Thtrty-eight applicants registered
for admission to the night school

plicants registered at a preliminary
meeting held last evening. Thirty
three were women and girls and five
were boys. Among those registering
were teachers, business women, high
school pupils and society girls.
The enrolment is larger this year
than last. This is probably due to the
demand for stenographers and to the
success of the school last year.

of the commercial department of the

NEW york., Sept. 17.-The New

today says:
There was scarcely enough ANNA

cate definite trend, although the
list was heavy, with here and there
a distinctly weak spot until the last
hour, when considerable strength de
veloped.
The opening today was steady and
dull to a degree.
The oil group and one or two indi
vidual stocks attracted all the de
mand there was, including Texas
Company Mexican Petroleum, Corr
Products, Refining, common and pre-
ferred. American Sumatra suffered
further loss of nearly three points
and General Motors reacted over
five. Save for Canadian Pacifice
which advanced a point, and one OF
two others, the rails were thin and
soft.
There developed a sudden buying
movement in the last hour which
carried the list one to two points
above the low level and netted sub
stantial gains. There was wild ru
