BASE BALL NOTES.

The weather man can't be base ball fan.
The only consolation is that other clubs
are experiencing about the same kind of
difficulties as are the Nationals
The boyhood friends who bestowed the
nickname of Wild on Conroy never in
tended that IL should be perverted into
Widow " wild" is Camdenese for Will
liam.
Pittsburg refuses to take any chances
with its backstop department, and Archer,
who played n few games with the Pirates a
few years ago. has been signed for the COM
ing season.
Dunleavy the former Amherst star, who
made good In right field for the St. Louis
Cardinals after having started out as "A
pitcher, has been shifted to left field In
practice. with Shannon in center and Smoot
in right.
II looks as though Isbell would take Dun
don's place at second base for the White
Sox this year. Dundon Will be used as a
utility man IL Isbell hits and runs bases as
he did last year.
Billet one Of the best left fielders In the
Tristate League has signed with the Law
renee team, and in all probability will play
with that team during the coming season
Billet is great home-run hitter. His aver
age last year was above the 800 mark.

PROGRAM FOR
INTERCOLLEGIATE REGATTA

College oarsmen will welcome the an
nouncement of the intercollegiate regatta
program. Thi$ annual event will be rowed
at Poughkeepsfe on Saturday, June % 1t
was arranged this year on a half holiday
and at the close of the week, in response
to an urgent demand. The program as at
present arranged provides for the following
events.
First race, pm.-University four-oared
shells, by Columbia, Cornell. Pennsylvania,
Syracuse and Wisconsin, If she enters.
Distance, two miles, for the Kennedy chal-
lenge trophy. presented in 1881 by Davidson
Kennedy, Pennsylvania; to be held by the
winner for one year; now held by Syracuse.
Second race, 4:45 p.m.-Freshman eight
cared shells, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsyl-
yania, Syracuse to compete. Distance, two
miles, for the Stewards cup. presented in
1900 by Francis S. Bangs, Columbia: to be
held by the winner for one year; now held
by Cornell.
Third race. pm University eight-oared
shells, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown,
Pennsylvania, Syracuse ana Wisconsin to
compete; distance, four miles; for the
Varsity challenge cup. presented In 1898
by DIR. Louis l.. Seaman, Cornell: to be
held by the winner for one year; now held
by Cornell
There is a possibility that Wisconsin may
not compete in the four-oared race this
year. preferring to enter freshman eight.
anu Georgetown is also expected to send a
freshman crew this year. The idea Of hold
ing fourth race of the centipede type or
of single sculis has been abandoned owing
to the lack of enthusiasm over such pro-
posal. except on the part of Syracuse
The foar-oared race among crews made up
of substitutes. however proved so popular
last year that II will undoubtedly find
place on the program again this season.
The regatta will not differ materially from
those held in former years. but college crew
races are always attractive. and this spring
there will be the same merry crowds of
excursionists lining the banks of the Hud-
son as have made the Catskills echo with
their cheering In past years.

there has been much rivalry for the posi-

votes to win out. In the absence of any
official head Trainer Quirk will assume

DULL TRADING ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE Animation Was Confined to Few
 Prominent Stocks
  MOVEMENT WAS SLUGGISH Discussion Over the Coal Mining Set clement Was Interpreted In Favor
 of the Operators and
 Boosted Reading.
MOVEMENT WAS SLUGGISH

New York, February 26.-This was an- other day of duh professional trading on the stock exchange. Such animation as there was in the market was congested in a few prominent stocks which have held a leading place in the speculation for a long time past. The strength shown by these had sympathetic effect on the rest of the market. but the general movement was mainly sluggish.
 The basis of the market was the as- sumption on the part of professional op- orators that the reactionary tendency in the market had reached its limit and that prices were therefore due for a rise. Not much else was heard of to explain the movement. The withdrawal from the directorates of railroad companies of the members of one of the most prominent banking houses in the street was the occasion for much discussion and was made the basis for the suppositlon that the expected important events in Union Pacific affairs were to be forthcoming, following upon the withdrawals. There was very large buying as a matter of fact of Union Pacific, but there was noth- ing authentic to show that distribution of surplus and to stockholders was any nearer than for an indefinite past period in which the stock has been influenced by this expectation. The dragging of the discussion over the coal mining settlement was interpreted in favor of the operators

