WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Reasohs fol the further price advance, increased activity and extraordinary scope oi the weeks trading on the stock ex change were so obvious as to require little detailed comment.
 Conservative, no less than specula. tive interests, are ,gRatified at the presidents call for an early session of congress, accepting this as a fore. runner of pressing railroad legisla- tion. Need of such action was amply demons trated by the growing deficits of the leading transportation systems
 Aside from the stronger light thrown upon European economic con ditions, publication of the peace treaty evoked little discussion, except among international bankers, where questions involving an extension of foreign credits are under further con sideration.
 Far more interest was felt in the failure of the steel manufacturers and the railroad administration to reconcile differences regarding prices, thereby precipitating all unrestricted market under conditions without pre- cedent in the history of the inuustry.

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, May 10-Today's stock market gave an impressive demonstration of underlying strength, rallying easily from it's extreme de cline of 2 to 10 points in some of the more specula i've shares, notably oils and shippings. The break in these grops was precipitated in part by a slump of some 20 points in one of the prominent curb oils, that stock also rebounding briskly to the dis comfiture of the shorts.
 Accompanying the recovery of the last half hour was an urgent demand for some of the motors and food shores.
 Texas company was the most re- markable feature, however, making up all but fraction of it's 91s point decline, while Royal Dutch issues re- mained under pressure with Mexican Pc roleum and Sinclair Oil.
 Atlantic Gulf recovered all but a point of it's AZ point loss and Ma rines and United Fruit showed re- cuperative power Tobaccos, metals and equipment were steady to firm.
 United States Steel and rails were less affected than the more specu- lative issues. Sales amounted to l. 0O0,0O0 shares, which constituted the most active weekend session of the year, A N
 The days general news included the April tonnage report of the United States Steel corporation, showing further decrease of almost 630,0O0 tons in untitled orders.
 Bonds were steady in the main, the Liberty group alone easing slightly Total sales (par value) aggregated $S,250,00O. Old United States 2's were F per cent higher on call during the week.

This historic occasion will have
more than ordinary interest to High
landers this year because of the fact
that it has been selected as the date
for the unwilling Of the Confederate

now being taken to carry out an
elaborate and interesting program.
The committee IS in correspondence
with some of the most talented
speakers of the State. and nation and
is soon as replies are in, the orators
Of the day will be made known.
1t is part of the plan to have all
he young and old veterans of the
