Schedule Meetings Will
Be Held Today.
Several Changes In the Rules
May Be Made.
Boston Americans Will Start Friday
For Little Rock.

From this time out until the opening
of the season the baseball pot will be
kept boiling The schedule meetings of
the two big leagues will be held in New
York today. For two or three days the
magnates who will represent their re-
spective organizations have been gath
erIng in the metropolis and although
the interviews they have had with
each other have not been productive or
any changes in the personals of the
various teams as yet, 50 far as an
nounced. it is likely that a number of
dickers will go through.
President Johnson Of the American
League and President Pulliam or the
National League have already made
up the schedules and all that Will De
necessary on the part of the two organ
fzatiors will be the ratification of the
dates agreed on by their respective
presidents. One of the noticeable fea-
lures In connection with these sched-
uIes Il the small number of conIlct-
ing dates, there being hardly a score
OF them.
There will be several conferences or
the rules committee IN connection Win
the meeting 1t is not believed that any
radical changes will be made in the
playing rules. Among the changes IN
the rules suggested and which VIII
doubtless be adopted are the following:
Scoring time at bat against a play
er every time he should have been re-
tired. but is saved by mur OF a loul.
Giving umpire power to call pa
when batsman tries to evade a via
p;tcn which hits his bat.
. Doing away with giving stolen bases
to runners on whom there is no play.
Prohibiting batsmen from stepping
from one side of the plate to the otner
while the pitcher is making his prelin-
mary motions.
To more strictly define the foul up
ruje: also the blocked ball rule.
Umrire to raise his right arm for
every strike.

London Stock Market.

London, November 12-Money was in good demand for the settlement on the stock exchange today. Discounts were a shade easier on the better monetary outlook.
 On the Stock exchange the recent mone- tary crisis resulted in stiff carry over rates for the settlement, which has just commenced, the charge for American be- ing to s yer cent. A fair business was transacted for the new account. The improving monetary outlook, owing to the inflow of gold into the Bank of Eng land consequent upon the per cent bank rate. and the cancellation of some of the New York gold engagements, favor ably affected gilt edged securities. while investors took advantage of the low level of home rails to increase their holdings. Americans started at well above parity in sympathy with the overnight New York news, but early buyers turned sellers around noon and prices dropped. period of dullness followed, but the receipt of the New York opening prices, with good buying, imparted strength to the mar lIet and prices closed firm at a fraction below the best quotations of the day.
 Foreigners and Kaffirs benefited by con fident Paris buying.
