MODERATE ACTIVITY. Tone of Market Not Particularly Good
 and Yet Not Bad.

New York, April 1s-The action of the stock market yesterday to many traders indicated 8 f1rmness and a. technical position favorable to better ment. A moderate degree of activity was shown at the opening, prices were generally lower and there were many bears ready to depress prices if given any encouragement Declines were ex- hibited in Amalgamated Copper, United States Steel, Union Pacific and Read ing The strong features were Cana dian Pacific and New York Central while St. Paul opened unchanged.
 The market relapsed into dullness after the opening, but there were some signs of support which helped the list in a majority of issues to improve. and at the close fractional gains were re- corded in mostly all the important issues, while in Lehigh Valley there Fridays final quotation. Some of the tndustrials which had been notably weak during several days continued to decline, especially California Petrole um, Rumely, and International Agri- cultural preferred, which stock on transactions invoicing 40 shares showed a loss of 31 points.
 The local market failed to make a brisk response to the continued better feeling abroad and the improvement in the London stock market, except as in dicated by the recoveries made in those issues that were inclined to weakness at the opening. It was not a market yesterday which offered much groundwork for making deductions re- garding it's improvement, and it's tone had to be assumed as good simply be- cause it was not bad. To say that the market was in a particularly strong position. in view of all the adverse conditions which for some time have been overhanging it and which have not been entirely removed, would be rather venIuresome yet there are some very important traders who believe that prices are dragging along the bot tom and that discouraging influences nearly all have been discounted.

Boston Pitchers All to the Good.

('I doubt if there Is any corps of pitchers in the country today that IS within 25 per cent. of being so well on edge as are the seven men of the BoS- ton pitching staff,' says Tim MQrnane. Joe Wood is in much better form than he ever started a season before. and from careful observation l would say he is stronger physically, knows more about pitching, is more satisfied with his surroundings and is determined to do the greatest pitching of his career Bedient seems to be starting out where he left off last year. Bedient is an intelligent pitcher who has made q fine study of the game and saves himself a great deal of trouble by using his brains. Possessing excellent skill, we all know Bedient also has the nerve. and nerve counts in the pitch CTS box more than in any other posi- tion O'Brien is working smoother than at any time last season, and is iii much better physical condition than for years.

New York, April 1s.-Rain and cold raised havoc with major league pre- arrangements for the opening week of in either organization played te its schedule. Of thirteen National league games scheduled only five were play ed. Of an even dozen dates, American league clubs were unable to keep their engagements on but seven occasions. Rarely has big 8 crop of doubles been sown thus early for summer har- vesting.
 TaiIenders Coming Strong.
 Aside from the weather centrari- ness the fine showing of last place clubs or ear-taiienderS of 1912 was the feature of play in the seasons early stages. With Boston in the Ma tional and St. Louis in the American league occupying first place positions, the standings of the clubs at the week end resembled last years tables turn ed topsyturvy.
 A glance over the list of National league games played shows the cham pion Giants minus a victory yet, the lively Boston under its new manager, George Sta1lings, having beaten the New Yorks in the opening day game. while the weather prevented another meeting of the clubs The Giants showing was disappointing to their followers, but the team has something or a nGD1J or losing opening day en- counters and their speed and general strength are expected to show later.
 The concededly strong ~Pittsburghs beat the Cincinnatis in the only game of the series played.

 Eddie Collins Shines
 In the American league, two pitched battles in Boston between the worlds champions, the Red SoX. and the Phil adelphia Athletics resulted in favor of Manager Connie Maclk's men. The poor showing of Wood and Bedient, two of the champions star boxmen in last falls games with the Giants, was a feature of the brief series. which also showed the Athletics famous star infieId working well, with Eddie Col lins as it's particular bright luminary. Neither CooInbs nor Bender of the Athletics boxmen displayed winning form, however, while Plank was as reliable as ever. The Rostons proved the same hard fighters. This was cas-

 Injuries te HishIanders.
 The fact that Washington won the opening game and the only one played with Frank Chances rejuvenaIed New Works, while it pleased supporters Of the Nationals. was far from discour- aging to followers of the H1ghlandefs. Injuries already have played havoc with the New York lineup, but the team, with the fighting spirit it seems to have developed under it's new lead CT, may be stronger than 1t has been generally figured. Perhaps no games will be awaited with more interest than the next few tussles in which this clup engages, in view of the former Cub managers switch to the American league and the apparently good start he has made toward putting losing team on it's feet.
