FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
PRICES STILL FALLING.
Anc Shsr ovsrhaulins of Stock Market
 -Feverish and Uncsrtain Tore.

New York, Dec. 1.--The stock mar ket was subjected ito another overhaul ing today, in the process of which prices again fell with soms preeipita- ton. The movement at times was strongly suggestive of urgent Iiquida- rion. to which extensive selling of the s!rort interest gave added impetus. On the surface much of the days news was favorable rather than otherwise.
 The decision of the steel interests to maintain prices despite the increasing dulineSE ln the trade, and the reduc- ton of the Bank of England discount rate, which came as a surprise, should under ordinary conditions have proved helpful to the bull account, but for some reason the feeling of pessimism which manifested itself on Monday following MT. HllPs interview seems to have taken strong hold in specula- tive quarters. With or without reason, there is Q fast growing belief that con ditfonS in the steel trade must ere long reach 8 critical stage. Then, too, the quiet tntlmations from authoritative sources of possible labor troubles in the near future because Of depressed industrial conditions have given rise to some apprehension.
 The bearieh feeling on the board was heightened in the course of the day by the publication of series Of reports from the leading railway systems of
 
 with similar exhibits for months past in that they reflected heavy increages in gross earnings with the usual losses in net.
 The weakness of the Gould issues was one of the most notable features of the stock market Denver and Rio Grande preferred was at one time 1-2 points below the previous days closing price, and there were runorE of 9 re- duction or possible suspension of the dividend on that issue Other stocks controlled by the same interests were correspondingly heavy. In the final trading, however, Denver and Rio Grande preferred recovered all it's early loss on announcement of the regular dividend. and the balance of the list which made its lowest prices in the last hour. closed with fractional recoveries. The tone was feverish and uncertain, however. and such ground as was recovered was largely due to short covering.
 American securities were strong and active in London during the early ses- sion there, but broke sharply towards the close. In our own market Lon- don was reported to nave purchased from 10000 to 15,00O shares on bal ance.
 Net losses for October were reported by the Delaware, LackaWanna and Western, Pennsylvania, Reading and New York Central lines. while the Ma tional Railways of Mexico showed a handrOme increase for the same peri cd.
 The bond market was easy Tota, sales par value, S1.S37.000. United States bonds were unchanged.

RIDE FAR FOR
FOOTBALL NEWS
Penn Men in CShina and Philippines
 Get Scores of Cornell Game.

When Pennsylvania defeated Cornell in their yearly football struggles last Thursday at Philadelphia, two mes parts of the earth and two to the most inaccessible parts of this country. to satisfy the burning desire of four Pennsylvania athletes to get the news on the minute. The message read: We made good. Score 12 to G.
 Joe McCracken, who helped make football history at Pennsylvania not so many years ago. received the glad tidings at Canton, China. while Dick Dear, the sprinter, waited for the cheering news in the Philippines Mar shall Reynolds and Frank Plumiey. the half-miler, were the men, however, who let nothing stand in the way of their getting the news hot off the gridiron. Both rode many weary miles to reach a telegraph office in time to- get the first word from Franklin field.
 Reynolds is punching cows, or over- looking the job, at Foxiaw, Wyoming. He mounted his broncho some time last Wednesday and rode 150 miles to reach the nearest point of wire com munication. Plumley. who is buried at a little place called Sheepsrun, Mon tana, did not have to cover quite so much ground, but he rode his pony 125 miles rather than possess his soull in patience and wait for letter. The story goes that both rode home again with light hearts, satisfied that Penn sylvania was still holding up it's end.

Hay, GrafR
M'GRAW THINKS GIANTS
 HAVE FINE CHANGE
Conservative Manager Says Prospects Are Bright for His Players in 1911.

Manager McGraw of the Giants be- lieves his team has a mighty fine chance of copping the 1911 pennant. And if he says so, it must be so. for McGraw is usually more or less con servative about what he says along those lines
 The accomplished New York leader has been in Chicago, renewing old ac- quaintances at the annual minor league meeting in the Congress hotel, and al so attempting to dispose of few youngsters whom he has no present use for.
 According to his friends, McGraw agrees with the critics who say the Giants prospects are brighter for next year than they have been in some time.
 During the last four years. when either the Cubs or the Pirates have grabbed off all the good things in sight. MT. McGraw has been needing stead fly. He has been one of the best lit tie weeders that ever tied the can to suprannuated ball players, and his work is beginning to show good re- suits.
 The Giants won out in 1904 and 1905 but at that stage 1ho team tsruck the down grade and dteriorated stead fly. McGraw declares he rea alized that the old combination of veterans could not hold together and win any longer, and that the only way to get another winner was to graft new branches on the old stock. Which he has been do- ing. And which, in the opinion of MT. McGraw and a whole lot of experts, will bring a pennant to New York next year or at least the year following.
 The team Is young. That is one of its best merits. It's fast, corking fielding squad, hard hitting and >good on the bases. And with good pitching, those attributes will make the Giants an awful hard bunch to beat. That is McGraw's opinion, anyway, and while he isn't going around shouting 1t from the housetops, he is pretty confident that the Giants will be well up in the fight next year.
 For the ten nlilIionth time-''Y outh will be served The Giants, having much youth. are far stronger pennant possibilities for 1911 than the Pirates, who remain practically intact. As for >the Cubs, they are not denying the truth Of the old axiom, and every youngster filo comes along is to be given the best chance he ever had of fered him to break into major league company. The more the merrier-if they can make good
 The Giants aren't old, by any means, though they've been winning games together for long tfnie- They aren't as old as the Pirates. Still, it is the opinion of many baseball critics that changes should be made in the team here and there. and changes that will make it younger than 1t is.
 The point is that McGraw thinks his Giants have a brilliant outlook fo1 1911, and that a whole lot of people are thinking the same thing.

