STOCK MARKET.
Prices Of Most of Active Stocks
Lower Than Saturday.
Selling for London Account a Feature
From the Start

New York, Oct, 24--The burden of
selling stocks for foreign account grow
ing out of the stringency for money
abroad and the threatening outlook Of
the European political situation, cou-
pied with the depressing effect of the
supreme court decision against the le-
gality Of the joint traffic association
proved too much for the stock market
to carry, and prices of most of the ac-
tive stocks are between 81 and so per
share lower tonight than they We're
Saturday. There was quite an active
market in the first hour of trading, and
a fair volume of commission house or
ders was executed, which had come in
response to the encouraging three days
advance of last week. The selling for
the start, but prices were well sus-
tanned in the early dealings. The pro-
fessional traders soon detected eviden-
ces of realizing on the part of interests,
which were the large buyers last week,
and they promptly bid prices down in
order to take the market away from
these. London's liquidation was on a
very large scale, sales for that account
being estimated at $4,000 shares and
gave the bears the needed backing for
their success.
Operations for the long account were
almost wholly relinquished, and when
the joint traffic decision was announced
prices crumbled away before the at
tack of the bears without much resist
ance. There was sufficient covering at
the close, however, to cause some sharp
fractional rallies.
The principal weakness ON the Joint
traffic decision showed itself rather in
consistently among the grangers, Bur
lington falling an extreme 2 Ia Rock
Island / 5-S and st. Paul ga. The
trunk lines, on the other hand, were
not markedly affected, New York Cen
trail showing the principal effect with a
decline of l Ia.
The selling of stocks for foreign ac-
count was reflected in violent upward
movement Of sterling exchange, the ac-
tual rates rising fully ga Of cent for
the pound. The continental exchange
on London was at the same time ris-
ing quite sharply, and the open market
discount rate in London showed a
hardening tendency. All Of this was in
line with the active war preparations
reported from London and showed the
effort of a British financial centre to
call home its outstanding money re-
sources.
Not having any outstanding credits
on balance against the United States,
London sold our securities freely with
the same result. The midday reaction
in the foreign wheat markets was the
only feature of the day that did not
point to threatening developments. and
the latter recovery and continued large
demand in American markets for ex-
ports counteracted. The manipulated
rise in Tobacco continued and helped to
sustain the price of Sugar.

A WHOLE LOT OF cRlPPLEs
Yale's Practice yesterday Afternoon Was
Unsatisfactory.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 24-Yale's foot
ball cripples had hard but very unsat-
isfactory practice this afternoon. In fact
it was really no practice at all for the So
called varsity players for most of them
were not able to don their playing clothes.
1t was an opportunity for the lesser
lights of the squad to get into the game.
Capt. Chamberlain watched the practice
from a. carriage, as he is unable to walk
about without the aid of a cruteh. De
Saulles was not out at all, and Benjamin
and Dudley were on the side lines. Cutten
is not injured, but he is suffering with a
boil on his neck which interferes with his
playing.
The scrubs were given some preliminary
technical work and then lined up for 45
minutes of hard work. The college side
was in better form and scored two touch
downs Capt Chamberlain then directed
Mcbride and Brown, who We're coaching
until they caught up in the score. The
work was ragged and very poor and no.
body wondered at II for there was not a
single graduate coach on the field.
The players as well as the students
generally are very much disappointed at
the coaching that the eleven is receiving.
They point to the extreme need of some
other college elevens are receiving and
yet by the volunteer system Yale is for
days al time left absolutely helpless
when Capt. Chamberlain gets into the
game himself. Tomlinson was tried at
center today, Andrews and Stillman We're
in Browns and Marshalls places at
guard, Durston and Cook at tackle, Sloco-
witch and Thomas at ends, Sullivan at

admitted to the day nursery and the
Orphans Home, reported that such
children were received at the day nurs-
cry, but not willingly at the Orphans
Home.
1t was the sense Of the meeting that
some provision for colored children in
the line of a day nursery should be
made, A committee consisting of Mrs.
Ben Clough and Miss Georgia Haw-
kins, was appointed to look UP suita-
BILE rooms for the home. They will re-
port at the next meeting, which viii
be held at the residence of Mrs. Charles
Brown, 4 Palmer street two weeks
from last night.
After the home is established an APP
peal will be made to the press and pub
lie for assistance. A large number of
prominent people have already offered
their services to further the cause. The
home will preferably be located on the
west side, as it is felt thar II is most
needed in that section, and it will
probably be established there. Other
cities have Institutions of this class
and it seems very desirable to the coll
ored people of the city that something
Of the kind should be established in
Worcester
The president of the new club is very
well known about the city, as she is a
missionary of no little prominence
among the people Of her race, and has
done some very excellent work in be-
half of the colored people of Worces-
ter. She is at present in charge of the
mission, Of which she is the founder,
which is run in connection with the
Sunday school work of Dewey Street

ACTIVITY AT HERREsHoFF's
Evidences of Preparation For the New
Defender.

Bristol, r. l., Oct. 24.-The only ac-
tual evidence that the Herreshoffs will
soon begin work on a new yacht for the
defense of the Americas cup lies in the
fact that a large melting furnace and
pot have been constructed during the
past week inside the boat shops. The
pot will be used to melt the lead for the
keel, and it is large enough to hold sew
eral tons of molten metal
Work on the new yacht will not be
begun until the Defender has been put
in prime condition. Whether the De-
fender will arrive in Bristol this week
or not depends upon the weather. Gales
and storms have interfered considera-
bly, in the construction of the ways
upon which the huge yacht will be
pulled out in her cradle.
new and very powerful steam winch
is being constructed in the Herreshoff
machine shops, and will be used not
only to haul the Defender up, but to
let the new cup defender down into
the water without such an accident as
befell the Defender in 1885,
A piece of aluminium cut from the
side of the Defender above the water
line arrived at the Herreshoffs shops,
Saturday, TO be tested. 1t was found
10 pc as strong as when riyeted to the
yacht, its tensile strength being $1,000
pounds to the square inch when ap-
Piled The Herreshoffs have been in
formed that the Defenders aluminium
plating is in as good condition as the
sample sent. with the exception of the
portion around the stern aft of the
rudder
The new yacht win not be built for
any stated contract price. The Defender
was built on time work, with the price
of material added, and liberal fee for
the design, The new Defender will
be built on the same financial basis,
which does away with complications in
regard to the attention of plans by the
syndicate on any changes in regard to
the material to be used.

ONE TOUCHDOWN MORE TROUBLE.
Brown Found Hard Work
Beating Boston College.

Providence, r.. l., Oct. 24.-Brown de-
feated Boston college to 0 in this city
this afternoon. Brown went into the
field with seven substitutes and only four
varsity players in her makeup. Boston
college put up a stubborn game and
during the first half went through
Browns line for repeated gains. Hart,
for Boston college, made a pretty run
of 60 yards, but was finally tackled by
Pratt on Browns 20 yard fine. The
ball was worked back TO the center of
the field and was in Boston college 5
possession on her 20 yard line at the
close of the first half.
In the second half Brown put in more
varsity players and tore great holes in
Boston's line, showing Paine through
in nine minutes for a touchdown, from
which Richardson kicked goal. Only
10 minutes was played in the second
half, when the game was called on ac-
count of darkness with the ball in
Browns possession. The ground was
wet and slippery and there was a
great deal of fumbling on both sides.
On the whole, it was the best game
played in Providence this season and
was rather surprise to the Providence
boys.
