NKW YORK. May 14.?Following an i
opening ii which the t?nly relief from an '
Hp^earauce of the - alines:; and nionoto- j
noil;; sameness was a loss of of a point j j
in Reading, the market eon tin ued for ?
some time to wear tuo apatheti look j '
that distinguished it for the greater part
of yesterday. Before the end of the first ' ,
hour, however, there was a change in I
the character and frequency of the trans- 1
actions, and a ver\ respectable aetivitv |
ensued, whi. h lasted intermittently until 1 ,
th" close. |
The activity was niainiv in a small nmn- , 1
her of stocks, among which International
Harvester. United State< Rubber, t'ana- '
dian Pacific and Amalgamated tVpper were
the most conspicuous, all of them ^
showing on occasion marked advances ^
over yesterday's best figures. i

Kubher Company. Amalgamated Copper j
reflected the purchase of the'Clark prop- . 'r
> rties in Montana, announced too late j
yesterday to lie a market factor.
The only news over night tiiat might A
. ave been a market influence was the i ^
passage by the I'nited States Senate of 1
the long and short haul amendment to tlie ;
railroad bill. '
A hank statement showed an increase in ' i
surplus reserves of $6,332,42o. ' j

_________
Some of Them Already Had Elab-!
orate Costumes Prepared?Ko
Order by Board.
The efforts Of the board of education
to bring about greater simplicity and less
j expense to the pupils in the graduating
j exercises of the high schools are said to
| have caused feme of the giris at the Iius?- ;
ness Higii School several unhappy mo- !
ments and a number of tears. Kor, it is j
| reported, they have been requested by a j
, representative of the principal of the :
j school, Allan Davis, not to wear elaborate
j gowns at.-the exercises. This was a sad
joiow.to the girls, some of whom already
{.have their gowns, and were eounting on
! wearing th.oin on. the big occasion of their
| school career. When asked if they, would
I hot come in simple costume the eventful
j'night tliey all tave their as.-vent. It Is said, i
j Hub the feeling of resentment is smonlef- j
i in*. V .
t it was stated today by President Oyster
of the' tioard or education that the
1 ] noard had issued no order directing tnat
members el1 the- f-.tauwating classes of
i the ingti schoois shoiiul not wear evening
ciothes at the graduating exercises.
Merely a Recommendation.
i>
He said the board had recommended to j,
' the superintendent of schools that such
steps be taken to bring about simplicity
in the exercises and to cause less ex- j
pense to the students as were found to ,
be possible. The recommendation w as I
made, he said, so as not to make the |
exercises a burden to the students of
moderate means.
Supt. Stuart declared he had issued no ;
order putting a ban on evening clothes. ;
He said that he hud conveyed the recommendations
of tin- board of education to
the principals of the schools and had left
tlieni to work out the problem for tiioiiiselves.
He felt sure, lie said, they would
do so successfully.
Exercises in Afternoon.
"One step lias been taken to make the
exercises less costly." said Mr. Stuart. '
"All of tiie graduating exercises in all '
the high schools except tin- Business High '
j School will lie held in the afternoon in{
stead of the evening. This naturally docs '
| away with the idea of evening < lothes. '
and the costumes for the afternoon are '
not supposed to he as costly as those for
the evening. Then it will not be neees- 1
sary to have carriages as at night. The
pupils in some of the srlioofs have taken
the matter in hand and have voted not
to have flowers.
"The Business High School, however, '
will hold its: graduating exercises sepa
raiejy ironi ine outer sc.noois, because it
has a very small graduating class; only :
fifteen will receive diplomas for the four- j'
year course. There are several pupils i
who will take a diploma for a two-year !
j course. But it was not considered advjs- ! '
' able on uocoiint of .he small number to j
: rent a theater for the exercises, as has
j been done for the large classes in the '
' other high schools, and the exercises for
i the graduates of the Business High '
School will lie held at that school."
