Metal shares assumed commanding position in tOday's broad market, q majority of the better known coppers, including Utah, Butte and Superior, Chino, and Granby selling at highest prices in their history Anaconda led that group in point of activity. The upward swing in metals followed fur ther sharp advance in the price of the metal abroad.
 Among the other active issues were United States Steel, which added d substantial fraction to yesterdays ad- vance, only to yield later on selling of other leaders. Lackawanna Steel Re public Iron, American Car, New York Air Brake, Railway Steel Spring and some kindred stocks were firm tU strong at times, but shares with Mexi- can interests were heavy, Mexican Pe- troleum, Texas Company and Ameri- can Smelling being under constant re

 United States Steel's tonnage report Tor January showed only nominal increase, but put the total of unified orders within close range of the record for over five years.
 Further light ill prosperous stee conditions was afforded by the Lack awanna Steel annual report, wherein

 FUR PARK DISTRICT
Landscape Gardiner Outlines Planting Plans for Several Years-Willow
 Avenue Main Drive.

After a stay of more than two weeks in Tempe, outlining the plans for the new school park district and detailing the work for the new decoration scheme on the Normal campus, l.. w. FISK, landscape gardener, departed night before last for Fresno, Calif., where the Fancher Creek Nurseries, which he represents, are located. The Normal and the Eighth, Tenth and High school boards of education arc heartily in ia vor of the park district idea, and the property owners in Gage addition are taking it upon themselves to see that their property fronts are properly lined with ornamental trees in conformity with the general scheme.
 The district as planned will embody the normal campus, the eighth, tenth and high schools, the Methodist and Baptist churches, and the residence district of Gage addition, situated within that area. About the public school the churches, and through Gage addition, streets will be lined on both sides with trees, for the most part pep per trees, and 1t is possible that addi- tions to this scheme will be made with in couple of years.
 Willow avenue, running east and west through the Normal campus, is to be the main drive and four rows of clms are to border the parkways on either side.
 The reports and plans on the work as outlined by AIr. Fisk have been turned over to the department of agri- culture of the Normal, which will su- pervise the work. Planting will com mence within the next week or two, and, according to present plans, the scheme outlined by Fisk will be ad- hered to through planting season for the next four or five wears
