would far exceed the record for 1903.
Bond quotations were in many cases changed
on account of the coupons coming off the first
Of January, though in some cases the prices
made up the price of the coupons. Ihe same

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-An attempt
was made to start the new year VIII
an advance in prices of stocks as
demonstration of cheerful confidence
in the opening prospect. Immediate
lv. however, the higher price encouh-
tered selling orders sufficient TO turn

The bank statement published after
the close of the stock market brluay
made clear the reason for the coh-
striction of supplies in todays money
market. The surplus reserve was de-
pleted to a slender remnant, Whlle the

The great private banking houses
most largely concerned with the hnan-
cial operations of the principal rail-
road and Industrial corporations OF the
country have given such evidence OF
abundant cash resources in the recent
past as to imply ample ability to re-
lieve a furry in the money market.
Absence of such relief today brought
an inference that higher rates for
their money is more desired by these
powerful sources than higher prices
for stocks.

BE POSTPONE

Little Rock, August 30.-In all
probability an order will be issued in
the next day or two postponing the
meeting of the Arkansas railroad COM
mission scheduled for September Z,
until one week later. This postpone
ment will be made necessary by the
absence of r. P. Allen, member of
the commission, who will at that time
be one of the Bryan tourists. There
are a number of matters to come be-
fore the commission in which a per-
sonal inspection has been made by
Commi ssioner Allen, so they will go
over until he can attend the meeting.
All towns interested will be notified

Committee May Change
Site of New Dormitory

President J. j. Doyne is expecting
the executive committee of the State
Normal board of trustees to come
here some time this week and decide
on the site for the new girls dormi-
tory to be erected on the campus. On
the original plans for the scheme of
buildings, this dormitory would be
thrown 400 feet west of the present
building, which would place it west
of the ridge running through the cen
ter of the grounds and into the best
of the land to be used for agricultural
purposes. President Doyne is in ia
vor of locating the new building only
about 200 feet to the rear of the pres
ent building. This, he states, is not
only better site, but would save side
walk, water and sewer pipe and would
be more convenient to the boarders in
the dormintory.
