FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
WAR NEWS DEPRESSING.
Substantial Rises of Opening Wiped
 Out Before Midday.

New York, Oct s0.-The shadow of war hung over the financial horizon again today. All foreign markets were unsettled after an early period of moderate optimism, due to reports that two of the leading European powers had arrived at an amicahle under standing regarding the conflict in the Balkans.
 London's early tone was one of cheer fulness and buying orders from the continent and absence of further liqui- dating in Canadian Pacific That stock rose over four points abroad and al- most the entire American group closed strong.
 As result of this apparent improve ment our market opened with a gen. eral substantial rise, Canadian Pacific gaining over three points. with one point gains in Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Valley, United States Steel, Amalgamated and Amer ican Smelling. Before the end of the first hour persistent selling had wiped out most of the advance, and at mid day, when the selling became more ex tensive and wider in scope, it was ut terly effaced. with some issues sell ing under yesterdays low.
 By that time news from Europe had again assumed an alarming tone. and there were signs that the foreign mar kets were once more under a severe strain. Short selling, especially in Steel, and presumably based upon yesterdays financial statement, was a faotor Of the declining movement, which was checked in the final hour More or less complete recoveries were then record ed, regardless of a rise to per cent. in call loans, the rally continuing to the firm but dull close and with num- erous net gains.
 The one important railway return was that of the Reading system, which showed net gains for both it's lines and coal company, the mhole totalling Ss16,- 900 and surplus increase of $8o0, ,O00

DIRECT PASS SHOWS UP PLAY. Quarterback System the Best, Declares
 Hamilton Fisk, Jr.

Hamilton Fisk, Jr., the one-tiIne ia nous Harvard football player, in speaking about the changes and new rules, says: Tn one particular the new rules point to a reversion to the old school theory of attack. The ad- dition of one mere down makes it highly probable that the offsensive team. as soon as 1t gains possession of the ball, will attempt, for two downs at least. to rush. A premium has been placed upon continued possession of the ball, and luck. which played such a large part in the games last year, has been materially abolished.
 Straight football will be more ix evidence this year; consequently more attention than ever will be paid to the development of a swift attack Now that pushing and pulling have been abolished, it becomes increasingly i'm portant that the backs get to the opening before the defense has time to size up the play There are many devices for speeding up the attack One is the starting signal; another. not much practiced, Is having the back field watch the center's wrists before the ball is put in play. It is possible the wrists before the ball is passed, just when it is coming, so that the backs can start with the ball and not shade of a second after it, as so many back fields do today.
 The direct pass from center to halfback, used considerably at Yale. is another device for increasing the speed of a play. In reality the direct pass shows up a play. The speed of play depends upon the amount of time the runner takes to get to hit the line. Anything which prevents the runner from concentrating his whole atten- tion upon this essential is bad. The direct pass is bad in this respect be- cause, instead of removing all respon- sibillty from the runner by permit ting the quarterback to feed the ball to him, the runner must think of get ting the ball before he gets to the hole and if the direct pass Is in the slight est degree untrue hesitation on the part of the runner results. and the speed of the play is negatived
 The only sound, sure and swift manner of feeding the ball to the back is through the medium of the quarter With the return to straight football will come the sustained attack It is likely that we shall more goal line marches" this year. While the offensive team starts on it's march down the field it will be good policy to wear down the defense by the use of a highly diversified attack. Speed not only in the execution of the plays but in the rapidity with which the plays follow one another will be in evidence. The defense must not be given time to guess the psychology of the attack, and in proportion as the distance to the goal line diminishes the speed of the attack should increase"

PROTEST FROM DEALERS
Committee From Retail Merchants
Meet Committee on Light
Last Night.

At a recent meeting of the Refill
Merchants Association of this city,
attention was called to the fact that
the city was selling gas stoves to citl-
zens at actual cost and giving pu--
chasers a year in which to pay for
the same in monthly instalments. The
association seriously objected to this
procedure, alleging that the members
were compelled to pay license taxes
to the corporation and that the latter
should not enter competition with ci'y
merchants under such circumstance.
1t was determined to take action in
the matter, andl last night r. Il.
Knight, president of the association,
and j. T. Preston, secretary, appeared
before the committee on light of tic
City Council and formally entered
their protest against the city engage
ing in the gas stove business.
The committee on light, after lis
tening to the objections, told Mess"S.
Knight and Preston that the stoves
were being disposed according to or
ders given by the City Council, and
that the retail merchants must seTd
petition to that body if they had
complaints to make.
