full that they would break the Sab
bath if they cleaned their walks, and
even the street railway company felt
general apathy and unholy aversion
to anything like an extra effort to get
their cars running at all, to say moth
ing of having them run on schedule
time. Half a dozen Como interurban
cars were stalled all night at st. An
thony Park, and as many on the Ham
line line failed to find their way back
to the starting point until yesterday.
The Selby cars started yesterday
morning at o'clock, and by $50 were
running on schedule time, but 1t was
the only line in the city to do so. The
interurban got started at IL o'clock,
the Grand avenue and Rice street at
2. the Seventh street at 3, and the Como
interurban, after a fashion, at 5
o'clock, but at the last named hour the
Jackson street, Hamline Maria ave-
nue., Mississippi street, Stryker, State,
Fort Smelling, Groveland Park and
Lafayette avenue cars had scarcely
made an attempt to start, nor will they
all be running with anything like reg
ularity until noon today. The COM
pany has its usual street force at
work.
TRAINS WE'RE DELAYED.
Every railroad train coming into the
city yesterday, except the Northern
Pacific overland train, which arrived
two minutes ahead of time, was late;
the Omaha from the West, due at
7:25, arrived at 1925; the Omaha, from
Chicago, due at $50, arrived at 1O:45;
the Burlington, from Chicago due at
7:45 arrived at HOS; the Milwaukee,

four engines at S:25; the Hastings &

hand at the end of the week show a fur
ther increase in the volume of general busi-
ness. The increasing wealth of the coun-
try is shown by the fact that imports dur
ing the nine months ending September 30
were approximately S110, 600, 600 larger than
during the corresponding period of last
year. Notwithstanding this enormous in
crease, the excess of exports was 1917 ,272,
eco. This condition OF affairs, together
with the political unrest abroad, has en-
abled this country to further reduce its
financial obligations without the transfer
to Europe of any considerable amount OF
cash. The weekly statement of averages
of the associated banks shows a further
Improvement in their condition, but none
as regards the business community. The
only encouragement TO be derived from the
statement is the fact that the loss in cash
is smaller than for many weeks past. The
contraction in the loans is also smaller.
This would seem to indicate that the banks
are approaching a turning point. The net
result, due entirely to smaller deposits, is
an increase of over 100000 in the surplus
reserve, bringing that item up to over
81, ,000, 900.
In view of current criticism of the course
pursued by the banks it is interesting to
note that although their deposits are only
s4S,000,000 larger than a year ago. they
have expanded their loans S60,000,000. At
the same time their reserve is over S6,000,-
600 less than it was year ago, and the
surplus is only SLIT, $50, as against
1861, $50 last year.

But Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which again
led the list in respect to activity suffered
a further noteworthy net loss. Whatever
strength the market showed was due large
ly to the closing of short contracts. The
narrow and professional character Of the

the speculation was influenced TO no small
extent by reports that a prominent opera
tor, who for some weeks past has been ac

FOOTBALL GssMES YESTERDAY,
ooIumbia's strong Playing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Princeton' foot
ball team beat Columbta's eleven at Man
haitian Field this afternoon by the score
CT II to 0. The playing Of the Columbia
men was a pleasant surprise to their back
ers. One touchdown scored against the To-
cal varsity in the first half was due TO
steady, consistent line bucking, but the
touchdown made by Poe in the second half
was the cleanest kind of fiuke. Poe
grabbed the bali out of Columbia players
hands just as the latter yelled down"
and had a clear field Of forty yards to the
goal line. Some persons conyersant with
football rules believed that the officials
would not allow the play, but In this they
were mistaken. In the last eight minutes
of the second half Columbia eXcelled all
previous efforts in the attacking line. The
Princeton defence was we'll broken up. and
the Tigers goal was threatened on several
occasions. Instead of weakening or show
ing signs of exhaustion, the Columbia team
worked with wonderful strength until Will
son, with fifteen seconds of time left, tried
TO dropkick a goal from Princeton's so
yard line and failed.
The work OF Princeton's kickers was
disappointment. The line was very weak
at the tackles. through which Columbia
made the greatest gains and the backs
We're compelled to run with interferences
that were far below the usual Princeton
standard. Wheeler's beautiful punting,
which was at ali times conspicuous, did
much to nullify Columbia's attack. Pal
mer and Poe, the crack ends, backed up all
of Wheeler's punts with the speed of race
horses. Booth and Edwards were powerful
in the centre OF the line, but the former
was SO badly used up in the second half
that he had to retire.
Princeton's failure, however to make
big gains against Columbia's defence was
considered an evidence of weakness be-
hind the line and the coach appeared to
be worried more on this score than any
other. Princeton's defence was fairly good,
but holes were ripped in the line on several
occasions and only for the star tackling of
the backs when Columbia came through

Yale Defeats Dartmouth.

NEWTON. Mass, Oct. 14.-Yale de-
teated Dartmouth by the score of IL TO o
here this afternoon in a fierce game. Yale
scored one touchdown in the first half by
hard, straight football, but failed to score
again until nearly the end of the second
half, when Stillman and G. Brown broke
through and blocked a punt on Dart
mouths 7-yard line, Stillman getting the
ball across the line. Thorpe kicked the
goal The showing made by Yale was
very poor one, a questionable decision
alone saving her from being scored on,
when, with the ball in Dartmouth's pos
session. on Yale's 10-yard line, the umpire
gave the ball to the Blue for alleged hold
ing by Dartmouth man. Yale's playing
was slow, and the work of her backs poor,
McBride's beautiful line e-bucking and punt
ing alone excepted. Dartmouth had a very
much lighter team than Yale, but was
far superior to it in activity and dash,
Yale played better football in the second
half, as her superior weight and better
physique told on the lighter Hanover men.

criticism of the game is expressed in the

Yesterdays market was very much of
a piece with that of the entire week. pro-
fessional almost wholly, and with narrow
fluctuations in the general list. There was
little selling of long stock and the short
interest was enlarged. The money mar
ket was easier. These facts might be re-
cited of the entire six days OF the week,
as well as of yesterday. Their meaning
is, of course, read differently by different
people according TO their inclinations.
Some of the conservative brokers are trad
ers and consider the continued fair
strength of the market while the period of
tight money is ending, and when the
fighting has actually begun in South Af-
rica, most encouraging symptom of in
herent soundness, and these people are
expecting sure advance in prices in the
near future whether it is to come in a day
or month recitation of the bull fac
tors In the situation is undoubtedly en-
couraging Money is easier. During the
past two days it has varied from to 6
per cent, rate that no, one could con-
slider a bear argument. But tight money
has been the chief and almost the only
bear argument for aimofrth or more. The
period during which New York sends money
to the interior is noW virtually passed, ac-
cording to the experience of former years.
The November interest payments by the
Government are to be made this week and

be asked for by bond holders All these
items seem to make the promise of easier

argument 1t has had li4le effect on the
market so far, and the crisis has now come
and passed. The grain crop of the country
is immense, and thegwheat crop taken by
itself, is large enough to furnish all needs
for home consumption and export This
fact is strong bull argument, when it is
practically assured that the prices of all
the grains will be high. Railway earnings
are increasing steadily over those of last
year, and advancing rates and big busi-
ness ahead practically assure a continuance
of the increase. All the manufacturing in
dustries are in. a most prosperous con-
dition The exports of the country are
the largest in history, and the trade bal
ance in Americas favor is increasing at
the rate of over $4,000 600 year. The
general situation must be considered one
of immense strength And yet the short
interest has been growing rapidly during
the past month without making much i'm
