A new class is started each week

Twelve lessons are given in the lecture
room during the first three weeks and
in the fourth week there is a general
review of the preceding instruction.
The switchboard instruction begins
with local calls and then takes up
trunk lin and toll-board work. In each
branch there are many details to be
explained. All of the operators receive
the same instruction. and thus are able,
on graduation, to work together under

Demand for Operators I'm New Jersey.
The great growth of telephone busl-
ness in the Newark office alone has
called for a considerable increase In the

WANAQUE DAM TO
COST 100000
Engineer Sherrerd Explains Plan
to Works Commissioners
During Visit to Site.

The project of building a dam across
the Wanaque river to form a new
reservoir capable of holding H. 900, 000,-
900 gallons of water and giving a daily
yield of L, 1000, 900 gallons was explained
to the Board of Works commissioners
by City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
during the trip which he and the COM
m~issioners took over the ground yes
terday. The expense of such a reser-
voir. the engineer said, would be about
81, oO0, 900.
Mr.. Sherrerd's idea, as explained to
the commissioners, was that there
should be two basins with a connecting
neck. There would be about two miles
of surface and the depth would range
from twenty to sixty feet. He said
that such a reservoir would have an
elevation of 275 feet, and would be able
to take are of the lower sections of the
city. while the ~Pequannock reservoir,
with it's 4O0-foot elevation. would be
able to serve the higher sections.

Ever since apples got ripe this year

wormy apples that others left behind.

number Of apple trees. people

reflected. Il might as well remove
the trees and the temptation along
with them"

of the trees, woman hot footed
across the lot with basket on her
arm. She evidently was coming to
fill the basket, not knowing that any
body was around. When she saw that
the tree was being removed she broke
right forth and told the colonel a few
things about vandalism that was
enough to set man thinking.

Dull Trading Becomes Lively
 Before the Close
CASH DEMAND Is BETTER
General Selling In the Corn Market Takes the Edge Off Prices for the Day-oats Are Easy and
 Provisions Firm.

Chicago January 14-Liberal sales of cash grain had a strengthening effect on the wheat market here today, and at the close prices were 1saD%c above the final quotations of the previous session. Corn and oats closed easy and provisions firm.
 The wheat market was dull and narrow the better part of the day, but livened during the final half hour, as result of active support by bull leaders. This de- mand carried prices up 1ac to 1lsq1Ac from the low points of the day. the May delivery showing the greatest gain Pit traders generally were bearishly inclined, but were afraid to venture far from shore, and consequently only moderate demand by the bull leaders was sufficient to maintain prices during the first half of the session. Foreign news was somewhat bearish, the European markets showing little response to the upturn here yester- day. Advices from India also told of light rains, which had partially relieved anxiety regarding the crops In the united prov inces The strength late in the day was based to some extent on a considerable improvement in the local demand for cash wheat, gales today being reported at S0,0O0 bushels. Kansas City at the same time told of sales aggregating 150,O00 bushels, all of which, it was said, was for ship ment to Mexico. The market closed strong at almost the top, final quotations on May being at $1 .06ss and July e7%c.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 92,0oO bushels.
 Primary receipts were 421,000 bushels
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of PAP cars.
 Free sales by some of the principal hold CTS caused weakness in the corn market, sentiment in the pit being bearish the en- tire day. A slight recovery was made late in the day, owing to sales of 150,0O0 bushels of cash corn to a Baltimore ex- porter. The market closed with prices off Ac to hQAc. Final quotations on May were 619sc; July. elssQ61Ac. Local re- ceipts were 15s cars, with six of contract grade.
 Poor demand for the cash grain caused moderate weakness in the oats market, but the volume of trade was small. The price of the cash grain was off Mc to 1ac. Shorts and shippers were the chief buy CTS, and selling was mainly by commits sion houses. At the close prices were un- changed to 1a@Ac lower. with May at 511sQ51xc and July at 461sQ46kc. Local receipts were 79 cars.
 Provisions were firm throughout the en- tire day on buying by grain traders and a local packer. Hog receipts were smaller than for the corresponding day year ago. At the close prices were unchanged to 171kc higher.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 10 cars, corn 225 cars, oats 168 cars, hogs 27,00o head.

STOCK MARKET
 TURNS DOWNWARD Price Movement For the Lay Is Mixed and Uncertain MANY RUMORS ARE AFLOAT Railroad Shares Are Adversely Af- fected and Industrials Drop to
 Lower Range With Some Re-
 covery Near the Close.
MANY RUMORS ARE AFLOAI

New York, January 14-The mixed and uncertain movement in todays stock mar ket was much the same as for several days past, but the marked subsistence of activity was a distinguishing feature. The number of disciplinary measures adopted by the board of governors lately, to which was added an expulsion today, operates to curtail some kind of activity in the market, but it is doubted whether oper- ations of the kidn aimed at make up a large proportion of the dealings from day to day The moral effect of these meas- nres. however, is to discourage manipula- tive and fictitious transactions which are with a view solely to affect prices. The current dullness in the speculation finds its truer explanation in the doubt felt over the industrial and business outlook and in the height to which previous speculation had pushed prices The pro- portion of demonstrated truth in the nu- merous rumors which have helped to raise prices remains up to the present small, and conjecture over the reliability of much of this report grows anxious with the spectacle of prices halting or receding.
 New York Central was affected by the currency given to a story that E. H. liar riman had obtained possession of the holdings of w. K. Vanderbilt and was to assume the chairmanship of the board Of directors.
 The report received no countenance rom the interests immediately concerned. The advance in the Bank of England discount rate of per cent, which was the principal event of the financial day, was of small immediate effect in New York.
 The action had been generally expected and had no unfs 9orable effect on foreign stock markets.
 Private discount rates rose in London and Paris. The strong return made by the Bank of England, coincident with this advance in the official discount rate, was a notice of a pursuit of policy of strengthening their position for future contingencies rather than to meet pres- ent demands. The heavy repayments to the bank, amounting to over 20,00o0 GOO, were supplemented by decrease of $l1,- z45,OO0 in the holdings of government se- curities in the effort toward the reduc- ton of supplies in the open market.
