FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
GENERAL RISE IN PRiCEs Due to Court Decision in Connection With Coal Carrying Roads.

New York, Dec. 9-From the decision of the federal court of the Pennsylva- nia district enjoining the Temple Iron company, the selling agency of q num- Der of large coal carrying roads. but acquitting the latter interests of eva sion of the interstate commerce laws, Wall street professed today to derive much satisfaction and gave vent to It's feelings by general rise in prices The stocks most anected by rne news made the greatest gains, Reading and Lehigh Valley advancing over two points in the initial transactions. This advantage was not held throughout, however, extensive selling for profits soon reducing the gains to nominal proportions.
 It is yet too early to take full meas ure of the importance of the decision but the fact that 1t has been declared that there is no illegal combination to regulate coal prices and that the com- panies which constitute the Temple company will not be obliged to divest themselves of their holdings of stocks in other companies will probably be re- garded as a distinct victory for the an- thracite industry in the Keystone state. To what extent the decision bears upon the antitrust suits now pending in other courts is a matter of mere conjecture. In all proba ability the
 
 resort which implies further delay of many months. In many quarters the most important feature of the case Is the unanimous decision of the court sustaining Readings holdings of New Jersey Central and Fries control of Susquehanna. Less will not be heard of the time-w rumor dealing with the Segregation of Readings assets"
 The market continued dull and nar- row during the afternoon session in the sense that three -fifths of the business was in three issues-Reading, Union Pacific and United States Steel. Tn the final trading revival of gold import rumors imparted fresh activity and higher prices, with substantial net ad- vances throughout the list.
 A deterrent in the days operations was the forecast of the weeks money movement at this center, indicating a loss of s7,500, 900 to $9,000,00 Foreign exchange was down to the lowest point in over four months and little doubt is now entertained that gold imports are imminent
 One of the anomalies of the market was the strength of the St. Louis and Southwestern issues, particularly the preferred stock, in which a dividend reduction was announced yesterday. A rise of fifteen points in American To- bacco common on the "curh' excited some attention. London bought quite extensively here. purchases being re- ported at 15,000 to 20,000 shares.

KNoCKDOWNS
 IN BILLY ALIENS FIGHT
Norwich Lightweight Wins Whiriwind
 Match in Now York in Fourth Round.

From all accounts 1t looks as if Norwich was going to produce ma tive son. of some class in the boxing world. Billy Alien. the lightweight. of this city. who has been in New York for several months, participated in whlrlwind slugging match thero Tuesday evening in which he dropped his opponent for tho count in tho fourth round, after both had been down for total of thirteen times, fin that and tho preceding periods.
 Billy has participated in four other bouts, semi-nnals winning all by knockouts within round or two, but this last one was the best.
 BiIly's exhibition of gameness in the slam bang mixup is described as fol- lows by New York paper:
 "In what undoubtedly was the fast est and most furiously fought star bout seen in the city this year.. Billy Allen after an exhibition of gameness that was renarkable, won by a knock out In the fourth round from Lew Will klns at Browns gymnasium last night.

The loser in the same period took seven knock downs. tho last being the sleep punch Tn the third round both men were on the floor of the ring at the same time, each having given and received d swing to the jam simultaneously.
 Prom the gong that started the third round until the referee counted off the tenth second over the prostrate form of Wilkins there was not a man among the spectators who occupied his seat Forgetting. apparently, that there was any provision for sitting, with one accord the audience stood up and cheered impartially for the rarely seen display of fast fighting Except when the other was on the floor there was not moment when the men were not swapping fierce blows Half of the knockdowns would have been knockouts for ordinary fighters
 From the way Lew started off 1t looked like the losers end for Billy. After landing three hard right jabs to the jaw, the left handed glove artist put a left swing to the jaw and sent Allen down for the nine count. Up, somewhat dazed. Allen took another of

CT could they adhere to old football aI- most entirely. There were many points witleb to the veteran foootbalI players were second nature which this year. e new rules prohibited, such as helping the runner with the ball. and if was sufficiently hard to uplearn these fund afnentais without attempting to adopt an entirely new game.
 And Tor this reason no one knew the possibilities which exist for inc game of football After this season, which ts now over, teams will prepare new tactics with more confid. nee, and it remains to be seen what will be de- vdoped next fa1l.
 on fhfs account l wou1d not advise any great change. although I have seV- eral ideas that ultimately might be put Into the form of rules without in the least harn1ing the present great gam9 and possibly adding to it's safety and greatness. The changes which occur red last spring and which were made into rules by tho committee were made chiefly to do away with serious injur- les and fatal accidents. Any sport which endangers human life should not be tolerated. I feel that In some cases the committee acted too radically and took too many precautions, but it is far better 10 err in this way than to be too careless. At any rate the commit tee deserves great praise. for whatever accidents have occurred have been on- iy slight ones, and if any serious acci- dents have come, careful investigation will prove the football rules were not the cause.
 There is but one new rule that I would suggest, and that is the aboli- ton of the kick-On. My suggestion Is based wholly on possible chance for serious injury in such a play. When ever a kick-off takes place and we see tWeuty-tWo men scatter about the field, running at top speed, can we help but feel uneasy till the man is downed and another play is atartedI It was in just this play that Selby of Yale was injured a year ago against Harvard. He and another player collidcd with terrific force, and in collisions of that sort some one is bound 10 be hurt would suggest to avoid the possibility of such thing in the future that the ball be put into play on the eighty five yard lire in tine territory of the of- fensive team.

TED COY WOULD
 DROP THE KICK OFF.
Vale Coach Says This Would Lessen
 Danger of Football Accident.

It has been requested that I write my views on the possible changes in tho football rules for next autumn. Such is an extremely difficult proposi- ton, says Ted Coy, writing from Sa vannah, Ga-, where he is resting after his work with the Yale team this fall The rules this fall have been for the most part satisfactory to all, and It Is my belief that they should be kept as nearly like they stand today as possi- ble. No set of rules, however good, can be proven in seasons work; there fore, let them receive a more thorough test.
 Football of today is practically in its infancy. The rules which went in to effect this September were so rad ically different from those governing past years that no team dared expert ment with them. Coaches and players agreed that they would feel much saf
