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

New York, March 17.-Therc was some
further speculative liquidation going on
in the stock market today as Il natural
sequence 10 the active selling to that end
in progress at the end of yesterday. The
volume of trading diminished consider
ably and the Tightening OF the selling
pressure before the end of the day OPEN
ed the way To an irregular recovery. The
rally was not entirely convincing To sDec-
ulative sentiment and the later market
fell into dulness and hesitation. The ac-
ton of Amalgamated Copper WAS Of large
influence on the general course of the
market, and the evidence of support in
that stock helped the recovery, just as
its sudden break the afternoon before had
proved discOnciliating to sentiment. The
decline in prices was accompanied by
Tie expressed suppositinn that another
message was soon to come from the Pres
ident containing severe arraignmeEt OF
corporations and capitalists and the re-
covcry led to Il shirt so far in this point
of view as tine assumption that the eX-'
pected message was TO he IN milder terms
and calculated to assuaee the uread OF
security holders. The efficiency of these
judgments was of Il grade to indicate
pretty infallibly the lapse of the dealings
back into the hands OF professional board
room traders.
A projected government prosecution
against the Chesapeake e. Ohio kept alive
the influence Of yesterdays supreme court
decision in the packing house discIimi-
nation case. Short selling by the bears
has been constant since the signs of re-
action developed yesterday. ana the ne
cessities thus created made an increasing
mainStaN for the market. With Il recov-
erinS tendency established. the bears at
tempted quite generally to cover and
helped on the rally. Another rise in the
price of copper in London was an aid to
the making of higher prices for the cop
per securities. although It's effectiveness.

fiuence yesterday To check the decline.

NATIONAL COMMISSION
iNFLICTs SEVERAL FINES.

Cincinnati, O, March l7.-Fines of
800 each were inflicted on the Boston
American League. Columbus American
Association, Chicago American League
and New Orleans club by the National
Baseball Commission for alleged mis-
leading statements in agreements for
the transfer Of Players Gessler, Robe
and Dundon The Columbus club sub
United its agreement with the Boston
Americans for sale Of Player GesSler,
part of the consideration being delivery
by Boston Of Player Congalton or Play
er Harris. This point was not in the
copy of the agreement on file with the
commission and furthermore Player
Harris was not at the time with the
Boston club. Declaring that the real
facts had been concealed. the fine was
announced, with the threat that a repe-
1itiOn of the offense would bring q
much heavier penalty.
The Chicago New Orleans offense
was a secret agreement for the release
10 New Orleans of Players DundOn and
Robe as part consideration for pur-
chase Of Players Manuel and AtZ by
Chicago This provisO was not in the
original agreement of sale az filed with
the commission.

SENIORS EXPECTED TO WIN
BATES COLLEGE INDOOR MEET.

Lewiston, Me, March 17.-(SpeciaD.
The question as to what class will
win the indoor meet tomorrow night
is the all-important question at pres
emit
The result means a lot to 1908, the
class that has record of no defeats,
except one. since entering Bates four
years ago. That one defeat was the
loss of the first outdoor meet, which
was held in the fall of 1904, before '0S
had made any attempt at forming a
track team. Since that event '08 has
been undefeated in interclass track
meets, basketball, baseball and drills
1t is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of points that each class will win
but odds seem to be in favor of 1908,
although the Sophomores are by no
means looked upon as easy. 1903 places
lots of dependence on Fraser in the
dashes. jumps and hurdles. 1910 looks
TO Williams as their point winner,
while the Freshmen place considerable
hope in Leavitt and Wittekind.
The Juniors have good men in Page
and Pomeroy. The relay race will
probably go to the Sophomore class
and the mile to the Junior class. while
there is considerable uncertainty i'm all
of the other events.