MARKET CLOSED
 AT NIT DECLINE Notice Day for March Caused
 Sagging Off SALES WERE 350,OO0 BALES The Market Was Very Nervous and Unsettled During the Late Trad
 ing In Spite of Heavy
 Covering.
SALES WERE 35O,O00 BALES

New York, February 26.-lt was the first notice day for March contracts in the cotton market. Notices representing about 30 coo bales were set in circulation early and caused renewal of liquida- ton which sent March down to new low level for the session. The notices were finally taken up, mostly by the same houses as were credited with is suing them, but the market developed no rallying power and closed barely steady at a net decline of ? to points. Sales were estimated at S5O,000 bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 5 points to an advance of 1 point, the gain being on the new crop. March soon sold off to 10.17 under liquidation but rallied during the middle of the morning on reports that notices had been taken up, and at one time was about 10 points up from the lowest and to points net higher. There was no important bull support. however, and toward modday there was renewal of liquidation through wire and commission houses under which March declined to 10.14 while May held around 10. 40, or about even with the low point of last Friday. There was eonsid- erable covering at the decline but the market continued very nervous and uli- settled during the late trading and closed within a point or two of the lowest. Aside from notices the days news seemed fairly favorable
 Biz spot sales were reported from Liver pool and a good spot demand is reported in the south Exports were nearly three times port receipts and the interior move ment is falling off to about figures or last year, 19O3-04 when the crop was only 10 GOO 900 bales

and was used to put up Reading again. Last weeks violent decline in Consolidat- ed gas attracted some effective demand at last today, and checked the down ward plunge in that stock after it had gone considerably lower than last week. So long as this demand was sufficient to keep up Consolidated gas, 1t was of beneficial effect on the general tone.
 When it gave way again late in the day it affected the general tone of the market. Amalgamated copper made a moderate advance apparently in sym pathy with an extraordinary process of marking up in the quotation for the new Butte coalition in the curb market, which was advanced rapidly from 20 to 32 bid. The price of copper metal advanced a fraction in this market, but was weak in London. Gr0ss earnings of railroads reported for the third week in February showed the very high ratio of increase over last year still maintained, owing to the contrast of the open winter this year, and the favorable operating con- ditions. These reports seemed to be of little effect. Tn the case of St. Louis southwestern, which showed an increase gross earnings for that period of S1 per cent, the common and preferred stocks weakened sharply. Atchson got some benefit from its 45 per cent increase in net earnings for January.
 Money rates were not changed to any Important extent, but time loans were reported firmly held. Sub-treasury opera tions have already taken from the banks $2437,0O0 on the week. and the govern ment institution was a creditor at the clearing house today to the extent of over a million dollars. Foreign money markets showed no sign of relaxa ton and foreign exchange here was held at last weeks level. The condition of na- tional banks reported to the controller on January 29 shows for the country throughout a growth of cash holdings of something like $4600O over the statement for the preceding November while the growth in the loan account reaches the comparatively moderate figure of $54000,- GOO. The item due to national and state banks and bankers has expanded upwards to 91,000,0O0 in the same period. Com pared with a year ago, however, loans of the banks have expanded nearly s343.- 0O0,000 while the cash account shows actual shrinkage of something Jess than S2,000O0O. There was a reaction on profit taking, but prices rose again to about the best. The southwestern grangers be- came strong on reports that the south west was selling wheat, and stocks closed firm.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, $4,S25, 900.
 United States bonds were all unchanged on call.
