'The'Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of tho Days Dealings In All
Tho Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 22.-The stock market
today repeated its action OF several days
preceding. Heavy selling pressure was in
evidence while the foreign stock ex-
changes were in session. When closing
time abroad had arrived, owing to the
difference in time between these points
and New York this pressure subsidized and
made way for some recovery in prices.
The dominant influence In all financial
markets continued to be the London mon
ely position as directed by the Bank of
England action. The rise in private dis
| count rates in London proved that the
Bank of England found the power to
make it's higher rate effective and to
maintain it's control of the open money
market. This gave added influence to the
| admonitory advices from London of the
determination of the bank authorities to
protect the banking resources at that CEN
| ter from further inroads by foreign Dor
roWerS or seekers for gold reserves. 1t
was urged, in fact that the recuperation
effected in the position of the English
bank during the past week nnder the OPP
GRAFTON of the per cent. rate threw some
mystery about the further advance to 5
per cent. which was made yesterday
This view did not take account of the
fact that there were heavy Withdrawals
OF gold from the bank yesterday and APP
parently a prospect of more which call
ed for the additional protective measure
| there were heard in New York banking
circles some Whisperings of a possible po-
litical motive lying back of the bank S
drastic action and based on knowledge of
governmental affairs not known to the
general public. The Bank of England's
| action proved it's efficiency not only on the
home money market but on foreign ex-
changes which moved in favor of London
at all points. Much of the selling of
stocks here was directly for London ac-
count.
The weeks currency movement with the
interior affords some relief to sentiment
over the money positions The week S
| higher money rates apparently had oper-
ated to attract considerable amounts of
bank cash for other points. The SUBJ
treasury operations meantime have not
beer burdensome on the banks, having
yielded a nominal sum to those institu-
lions, compared with Withdrawals last
week of over $5,O0O,000 1t is estimated
| that the banks have gained in the neigh
borhood of 100000 in cash from various
sources during the week. How the week s
operations in the foreign exchange market
may have affected the loan item will be

ance of the bank statement after the

| New York, Oct 22.-JameS j. JeffrleS
has come back from his European trip
ready and fit to fight Jack Johnson
for the heavyweight championship OF
| the world. In the quiet enVirons or

Jim" Jeffries walked down the
gangplank of the steamship Lusitania,
which arrived today, in fighting trim.
His solid bulk of frame was without
superfiuous flesh and his complexion
was clear. Sam Berger, his sparring
partner, and a host of admirers at the
dock We're amazed at the physical
condition of the retired champion.

ment, but as to details, they can take

What about Johnson" was asked.
Jeffries' brown eyes snapped and
with a shrug of his massive shoulders,
he replied:
Il care not about Johnson. That
Negro has made more noise and done
less than any man I know" Then on
grill of reportorial questions, Jeffries
told his hearers he had brought him
self into fighting condition, but he was
little coy about telling his exact
weight.
"Well, I can tell you that 1 weighed

Jeffries slowly, land the last time I

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Oct o.
The local wool market has been very
quiet during the past week, but prices
hold very firm in spite of the dizziness
and strong efforts by buyers to depress
the market because of the recent weak
ness in Australian primary centers. There
can be little doubt in the minds OF the
manufacturers as to the strength OF
prices after the tests they have made dur
ing the past week or 10 days. They have
visited the dealers, have Inspected various
lines and have sampled freely, but care
full canvass of the trade fails to disclose
an instance where they have succeeded
in buying at any lass then the price ask,

have taken large quantities of wool out OF

GOAL FROM FIELD STILL
STRATEG|CALLY VALUABLE.

With the large number of games
played in which one side doesn't score
the strategic value of a goal from the
before its value in points was reduced
from four to three. The play is decid-
ing as many games as it ever did, and
in contests of consequence this season
no less than 23 field goals have been
kicked. There were few games in pre-
Vious years in wnich eight points re-
sulting from goals from the field de-
feated team which made six points
from a touchdown, though the possible
ity of such an occurrence and the the
DRY that one touchdown was deserving
of as much reward as two goals from
the field were justification for the
change.
Great advance was being made in
field goal proficiency, and the frequency
of them this year shows that progress
is likely to continue. There appears to
be no reason TO fear that this attrac-
tive exhibition exhibition of individual
skill will suffer because of counting
less, and besides there is always the
chance of two field goals beating a
touchdown. There is no chance of
points being lost when field goal has
been made. but the touchdown must
be followed by the placement goal to
make it the equal as a point producer
of two field goals. The committee might
have gone further and differentiated
between the value of a drop kick and
a field goal from a place kick.

