NEW YORK, May 16-WhiIe the days
stock market again displayed uncertain
and Irregular price movements, It's under
lying tendencies were rather more plainly
toward higher figures, and most of the
days significant changes were in that direc-
tion The dealings were In somewhat re-
duced volume. in comparison with recent
totals, and there was marked coneentra-
ton Of speculative interest upon few
stocks.
These were notably Amalgamated Cop
per. Anaconda Mining, Sugar Refining
American Smelling. Brooklyn Rapid Transit;
and in the railway list, Reading Union
Pacific and Pennsylvania. The Copper
stocks were decidedly strong. and definite
explanation OF their course was furnished
by the highly satisfactory annual statements
made public today by the Anaconda Mining
Company. Sugar refining showed great
deal more animation than has been dis
played by that stock in long time. but the
gossip In connection with the dealings
there was somewhat Indefinite.
some observers professed to And an ex-

Of the American Sugar Refining Company.
the idea being that more cordial relations
between the two concerns might In conse-
quence be established. American Beet Sugar
sprung into some activity In connection with
the advance IN American Sugar.
30 far as the railway list was concerned
there was very little to be cited in connec-
ton with the dealings in that direction. Of
ferfngs were made today Of the new Penn
sylvania short time notes, which were dis
posed Of yesterday fractiouaily below the
Official sale figures. circumstance from
which the bearishiy disposed were prone to
draw their own differences.
The Days Trading.
Trading during the greater part OF the
day seemed to be almost wholly Of a pro-
fessional and manipuiative character. Lon
don's operations In the local market con-
tfnued upon an Insignificant scale The
rapid and uncertain fluctuations in prices
had the natural effect Of curtailing the
business Of commission houses aside from
those possessing highly speculative Glen
tele Money market circumstances showed
little alteration. although in the early
part of the day one Of the transient re-
actions of the time was attributed to the
large loss In cash which was reported In
the figures Of the dealings between the sub
treasury and the banks
The latter's unfayorable balance was, of
course caused by their return to the sub
treasury Of some 100000 gold against
their own receipts Of the metal from Eu
rope. There were long periods during the
day when the trading came virtually to
standstfu
Sentiment with regard to the immediate
course of prices seemed to be unusually
varying. and there was little nothing In
the news over night or the days develop
shape opinion strongly in one direction or
another.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The filing Of couple Of small orders
for the stocl-of the Washington Loan and
Trust Company today at the meeting of the
stock exchange served to advance the bid
price Of the stock as compared with the
figures of yesterday about q point and the
asking price nearly two points.
The slight demand that seemed to exist
resulted In rousing the interest OF one or
two brokers. who also developed a desire.
for the stock At the close 20 was freely
bid and the asking price was point IN
advance.
In the absence of orders good many Of
the brokers are watching for something 70
turn up, and In the opinion OF some there
Is likely to be an upward movement In Gas
stock. There II no particular reason given
for sich q belief or for such movement
except the very general one that as Con-
gress is not likely to do anything to the
company this year and as 1t Is asserted ct
this period In the year an advance In the
market price of the stock Is not unusual,
1t Is held that such thing Is now on the
cards.
There are those who look with some doubt
on these tips Of activity in gas, and as there
has been no open evidence on the exchange
OF desire to gather in what stock Is axau-
able at current prices the tip does not seem
to have much credence. However, a. Is

GOV. ROBERTS AT HYPERION.
Highly Compliments Grays' Actors on
Zine Work in "The Mncking Bird p

