Market Was Livelv

New York, May 31.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said
Wall Street resumed business today
after the Memorial day recess IN a
most cheerful frame of mind, which
was reflected in active trading in the
stock market and a rising scale Of
prices throughout the list. The indus
trial issues were particularly brisk un-
der the leadership of United States
Steel, which again achieved a new
high record price for all time at above
1876.
The railroad shares were in good de-
mand at intervals, with Reading the
leader, but transactions were on a very
modest scale as compared with the in
dustrials.
The steel group lead easily through
out. United States Steel was bought in
large blocks, carrying it up nearly
three points to 136 5-S. Crucible Steel
crossed 80 and gains of two to three
points were general in the remainder
of the industrial list, with such fea-
lures as Baldwin Locomotive, Indus
trial Alcohol, the paper and tobacco
stocks, Mexican Petroleum, Central
Leather, American Sugar and others
There was but moderate demand fol-
shipping shares. Net changes in the
lcoppers were narrow.

ability and is heralded here as Oregon Is
young nightingale. Her voice is d
beautiful lyric soprano of wide range

number of years of serious musical
work in Oregon she has had three years

with unqualified success.
The Lisbon Herald says: ''Miss Mil
Ter possesses voice of unusual range
and power. And her program was ex
cellently chosen to show its qualities
The program began with a group Of
songs including "The Star" by Rogers
and Horsmen; "Bird of the Wilder
ness" which was given with fine inter
probation. "The Balletella" from Pa
glicaci was by all means the most bril-
liant of the evening. Miss Miller's ar

Schupp Wins Six Straight for
Giants---Ruth Puts Red
SOx in Lead
Bv G. H. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, May 31.-If the Giants
maintain their present position at the
top of the heap in the National league,
it will be an occasion for loving cups
to. Ferdie Schupp, young southpaw
Finger.
Schupp's sixth straight victory was
marked to his credit today following
his victory over Grover Alexander in
Yesterday s second game. His hurting
placed the New Workers firmly in first
place. Schupp has yet to be beaten this
year and he is just couple of games
behind in consecutive winning record
established for the year by that other
demon Of the off hand delivery, Babe
Ruth.
Schupp and Ruth, the two stellar left
handlers of the majors, are doing more
than any other factor to hold their
teams up. Ruth 3 hurting has placed the
Red Sox in first place. Schupp has done
the same thing for the Giants.
The New York star is an overnight
sensation. Starting last fall, when he
contributed more than his share to the
winning streak pulled off by the Gil
ants, he is now counted one of the
most brilliant figures in baseball. His
spot on the bench, worn smooth by
years of inactivity is now being worn
he weather only.
Winning first place in the National
league by some other club appareRtly
| is a matter of breaking Ferdie Schuppa
hypnotic influence over baseball
Winning it in the American league il
matter of beating Babe Ruth.
Only one game win be played today
in the National. The American will
stage two matinees If the Phillie'
