United States Steel Made New High
 Record, 134 7-S.

1 New York, May 26.-United States 1 Steel achieved the new high record of i 134 7-s in the course of today's brief l but active trading and carried others I of it's class to top levels for the cur rent movement. The vigorous buying | extended to coppers, oils, motors and wide variety of equipments and spe- ciaIties, including sugars. A striking feature of the latter division was 23-point rise in South Porto Rico
 Sugar to 200.
 With one exception, virtually all the eVeiOpnents Of the day were Of constructive character. Rubles slump ed abruptly on moderate offerings and
 were in part responsible for the irreg- ular easing of prices in the later deal ings. Backwardness of rails also served
 to restrain bullish enthusiasm.
 Coppers were assisted by news that producers had again advanced quota
 tions for the refined metal on orders deliverable in the third quarter of the year. Petroleums probably owned their material gains to fntimations of a fur ther rise in crude and refined products. A drive against the shorts accounted for the strength of General Motors and Studebaker at gains of If and points, respectively.
 Industrial Alcohol forged steadily ahead on ad advance of 5 1-2 points to 13S and extraordinary activity was gain of 8 points. Total sales of about T75,000 shares were in keeping with the activity of recent days. Steel as usual furnished fully one-Quarter of the whole.
 Important changes in the bank state ment denoted the shifting of moteys incident to the hotation of the two billion dollar loan. Actual reserves of local institutions in their own vaults decreased by more than S52, 900 900, while reserves in the federal bank in creased over $6e.o .ooO, 900. The loan ex- pansion of more than s5S ,o0o. 900 was traceable in large part to the grea increase of market operations. Excess reserves increased almost $30. 900 900, restoring that item to about s176, ,00O,- 900. against barely $90 000, ,0GO of the first week of the month.

RESUMPTION
 OF COLLEGE SPORTS
Representatives From Colleges Dis
 eussed Athletic Conditions.

An informal conference of graduate managers and athletic representatives of fourteen universities and colleges discussed the present condition of col lese athletics at a meeting held in New York Saturday. While these rep resentatives had no power to bind their several institutions the discus sion brought out the fact that it was the sense of those present that college athletics should be continued. Many notifications of the usual systems were discussed although no conclu- sion was reached.
 It was decided to request the execu- tive committee of the National Colle- giate Athletic association which an nounced a meeting of that committee to be held at Washington some time next August to consider these same matters, to make the meeting a gen. eral one of all members of the asso- citation, because the subject is so inn portant that all members should have an opportunity to present their opin- ions

They won on Saturday by play ing errorless ball behind Sallee. Brooklyn and St. Louis braced the past week, the champions winning four out of five games. The Brooklyn pitching staff appeared to go better and the hitting was more timely, pecially that of Cutshaw and Hick- man.
 The American League teams were troubled by adverse weather condi- tions. Winning the final game of the series from Chicago Sunday, through effective pitching by Mays, the cham pion Bostons were idle until Wednes- day, when they began four game series at St. G4ouis Barry's men took all four games from the Browns, who seemingly have lost all of their early season effectiveness.
 Except for their defeat by Boston Sunday Chicago won all it's games and retained second place, while New and two out of three to Cleveland. The Indians kept up their previous steady progress. Philadelphia and De- troit played better than St. Louis and Washington and managed to break even on the games played during the week
 The intersectional series in the Ma tional League ended Saturdky with Phila delphia having made the best record. Chicago, with ten victories and six defeats, led the western con
