WoodIaWn Schools Well Attended.

The Woodlawn schools opened with
large attendance this year. The en-
rollment for the first week was nearly
200 more than for the same time last
year, the number having reached 1O40.
The increased enrolment abundantly
justifies the additional rooms that have
been built during the summer. How
ever, the buildings will accommodate
quite q number of pupils yet and it is
desired that the pupils who are not
yet in school will not delay in finding
their proper places in the schools.

The market opened barely steady at a

Wabash-Pittsburg receivership especially
among the other Gould properties. The
Hill lstocks were the subject of continued
rumors of assumed benefits to accrue from
the new Burlington bond sale. Further
sales of bond issues to bankers and the
progress of subscriptions to issues offered
by bankers were a satisfactory index OF
the opportunities for securing new capital
for enterprise.

Market Scars High After the

ATMOSPHERE IS CLEARER
Passage of Currency Bill and Adjourn
nent of Congress Are Principal
Factors In Giving Buoyancy
to the Whole Market.

New Y ork June 1.-The strength of the
stock market today, both in its extent and
In its character proved a surprise to the
most hopeful observers. The upward
course of prices showed a momentum and
absence of hesitation that were of con-
vlncing effect on those that had been
doubtful of the range of prices prevailing.
The most conspicuous buying was by
brokerage houses, who were the heaviest
sellers in the break of last week, and
who are commonly supposed to represent
= the financial forces which were credited
with the previous operations for the rise.
The differences as to the personalities sup
posed to be thus indicated made up the
strongest sentimental influence in the
days operations. These operations con-
tinued to an overwhelming extent IN the
Hill and Hartman stocks, st. Paul ana
heading, and switched to slight extent
during the day to United States Steel and
Alnalgaametd Copper.
So far as any actual new developments
we're an influence in the market, the en-
aotment of the emergency currency meas
urc and the adjournment were the prinei-
pal factors. 1t is a speculative tradition
to bid up prices of stocks on the adjourn
ment of Congress, on the assumption that
legislative activities are calculated to en-
croach on corporation privileges and val
uations rather than the contrary. At the
present period speculative sentiment mas
been more than usually sensitive on this
subject, and was the more inclined to re-
lief over the cessation of activities by the
legislative body. SD

measures of relief for the money market

embarrassment. This feeling is reflected
In the June financial circular of the Ma
t1onal City bank, in which occurs this
comment: 1.-The new currency bill is like

the treasury toward the money markets.

ncte issues have been provided for, the

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York June 1.-(Specia1l-An opin-
ion gained ground in Liverpool based
on the private estimates of the crop con-
dition that the bureau report would be
bearsh and this caused a moderate de-
cline there before our opening.
No attention was paid to the probability
of further rains in Oklahoma and Ar
karsas as predicted by the government
the market being entirely under the be-
lief that the bureau report would be
a bearish enc on this theory the market
was heavy all day. There was a slow
investment demand on the decline based
on the revival in the spinning districts
where the mills are reopening or going
on full time every day.
We think the short interest was largely
increased today in anticipation of bear
ish report.