CATCHER CADY
 SIGNS NEWARK CONTRACT
New Catcher First to Turn in Contract
 for 1911.

Newark, Dec. 1.-Catcher Cady of the Evansville Central league club is one of the first of Joe McGinnity's 1911 Tigers to send in his signed contract. Cady is a 200 pounder who, batted around .260 all season, though it was only his second year in professional baseball. Cady is q sure conner if some of the reports are true.
 With Lew McAllister, the veteran. and Cady and Mccarthy, the new corners, McGinnity expects to have a staff of catchers that will uphold this department on a par with any club in the Eastern league.
 Mccarthy is the youngster from Dan vile, Pa, who gained fame first by his expert handling of Floyd Krohs delivery before the southpaw was picked up by the Cubs. Kroh has one of the most difficult southpaw delfv- cries for any catcher to handle, and Frank Chance was hot on his trail, but Cy Parkin recommended him to Me- Ginnity, and Joe beat the Peerless Leader to the new man by day. His signed contract is slowed away in the Iron Mans strong box.
 Secretary Thomas Martin, who will again be with Newark is due in town next Monday When McGinnity saw him two weeks ago in Bisontown, Mar tin was taking a series of baths just outside of Buffalo, and asked for per mission to remain at his home until after Thanksgiving. McGinnity read fly acquiesced and Martin is due on Monday.

TICKET ALLOTMENT
 DISPLEASES NAVY.
Unanimous Sentiment Against Playing on Franklin Field Under Old Con- ditions.

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 1.-Praetically the unanimous sentiment among those interested in the athletics of the U. s. Naval Academy is that the annual football game between the naval and military academies shall not be played again on Franklin field, the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, un- less the navy contingent is accorded a larger number of tickets.
 Philadelphia is regarded as the ideal location for the annual contest, and the courtesy of the authorities of the university in the use of grounds is much appreciated, but it is stated here that the imperative demands for tick cts cannot be met in the $500 assigned by the university.
 New York is regarded as out of the question. as it is entirely too far from Annapolis to permit the trip and re- turn in one day Washington is equal ly inaccessible from West Point.

RANKING OF THE
 FOOTBALL ELEVENS.
Places of Leading Teams from All Sea-
 sons Work.

Herbert, in the New York Tribune. says:
 In cases where the lines are far sep arated and where two elevens did not meet more than a single opponent in common, ith is even harder to draw q conclusion. Pennsylvania defeated Brown 20 to 0, and Brown defeated Yale 21 to 0, and yet Yale must be ranked above Pennsylvania, for the reason that, in my opinion, Yale played better football against Princeton and Harvard than Pennsylvania did in de- feating Cornell on Thursday by q score of 12 to s. The whole question, therefore, sir1ners down to the judg- ment and somewhat arbitrary opinions of individuals, and in my judgment and in my opinion the leading teams should be placed as follows:
 1. Harvard.
 2. Brown. 3. Yale.
 4 Pennsylvania.
 ,. Annapolis.
 6. Princeton.
 '. Dartmouth.
 B. West Point.
 g. Cornell

NO NEW INFORMATION
Department Apparently Has
Not Acted in Read Matter.
AGENT May Be SENT
Report Says Legal Representative
Will Come Here To investigate Re-
port-New Collectors Friends Con;
fident He Will Be Exonerated.

So tar as could be learned yester-
day no steps have yet been taken by
the treasury department TO invesu-
gate the charge that Fred Read. who
recently was appointed collector OF
customs at this port to succeed Cap
tain !. +. b. Stuart. attempted TO
influence members of the United
States grand jury in behalf of Harry
A. Morewitz, who vas indicted by
that Jury on the charge OF buying
smugglsd goods. An unconhrmed re-
port has it that legal representa-.
tive of the department will come here
to examine into the affair and make
a report 20 the department.
In the opinion of many. Mr.. Read
commission probably will be held up.
temporarily. at least. as the result OF
the reported action of Captain Stuart
in bringing to the attention OF the
treasury department the fact that the
newly named collector was investigat-
ed by the federal grand jury. How
ever. Mr.. Reads friends are confident
that g the matter is investigated the
department: will exonerate him. Mr..
Read had expected his commission
from the treasury department this
week and he had expected TO take
over the Office now held by Captain
Stuart not later than Saturday.
Several Newport News men who
we're with Mr.. Read in Norfolk say
that they heard what was said 10
Lane Lacy, onesof the grand jurors,
by The new collector They declare
that Mr. Read was being congratulate
ed by many of his friends on receiv-
ing the appointment as collector and
that MIR. Lacy joined the crowd. The
CONVERSATION turned TO the Morewitz
case ~ there were number OF New
port News men in the gathering and
Mr.. Read remarked to Mr.. Lacy that
he hoped Morewitz would get out OF
his trouble.
