The local concerts at the Camp school auditorium were the clubs hardest problem, he said. and 1t was due to his suggestions that action was taken which may lead to their discontinuance. The free public school concerts, he reported, were much better attended and were uni formly successful except that the club had been footing too much of the expense.
 Composers Concert
 It was decided to postpone the local composers concert until the fall. There had been rehearsing upon the two works to be per formed, 1t was stated, both were difficult, and the club could not do itself justice by giving them this spring.

RALLY IS
 QUICKLY ENDED
Selling Pressure Is Directed
 Against Motors

New York, May 12 P(-The rally in stock prices, inspired by the ter
 mination Of the British general strike, was checked soon after the opening today by a renewal Of sell ing pressure against the motor
 shares. Opening gains ranged from | 1 to points. but these were mate rially reduced or cancelled before noon, with the market displaying considerable irregularity late in the day. Trading opened at 6 fast pace.
 but soon quieted down, total sales up to p. m, falling below 75O,000 shares.
 While the motors were t'le out standing weak spots, failure Of the early rally to follow through result
 ed in the throwing overheard Of other stocks which had been bought . for turn" by professional traders.
 Persistent selling of the motors re- ltiected the growing speculative be- lief that the industry could not
 maintain the high record of sales
 in the first four months of the year.
 New 1926 low prices were estab- lished by Dodge Brothers A at 24
 1-4 and the preferred at so 5-S, Jor-
 dan at 2S15 and Moon at 23, the net declines ranging from fractions to nearly points. Kelsey Wheel broke 5 3-4 to 8 new low at S7 1-4.
 Reports of a slump in the build | ing industry in certain sections of lthe country probably accounted for
 the weakness of International Ce-
 ment, which dropped 1 3-4 to a new low at 55 1-4. Baldwin dropped | 3 F points.
 Lowering of the call money rate to 315 per cent in the early after noon checked the selling in some quarters. Colorado Fuel showed in- dependent strength by advancing
 over a point to new high record for the year at 40 3-4. Sharp re-
 coveries also took place in General Electric, Atlantic Coast Line,
 Famous Players and Western Union, all of which sold 2 to 3Ia points above yesterdays final quotations.

Hart's Valedlctory

Theron w. Hart in reading his annual presidential message, touched upon the many problems of the society and struck an optimistic tone regarding it's future. The or ganization had weathered seven seasons, he said, may not be per feet nor is it on easy street, yet it went through a particularly trying season without losing money: and this, he said, should be a good augury for the future. The artists concerts were three the past season, one more than the association called for and nobody has reason 10 be dismayed at the result When there was talk of eliminating the artists concerts letters came to hand from prominent citizens asking that they be continued, and the club Is glad 10 do so.
