FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRICE LEVEL ADVANCED.
Buying Was to Cover Shorts Over the
Triple Holiday. {.

New York, Sept 1.-The demand fer
stocks was SUFFICIENT today to advance
the level of prices quite generally and
many of the active issues rose from
much smaller basis and the market
had more of a pre-holiday appearance
than on any other day since the tur-
moil which was brought about by the
heavy liquidation early in August.
Stocks were apparently in small sup
ply and advanced easily whenever a
moderate demand appeared The buy
ing reflected chiefly scattered cover
ing of shorts, due largely to the fact
that triple holiday was at hand.
Lehigh Valley, which was forced
down abruptly by heavy selling on re-
cent days, developed strength today.
Minneapolis and st. Louis added three
points to it's recent advance. In con-
nection with this movement a report,
which lacked official confirmation was
circulated to the effect that a project
was afoot to link the Hawley system
with Canadian road, thus forming a
new through route from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico and the southeastern
seaboard. Chesapeake & Ohio was
another strong point in the railroad
rations Of the regular dividend follow
ing reports of the possibility of re-
duction in the rate.
The government cotton report
showing a September condition below
the ten-year average, caused a tenn
porary setback in the stock market but
its influence in that quarter was not
pronounced The decline in percent
age in August of nearly sixteen points
is more than twice the decline for the
ten-year average during the final
month of the period of growth.
Trading in Standard Oil was brought
to halt on the curb" today by the
closing yesterday of the transfer books
of the corporation for dissolution pro-
ceedings in accordance with the de-
cree of the supreme court. 1t was i'm
possible to form an intelligent idea as
to the worth of Standard Oil of New
Jersey stock, Invested of it's subsidi-
aries. For the stock ex-subsidiaries''
$50 was bid and $50 offered.
Reported movements of currency
during the week indicate a cash loss
by the banks of $1,000. On account of
heavy transfers made today it is prob
able that the actual condition OF the
banks as reported in tonnorrows statex
ment will disclose larger loss. The
transfers included $4,000 900 to Chica-
go lin connection with the financing of
the merger of elevated roads there,
and 81 800, 900 to San Francisco.

MINOR FOOTBALL CHANGES.
Legislation for 1911 is Mainly on the
Forward Pass.

The new official football rules for
1911 present only a few minor changes
which simplify the Interpretation of
rules relating to the forward pass.
OF the three changes in the interpre-
tation of the forward pass, the first re-
lates to the penalty for an incompleted
or an illegal forward pass. The in
completed pass is one which hits the
ground before being touched by a
player of either side and an illegal
pass is one that is made from less
than five yards behind the line Of
scrimmage or one which is first touch
ed by a member of the attacking side
Heretofore penalties for violations
of this kind have been made from the
point where the pass was made. This
confused the officials and diverted their
attention often from the pass itself
The new Interpretation provides that
the penalties on the violations will he
measured from the spot where the ball
was put into play as marked by the
HneSman.
Another change relates to the pro-
lection of the player catching the for
ward pass. To insure safety on the
play the new rules provided that the
player catching the forward pass could
not be tackled. or interfered with until
he had taken one step after making
the catch. The past season. the rules
makers believe, showed that there was
no necessity for this rule, as the
chances for injury had been greatly
lessened. Officials found lit extremely
difficult to judge whether a player had
taken a step or not, SO under the re-
vised rule a player catching the for
ward pass may be tackled just the
same as a player catching a punt and
taking chance of running the ball
back.
The other change in relation to the
forward pass relates to the possession
of pass that has been fumbled after
which the ball strikes the ground. Last
season the ball remained in play aft.r
a forward pass was fumbled and Went
to the team that secured it. This tend
ed to make q rough and tumble Sera NJ

FINAL MEETING OF SEASON.
E. C. League Directors Clear Up All
Business--T aftviiIe Forfeits Care to
DayviIe.


