STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Haste Shown to Reap Profits Afforded
by Over Sunday Demand.

New York, March 9-The conser-
vative views held by professional oper-
ators in stocks over the improvement
in conditions underlying values of se-
curities was indicated by their action
to-day following the sharp advance
which occurred in prices on Saturday.
There was evident haste to reap such
profits as were afforded by the over
Sunday demand for stocks attracted by
Saturdays advance and to secure the
reward of the efforts which had been
put forth to achieve that advance.
The trading started off at an appar-
emily fast pace, transactions during
the first hour footing up a quarter of
a million shares. A glance at the
total for the day shows how far from
maintaining that pace was the trading
for the remaining four hours of the
stock exchange session, The second
hours business had dropped to be-
low ninety thousand shares and found
prices dragging again about Satur-
days closing level. With the outside
demand thus fed and professional
holdings correspondingly lightened,
there was some resumption after
wards of operations for the advance.
The demand was not large, but the
floating supply of stocks was found to
without encountering formidable OBJ
stacles. The renewal of these opera
lions on the long side after the test
ing and digestive process of the first
hour was held to indicate satisfaction
with the absorption power Of the
market on the part of the speculative
party which has operated for a rise.
There was no striking new develop
ment on the news. Slight improve
ments reported by railroad traffic of
fclals in the movements over their
lines were mentioned without enthu-
siasm Earnings report made a fur

ed a wide rebound in London and the
price of that metal here was more
firmly held. The plans amongst New
England cotton mills for curtailment
Of output to conform to lessened de-
mand was one Of the modifying fac
tors in the days news. International
bankers report that the easing course
of foreign money markets is throwing
some inquiries for investment into this
market. The foreign exchange
market to-day was suggestively weak.
The secondary rise in prices was
firmly held to the end.

Actual Number of Stockholders Estf-
mated as $4,000.

New York, March S.-The United
States Steel corporation now has
nearly 5000 shareholders. the largest
number in the history of the corpora
lion, and the increase during the past
nine months has been greater than in
any like period.
This has resulted largely from the
heavy decline sustained by these
stocks in the recent panic, when many
small investors went into Wall street
and bought one. two and three shares.
The names of the 5000 are carried
on the books OF the company, but If Is
believed that the actual number OF
shareholders will reach $4,000, as
many banking and brokerage houses
carry large amounts of United States
steel securities under one name for
various persons.

BEEDE ANSWERS MILLER.
Has Not Had Money Enough for a
Long Time to Buy Supplies.

In regard to the criticism made by
Alderman J. Edmund Miller that the
children in the public schools were
compelled TO buy supplies, which works
hardship upon parents, particularly
at this time Of business depression,
and that the board of education should
furnish the supplies instead. the fol-
lowing statement was made yesterday
by Superintendent of Schools f. II.
Beede:
The board of education has for a
long time been embarrassed by lack of
sufficient funds for text books and sup
plies, In It's estimate submitted to the
board of finance last fall, the board of
education submitted two estimates for
books and supplies. The first amounted
to s27,382 of which 1884 was for the
high school, and the second was s35,371,
OF which s6,5S5 was for the high school.
These amounts were carefully comput-
ed on the basis of a certain amount
per pupil for books and supplies. In
submitting THESE estimates the Dbdlu
distinctly stated in it's communication
to the board of finance that under this
first estimate the children would be
required to furnish their own pads, pen
ellis, erasers, etc, but that the second
estimate included all supplies contem-
plated In the vote of the town estab-
fishing free text books and supplies to
the children. The amount appropriated
by the board of finance for the year
1908 was considerably less than either
Of these estimates, viz, $4,000, of
which $1,000 was specified for book
covers. It should also be added that
of this appropriation 1866 goes to the
Westville school district
With this amount the board Of edu-
cation certainly cannot furnish full
supplies TO the school children. When
ever the board of finance makes an
adequate appropriation, the board OF
education will. of course, be glad to
furnish all supplies used in the schools
by the school children.
