MARKET CLOSED STEADY.

New York, June 13-First prices on
the stock market today were slightly
below yesterdays close. Most of the
active issues were off small fractions.
About the only explanation for the de-
cline was the London market, where
the trading was at lower levels.
Later the market became firmer on
week end covering by shorts and most
of the losses were made up, There was
no perceptible tendency in either
direction for the most of the short ses-
sion.
Mercantile agencies reported a better
demand in various lines, and weather
continued favorable for crops. Sterling
exchange was weak on the announce
ment that 100000 more gold had been
engaged for export.
Bonds were steady.
The market closed steady.

tells Of certain school in his state
where 40 pupils were enrolled. An
40 pupils attended school the six months

months of school, " Now, it cost lust
as much, argues Mr.. Timberman, "to
operate this school the last three
months with the reduced attendance as
II did when the entire 40 attended.
There is a loss of % per cent of the en-
tire expense of the school The teach

is 1870 per month loss Multiply this