The final meeting of the directors of
the Eastern Connecticut league was
held at Jewett City on Thursday eve
ming, and all the business of the sea-
son was cleared. The protested game
between Dayville and Taftville was
ordered played over by President Be
mott, on the ground that Umpire Riley
violated the playing rules, and told
conflicting stories regarding the game.
Manager Walker of Dayyille asked
that the decision be overruled, but the
directors upheld the decision of the
president.
Later the matter was cleared to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Walker by Man
ager Murphy FORGETTING the game to
Dayville, making them champions of
the league. 81
No evidence could be brought against
Moosup for playing a man under an
assumed name and the case was drop
ped.
Taftville and the Centrals of Nor
wich were allowed to cancel their
two postponed games of July 4.
The forfeit money was turned over
to the different managers of the re-
respective teams.
Norwich bulletin., 1911-09-02

BILE for the ball, and the rules makers
believe they have eliminated another
dangerous feature in changing the
rules SO that the ball is declared dead
after in case of d muff or tumble, the
ball shall be declared dead and the
play shall be regarded as an incon-
pleted forward pass, the attaching
team retaining the ball, except when
the tumble is made after third
down
The other change has to do with the
the first and second and the second and
third periods from three minutes 10
two minutes each. 1t is believed that
this is sufficient time for the players

Miss Stokes Wins Futurity at ReadyiI!e|
Heavy Track Marked First Day of Grand Crcuit-Ed
Geers Drives Peter Red Victory in 2.1e Trot-
McGraw's Giants Show Pennant-winnna Form
Athletics Cop Two at Boston.

Readville, Mass, Sept. 1. Miss
Stokes, owned and bred by W. E. d.
Stokes of New York, was a handy
winner of the American Horse Breed
ers' Futurity, valued at $1,000, of which
$4,000 goes to the first horse, at the
Grand Circuit meeting at Readville to-
day. 1t marked the opening of the
meet, rain having caused postpone
ments since Tuesday. The track was
heavy.
Justice Brooke, a prominent eandi-
date in the American Horse Breeders
Futurity, was withdrawn and shipped
to Kentucky for the 900 Futurity
there next month. In his absence the
chief rival of Miss Stokes was Peter
Thompson, who at Cleveland this sea-
son earned the title of champion trot-
ting gelding of the world for his age
by gaining a record of zoo
Miss Stokes appeared lame, but in
actual racing. she moved along smooth
~. Thompson broke at the quarter,
and Miss Stokes won by a dozen
lengths from Box.
Up to the fve-eights' pole in the
second heat Peter Thompson and Box
were head and head with Miss Stokes,
but Thompson again broke and Box
dropped back to the filly's Wheel Miss
Stokes winning by that margin.
In the two year old division of the
Breeders Futurity today the laurels
went 10 Princess IOuO, the property VI
Miss Katherine Wilks, of Calf, Onta-
rio. In the first heat she was pressed
by Junior Watts, but the second heat
she gathered in easily. Miss Dearest
logged home a winner in the pacing
division of the futurity.
The 2.16 trot was the best race of
of the day. Eva Tanguary, the New
York mare, barely gained the first
heat by a neck from Baron Aberdeen.
The second heat looked like dead
heat between Peter Red and Eva Tan
quay, but the judges saw Peter first.
Geers, driver of Peter Red. had speed
to spare in the two remaining heats.
The meeting closes tomorrow with
the classic Massachusetts and Blue
Hill stakes and the I'll pacing class.

mond for Pitcher Lazinsk.

Only Boat Yet Qualified as Cup De-
fender in International Races.

Huntington, Z. T., Sept. THE
showing made today in the second of
the series of elimination trials in
which American motor boats are being
picked as defenders of the Harms
worth cup, was disappointment to
the American enthusiasts. 1t was a
current opinion among followers of the

ing of the international races next
week will mainly be UP to the Dixie

flied as cup defender.
None of the four boats brought out
today made satisfactory showing.
The winners elapsed time was 10000,
