Absolutely no restrictions are
put upon the kind of work a
school may send: the main point
is to send something. You will
notice that rule two limits the
amount of work a school may
send. to that necessary, to show
the educational principle employ
ed. This is a necessary restric-
ton, until such time as the schools
of Wyoming NAV have a separate
building at the state fair.
Steps should be taken at once
to organize your exhibits. The
time is none too long. Next fall
send your exhibit to Douglas sew
eral days before the fair opens,
SO that your county superintend-

work in charge, may have ample
time to arrange it.
Each member of the committee
stands ready TO do all in his pow
er to assist teachers in preparing
their exhibits. Feel free to write
to them, asking questions or Civ
ing suggestions.
Supt. j. n. Peck of Douglas is
now at work securing space for
the exhibit. He will be glad to
hear from teachers relative to
that part of the exhibit. An ear
ly interest manifested on the par.
of the teachers will greatly help
him in this work.
Let all teachers and school Off
GERS in Wyoming join in this en-
terprise; and then we will prepare
an exhibit worthy of our great
state.
At a meeting of the committee,
held at Douglas, Oct. ), 1905, the
following rules were adopted gov

3. The work of each county
shall be in charge of the county
superintendent and city superin-
tendent and principals of that
county.
A. Each county shall be res
ponsible for the placing of its own
exhibit.

UNIVERSITY ITEMS

President Tisdel has sent to ev-
cry teacher in the state a letter
urging attendance at the summer
school, and asking them to state
what courses they would like to
take. Before publishing the pro-
gram of studies he wishes to learn
what studies are desired, so that
plans may be made for courses
which will accommodate the larg.
est possible number of those who
wish to attend. 1t is probable
that, in addition to reviews of the
common branches, a considerable
number of courses, both elemen-
tary and advanced, will be offered,
for which credit will be given to-
ward n degree. The term will
open June % and continue six
weeks.

SURPLUS RESERVES LESS

New York, February 10-Today's dull stock market was of the same character as those throughout the week. Hesitating Speculative sentiment and disincllnation to make large commitments were the marked features. The excited advances of yesterday In the Hill railroad group gave place to some reaction today. and prices fell back from the lack of the stimulating influence of the strength in those stocks.
 Some depression was reflected from the London market owing to a revival of ap- prehenson over the outcome of the Mo roccan conference. The narrow profes- sionaI character of the market was demonstrated by the demand to cover shorts after the appearance of the poor bank statement, which disclosed the origin of the early selling of bear cliques. De- velopments in the banking situation indi- cate substantial ground for the conserva- tism reflected in the stock market. The decrease in the surplus reserves of the banks by about one-half to less than s6,- 100000 is itself a showing of the narrow margin for expansion of banking credits for which the demand continues as shown by last weeks increase in the loan item or $4,bS5, l0V, Ine decrease III caSn or @o- 297,000 reflected not only the known move ment of currency for the week but the carry-over from the statement of the week before which failed to show the full decrease. Arrangements have been made already for the shipment of S ,250.- 0O0 gold to South America next Wednes- day. A deposit of $2,00o,000 at the sub- treasury today for transfer to San Fran cisco will also figure In the bank state- ment.
 The result Of the proposed O0,O0O,OOC bond issue by the Southern Railway com pany and of the purchase by bankers of Ia large block of American telephone bonds are significant of a teehnicality which has become marked feature of the financial situation. The explanation of the enter prise has resulted in an enormous increase in the needs of capital and the high level of prices of securities offers attractive op-

The firmness Of the money market In London continues, and the recent advancing tendency or sterling exchange at Paris underwent reaction today Reports that shipments or gold to Europe next week were m con. temptation gained currency today, but were not confirmed. The stock market closed irregular.
 Total sales of bonds, par value, a,- 10000.
 The movement of prices this week has shown the effect of the retirement from the market of large speculative commit ments in the shrinkage of the volume Of transactions and the narrowing and hesi- tating fluctuations. The speculative spirit has been quiet and awaiting new developments to direct new operations. AS is usual when the movements become sluggish a certain proportion of impatient holders become discouraged from time to time and throw over their own holdings. The action of the market has had little to explain it in current events but the establishment of a reactionary tendency in prices has the inevitable effect of bringing into prominence elements or doubt or anxiety in the outlook that would be ignored in a period of stagnant prices.
 A decided effect was produced by the reviews of the iron trade by the recog- nized authorities published this week. The markets in that trade are pronounced quiet and in some spots easier The tact that the tonnage of new orders placed has grown less, is attributed to the fact that buyers are well covered far into the year, and because sellers have contract
 
 has yielded. Present consumption con tinlies on an enormous scale and the un- precedented prosperity of the trade IS pronounced to be unimpaired. But the fact that buyers have paused in ther anticipation of future needs IS interpreted as a lack of entire conviction or what their futre needs will be, such as car ried along the demand both Tor present and future needs for a long time past. The threat of a great strike of coal min CTS is an element of special importance in estimating the future of the iron and steel trade and the outcome IS awaited anxiously The pause in the demand TOT iron is of added effect owing 10 the pas sive conditions reported in the copper market and in that for some of the other metals.
 The money market outlook mas some influence on the stock market although no immaculate pIeSSule 10 ., ~r, me replenishment of cash for the New York banks is impaired by the large ap- eor,,tion by the sub-treasury. This IS largely on account of the payment or the revenue due at interior points TOT "nIch drafts remain on New York deposits. The effect is the same as though the funds were withdrawn from New York to the interior.
 Some of the speculative bonds have been active but investment issues nave been quiet.
 United States bonds were all unchahseo on call on the week.
