Early in the season of 1912 there
was every Indication that the year
would be one of deficient agricultural
results In practically all lines of eff
fort. Following a severe drought in
the fall OF 1911, which left the land in
bad condition generally throughout
the great central valleys, there was a
winter OF unusual severity, with just
enough freezing and thawing to cre-
ate an ice pack over practically all the
territory lying east Of the Missouri
river, and which resulted in unprece-
dented and sensational killing Of win
ter seeded grain as well as new clover
and timothy meadows. On April l.,
when the period Of crop growth really
began, later by weeks than usual,
there was every indication Of an un-
favorable season
From that date forward, however,
almost without exception, conditions
so changed that the season became re-
markabiy favorable for every char

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
cHEERIEsT DAY OF WEEK.
Trading Not Extensive but Largest
 Since Last Week.


 New York, Nov. 21.--In place of the drifting and indecisive tone of the stock market recently there was a def mite improvement today and prices rose easily in all quarters. The movement was a comprehensive one and the amount of trading, although still comparatively small, was the largest of the week. A long list of stocks, including leading railroad and industrial issues, as well as some of the less conspicuous shares, establish ed gains of one to three points.
 Several influences combined to give the market a more cheerful appear ance, At the opening, quotations were affected by the higher range of Ameri- cans in London, and small gains here were general. Announcement of the engagement of s750.000 gold for impor- tation from London, favorable railroad returns for October, optimistic trade reports and the prospects for conclus- ion of the Balkan war seemed to trad CTS to justify a more bullish position. The market continued to show a lack of settled purpose and during most of the afternoon session trading was at & low point, at prices slightly below the best. In the last hour there occurred the heaviest buying movement of the day, and the market closed strong at the best figures of the session.
 Although the drop in foreign ex- change rates, which yesterday fell to the lowest point since 1910, had indi- cated the possibility of gold imports, today's announcement came as a sur prise, since no engagements were looked for before Monday, when the weekly offering of South African gold will he nnada in london IT Woa ro ported that negotiations were under way for further gold engagements.
 Money rates held firm and the mar ket made no response to the bringing in of gold from abroad.
 The bond market was firm on & broader inquiry. Brooklyn Transit convertible fours were especially strong. Total sales, par value, $2,800,- 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Light Practice Today Armstrong ParkNo Crpples Yale Lneup-PumpeLy Kicks Goals From All Angles Tickets Selling at $20 and More.

New. Haven, Nev 21.-Yale> practi- cally completed its work for the an- nual game with Harvard this after noon by a. long signal drill and ten minutes scrimmage on Yale field this afternoon. All the players, with the exception of Bomeisler and Gallauer, took part in the scrimmage. Philbin
 made & touchdown after the varsity had steadily advanced the ball by open plays and line plugging. Flynn kicked goal.
 George Foster Sanford and Tom Shevlin followed the playing closely and instilled more snap in the team than has been seen this year. Trainer Johnny Mack reports tonight that the men are on edge for the game. and there are no criDples. Even Johnny Castles, who was hurt in scrimmage earlier in the week, got in the lineup today.
 PumpeIly in Wonderful Form. Pumpelly and Lefty Flynn were giv- en special drilling by Dr. Billy Bull on drop and place kicking. Pumpelly sent the ball between the uprights from almost every possible angle, with machine like regularity.
 The varsity players spent the night at the infirmary, away from the noise of the advance guard of the crowd that has already commenced to pour into New Haven. Tickets are scarcer than ever this year, and but very few are being offered by the specualtors. These, it is said, bring prices ranging from S20 and upwards.
 The Harvard backfield men and ends accompanied by a number of coaches, had several hours practice on the field this afternoon behind closed gates. The backs practised getting down the field under punts. Afater practice the men were taken for an
 automobile ride, before leaving for New London where the Harvard squad will remain, before leaving for the game here Saturday.
