A NOTABLE OCCASION.
PHI GAMM1 DEL1A'S NEW HALL
 4T TALE.

Dedicntory Exercises Held Saturday
 ning-Distinguished Men from All
 Exercises.
 Since the abolition of sophomore so- cieties at Yale, by action of the faculty last December, there has appeared evil dence that in more than one respect the society system is undergoing radical change. The old class distinctions and class lines are rapidly becoming oblit- erated, owing to the great increase of the elective system. University ideals are coming to the front in place of the old traditional academic spirit, and at least one secret society, which extends its membership over all departments of the university has signalized the advent of these changed conditions by estab- fishing itself permanently in a new, suitably constructed society hall. This fact lends significance to the announce ment which the presence of numerous visitorsi in the city on Saturday and Sun day led many observing people to sur mise, that the annual banquet of cer- tain Yale fraternity witnessed it's en- trance into new home, now nearing completion.
 The twenty-sixth annual reunion and banquet of Nu Deuteron chapter, Phi Gamma, Yale university, and third an- nual of section II, in which Amherst, Trinity and Yale are respectively rep resented, took place last Saturday even- ing at the societys new and elegant building, "The Tomb" at 416 and 41S Temple street, and was an occasion of extraordinary interest, it being the ded- ication of the societys new building. A description of this beautiful structure has already been given in this paper. and the accompanying cut will give an adequate idea of it's symmetrical pro- portions and artistic architectural de- esi<

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

r1a.1;,,s IN yesterdays stock market were
comparatively light. Prices however were
strong and higher. with substantial net gains IN
most issues at the close. Stock appears to be
closely held and from the course Of values IN the
last two days it may reasonably be assumed
that the heavy liquidation Of a week ago re-
suited in landing the greater part OF the 1oat-
ing supply OF securities in the hands OF people
Who do not intend to SELL save at better quo
tations than those now ruling The shghtest
demand Yesterday was followed by a substantial
gain in prices and while transactions were small
in comparison with recent heavy totals. a fair
commission house inquiry was noted. Buyers
however, were Of the investment class, the
ordinary public trader refusing TO take an in
terest in speculation. An enormous buying
movement could hardly be expected after the
severe crash OF May 8. but It is thought in
many well posted circles that activity in stocks
will be resumed before the fall There are no
black clouds ahead in either the business or
poIitical world, and unless some extraordinary
development should take place, tending TO un-
settle the stability Of the investment situation,
there ought 10 be a fair demand for stocks
throughout the summer. Wall Streets pfs-
nnisim is passing away. and bear traders are not
so confident as they at the close Of last
week.
Good. but quiet, buying was reported in all the
more active issues. The prospects Of a favor
able bank statement to-day contributed to higher
stock prices by checking short selling among
traders who had counted upon heavy loss in
cash holdings. Although large amounts of
money have been lost on gold shipments in the
week receipts of currency from the interior
have been large enough to offset the loss, while
adding several millions 10 actual cash holdings
Unless there has been big expansion in loans
