wholesale buying at others. The profit
taking was most conspicuous in some of
the stocks which had been the most effec-
tive leaders for some time past and whose
movements were of proportion;itc infiu-
ence on speculative sentiment. Reading
and American Smelling were the notable
examples in this class. In the latter part
OF the day the influence Of the realizing

ket. brooklyn Transit WAS the center of
interest and the market methods employ
suggested the resumption of veteran spec
ulative leadership. Amalgamated Copper

ment of an advance in the price of crude
copper. 1t was not until late in the day
that a movement in Erie, Atchison and

The election of football captain of the
Princeton team will be held in the near

he offered the captaincy again. He is the
strongest man on the team and the best
qualified as a leader. Men who know
him well seem to think that he will ac-
cept the captaincy when it is offered.
There are three juniors who might get a
chance at it if Cooney could not he per-
suaded to lead the men again, next year.
They are: II. Dillon, the guard; Herring.

these three men Dillon has played the
longest on the varsity and would prob
ably be second choice after Cooney.
