BIG BASEBALL DEAL.
McAIeer and McRoy Sell Out Their
 Stock in Red Sox.

A big baseball deal. involving the sale of half the stock in the Boston Red Sox for more than $220.O00 was clinched when Joseph Lanndn, propr1- etor of the Garden City. l.. l., hotel and a Long Island real estate man, ob- tained the shares held by President James R. MoAleer, Secretary Robert McRoy and former Manager Jake Stahl. The formal transfer of the stock will be effected on December 10, and new officers of the club will be elected. General Charles H. Taylor and his son, John I. Taylor, who own the other half of the clubs stock will remain in baseball. and it is believed that John l. Taylor will be elected pres1- dent. the office he held until that fall of 9111.
 Ban Johnson, president of the Amer ican league, visited Boston to consult with the Taylors, who were anxious to buy the McAleer- -McRoy -Stahl hold ings themselves. The Taylors origin ally owned the Red Sox entirely, but they sold half the stock to McAleer, McRoy and StahI for S170.000 in the winter of 1911-12. McAleer was elect ed president and Stahl was appointed manager, a combination that worked i'll such harmony that the Red Sox won the American league pennant and the worlds championship a year ago this fall Incidentally the club made s4OO. 900 on the year.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SPECULATIVE MOVEMENT.
Substantial Rises of Morning Sealed
 Down by Profit T akins.

New York, Dec. 2-More business was done In the first hour of today's stock market than during yesterdays s entire session. All during the forenoon the market led by the coalers, display ed degree of strength and activity such as has not been seen often of late Some of the faVorite stocks, especially those in which a large short interest had been built up. were purchased in large blocks, and theEe was a substan- tfal rise in prices which embraced most of the representative shares Tn the afternoon trading became quiet and gains were sealed down by proft-tak- ing.
 The technical position of the market was favorable to rise, and indications recently that liquidation had been com pleted induced traders to work more confidently today on the long side The success of their efforts drove the shorts to cover and brought in some outside buying orders. Boston houses, in par ticular. figured in the dealings, buying largely of Steel and Amahgamated. Many traders regarded the movement aS purely speculative The manner in which the demand fell off in the after noon supported this theory
 There was no important change in conditions to explain increased activity on the long side. Additional railroad reports for October were received. showing large decreases in earnings The November record of business fai1- ures disclosed an increase in number and liabilities. This market was call cd upon to absorb moderate offerings for London account. President Will sons message to congress was read after the vigorous upward movement of the day had come to an end, and the market made little response to it, although the tendency thereafter was steadily downward Wall streets in- terest in the message as a market fac tor was lessened by the fact that dis cussion of the trust question was re- served for a subsequent time.
 The bond market was firm. Total sales, par value, s1,521, ,000. United States bonds were unchanged On call.
