New York, September S.-The local
market for raw sugar was less active to-
day, but the undertone was firm, and
while there were further sales at last
quotations offerings were not being
pressed and holders generally were ask
ing slight advances There were sales of
1900 bags of Cubas to a local refiner at
4sc cost and freight. The market closed
firm at 41sc for Cubas cost and freight,
equal to 5.14c for centrifugal and 437c
for molasses.
In refined there was a good business
reported, the country buying in more
normal manner, but their purchases
seemed to be for nearby requirements
only. Prices were unchanged at 625c
for fine granulated.
Futures were firmer in sympathy with
raws, closing to u points net higher.
There was a little covering by shorts
and trade interests, which accounted for
the early demand, while offerings were
not very aggressive, holders evidently be-
ing impressed by the recent improved de-
mand for refined. Sales for the day were
1850 tons. September sold at 4.13c. clos

CALLED TO CALIFORNIA
BY DEATH OF BROTHER

Thomas Dolf departed last Sun
day for Eureka, California, in re-
sponse to a telegram announcing
the sudden demise of his brother,
John Dolf, at that place. Mr.. Dolf
was accompanied by a son of the de-
ceased, who had been employed at
Wonder for several months past.
The deceased will be remembered
by many Fallonites, as he has been
a frequent visitor to this city his
last visit occurring about a year
ago. He was an early pioneer of
Churchill county, but many years
ago took up his residence on the
Coast. 1t has been the custom of
the brothers to exchange visits an
nually and the fraternal bond be-
tween the two men was unusually
strong.
No particulars were received as to
the cause of death. The funeral
was to have taken place at Eureka
yesterday.

CHURCHILL COUNTY HIGH
WILL GIVE FIRST CONCERT

Early last autumn, il was an
nounoed that a class in vocal music
would be one of the departures ven-
tured upon in the conduct of the
High School. The course was pure
ly elective but met with instant fav-
or and enrolled nearly forty stu
dents. Attention has been given in
some degree to reading and voice
culture but most largely to the
learning and practice of songs.
To this pleasurable task, the
members of the chorus have devoted
themselves with persistence until
they now have "a rather extended
repertory of good music under easy
command. The thirty voices now in
the chorus have been SO much to-
gether that they blend most harmon
ously and pleasingly.
Because of the size of the Univers-
ity Glea Club and the consequent ex-
pense of the concert, it has not been
feasible to bring them to Fallon un-
der the auspices OF the school. This
concert is offered with much conf
dence that it will prove an accept
eble substitute for the Glee Club at
the same time that it offers the Fal-
lon public an entertainment by home
people exclusively, for the benefit
OF home folk and home enterprise.
The concert will be given Monday
evening, May %, at the New Rex
Theatre. Prices are fixed at the
popular rates of soc for reserved
seats, 35c for general admission,
and 25c for children. Reserve seats
early so as to have good choice of
location. Everyone come and hear
the High school boys and girls re-
cite and sing.

Tor several days past rumors have

of the stock in the institution.
Yesterday it was announced that
negotiations to this end had reached

come or what changes will be made
in the directorate. It is understood
however, that the Williams Estate
will retain an interest in the instltu-
ton and that some of the stock
holders will retire outright, while
others will dispose CT sufficient
number of their shares to enable
Mr. Wingfeld to come into posses
sion of at least 81 per cent of the
stock.
The Churchill County Bank has
long been regarded as one of the
soundest financial institutions in the
State, its directorate and stockhold-
ers being among the most substan
tial citizens of the county, The en-
try of Mr.. Wingfield into this field,
where he already has large and inn
portant mining, farming and other
interests, has long been considered
inevitable and that he has decided
to add the Churchill County Bank