TRACK MEET POSTPONED.
eowdon Sophomores and Freshmen
Have Another Week for Practice.

brunswick, Me, Oct. 22-(SpeciaD
The Sophomore Freshmen track meet
which was scheduled for Saturday, Oct.
%, has been postponed until next week.
Coach Morrill, accompanied the foot
ball team to Worcester and several of
the upper classmen who have been
asked to serve as officials desired to
attend the Bates Colby game at Lew
1ston on that date so Manager Emer
son decided to put off the meet and
incidentally to give the men of the
competing teams little longer period
Of practice.
The dates set are Tuesday and
wednesday. Oct. 26 and 81. On &C
count of recitations no whole day can
be secured for next week so the meet
will be held on the two afternoons
mentioned at $50 o'clock The fell
events will be held Tuesday and the
track events Wednesday.
Every man who is to compete has
been required to put in at least two
weeks training by the college so that
all are in fine condition and some in
teresting events are looked for
Another man has showed up for the
Football team who is expected to make

has stuck to the backfield. Dennis is a
Worcester man ard his work thus far
promises that he Will undoubtedly be
put into the game against Colby at
least Tor part OF the time.
Lovely, the Gardiner lad, is sure of
his position at fullback. He is a hard,
fast mar: on the offence and is known
as Bates hest defensive man. He is
also punting well and will probably be
used to relieve keancy in this part of
the game. Lamorey will probably be
given try in the backtield in case of
any accident. Shepard, another Car
diner boy, is just now beginning to get
into the form which the coaches have
expected from him. He may be used
either in or behind the line.
Bates line has been the object of
much comment but the coaches now
believe that they have the mystery
solved and with the return of Dorman
and Waldo Andrews, that Bates has as
strong a line as any of them. The ends
are certainly fast, although they are
very light. McCollister, a Freshman
from Lewiston, is right in the game
every minute. Bishops two years
work shows what he can do and the
fellows feel that he will be there with
his old form tomorrow The Andrews
brothers need no Introduction in their
positions of tackles. Dacey and Car
roll are undoubtedly the best combina-
tions of guards that the college has.
Strout, a Junior, is a good substitute
for either tackle in case of an accident
Jecusco is a fine substitute for guard
position and there is chance that he
will go in the second half in place Of
Carroll, anyway. Thompson. the Lew
lston High man, is a strong sub for
end and his height may give him a
| chance to play. Center is well account
ed for by Dorman. Bickford is ready
| to step into the place in case it would
be necessary to remove Dorman. The
latter will do doubt have his hands full
in handling Hamilton, Colby's great
| center. Tidd will probably give Del
bert Andrews all that he wants to do
for while. But Bates intends to stay
in and fight it out. Win or lose she
will follow the ball and make one grand
attempt to wipe out the two victories
that the Waterville college has charg-
ed against her.
The officials for this game will be
Fitzpatrick Of Union; Murphy of Har-
| ward; Dorman of Amherst; Clement of
Tufts; II. Jones of this State 1t is
barely possible that Fitzpatrick will be
| unable to be present. If this should be
the case the officials will move up one
place in the order in which they are
named above.

The men look good and Colby looks
Good in more senses than one. Rather
heavier than the home college and with
odds in every way in their favor, the Wa
tervile college certainly looks the
stronger. But Bates must never be mn-
deIestimated. Last year Bowdoin did
this thing and she had to be comforted
only with half a hold on the champion
ship flag with Colby as result of her
underestmation. There is little feeling
of overconfidence in either camp and it
looks like a battle royal with the winner
unprotected.
Bates has only one regret. Her team
will go onto the field without the guild
ance of her admirable little captain and
quarterback, Ralph b. Cummings. "Sher-
iff' will not give the signals this time
Although his condition Is not the most
serious that could befall a football man.
yet he is out of the game and the coaches
think that it would scarcely be advisable
to play him even for a few minutes. AL
though he has not been in the best of con-
diton at any time this week, yet tonight
was the first announcement made that he
positively would not be in the lineup for
the Colby game.
1t is up to the sub quarter,
"Chauncy'' Lombard, to run the team
in this game. Keaney, however, will
act as field captain. The boys have all
kinds of confidence in the little half
back, who has been so much to the
team for the past two years. They
Will work as hard for him as for any
captain and they have taken the mat
ter Of Cummings absence in the very
best manner possible They are in
high spirits, and will fight all the
harder as one of them expressed 1t.
Bates Is lucky to have a competent
man to put in Cummings place. Lom-
bard was III the New Hampshire Col
lcge game last Saturday after Cum

him OF retire. Lombard has acted as
captain OF the second team and under
