PLEASANT HILL ACADEMY

After the visit of Mrs. F. w. Wilcox
Of the New York DICE, mentioned in
our last issue, gave an added interest
to the coming of Irving c. Gaylord,
treasurer, and Arthur B. Homes, arch
itect, from the same Office, who were
with us a few days last week. Mr..
Homes is frequent visitor, but this
was Mr. Gaylord's first visit to Pleas
ant Hill, and we feel that it will mean
much to the school, as to him, in the
days to come. Mr.. Gaylord expressed
himself very much with the school and
its spirit; he pledged himself to the
forwarding of the plans for the devel-
opment of our school,

Number of Influences Served to
Promote Further Caution In
Trading Circles

New York, May 1.-THE professional
character Of the current trading was
brought out more strongly than ever In
today's variable stock market. During
the greater part OF the morning the gen.
eral list continued to display a pro-
nounced rcactionary tendency and prices
we're marked down to lower levels with
out practically any opposition to speak
Of. About the only support was that
emanating from the profit taking oper-
atoms Of the short interest. The cover
ind Of this element influenced sub
stantial recoveries in the midsession. but
the market became listless on the re-
bound, rejecting the wide growth Of the
cautiousness Of the entire trading ele-
ment.
While there was nothing especially
disconcerting in the over Sunday de-
velopments, yet there were number OF
elements in the situation which COM
biued not only to restrict market opera
tions, but also give to some extent, a
further advantage to the bear element.
Pre- eminent among these was the
federal reserve board conference at
Washington, which is considering the
general financial situation of the coun-
try, and which is likely to influence
some radical steps in efforts to adjust
the strained credit situation.
The growing seriousness of the trans
portation tie up could also be counted
upon to create more or less uneasiness
in market circles. At the same time
little encouragement was offered by the
money market. Call loans opened at
8 per cent, and the supply did not ap-
pear to be ovcrplcntiful even ut that
high rate. On the top Of these events

TRADING QUIET
IN LOCAL SHARES
Prices Continued to Shade of
Fractionally on Very
Limited Offerings

The local market continued to show
sagging tendency and there was a
further lowering of quoted values in al
most all parts of the list. This was not
because of any great amount of selling,
as the offerings most everywhere con
tinued to be extremely limited. The
buying power, on the other hand, was
still greatly restricted, and in consc
quence what few sales were made were
generally at concessions from the pre-
vious transactions.
The dealings were small and in most
of the more prominent local shares were
made up of the familiar small odd lots.
There was recurrent dribbling liquida
ton OF Lake Superior Corporation at
the outset. which depressed the price to
10. When these orders was executed,
little or no interest was manifested in
the stock. Moderate selling orders
caused Philadelphia Electric to fall back
to 24h and Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit TO %. United Gas Improvement
moved up a peg to 43H. Pennsylvania
Railroad was sold a little more freely
resulting in the quotation dropping un-
der 40 again to 39Ss. The narrowness
of the market was indicated in 81 de-
cline in Lehigh Navigation to 81. on
relatively small sales. Electric Storage
Battery and American Gas remained
unchanged.

IN CURB MARKET
Losses Confined to Fractional
Amounts-SeveraI Issues 40
Make Gains

New York, May 1.-THE market on
the Broad street curb held in a fairly
good manner in view Of the unsettled
movements on the stock exchange. Only
few issues in the outside trading
showed pronounced weakness, and even
in these cases, the selling was not due
to any uneasiness, but was caused by
special influences.
Most attention was demanded by
Texas Pacific Coal and Oil, which broke
from "a to 80 on the announcement Of
the offer of 200, 900 shares of new stock,
at $40 a share. The rights to sub.
scribe started at 10 and quickly dropped
to H.
General Asphalt also fuctuated over
a wide range, advancing more than 1
point to "a, and then dropping to 73.
Outside these issue dealings were
quiet, and the tone steady with losses
consisting of fractional amounts.
Several issues made some gains. Her
cules paper being traded In at 22 to "a
and Carib Syndicate advanced from
209s to 21M.
