STOCK MARKET
CLOSES IRREGULAR
Demonstration of Strength Shown q,

comes Liberal, Causing Reaction.

NEW YORK. May S-The stock
market opened with moro active trad
ing than has been in evidence at any
time during this movement many fve
thousand share market orders being
In the flood AT the commencement OF
business and the transactions for the
first fifteen minutes were unusually
large in volume AZ steady sdvances IN
prices. putting a number 90 stocks up
TO the highest range reached In sev-
eral years.
IL q. m.-The market continued ac-
tive all through the first hour. but the
higher prices reached In the first few
minutes induced considerable
amount Of realizing and as trading
progressed the supply became more
liberal. causing q moderate reaction.
In some cases early gains were lost
and In q few instances some fractional
net losses were recorded.
Governments unchanged: other
bonds strong.
The market closed irregular.
In general. today's stock market re

rise was apparently exhausted and a
number of stocks went TO distinctly
higher prices. The stocks which have
advanced. however, were those which
have not been conspicously active In
the recent demonstration. such as ST
Paul and New York Central. The
leaders In the past months advance
Reading and Union Pacific especially
hung back despite great activity. IN
dicating continued realizing sales,
Steel common. however. was put ur
still higher. its price today coming
within half a point OF the high notch
in the frenzied speculation OF last
November.
Whatever the attitude of the stock
exchange. IL is impossible for expert
enced students OF the general situa
ton to ignore the fact that from nov
on the agricultural season will play
an essential part In the movement ol
events. A general principle. the fact
| that We are one OF the worlds great
grain producers and grain exporters
makes high agricultural prices play
into our hands as they do into the
hands OF no other commercial state
except possibly Argentina or Aus

PRODUCE

Commission men reported rather
quiet trade even for Saturday. The
nearest approach to a feature was the
weakness In poultry and calves The
former has been held up TO a high level
of prices by a combination OF long con-
tinued light receipts. and demand
that was little more than equal 20
the supply. This has now largely dts
appeared. and receipts. light as they
are. have to be forced out. The trade
seems TO have had surfeit OF veal for
the present also. and dressed calves
have become n good deal OF drug on
the market. Cabbage Is plentiful and
easy. Potatoes are steady. and there
Is a growing demand for fresh vege-
tables generally.

This was necessary because Miss Haynie is a niece of Y. $ Haynie who is a member of the board. The law emphatically states that no teacher related to member of the board can take such position without securing the consent of two-thirds of the school patrons in the district.
