second victory Of the season last night
when they walloped the Morrell Ave
The Commercial college aggregation
was defeated for the second time since
the league opened. The outcome Of the
games will change the positions the
different teams are holding in the club
by the Success Ave winning and the
Congregational boys losing their games
fifth place In the final standing of the
club. It is probable that this tie will be
played off at some later date.
The first mix Of the evening was the
best game OF the three, as the oppon-
ents were recognized as the two strong
est teams in the league. The Baraca
aggregation were the victors by the
score of 25 to 8. The teams were APP

The final game Of the evening was

their battle the necessity of winning

have been compelled to accept bottom
place for the final standing Of thu
league. Both aggregations were puttinl

roughness was not In evidence to any
extent. They played neck and neck
through the greater part of the game

WALL STREET HAS
CHEERFU Ill TONE
BETTER CONDITION OF AMER'
CANS ABROAD INFLUENCED
ropAY's STOCK MARKET.

New York, March 1.-THE covering
movement which assumed large pro-
portions in Wall Street yesterday was
carried further today. More cheerIu,
feeling in London was again Teeiecteo
in bidding up Of American stocks mere.
inflt enced the opening here. Many
stot IS were quoted from to points
abo e the weeks lowest. the traders
ope ated cautiously owing to. the en-
ten 'of the rise. The market became
dull and there was some scattered re-
ain hg which cut into the early ab-
sen.e so that by noon the list was about
midway between yesterdays closlls
were easy.
Higher prices for American stocks
+. in London influenced the opening here
and there was general advance. best
gains were made in the 1nternatlonal
stocks. Canadian Pacific led the ad-
vance with a rise of over points.
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific NORM,
ern Pacific, st. Paul. Reading, sLehlgn
Valley, Can Smelling and Amalgamated
rose point each.
Eagerness to market stock at the
initial prices caused an averaged set
back Of half point and trading be-
came sluggish.
Elimination Of a large part OF the
short interest left the market IN
lOIS NulACAdUAC pOSAtAOA Ia
sure and stocks were offered down
gradually without much opposition:
Union Pacific, Amalgamated and steer
yielded most easily and sugar dropped
8 points on It's unfavorable annual re-
port. Renewal Of liquidation in Good
rich, which fell five points to 80 u,
new low record, gave point to gossip OF
the sharp discrimination shown against
certain collateral in loans.
The market closed heavy. Reports
that negotiations were under way 10
ship 100000 more gold to Germany,
and that Berlin was bidding nine per
cent here for short time loans com.
plicated the local money situation ana
forced higher rates for all accommoda-
tons. Small loans touched SO, the
highest of the year. Pressure on stocks
relaxed to some extent In the closing
hour and there was marked diminution
in the volume of business. The general
sentiment, however, continued bear1sh
and there was little recovery from the
low.
Call money rose to SO which added
to the troubles of the bulls and accen-
tuated the decline already in progress.
Leading stocks converted their earlier
advances to to 2 points into losses OF
" to point or more. Union Pacific
ruled point below yesterdays closing
and Amalgamated 1M. Minor indus,
trials were very weak Goodrich feil
over points, the preferred stock 6h,
Woolworth 4 and Underwood 8.
