the previous day and the situation at
the close was most hopeful. Transac-

The better tone OF the market Is prob

the interest rate on money at the banks

COMMENT ON MARKET.

r. W. Crew, of Henry CIews & Co
1.-THE short interest is still 20 DE reckoned
with In controlling the immediate future
Of the market Although many contracts
have been covered this week. the demand
for stocks in the loan crowd is still brisk
Improvement in the underlying condi-
tious. such as crops and money. has not
only revived confidence Of the holders Of
stocks. but has awakened outside inter
est 20 some extent The result Is that
stocks are offered more sparingly The
advance OF points In the New York City
bonds has created a better feeling in
financial circles, and there Is already a
noticeable increase IN the inquiry for 9TH
er good bond issues. With the short inter
est eliminated # viii then be a question
Of inside support. If the rally is 10 con-
tinue uniHterruptedIy."
Benjamin Woodruff, Of Post & FIagg-
The market, though somewhat reaction
ary az times. maintained strong under
tone. The room traders took a bearish
view Of the situation for two reasons.
The extensive advance In the past few
weeks. and the rumOrs OF a cold wave In
the West, which has considerable effect
on the grain market. The closing was
strong and at better prices than last
night The speculative class Of bonds is
strong. Although this improvement has
not yet extended 20 our conservative type
OF investments, hope is entertained that
as money eases of, we viii have a ma
terial clearing up Of the congestion in
this department, which has been the real
cause OF our difficulties"
C. Bowie Chipman, Of z. R. Chapman
& C0.-"With the exception of the first
hour and half, to-days market was un-
interesting. The first prices were higher,
and the impetus thus given carried the
leaders still further on the uptrack
Around midday the market was firm. but
quiet In the early afternoon 1t was
hesitating. with a slight reationary tend
ency. Around 2-30 a rally set in, and the
last prices show many OF the list un-
changed, a few lower, and a great ma
jority slightly better than last nights
close. The market is 50 narrow that fore
cast IS difficult. Judging from the
strength displayed. prices may continue
on the uDJraCk during tO-mGrroW's ses-
sion and possibly part of Mondays. Nev-
ertheless. I think it best TO keep an eve
on protit-taking sales"

these steps are necessary, to accom-
plish his purpose; that of making San
Francisco a city that will not harbor
boodlers, grafters, bride givers, bride
takers or millionaire corrupters of
councils and city officials.
Already the argument is being ad-
vanced that Mr.. Spreckles' money is
tainted; that his fortune was made by
trust methods in sugar dealing; that
he is using the machinery of the state
and city to vent personal spites, and
that it is the business of the state and
city, not of the individual, to enforce
the law and punish its violators. Peo-
pie who want decent government will
not take such arguments very seriously.
While it is true that the public au-
thorities should prosecute offenders,
the fact remains that officials are too
often subject to the very influences
they are expected to prosecute. What
ever complaints may be made, the pub
lie will look upon Mr.. Spreckles' offer
as philanthropy of the broadcast kind,
the philanthropy that proposes to be-
stow the highest benefaction upon a
city by cleansing tot official leprosy.

REFoKMlNG THE MEND CARD.

An effort is being made to drive the
French language from it's last strong
hold. For a century or more French
was recognized as the language of di-
plomacy, being used exclusively by all
nations in treaties, protocols, pourpar-
lers and other indentures that figure
in correspondence and negotiations
between nations. When Admiral
Dewey performed the ceremony IN
Manila bay of introducing the United
States as a world power and giving
"shirt-sleeve" diplomacy an interna
tional significance, most Of the powers
discovered suddenly that their diplo-
matte representatives could speak and
write the English language or the
plain United States improvement of it.
English was used in the peace negotia-
tons at Portsmouth, which ended the
war between Russia and Japan and the
treaty of Algeciras, for the purpose of
protecting various interests in Nor
Deco. was written in English.
That was the first body blow at the
French language and preparations are
being made to land the second. London
hotel and restaurant keepers have now
started a movement which is being
taken up in New York and other cities
in the east to abolish French on menu
cards and substitute plain English. The
movement will have the hearty ap-
prevail of the public. While the aver
age man who takes an occasional meal
away from home fares better than the
Missourian, who picked out seven
items in French from the restaurant
menu card and got potatoes cooked in
seven different ways, he will appreciate
change which will give him an even
chance for his money, to the extent at
least of understanding what he is ask
ing for. Whatever the origin, no
reasonable excuse remains for requir-
ing a man to order poisson" when he
wants fish, any more than for expect
ing him TO wrench his tongue in at
tempting "huitres" when q plain oyster
stew will do. The American, from the
west at least, would find real satisfac-
ton in ordering beef and gravy-and
let the blood follow the knife" instead
Of wondering what was going TO come
along with "boeuf a la Anglaise, au
JUS" Why 'pommes de terre" rather
than "spuds" for the hungry diner who
wants more potatoes, and is not zone
in the dark" equal to cafe noir" for
coffee without cream?

FUTURE or THE STATE UNIVERSITY
The establishment of tuition fee to
be exacted from nonresident students
at the University of Nebraska is her
aided as a step marking a radical
change in the policy Of that institution.
While the amount of the tuition,
namely, $50, is a mere bagatelle inso-
far as reimbursing the state for money
expended in instructing a nonresident
student or offsetting the taxes paid by
the average Nebraskan who sends his
children there to be educated. It is
said to be the first bar ever put up to
restrict attendance and the first sign
that for the future "bigness" is to be
subordinated to "thoroughness" in
state university progress.
If this move really supports the in
depreciation put upon it, then the ac-
ton of the Board of Regents in raising
the nonresident tuition fee should be
hailed with satisfaction by all friends
of the university. The University Of
Nebraska has future greatness before
1t II It will but set limits to its field Of
operations and pursue a steadily
progressive policy toward a definite
goal That goal should be to provide
the best education possible for the
young men and women of Nebraska
with a view to fitting them for the du-
ties of enlightened citizenship.
1t is not necessary to make state
university, supported out of revenues
derived chiefly from taxation, a far
famed seat of research attracting stu
dents from all parts of the country,
but It is desirable, If not necessary,
that instruction should be specially
adapted to the character and qualifica-
tons of the students entitled to par
ticipate in its advantages. Certain
branches of learning are basic and
must be taught in all universities and
colleges, but a publicly supported uni
versity in an agricultural state like
Nebraska, where the students are for
the most part sons and daughters of
farmers and stock raisers, should lay
special stress on preparing the youth
to return back to the soil. Without
going backward in any other depart
ment, the University Of Nebraska
ought to develop its agricultural school
and push 1t to the forefront. 1t should
aim to make it the best--not the big
gest-center of scientific agriculture
in this section, and eventually in the
country.
Success along these lines will be
worth far more than any inflated list
Of university attendance designed to
make people believe that the per cap
tia cost of>student education has been
reduced to insignificance.
