NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, March 26-Irregularity was
again the nost characteristic feature Oh
the stock market today. The undertone
was heavy at the outset: with several
manifestations OF strength, but IN the
main hesltatng. There was steady sell
ing of the most active issues. notably
the Sttels and Union Pacific, and board
room gossip credited the most influential
speculative element with favorng a re-
action. Announcement of the resump-
ton on April of full time at the Read
ing colieres gave stimulus to Reading
and other coal shares. Another faVof-
able factor was the reoDening of the
dealing with the steel and iron trade was
not especially encouraging. On the other
hand, it was asserted in trustworthy
quarters that the demand Tor copper mas
forced that metal higher. An advance
of 1877 cents per pound was announced
by Calumet Hecla. This advance was
concurrent with Increased strength IN
that metal in the European markets Fur

Dallas, March 26-The fast game

YALE WANTS MORE
ATHLETIC SPORTS,

New Haven. March 26.-More ath-
letics instead of less is called for by
the Yale Alumni Weekly, editorially,
in discussing the scheme of American
universities to limit athletic schedules.
The Weekly says:
Yale does not believe in too much
athletics. certainly not too much inter-
collegiate athletics. Nor is there any
feeling at Yale that there is too much
intercollegiate athletics at the present
time in her own schedules. University
spirit is unquestionably fostered by
numerous Intercollegiate contests. Ath-
leteS have some goal to work for The
Saturday afternoon games during the
season keep men in New Haven and
away from New York Alumni interest
and pride in the university are un-
doubleday renewed and rekindled by
intercollegiate victories. What Yale
needs is not Il curtailment Of these
none too many intercollegiate games,
but a development of athletic contests
among the undergraduates themselves
on their avn fields"

Chance is one Of the best pinch hitters

not be weakened by the substitution of
Arty Hoffman for Chance hut they would
