ly to lack resiliency. The liquidation
was not heavy but such as 1t was was
very general. Reading led the list IN
point of activity, but allowing for its hait
shares. the sales We're but little in eA-
point decline in Reading was fairly at
tributable to the fact that it has been
selected as the representative of recent
speculative confidence in the coal trade
outlook. The other Coalers shared about

market, which is represented by quite
uniform losses of from l to points.
1t did not need the formal announce
ment by President Mitchell of the pur-
pose of the miners to make the strike
national mining strike to awaken anxiety
over the possible extension of the labor
trouble by sympathy into other ilelds ana
especially into the bituminous coal field.
The collateral effects of such an extern
sion are easy to understand, but difhcuit
to estimate. The iron and steel stocks
shared in the general weakness. The wet
weather in the Northwest retarded the
seeding of the crops may have been de-

in the corn market should have been
fair offset.
There is the usual mystery about the
effect of the weeks shifting for loans on
the loan account of the banks themselves.
There has been undoubtedly a great eX-
tension of credits iii the foreign markets,
but it is not clear whether the local liqui
dation in the stock market has gone to
the repayment of loans to the banks
themselves or to the trust companies.

McCorkell's average quite a bit and
would have netted two scores. But it
had no influence on the result and
really didn't matter so very much. The
Scores were made all right later and
MACS" batting average will come out
all right Aside from this the umpiring
was all right and the crowd was well
satisfied.
The bat incident was very funny. A
scorched bat seemed to be faVorlte
with the visitors so much so in fact
that it gave rise to the suspicion that
it had been doctored in some way The
umpire called it all right and that set
tied it. But DIR. Abbott wanted 10 De
sure and took the stick Off to examine
it. Then there was fracas i'll when
the crowd participated. But things
were soon quoted down and the pat
was declared eligible and allowed to
| stay in the game.
very rare thing happened in the
| fourth inning McCorkell was at the
bat when a foul tip took him IN the
face just under the right eye. 1t was
a vicious clip and brought him to the
| ground in a heap. No bones were

| continue in the game after a bit OF at
| tention from DIR. Abbott. But his face
was a sight to behold after the game
and the injury was very painful.
| Waterville took the lead in the very
first inning and held it for the rest Oh
the game. The team is rapidly making
a reputation for being hard batters anc
added to it in this game. Captain Ab-
bolt started the sixth inning with q
home run that was daisy, clean ano
hot. McCorkell ought to have had q
| threebaggers, but lost it on the decls-
ion of the umpire. Cook and Getchel
both took pretty doubles and Mason
got single, all in this inning. These
with three errors and a steal Melted five
runs. There was some more smashing
in the seventh. Captain Abbott agar
started it with a double. Mcclellan fol
lowed with clean triple, the ball land
ing under the caves of the gymnasium
Cook. Ware and Fuller all took singles
and Abbott on the second time round
also got d single. Then there were one
error. two steals and walk, the whole
footing up seven scores.
| Waterville outplayed the visitors il
every department of the game and haC
everything its own way. In the even
ing reception was held in Thayer hall
Edward Little arriving on the O'CLOCK
train in time to participate. This was
a very pleasant affair. The following

WATERvILLE WINS AGAIN.
High School Takes Lewiston's Scalp,
Head and All.

Lewiston brought along a hoodoo.
Friday. in the bat bag. and the hoodoo
was a combination of the unlucky num-
Der u and the unlucky day. Friday. 1t
must have been a hoodoo. for the team
certainly had hard luck. In the first
place. just previous to the game in
practice McDade. the regular left field
er. in running after a high fly tripped
and fell on his shoulders, fracturing
his college bone. The injury was at
tended to by DIR. Abbott and McDade
was able to witness the game from the
doctors carriage.
Then there was the dispute of the
three-base hit made by McCorkell and
the fracas over the bat and last of all
the overwhelming defeat of 1872. If u
team that went through this didn't
have a hoodoo along, there certainly
isn't any such thing as a hoodoo But
the Lewiston manager bought tickets
for Just IS men and on a Friday, too.
50 that accounts for it.
The three-base hit by McCorkeIl
which gave rise to dispute was a long
drive to right field. There is a foul flag
nailed to the fence at the proper place.
but there are also some white marks
across the cinder track which crosses
the field at that point. The ball fell
well within the foul line. but Umpire
Conway, being unfamiliar with the
grounds, took one of the track marks
for the foul line and called it a foul
He acknowledged afterwards that it
was fair ball all right and that he
had been deceived by the lines, but re-
fused TO change his decision.
Waterville hated to accept this de-
eision, for the hit would have fattened

Dover played a miserable game and
the locals batted hard. the combination
resulting in an easy victory. In the sec
ond inning the visitors went up in the
air and allowed the locals six runs on
seven errors. After that the result was
never in doubt. White pitcned a beauti-
full game, allowing the visitors but two
hits after the first inning and these wer.
scattered. The locals played new man
named Tibbetts at first and he made tho
only errors for the team. The batting If

Murphy & Co.'S stock Letter.

New York, Nov. 15.-The market in
the first hour showed extreme irregu-
larity with frequent fluctuations on a
downward scale. From the opening
prices which showed general recoveries
from yesterdays close there was reac-
tions of l per cent. and over in ST.
Paul, Reading, Pennsylvania, Balti-
more and Ohio, Louisville and Nash
vile, Central, Southern Pacific, and
some of the specialties and lower-price
stocks. 1t was obvious however, that
there was no pressure of liquidation at
all compared to that of the last few
days and the dealings were in smaller
blocks than of late. The bank state
ment proved much more favorable
than had been looked for and
the market, after some trivial recess
sions, advanced with spirit. The steels
were strong throughout Sugar scored
an improvement, and there were good
advances in some of the specialties
which were lately under heavy pres
sure. The market as a whole did not
fully maintain the top prices of the re-
covery. The closing was strong.
