AN EARLY DEATH
For the Recently Organized Main
State Roller Polo League.

The following is from the Boston
Sunday Globe:
Bath. Me, Oct 30.-The newly or
SaniZed Maine State Roller Polo
League has already come to grief and
the opening of the season, which was
to have taken place at Augusta NOV.
3, has been indefinitely postponed.
William =. LevdOn of this city a
member of the board of directors, at
tributes the failure of the league to
open as scheduled because the Angus
ta promoters could not make suitab BILE
terms among themselves for organic
ing team and carrying on the game
in their city. Mr.. Legion says that
Gardiner Bath and Rockland were
prepared. .,..
Portland and Lewiston are imposs-
bii:ties in State League. and to 60
elsewhere the jumps would be so long
that travelling expenses would eat ul
large share of the profits.
Polo will be played, however. at in
terva!s in Gardiner. Rocklapd and this
city this winter. and it is more than
likely that an all Maine team NAV b.
formed which will seek games with
some of the large teams of the coun-
try. and possibly bring them into this
State for exhibition contests.

And Stock Market Takes
A Favorable Turn.
Imperial Bank Of Germany
Starts Financial Relief.
Leaves Minimum Discount Rate at
Five Per Cent.

New York, Oct. o1.-The relaxed
tone of the money market in Ne"
York last week cleared the speculative
atmosphere to some extent and the
stock market emerged through
period of uncertainty and irregularity,
into substantial recovery The deter
mination of the directors of the I'M
perial Bank of Germany to leave the
minimum discount rate unchanged at
5 per cent was the initial factor m
imparting renewed confidence over the
international money outlook. state
ment made by the authorities of the
Bank Of France to The Associated
Press was a potent influence in the
same direction. not only in it's asser-
ton of the willingness and eagerness
of that institution to loan gold to the
Bank of England on the same terms
as in 1907, in case of necessity but in
its expressed opinion that the situation
called for no such measure. The Bank
OF England under these circumstances
contented itself with official discount
rate established the week before and
refrained from further advancing the
rate The money rate in New York
was sensibly relaxed. The rise in
money rates in London was calculated
to disturb Canadian loans in New
York.
The revived speculation owed no
small part. also, to industrial consid-
erations The first impression made
by the quarterly report Of the United
States Steel Corporation was one of
disappointment. In the maturer con-
sideration the untitled orders tonnage
was pointed to as favorable condl-
ton rather than a cause for dlSap-
pointment. since it indicated the eN-
tent to which heavy production had
kept pace with new orders. while
avoiding the disadvantages of con-
tract obligations for future deliveries
at the lower prices formerly prevail
ing. Supplementary reports of the
large volume of orders placed daily
better prices since established, con-
firmed this more favorable view of the
situation.
Some special significance was at
tached to the new strength manifested
of copper securities. Reports of some
increased demand for the metal on the
part of foreign meters was of less in
fuence in the rise in copper securities
than were the persistent reports pre-
valent of plans for closer harmony
amongst the producers of copper look
ing to the regulation of present con-
dition of excess of production over
consumption.
One of the cOntributory influences
in the weeks stock market was the
revival of railroad rumors, especially
concerning the supposed failure of the
project of Edwin Hawley.

those that resulted in the death of young
Byrne, is about the same tonight as it
