation of the employees with the employers to bring early closing about. Be not bash full, nor yet aggressive Strike happy medium in presenting your argument that thoughtful consideration by your employers would yield good results. He concluded by wishing the society God speed in it's work.

ricea Advanced Early Ye.terday.

Prices Advanced Enriy Yesterday. New York, June 13.--Prices advanced early to-day under the two fold influ- ence of better tone on foreign stock markets and some relief by rain in the drouth stricken districts in the north- west The movement in the wheat markets indicated that the fate of the spring wheat crop is by no means yet decided Some of the Wall street spec ulators take the ground that the relief has come too late to save much Of the crop The northwestern grain carrying roads in fact failed to share in the strength of the days market and the grangers as a group came late into the movement. After the arbitrage brokers had ceased to operate, the market be- came exceedingly narrow and listless with little of note The strength of Americans in London was attributed to the rains in the northwest. Profession al traders here also laid some stress on the expected arrival late to-day of q prominent financer from visit in Eu- rope. The exports of gold, which mounted to a figure in excess of the estimates, or S3,500000 in all, had no ef- feet whatever in the stock market. A feature of the day was the rally in the steel stocks, due to reports of prospects of an enlarging export demand for iron The market closed firm and with gains well maintained. The strength in for eign stock markets was attributed to the easier money conditions in London and to the expectation that the bank of England would reduce its official dis count rate tomorrow. No deep appre- hension exists as to the immediate fu- ture of the money market. Sugar and the New York city stocks shared in the strength of the days market
