STOCKS DECLINE IN
 AN ACTIVE MARKET
Heavy Dealings Occur in a Few
 Leading Issues
EARLY ADVANCE IS LOST
Some Stocks Gain Little After the Opening of the Market But the Lnte Prices Show General
 Falling or

New York. November 1.-The operations in stocks became highly congested again today in two or three of the favorite speculative stocks, giving the market the appearance of professionalism and of direction and control from centralized sources.
 The great activity of a few commits sion houses in the enormous transactions in few stocks added to this effect. The volume of the dealings In United States Steel again rose to nearly one third of the aggregate transactions and the sales of Reading and Union Pacific combined were almost as large as those in Steel The latter stock opened at a fractional advance over any prices touched since April last and moved to higher planes by successive steps.
 The extreme specialization of the spec ulation and the unresponsiveness of the general list gave a lack of symmetry to the movement which involved scrutiny and aroused some discontent. With ru- mors of short term note issue by New Ycrk Central there came a violent change in prices and an unsettled closing. with many substantial net declines.
 The days market was ascribed to po- lit.cal sentiment to a large extent. The
 
 tion as is the prediction furry and the stock market is discounting such a move ment The railroads are said to be await ing the opportunity of the relief from political exigencies to place their de- ferred orders for material. It is this in particular that is dwelt on to justify the aggressive advance in United States Steel in face of the coming report of November 1, thrilled tonnage on hand, which Is expected to show low record figure.
 Limitations disseminated also that the copper producers report for October, to appear next week, may be expected to show a material reduction of the un- wieldy surplus stocks of the metal. The price of the metal rose again in London today, but the copper industrials made little response.
 The-call money market was firm again with no loans below per cent, and the maximum for the season rising another fraction to 4% per cent. The time money market was also strong, the asking rate for 6o-day and 90-day loans rising to bA per cent, with money lending at per cent for these periods The estimates of the currency movement indicate another decrease in cash of nearly s3,O00,VOo. Bankers finance bills have been sold in inc foreign exchange market during the week and reports are becoming current of borrowing of large sums in Paris and London in this way for the New York account There was rise in the private discount rate in London today and for eign exchange rates recovered here.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,049,O00.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

New orienn. Cotton Market


 New Orleans, November 4.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of 8 to il points on good cables and cold weather in the eastern and central sec ton of the belt. which some traders were inclined to believe would interfere with picking. Wires in the east were reported down as the result of heavy storm and no quotations were received from New York or Liverpool in the early trad ing, which caused dullness locally. The market had good tone, however, and on a moderate amount of buying the trading months were put to 0 level Il to 13 points over yesterdays close.
 The market was quiet and steady throughout the morning session. Out side buying orders were its chief sup port Telegrams from the interior said that the shippers were buying spots in rather a large way and this caused room traders to go long to some extent and the advance was gradually widened until the more active months were 12 to IS points over yesterdays final quotations. Ring scalpers took profits on long cotton on this rise and at noon the market was to 10 points over yesterdays close In the afternoon session the market was affected adversely by telegrans from New York stating that a large long in- terest had recently been built up in that market At o'clock prices were to ' points over yesterdays close and to s points down from the highest of the day.
 The market closed steady at net ad- vance of to points.

Hubbard Eros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. November 4-(Special.) )-Ca- bles were rather better than due this morning. There was a good demand for spots and private dispatches from Liver pool were of bullish tenor, reporting rather better trade in Manchester. As the local feeling is now again extremely bull fish, our market naturally opened higher on the cables. The storm caused serious wire delay between New York and Wash ington, and practically no selling orders came through until early in the after -ronr. The few orders which then came to hand were on the selling side, with the osuit inat a narrow market lost most of the early advance. The close was very steady at some to points above last night. It would appear from the action of today's market that the short interest has again been much reduced, while the long interest has been increased. At the same time the market is very steady, and
 in view of the buliish sentiment which now again prevails. prices are likely to emain firm until the ginners' report on "wednesday morning. Liverpool is. due come to points lower in the morning.

COACHING system
CLASSED AS EVIL
Alameda High School Principal
Says Professional Should
Be Debarred
Especial Dispotch TO The Call

BERKELEY. Sept. 15.-That the. pro-
fessional coach is demoraIizing to
athletics in the high school and univer-
sity, and degenerating to a marked de-
gree, was the declaration of Principal
George C. Thompson of the Alameda
high school before a class in education
al the university this afternoon. in
California hall.
He said the influence of the profess
sional coach tended to make hoodIums
of the students without giving anythin z
in return in the way of moral uplift.
He declared that one of the worst
things in having coach not connected
with the student body was the COM
petition and spirit of fight melted
among the competitors. which was
especially noticeable in football
scholarship is neglected. he said.
"and the physical body strained to it's
utmost, and sometimes permanently in
jured, because of the spirit melted by
these coaches.
educators of the bay cities had taken
up the matter. and would shortly hold a
meeting at which the placing = of
athletics on more rational basis would
be discussed. ~
One of the reforms which would be
attempted, he declared, would be the
elimination of the various leagues
which favor the professional coach.
The giving of cups and trophies was
also said to bad moral influence
promoting betting, gambling and other
evils.

tween first and second and began to
tear. Though half the Vernon infield
went after the sphere, nobody could
pick it up in time to catch the Seal
shortstop. Mohler came on with the
run.
After that both teams settled down
and gave their pitchers marvellous sup
port. From the way things were break
ing 1t began to look as though the
fans would be held for IA or ) innings
or till such time as the sun might re-
fuse to shine any longer. 1t was quick
action on both sides, with the best
stickers falling helpless before the
pitchers
With Berry leading off for the Seals
in the tenth their chances seemed none
too brilliant. especially after two
strikes and three balls had been called
on the Seal catcher. Suddenly there
was a Whit and a thud and the fans
who watched closely saw the ball sail
over the left field fence on a line
Thus the game ended. with nobody out
for the Seals in the tenth.
This homer of Berry's was the only
legitimate run which the Seals stuck
over and therefore it would appear that
the boys were lucky indeed to get away
be given credit .or having played the
game all the way throughout without a
mistake and having taken advantage of
every opening which their opponents
left them. The score:
