Bears Take Advantage of the
New Haven Slump and

Market Forced to Absorb Large
Amount of Offerings, But Shows
Marked Firmness.

NEW YORK, December 11.-With the
exception OF New Haven. which broke AZ
points TO 6s at the opening today, the
stock market was fairly steady. Passing
of the New Haven dividend resulted In
large trading in the stock, which opened
with a block of 5,O0O shares at 63h to 6S.

The next sale was at 6s5s and then fol-
lowed further recovery to 631:.

Ensuing declines forced the list down
TO yesterdays close with bear spectators
active in hammering American Tele-
phone, Pennsylvania and New Haven.
The latter went to 67A.
Prices Drop Sharply.
Attempts to sustain quotations in the
face of drastic liquidation of special
issues were unavailing and after an early
Improvement prices dropped sharply all
around. Influence of the omission of the
New Haven dividend increased rather
than diminished as the session advanced
and there was more pronounced ten
dency TO reduce holdings of both invest
nent and speculative stocks.
New Haven made an extreme drop OF

points and American Telephone pa, both
issues falling under their low records for
a number of years.
Reports from Washington that the
President considering the ad-
telephone lines accounted for the weak
ness of the telephone shares.
Speculation Slows Down.
Liquidation was in smaller volume
toward the end Of the morning session,
but the market was forced to absorb
a large amount of speculative holdings
of long stock, and prices were de-
pressed from a fraction to several
points
Bonds were easy.
Speculation slowed down when prices
began TO mend after midday. New
Haven, Pennsylvania, Reading, Union
Pacific and Amalgamated rebounded a
point each.
Dizziness having become oppressive,
traders bought in an experimental way
to ascertain whether any supply Of
stocks was overhanging the market.
Prices were pushed up TO near the high
levels without encountering opposition.

New York, Oct. 7.-Batteries-
Bender and Schang; Mathewson
and Meyers! Before the start of the
first game of the worlds series today
every follower of the game from the
small boy who hung to telegraph
pole two blocks from the polo grounds
to the railroad magnate who occupied
a box behind the bat, believed this
would be the announcement barked
from the seasoned throat of an UNI
pire. In Bender and Wathewson, Con-
ME Mack and "Jawn" McGraw have
two pitchers who have been tried
through long, hard fought pennalt
races, pushed to the limit in the final
round-ups of heart-breaking world S
series and not found wanting.
Plank and Bender are the only sur
vivors Of the Athletic team which
faced the Giants under McGraw II
1905. Mathewson is the only member
of the McGraw machine which won
the worlds title in that year. But
these three stood out today as the
real big factors in the series. Bender,
cool, deliberate, cunning and master
of the game; Mathewson, quiet and
equally as cool, deep student of the
game, and man who works with his
head as we'll as his arm-there you
have the two men who were early to-
day picked to open the big doings.
Missing from Connie Mack's array
of players was Jack Coombs, although
he is eligible and will share in the
profits. The best Coombs can do Is
to watch the game from the grand
stand unled old Fox Mack has passed
out the greatest bluff known to man
and intends to spring Iron Man
Coombs on the unsuspecting Giants
as killer" But Mack has Houck,
Brown and Shawkey, young pitchers
ready to step in. McGraw has De-
maree and Tesreau to follow Math-
ewson and Marquard, who, it was ex-
pected, will pitch tomorrow's game 4t
Philadelphia.
The Giant hackers rely much on the
pitching staff of New York to win the
series. But they have not forgotten
j. Franklin Baker, he of the home
run bat. And they also remember
that the Giants have been in the
throes of a batting slump for the past
six weeks. But can the Giants firing
squad stop Baker, Collins, McInnis,
Barry and the rest? Everyone today
