In the stock market there was still
the same close connection that has
been observed all along between the
industrial share movements and the
course of prices in the industries which
they represented. The remarkable Sc
ries of advances which have occurred
since the first Of the year in oil sChed-
ules, furnished a logical background
for the upward swing which carried
many Of the oil shares to the best
prices they have seen this year.
In the same manner the continued
advance in the copper metal and in
the price Of zinc was reflected in the
strength of these two classes Of stocks,
There was the usual shifting about OF
speculative interests from one part Of

also signs that the forces which have

Plans of five new junior high
schools prepared by the school board
architects, Phelps and Devices, were
approved at called meeting of the
school board Thursday afternoon, and
the architects were authorized to adj
vertise for bids To be opened March
6. The cost of the five junior high
school buildings will be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. With the adop-
ton of these plans, the entire junior
high school building program has
been completed.
The seven Junior high schools to
be erected under the S2,000,000 build
ing program will care for approx
mately 1910 pupils. Plans approved
