UNIVERSITY NOTES
PREPARATIONS FOR THE OPEN
ING OF THE AUTUMN
TERM.
partment-Prof. Nelson Discovers
a New Sage-Prof. Slosson Returns
from Chicago-Interest in Football
Grows Rapidly.

I A preparatory department in connec-
ton with the state university is a ne
cessary evil in the west where the COL
lege must draw its students from the
country districts and from small towns
that do not afford adequate preparation
for college work. In Wyoming particu-
larly, where only a few towns possess
facilities for high school work, where
for the most part laboratories and 9TH
er necessary equipments cannot be
provided, where 1t is impossible to give
work in Greek and the modern lang
uages, a university preparatory course
is essential. 1t is practicable, more
over, to require for entrance only the
generally taught studies, the so-called
called common branches. A state in
titution can maintain n and only n
standard for admission. No individual
who presents himself at the scheduled
time and place can be denied examin-
atoms in required studies nor entrance
IL he satisfies the requirements. For
the e few years the entrance stand
ard must be raised, chiefly by the
greater severity Of the tests offered. A
new subject has, however, been added
this year to the list Of branches re-
quired for entrance, namely, physical
geography. On account Of the late an
nouncement Of this added requirement
a course in the subject will be offered
this year.
Prof. Nelson has recently returned
from a botanical trip to Evanston,
where he was so lucky as to discover a
new sage.
The assistant for the business college
has not yet been appointed but 1t Is
hoped that before long the. position will
he filled. The assistant will teach
bookkeeping and typewriting.

Q O
With the opening of the university
football becomes a topic Of interest to
all college students. At our own col
lege it is expected that there will be
more enthusiasm this year over the
game than formerly. The manager of
the team has secured for this year the
services of a good football coach, Mr..
McMurrrey Of Boulder, who will be in
Laramie some time next week. AS soon
as possible after the opening Of the uni
versity, practice will begin and it is
hoped that some DOM in the building
can be fixed for the use Of the team So
that stormy weather will not prevent
practicing. Arrangements have already
been made for two games for our team
and it is probable that several others
will be played during the present year.

The catalogue for 'OO-'O1 contains as
a new feature a time schedule which
gives the hour for each recitation.
This has been completed after much
work, but will be of great value in as
much as it will do away with the con-
fusion arising from conflicts which al
ways occur at the beginning Of the
term. Regular students will now be
able to arrange their work with little
trouble and irregular students will be
obliged to fit their studies to the sched-
ule.

.PYROTECHNICS IN
 THE STOCK MARKET Prices Went Up Like a Rocket
 and Fell Hard HAD A STRONG UNDER TONE Character of the Stocks Affected and the Violence of Jump in Prices Gave Suggestion of Spec
 ulative Debauch.
HAD A STRONG UNDERT0NE

New York, December 26.-The stock mar ket went through some viscissitudes to- day but it's most astonishing phase was the final recurrence of the undertone of strength which has come in to support the market so consistently of late and driven off all moods of depression. After opening with a sky-rocket advance in prices followed by drop very like the sky rocket stick, the market mended itself to- gether again, ignoring the continued pres sure of liquidation which continued in force and resumed it's irregular show of rents, and the struggling new points of strength being unaffected to the weakness at others The sharp reaction at mid-ses- sion was due more than anything else to the extremely doubtful character of some of the opening advances. The character of the stocks affected and the violence of jump in prices gave a suggestion of a speculative debauch, such as is the in- variable accompaniment of the culmina- tion of bull market. Professional trad CTS have been constantly on the lookout for these signs of such continuation and they sold the market eagerly on the open ing rise. These offerings were supplement- ed by the very heavy profit taking of in- terests long of the market. At this per-
 
 ance of general weakness prices crumb- ling throughout the list.
 The surprising opening gain in a num- Der of industrial specialties and a few railroad stocks were generally wiped out and some of the important railroad stocks stock had fallen small fractions to a point below Saturdays close
 The railroad bonds market was active and showed only few weak spots Total sales, par value, 4,410,000. All United States government bonds advanced 1a per cent on the last call.

Fairchild & Hobson's Cotton Letter, by Pri-
 vate Wire, to II. D. Cothran & Co If.
 New Orleans, Dec. 26-New York and this market opened with slight improvement ot to points above Saturday, closing with a rather firm tone, occasioned by small off,, ferngs when somewhat later, under the in, fluence of moderate liquidation 1t developed that buyers were rather more scarce than sellers, a decline was reached, with little or no pressure from the bear contingent. It was dull holiday market, charac terized by small trading from start to finish. When the semi-weeky movement was posted8 it had a weakening effect and contracts sold at the lowest for the day, March delivery touching 9.22. For the half week MT. He's, ter's figures read: Receipts, 3.112; ship ments, 79,426; receipts last year, 49, ,190; ship ments, 5l, ,S90. For 1898: Receipts, 12O 795: shipments, 110,53S This statement is un- dcubtedly "a large relative movement, and unless it soon drops to more moderate pro- portions will give confidence to large crop estimators and the bear contingent. How ever the movement up to January is not excessive, even on the basis of a nine and three-quarter million crop. As each year has its own distinctive record, 1t is not pru- dent to deduoe any positive result based on past experience on the crop movement up to January. Undoubtedly January and Feb ruary receipts will be watched with ex- ceeding interest and as the movement is large or small we expect to witness excep- tional influences either way. With a crop of less than ten millions We believe cotton will ultimately do better, whatever may be the near course of the market. With con-

The sentiment was bearish from the opening to the close of business. The market was finally quiet, with prices 15 to 20 points lower.

COTTON CONFINED ? TO SMALL DEALINGS Most Meagre Speculation Re- corded for Many Days Past PRICES FLUCTUATED SOME There Was Nothing in the Way of EN- citement - Shorts Were Made
 Nervous by Fears of Squeeze
 in January or March.
PRICES FLUCTUATED SOME

New York, December 26.-It has been many days since cotton speculation has been confined to the meagre dealings re- corded on change during today Fluctua- tions were hardly in harmony with the apathy, reaching a matter of 14 points On the first call the feeling was steady, but few trades were made in the absence of news from he English market which was stil! closed. Prices were unchanged to points higher on first sales and for the rest of the afternoon varied few points Room elements were seriously handicapped by scarcity of orders from the public and foreign contingent and by insufficient in- formation from the crop belt.
 The afternoon session was somewhat more interesting in the way of changes of values. Soon after the noon hour an esti- mate for large receipts at New Orlenas tomorrow led to nervous light selling, which at at time when buyers were few and far between. Prices suffered accord ingly and broke some to 14 points from the best level of the morning There was nothing in the way of excitement. Soon afterward the pit presented an animated spectacle and for the rest of the day bust ness dragged wearily, while fluctuations were confined to q point or so. Shorts were made ner 5ous by fears of a Squeeze" in January and March, and by reports that desirable grades of spot. cot ton in the south were scarce and held at a slight premium. The market closed bare ly steady with prices net unchanged to Il points lower.
