SOCIETY EVENTS
OF The WEEK
BESSIE BAILEY COOK. Editress.

The week in retrospect is gay t a
degree that summer society in other
cities would brand as phenomenal. OF
course it Is never hot enough to inter
fere with functions here, even in Au-
gust, and events are planned at pleas,
ure, regardless of the terrors of Old
Sol in less favored localities. With ev-
cry year Laramie is steadily coming 70
its own as a summer resort, and the
hotels are especially crowded just now
with transient guests, some sojourning
here and others en- route to the heart
of the mountains for rest and pleas
ure. The summer theater is growing
in popularity, as the number of theater
parties proves. The program this week
was very good indeed, and the solos
contributed by Mrs. Trumbull were
also highly appreciated. Next week
Miss Show will present a varied bill.

children of the Catholic church were
the guests of the Altar society and yes,

enjoyed a gay time on the smooth
lawns at the park. The older children
of this church will go to the country
for a picnic in about a week. The
children of the Presbyterian Sunday
school are planning a trip to Centen-
NAL and the Episcopals will also visit
that popular locality, probably going
the 9th. The Baptists have selected
Hutton's grove for their annual outing
and the 9th is their date also. While
much of interest has occurred, the
chronicles are made as brief as possible

day. Weather conditions over the afflicted

the market was weak, as evidenced
by the decline which took place as soon as
the commission house demand slackened.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The only stock on the list that drew to 1t
and trading at all at the meeting today of
the stock exchange was gas stock. AS usual
there was fair market for bonds, and in
the case of the Washington Railway and
Electric Companys bonds the advance fg-
ures of yesterday were repeated again to-
day without result.
These per cent bonds are selling ex in
terest about two points above the asking
price of the . per cent preferred stock Of
the company, which illustrates pretty well
the tone of the market. In the case of the
Capital Traction is there is an upward
tendency observed, which was expressed by
one of the able financiers of the city. who
remarked today when 1914 was asked in
connection with the trading in these bonds
that they would new: be any lower.
1t is supposed the market will also be
influenced as soon as it is known with any
detinIteness about the control of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company
When the voting trust expires. The opinion
is heard now more frequently that there is
not going 10 be change in the control. but
1t is claimed the main result that will be
reached by positive knowledge in tbs par
tcular is the removal of the uncertainty
in regard to the future.
"The gas man." as one of the principal
recent buyers of gas stock was nicknamed
by broker at the meeting yesterday. was
on hand today, and became buyer of his
favorite at GAS and G4A. He then became
a free seller on the same level and down to
81. One of the brokers, who up to this
time has been more of seller than buyer.
today did the main buying, and acquired
something like 400 shares out Of an aggre-
gate of $50.
Some attention was aroused by this buy
ing because the broker is supposed to have
Affiliations which are rather direct with
what are looked upon the inside inter-
est In the gas company. At any rate there
Is not as yet any settled opinion about
what, If anything, is going to be done by
the gas company, and as far can be
Judged the general public are not interested
very much in the question either one way
or the other.

NEW YORK. May 29.-To invert one OF
Wall streets stock phrases. there was de-
Ciicd Improvement in prices in today $
stock market. and the movement was at
the expense of activity. No very definite
causes could be assigned for the course of
the market. For some reason the whole
financial community appeared to have
reached the conclusion that in his Memorial
day address tomorrow the President Will
give expression to utteranCes designed and
calculated to lead to a restoration of con1-
deuCt in the values of securities. and prob
ably this idea might be cited as the most
effective factor in the strong tone Of the
market during the greater part OF the day.
Speculative sentiment was stimulated to
some extent also by the rather unlooked-f for
strength of the London stock market. par
tiCularly as American securities participated
TO a noteworthy extent in the general bet
termcnj there. There was no definite ex-
PLANTATION in the Cabed advices from Lon
don of the tone of the market at that point
except that the fortnightly settlement upon
the stock exchange progressed without the
fnsolvencies which seemed to have been
commonly expected.
