For quite few years the capitalists

To such an extent has this reached

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ERRATIc MOVEMENTS.
Decision in Hartman Merger Case
 Confuses Spectators.

New York, Dec 2.-The supreme courts decision in the Hartman mer- ger case upset the stock market today after a listlesS morning session. The announcement from Washington was followed by an outburst of selling with Union Pacific as the especial object of attack. There were large sales of Southern Pacific as well and virtually all of the favorite stocks, including industrials as well as railroads, shared in the movement. Union Pacific broke and Reading Steel, Amalgamated and other prominent shares a lesser amount.
 The market met with prompt sup port at the lower level and prices quickly rallied. The decision was un- expected to many persons and the first impulse was to sell, but on second thought there was a decided change in sentiment. Losses were largely made up and the Hartman issues scored their best figures of the day. Union Pacific preferred was bought heavily and at one time showed a gain of six and a half.
 The upward movement was attrib- uted to speculative buying on the the ory that the courts ruling would ne- cessitate a distribution of Union Pa cific's holdings of Southern Pacific. Some of the Hartman bond issues also advanced, in the belief that their retirement might be made necessary as a part of the adjustment which must now be made. Southern Pacific collateral fours at one period regis tered a gain of 1-2 points and Oregon Short Line fours of three points. The courts decision, however, opened up so many possibilities for speculation Das to the effects of the readjustment that the trading element was confused and movements of securities were er- ratio. Before the close the market became heavy again.
 The effect of the unfavorabIe bank statement of last Saturday was shown in the continued tension in the money market. Call loans rose steadily from an opening at ten per cent. until 16 per cent. was touched. Late in the day the rate fell back to six per cent. Engagement of large share of the South African gold offered in London today, by New York bankers, did not serve to quiet apprehensions as to the future course of money rates. Stocks were unaffected by money conditions, prices having held firm until the mar ket was upset by the announcement of the Hartman decision. The chief influence of high money rates was to reduce speculation on the stock ex- change to minimum.
 Some of the specialties developed marked strength in the early part of the day. Rubber rose to the high point touched in the movement last April and tobacco issues were buoy ant.
 Aside from the Hartman issues the general bond market was firm, though there was a shading in values in a few isolated cases. Total sales, par value, $2,500,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

BUSH DREW 11o PASSES.
Midget Established Record for Work ing Pitchers for Free Trips to Initial CaoL

Owen Bush of the Detroit Tigers must have a couple of regrets as he scans the records showing the num- Der of bases on balls received by the American league players last season. The midget drew more passes than anyone else-110 all told, three of which were of the casualty Rnd-but all he gets for transportation is hon. orable mention. One of his regrets Is that Hugh Chalmers, when he decided to have a competition among the American league players for car, did not offer the prize to the player who obtained the greatest number of pass es instead of to the player who was the most valuable to his team. Regret No. is that the scoring rules of 1912 as regards bases on balls are not the same as they were in 1887. Then when a player received his bases on balls he was not exempted from a time at bat, but he did get credit for making a base hit. Under the 1887 scoring rules Bush's batting average would have been .351.
 Bush undoubtedly established an American league record last season by obtaining no passes. In 1903 Fielder Jones of the Chicago White Sox pro- cured 102 complimentary tickets to first base from the pitchers-a record which held until this past season, when Eddie Collins equalled 1t and Bush sur passed 1t. All the passes that Connie Macks famous secapd sacker obtained in 1912 were of the regulation kind and not once did he get to first on g Red Cross complimentary.
 The third cieverest player in the American league last season in work ing the twIrlers for gifts was Maurice Rath of Chicago, who garnered s9 Shotten of St. Louis ranked fourth with 94, and Iris Speaker of Boston who won the Chalmers trophy, was fifth with S1.

PROBABLE CHANGE
 IN YALE COACHIN
Former Stars DispIeased With Showing
 of Past Year.

There has been a great dead of dis There has been a great deal of dis Yale graduates who show their inter est in the Blue football team by com ing back to New Haven each year to try to help the younger coaches turn out teams able to meet Harvard and Princeton.
 It >is the opinion of most of the old stars that the present system of change must be made next year. The principal complaint of the older and more experienced men is that any system which allows a youngster just , graduated from college to take sole command of the team and refuse to listen to the advice of others is wrong and should not be allowed to hold its place at Yale.
 One of the veterans on his return from the game to New York expressed the feeling of many when he made an attack on the present system. He wound up by saying: How can team make good when it Is deprived of the services of such a man as Wal ter Camp? I know that this man, who has done so much for Yale in the foot ball field, has not been consulted by the coaches during the entire season.
 
 conclusions"
 There was a feeling among many former Yale stars that the team could not win against Harvard, and one of the most famous players that ever wore the Blue actually paid his bets before going to the game, giving as his reason lack of confidence in the team; that it did not know the rudiments of football, and that after the showing made against Princeton nobody but the most rabid partisan could think Yale victory possible
 It Is assured that the present system of coaching will not be continued. Sew eral plans have been discussed, but nothing definite has been done. In the end the advice of the older men will be listened to, and then the youngsters will be invited to help in the work. But they will not control the situation to such an extent that men who have developed winning teams in the past will be forced to stand on the side lines dhd watch good material being wasted.

EGG PRODUCTION JUMPS.
Good Showing at Storrs-Promising Leghorns from CaIifornia-Bia Scores by English Hens.

The total number of eggs laid dur ing the third week of the second in- ternattonal contest at Storrs was 474. l59 more than during the same period last year. AS is seen, the egg produc- ton IS increasing remarkably, there be- ing gain of IS eggs over the previous week. At present about 150 hens are laying, representing 75 pens. Unless there is an unusually cold winter the yield will no doubt increase week by week from, now until extreme hot weather of next summer The Leg horns scores may be expected to drop off little as they did for a couple of weeks last year
 There were two pens that tied for first place for the past week, each pen laying A eggs, which is remarkable for this time of year. They were a pen of single comb white Leghorns owned by Tom Baron of Catforth. Eng, and a pen of single comb white Leghorns owned by Ed Cain of HoughtOn. Eng. The pen that stood second for the week was a pen of single comb white Leghorns owned by Smith Bros. of Ad- dingham, Pa. This pen laid 21 eggs. Next was a pen of white Orpingtons from White Acres poultry ranch of Three Twins Pa. This pen, with but four birds laying, made a record of 19 eggs for the week.
 There were two pens that had a score of 17 eggs for the week: Single comb white Leghorns of O. A. Foster of Santa Cruz, Cal. and white Wyan- dottes of Ed Cain of Houghton, Eng. This pen of Leghorns from California cannot be passed by without mention ing the fact that they travelled several thousand miles in order to reach Storrs, arriving two weeks late, and the first week that they were on the plant they laid IT eggs. It only shows what persistent egg producing powers these birds have. and they may be looked for among the leading pens before long.
 The following is a list of the five leading pens as they stand at the end of the third week:
 Tom Baron of Catforth, Eng. single comb white Leghorns; SO; Smith Bros. of Nottingham, Pa., single comb white Leghorns, 51; Ed Cain of Houghton, Eng, single comb white Leghorns, A; White Acres poultry ranch, Three Twins, Pa, white Orpingtons, fl; Braeside poultry farm, Stroudsburg, Pa, single comb white Leghorns, 30.
