QUICK BUY HELPED
NEW YORK'S MARKET
Large Orders Made Manifest
Their Effect on Change.

NEW YORK. April 3O.-It was general
comment on the floor OF the exchange
that the market was full OF direct buy
ing and supporting orders.
The most significant feature was the
placing of large buying orders all around
by HoOley, Leonard * Co. supposed 10
be for very strong interests. This buy
ing helped turn the market after some
sharp early declines and was followed
by the appearance of large buying or
ders all around the room. So far there
has been no urgent liquidation and the
buying from the various sources has
been more than enough TO absorb all
stocks offered. but some brokers have
an idea thaC stocks will come ont on
rallies again as they did on every day
last week.
Since the first hour fractional rallies
occurred.
Government bonds unchanged; others
steady.

higher. but considerably under London

Who suggested homecoming week7
| As the reunion Of all Kentuckians
draws nearer and the magnitude Of the
undertaking becomes more and more
apparent, this question constantly re-
ours, and the answer is-Miss Louise
Lee Hardin, says the Louisville Cou-
rter-Journal. ...~-t
Miss Hardin Is one Of Kentucky's
daughters whose brains and energy
have made her one Of the most promi
nent club women In the United States.
She is ut the head Of several women's
orga nlzations is the editor Of a pro-
gresSive monthly magazine and Is vice
president Of the Kentucky Society Of
Denver, which Is now her home.
1t was during the early part Of July,
1D05, that Miss Hardin. then on q visit
to Louisville, called up II. e. Hughes.
secretary OF the Commercial club, and
suggested homecoming week. 1t was
her first visit to Kentucky for a long
time, and SO overJoyed was she to be
back to her old Kentucky home, SO
pleasant did she find the renewal Of
AIS ASS'oSiuIoAa, IHot eho COuio uot IT,
sist the desire to do something to bring
the other Kentuckians back for few
days Mt least.
When she called up the Commercial
club Miss Hardin explained her rea-
sons for calling Mr.. Hughes and asked
If tho Commercial club would not un
dertake to arrange meet Of distin
guished Kentnckians who had won
fame and fortune outside Of Its bon
ders. Mr.. Hughes suggested that the
invitation be more general and, being
much Impressed with the idea, request
ed Miss Hardin to write letter which
could be rend 10 the directors Of the
club setting forth her plans In order
that IT might bo formally acted upon by
tho club
