Joseph Jasin presided.
Miss Laser, who was in the Of
flee of the Bureau of Municipal Re-
searches in New York for several
years, reviewed the successes of
other cities in this country in adopt
ing the ideas of experts, who special
ize individually on work affecting the
various departments of city govern
ments. She told, Of how New York
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Milwaukee;
and other cities had done away with
wtste in city departments and how
some of them had completely elimi-
mated graft; how the budget sytem
was used effectively and at great
savings to municipalities and in what
manner auditing and the expendi-
ture of money had been Of great
saving to the taxpayers as well as
the city government. Her address
showed that she was thoroughly
familiar with every phase of city, gov
eminent and she dealt most impress
sively upon the value of good santa
ton and an economical but unset
fish expenditure of public moneys.

However. Richmond college came

CHINESE LOAN SURPRISE

NEW YORK, May 21.--All the i'm
plIcations of the New York city bond
sale on Tuesday are not unfavoraoie'
but Wall Street seemed today TO re-
gard IL as more or less depressing
There was active trading on the STOCK
exchange In the new bonds and the
price was broken below par on smail
transactions. The bulk of the deal
iurs took place at par. which rep
resented loss to any actual buyers
Of the issue, either IN the anucipatory
trading in the weeks before the sale,
or at the sale itself.
The attention Of the stock market
community was very largely engaged
BY the aspects of the city bond sit
uAtion, and the share list was rather
heavy in consequence of the detected
deductions which were freely drawn in
the financial district,
Decline Is Small.
At the same time business in stocks
was of very meagre proportions ana
DESPITE some weakness which carried
a few specialties TO new low prices
the average decline in quoted values
was only fractional. Indeed, although
IL is hard nowadays to find anybody
in Wall Street circles who processes
10 see anything encouraging in day TO
day developments, the opinion was
yentured in some quarters tonight that
the stock market had exhibited sat
tsfacto degree of underlying firm
ness considering the adverse contri-
buttons to sentiment made by the pre-
vailing views of the city bond sale.
Financial interest abroad today was
occupied chiefly with the new Chinese
loan offered at the leading European
certers A very heavy oversubscrip-
ton was reported and that foreign
capital has not been exhausted Is
clear from the Willingness TO take ar
investment chance with Chinese
bonds, even though the subscription
price may seem 10 be compensation
Tor the risk.
An UnsettIing Element.
The weakness of the ST Louis and
San Francisco bonds was an unset
Ting element in the Wall Street ses
sion, for 1t kept alive doubt as Il
whether or not provision was beinf
made for the company's financia
needs There was nothing particular
Nv influential in the decline Of the Pc
troieum stock, and American Cottor
OIL, and in the main standard shares
offered resistance to pressure, which
seemed to come chiefly from trading
experiments OF bearish nature.
Little or no news came out relating
to particular stocks, but the weekly
reports Of the iron and steel trade
noted further weakening in iror
prices. and only very light forward
business in steel lines. There was
much talk about the japanese situa'
ton. but such apprehension ~ was
expressed was very obviously of {
manufactured character.
