MAINTAIN
MOST OF ADVANCE
Entire Market Is Strong Ex-
cept for Period in
Afternoon.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Another strong
stock market conceded today with
further advance In the exchanges
against the dollar.
The gold mining shares were buoyant
and the whole market was strong ex-
cept for period in the early afternoon
when it was unsettled by sudden break
in Chicago & Northwestern stocks and
bonds. This incident temporarily
checked the rise, but the list soon
steadied
Near the close a number of shares
shaded their best prices. Leading
standard stocks such as United States
Steel common, General Motors, Ameri-
can Telephone. United Corporation and
j. I. Case and many rails, like Southern
Railway, New Haven and Union Pacific
were either below their peak levels of
the day or showed slight net losses for
the session.
Sales Report Hopeful.
The most important business news
was the General Motors sales statement
for May. 1t showed that consumers In
tAiC CiiitCo ObdbCS oO,SOS CdIS AL
that month against II ,599 in April and
$500 in May, 1892
Commodities did not do as well as
stocks. Wheat closed * to "a of cent
lower. Cotton sold off 13 to Is points
Sterling opened on this side at s4.1o,
up l28, and at new high. BY noon
1t was quoted at Sab, up AS cents.
At that hour francs were 1927 cents,
up Ga points, with corresponding gains
in European gold currencies
Along with this rise in the exchanges
went urgent buying of the gold mining
stocks. Homestake ran up to $50 for
q gain OF 10 points before meeting Of
ferings. Alaska Juneau was turned over
in huge. volume at a new high, and SO
was Dome. Mcintyre Mining broke
through its old resistance point on the
upside
This demonstration was accompanied
by reports of the early establishment
OF free market for gold in New York,
which would of course increase the
profits of the American producers.
There was no official confirmation of
this story. In fact, Washington advices
discouraged it, but the rumor persisted
and had its influence on the market.
Tape Gets Behind.
Volume was so great that the tape
was always behind business on the floor
and during the first hour and a half
traders were forced to rely on the tele-
phone or the bond tape for information
OF happenings on the floor. In the first
hour the turnover amounted to 1,840, 900
shares against 1,520,0 on Wednesday.
Steel stocks advanced on reports Of
"a wage increase, which, if it came to
pass, would indicate confidence in the
trade in the price structure
At any rate, United States Steel COM
mon and National Steel set new high
marks for the bull market.

BANKING RESUMED

QEPORTS by the secretary of the treas
IL ury advise that in the 10 days per-
iod preceding March %, total Of 265
national banks reopened for 100 per cent
operation, following the recent bank hol-
iday.
Those of US residing in places where
banks were reopened Immediately upon
lifting the moratorium have forgotten
that all banks did not open at that time.
Some communities are still without
banking facilities, but the number is ex-
tremely few
Deposits of the 265 banks reported
total $3.50, 100000. 1t is an encouraging
sign, emphasizing the generally sound
condition of the nations banking indus
try, that they resume operation on full
basis. The mere fact that they are op-
ened assures the people that they have
been given the stamp of approval by the
government.
The bank holiday was inconvenient and
annoying while it lasted, but its bene-
ficial effects upon the country can new
er be measured in dollars and cents.

TRUST BETRAYER

CONVICTION of Sidney T. Graves, for
" mer Los Angeles county supervisor,
on a charge of accepting bribe, is not
nice thing to contemplate, indicating
as it does vicious betrayal of the pub
lie trust.
The erstwhile official was found guilty
BY jury of having taken a bribe in con-
nection with the San Gabriel dam fiasco.
His attempt to explain receipt of the
money by creation of fictitious charac-
ter was completely exploded by the pros
ecution and revealed the accused as
contemplate cheat.
Graves faces a term of one to IA years
in prison. 1t is to be hoped that he will
serve the maximum term but this is hard
ly to be expected. Political influence
will be brought to bear on his case and
more than likely he will serve nearer the
minimum term. This is usually the case
where public officials are convicted.
Our leniency with them is disgusting,
particularly so when heavy sentences are
passed and imposed on the poor, the un-
Influential and the ignorant

SCHOOL CHOICE SATISFACTORY

WITHOUT any intention of disparar-
w ing the other candidates in yester-
DAY school elections. we believe that the
MAJ loflty OF taxpayers will be satisfied
with the selection of W. J. Reid and ]. w.
Donohue for the high school board and
OF Roy Womack for the elementary
school board.
They are primarily experienced bus
mess men and not politicians, actuated
INTO seeking public office by a desire for
public service rather than for personal
profit or political influence type of
citizenship that is greatly to be desired
in all public offices.
While the number of votes cast is ridic-
ulously small in comparison with the
registration figures, it was nevertheless
much higher than has been the case in
former school elections and indicates
that the people are taking more interest
in school affairs. This fact gives
strength to the hope that the number
will continue to grow at each school
election
No candidate was successful in being
elected to both high school and elemen-
tary school boards, although two filed
for both offices
Some day Ell Centro will have one
board for both divisions of the schools
III is the only logical method OF conduct
ing the schools in an efficient and econ
omical manner. Having two distinct set
ups is archaic and unwieldy. not to say
expensive.
One board for high school and ele-
mentary schools works out efficiently at
Calexico and in other valley cities. The
same thing can be done here. Appar-
emily the people are not yet ready for
it. but eventually they will find it the
only proper course to adopt.
1t goes without saying that the num-
Der of fool telephone calls made today
was considerable.
One thing about a tornado in Texas,
it has plenty of room in which to play
around.
Uncle Sans gobs are not going to be
allowed to have grog on his ships. But
