Touched New High Record foF the
Year-Advances Due to Rumors OF
Higher Prices for Steel Products.
New York, Dec. 5.-To-day's stock
market was strong, but the strength
was uneven and few Of the most
D,ominent stocks closed the day at
fractional declines from last night.
The strength in the market grew out
of conditions in the cotton, coal, cop
per and iron and steel trades. Even
in the groups affected by these trades
there was some profit taking, as in
Louisville and Nashville, which closed
lower after erratic fluctuations.
The governments estimate of a cot
ton crop of considerably over $4,000, 900
bales and the prospect thus afforded
ia the cotton carriers of abundant
trafic was sufficient ground for the
movements in that group. Some of the
southerly trunk lines are sharerS in
both the cotton and soft coal traffic
and were in sympathy with both
groups.
In the anthracite group both Read
ing and Ontario and Western got the
benefit of conflicting surnises as to
which was to secure the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company. United
States Steel preferred touched a new
high record for the year on account
of rumors of still further advances in
prices of steel products and the main
tenance of present prices for steel
rails.
The large dividend declaration on
Boston and Montana, a subsidiary
stock was the motive for the buying
of Amalgamated Copper. Outside of

BROWNS SUCCESS
PUZZLE TO FANS
Pacific Coast League May
Lose Many Players When
Drafting Process Begins

How "Keg" Dugdale manages to
keep aDace with that mottled ball
team of his is a problem that would
worry any baseball fan. Still the
Brownies are winning their share of the
games at the present time and making
some of the star aggregations worry a
whole lot when they hook up. There
is no head to the outfit. no team work
and nobody can notice any visible gin
ger when they are engaged in strife
Still they get away with a goodlv nor
ton of their games.
From appearances the Oakland band
is in. The talent is there. but the
spirit is lacking. They can't win a
game any more. Some thought their
recent winning streak in the north
boded well for a climb to a top-notch
position. but 1t was not to be. As
soon as they came home it was the
same old story, in the same old wav
When Buchanan twirls they generally
win. but with another pitcher in the
box the odds are always against them
and theS generally lose.
On paper Oakland has as good a ball
team as any in the league. but done
does. not seem to count for much. Ever
since Lohman was forced TO seek the
bench it has been off with the Com
mEters. This demonstrates that the
venerable Peter cannot make his
charges play ball unless he is in the
midst of the fight himself
The drafting process viii in all prob
ability play havoc with the talent in
the Pacific Coast League this season
The ever alert magnates in the big
leagues have their glimmers already
set on many a promising youngster
and. of course, the Pacific Coast
League will have no redress when the
big fellows are ready to act. Then
the coast people will find that the
national agreement can do more harm
than good in this Far Western terri
tory.

media Boating Club, the Ariel Row

Dared shell crew made up Of Charles

/. Smith, No. 3, and w. Howe, stroke,
but there will be no race in this class,

will be divided into the usual classes.
The entry list will close at p. m. on
Tuesday, the 9Th inst. at the Mer-
chants Exchange, where the delegates
Of the association will hold a meeting
for the purpose of making the final
arrangements.
The regatta is expected to prove un-
usually interesting and to provide
good racing in all the classes. In the
2O-foot class the sloops Vixen and Zada
and the yawl Kittiwake will make an
interesting race. In the 25-foot class
the sloops Ruby, Discovery and Neva
will have a royal battle for first prize.
The contest is always close among the
yachts of the 307foot class. though w.
G. Morrow's sloop Challenger is sure
of first place. In the 36-foot class the
speedy Harpoon will fight it out with
F. Stones enlarged and improved
Presto, while in the 44-foot class the
sleeps Mike and Speedwell will con-
tend for first place. F. G. Berry has
fitted the Mike with a new suit of
sails and Commodore Jennings will
have the Speedwell in the best of
trim.
Though the new centerboard sloop
Corinthian defeated the fin-keel sloop
Challenger in the recent race for the
Perpetual Challenge Cup, there are
many yachtsmen who think the Chal-
lenger the better boat. The conditions
OF the weather on the day of the race
were especially suited to the shallow,
beamy boat and many yachtsmen be-
lieve tha with strong breeke and In
n heavy sea the Challenger would turn
the tables on the Corinthian. 1t is
practically certain that the San Fran
cisco Yacht Club will challenge for
the trophy next year. naming the
Challenger as its representative. 1t is
not, however. by any means certain
the Corinthian will be chosen as the
defender. Though the Corinthian ac-
complished the purpose for which she
was built. it is pretty we'll known that
