Coal in Demand.

The British strnke has resulted in
quickening of all the coal properties
me soft coalers are selling extra coal
ana the anthracite companies are finding
tnelr market active as a result of extra
strike.
Pittshurg reported a stronger tone in
the street market and some slight ad-
Sances In prices are expected. Sears
hoeouck also gave evidence of the i'm
proyement OF business by reporting sales
OF 81 2o3. 156 for February. compared with
sales OF s6.4s3,S43 last year,
81. Paul made a report for January
tnlly as bad as anybody expected. II Is
apparent that the big people in st. Paul
lquldated on the rise above 160 and
down to 10, so that now they are in
position to take stock around these levels
in authorization OF the time, TWO or three
years hence, when it will be earning its
dividends.
Much OF the improvement in the stock
market is due to the passing of the money
trust investigation as a serious proposi-
ton. 1t Is finally realized that tho move
ment is purely political and the caro-
being exercised to select counsel able TO
uncover the bad spots commends itself
10 the street II must be remembered
however. that even tmid counsel Is often
forced by perversc witnesses TO bring
out damaging things.

Steel Trust Rumor.

Reports OF plan to settle the steel
trust dissolution suit without going to
trial persisted. although 1t was officially
denied, Such reports would naturally be
denied up TO the time that an agree
ment was reached. Many bankers seem
TO believe there Is substantial basis for
the report OF an early settlement, They
base their belief on the fact that the
trust was willing TO make a readjust-
mept even before the suit WAS filed. Po-
lltical exizepcies make settlement even
more desirable now. 1t would strengthen
Taft by showing something ACCOMPLISHED
II would help the trust by making 1t
less conspicuous and thus lessening the

an assist, even il he gets the put
out at the conclusion of the play But
a fielder cannot be given two assists
on one play, no matter how many
times he may handle the ball in the
course of the rundown.
Players in the field, especially pitch
ers. often get assists without putting
their hands on the ball. In the case
of a batted ball every man who
touches the ball at all in any way
is given an assist il the play finally
results in a putout Quite frequently
ball is hit sharply through the box
and the pitcher just touches it with
tips of his fingers while the short
throws the batter out at first. The
as if he had handled the ball Clearly.
Even if the ball hits him on the foot
or any other part of his anatomy
without touching his hands at all. he
gets an assist provided the play ends
in a putout The torzI number of as
sists made by players, especially in
fielders, is a far better test of ability
than their fielding average. When a
player has a large number Of assists
it shows that he is covering a great
deal of ground and is better man
than player who may have fewer
errors, but is not getting to the ball
so frequently. In looking over rec
ords of shortstops and second basemen
equal number of games played is an
excellent criterion of the value of
the player to his team