Highly Compliments Grays' Actors on
Fine Work in The Mocking Bird"
The first performance of "The Mock
ing Bird" by the New haven Grays was
characterized as good, but last nights
performance was even better The Hy-
perion was crowded and the repeated
encores showed how thoroughly the
large audience appreciated the play.
One nights presentation seemed to
have improved the parts noticeably,
and some persons in the audience, who
had seen the play presented by profess
SIGNALS several years ago, were heard
to remark that the work of the Grays
last night was better than that of the
professionals. Certain 1T is that all the
participants are worthylof the highest
praise for the grace and ease with
which they carried out their parts.
Governor Henry Roberts and his staff,
consisting of Adjutant- General Cole,
General Smith, General Downer, Major
Beardsley, Major Hall, Major Goodwin,
Major Bunce, Major Macdonald Colo
mel Geddes and Captain Welles, Occur
pied one of the lower boxes. A second
box contained Captain Dwyer, Sergeant
Leider, Sergeant Mather and party.
The governor expressed himself as
highly pleased with the way in which
the play was presented.
At the close of the second act the
governor held an informal reception for
the actors behind the scenes. He espe-
cially complimented Miss Pearl Young
for her beautiful SINGING. He also
praised highly the work of Misses Re
beeca Harris and Ester Barton, and
Misses Enrich and Benoit. Then he
shook hands with Frederick Adams, f.
S. Hamilton, jr., DR.. George "A. Lawton,
Stephen Crabb, Joseph Southerton and
John l.. ellison. The governor told Mr..
Adams that his work was remarkably
fine, and to Mr.. southerton he remark
ed that he enjoyed his topical songs inn
mensely, A little gag by Stephen Crabh
on governors occurred in the play, and
delighted the governor especially, and
he remarked to Mr. Crabb that it was
very jolly and all right.
The last performance will be given
tonight and will undoubtedly draw a
large audience.
The top gallery was open last night
at twenty-five cents seat and was
well filled. The gallery seats will be
twenty-five cents tonight also.

est Young Man From the Capitol

Rosebuds Harpoon the Wha1ers.
Wilson, that's all" These three
words tell the biggest part of the story
of New Havens defeat by Hartford at
the savin Rock grounds yesterday aft
ernoon. Wilson is an adjunct of the zig
zig staff of the Capital City nine. He
is very unassuming young man, and,
as usual with such an individual, there
is more in him than appears. The
Blues became well aware Of this as the
game progressed, for they found it more
and more difficult to collide with his
curves. Wilson is certainly good stuff,
and Mr.. Stacks men had to take it
straight yesterday.
The game was interesting from start
to finish. The local men started off in
the lead but were overcome in the
fourth, when Sussman and Robertson
followed each other in falling in at
tempting to throw the ball, two men
crossing the plate before the close Of
the inning. In the fifth Hartford scored
again through an erratic throw to sec
ond by JOpe. In the seventh and ninth
innings Hayward's ponies had chances
to score, but failed In the ninth the
chance amounted to scare for the
visitors. With two men on bases and
two men out Robertson came to the
bat. He took two strikes and three
balls. and finally famed out.

ed.
At a regular meeting OF the board of
education held last night, Frank II.
Beede was reelected superintendent OF
schools for q period of FIVE years.
George T. Hewlett was also re-elect-
ed secretary and clerk for period OF
one year. Dennis ]. Maloney was also
reelected to the position of inspector Of
school buildings. The committee on
schools and school buildings We're au-
thorized to advertise for bids ana

school equipment during. the coming
year. The monthly financial statement
was also read and adopted.
superintendent Beede read special
report on the use of school buildings
for other than day school purposes.
The total valuation of the school
property buildings and sites) in New
Haven is about 100000. The interest
on this amount is $4,000 at 3 IL per
cent. This, of course, is the annual ex-
pense of the city for carrying its, school
buildings. This is $191 a day. The
amount is SO large that 1t seems rea-
sonahle to say that the city should get
from its school buildings all the use
that can prof1tably be derived from
them.
There has been a movement during
the past few years to open school build
ings for other than day school purposes.
In the large centers this has been done
quite extensively, and it is generally
agreed that much good has resulted
| School buildings are not injured extern
sively by these additional uses to which
they are put.
1t should be understood. as matter
of course, Increased use of these school
buildings would entail additional ex-
pense for heat, light and janitor SER

owing to the recent agitation over
this subject / suggest the following
uses to which school buildings can
properly be put without, 1t seems to me,
any serious objections:
1--Evening schools.

5-Public neighborhood or local lee

pieces of the board of education.

local improvements, on the plan Of the
Village Improvement association, such
as identifying door yards, cleaning UP
streets, establishing drinking foun-
tains, etc.
