AMAZING REPORTS or
 THE GENERAL FILM co.
On en investment of $fo,oo0 Profit
 of 1900 Per Gent in 1911.

Philadelphia. Dec. 11.-Amazing profits derived by teh General Film company were .recited by Edward F. Grosyenor, assistant attorney general in his Eosing argument today in the governments suit against the alleged moving picture trust in the United States district court here. He de- clared that in the first eighteen months of it's existence the General Film company expended more than a million dollars for independent ex- changes, more than a million more to manufacturers, producers and exhib- itors fin the combine and paid seven per cent in it's preferred stock and twelve per cent on the common to it's shareholders
 On an investment of $1o.00O each ten manufacturers made a profit of 1600 percent in 1911, he said, while it cost Lewis N. Swaab, an exchange deal- CT of tEAs city, $10 a minute for ten minutes, for departing from a reguia- ton in the license agreement relating to the time for release of f1eIms. Counsel for the defendants will sub init briefs and Judge Dickinson will announce his decision later.

New York, Dec. 114--When the In- fernational league baseball club own-- CTS wound up their annual session here late today they had not agreed upon a definite plan of transferring the league franchises from Jersey City and Balti- more to Syracuse. N. r., and Rich Inond. Va. This, the most important business of the session, had been dis cussed at length since the meeting be- gan last Monday
 While the sentiment of the club rep resentatives was in favor of the Syra- cuse and Richmond promoters secur- ing the franchises, none of the league officials would say positively that the transfers would be made. President Barrow said that the entire matter has nlittees, one for the Jersey City-Syra- clse deal and the other one to take care of the Baltimore Richmond transaction.
 President Barrow is on both commit tees. ]. J. McCaffrey of Toronto and Charles H. Chapin of Rochester will aid him in disposing of the Jersey City clubs affairs, while Joseph J. Lannin of Providence and Charles H. Ebbets, IT,, of Newark will assist in clearing up the Baltimore-Riehmond deall: These committees are to report back to a special meeting of the league which will be called during the second week of next January.
 That the league will continue it's eight club circuit is evidenced by the fact that a playing schedule of 140 games was announced for next season. During the last ten years this league has been playing 154 games and this, in the opinion of the majority of the club owners, made the season too long. The opening date for 1915 has been set for April 27.
 A radical change was made when the player limit for each club was re- duced today to Is, but nothing was done in reference to the salary limit, as it was considered that the reduc- ton in the number of players would tenn will be continued, as it has proved to be entirely satisfactory to all con- cerned.
 The election of a new executive com mittee was put off until the next meeting. but Joseph J. Lannin of Providence was added to the present committee, which, in addition to Pres ident Barrow, consists of McCaffrey, Chapin and Ebbets.
 None of the club managers had sign ed contracts for next year when the session ended tonight, but it was un- except in two clubs, and these are the ones involved in the proposed transfer of franchises.
 f Late tonight Manager McGraw of the New York National league club and Manager Moran of the PhiIadeI- -pf7ia Nationals had a conference with reference to a deal in which Catcher Charlie Dooin and Third Baseman Hans Lobert figured. No agreement was reached, but that something defi- mite regarding the deal may develop within a few days was inferred from remarks by both managers after they had talked the matter over for some time.

NO CUT IN RESERVES YET
Clearing House Won't Act Until
Reserve Banks Are Named.

The New York Clearing House does not
intend TO take any immediate steps look
ing 10 a reduction in the reserves OF the
member banks, It was stated yesterday,
despite the recent passage OF the Van
Tuyl banking bill. Action will be de-
layed, It was said, until the federal re-
serve organization committee announces
the location of the regional banks. But
as this announcement is expected soon
after April / a meeting Of the Clearing
House will probably shortly follow.
Frank NJ. Patterson. vice-chairman OF
the Van Tuyl Commission. said yesterday
that no "Jokers" got into any OF the
eleventh hour amendments TO the ne"
state banking law. and the changes that
were made are generally satisfactory. lie
referred particularly TO the amendment
to the reserve depository section 10 meet
the situation in Brooklyn, which pro-
vides that banks designated as reserve
repositories need have a capital and sur
plus Of only $4,000 until Brooklyn
reaches a population Of 100000.
Mr.. Patterson said that the most COM
mendable feature OF the new law was Its
provisionary character" He criticised
the old law In that the average banker
had 70 hire a lawyer TO understand it.
This serious objection. he declared, has
been completely eliminated In the Van
Tuyl measure.

came from commissions on selling copper

item was s4o6,O77. The 1913 dividend pay

A record amount Of copper was handled
by the Phelps-Dodge agency last year, the
total being 2o1.4s9,796 pounds. which was
sold at an average price Of 1881 cents net

Judging from the average stability OF
