BRADSTREETS' REVIEW
OF TRADECONDITIONS

New York, Dec. 4.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row Will say:
Financial recuperation and symptoms
make for improved basic conditions Il
the future, but irregularity still is the
distinguishing feature in trade and In
dustry, and a very plainly marked line
of divergence is visible between export
and purely domestic trade movements.
The resumption of bond dealings at New
York and in stocks and bonds on outside
markets, the reopening of the call money
market, the growing ease of money. re-
fiected in that market and in the market
for commercial paper, are all evidences
of progress and point to possible early
restoration OF complete financial and
credit machinery. Grain exports furnish
sources of marked activity. Demand for
American products to be used by the
troops in the field is in turn reflected in
favored industries and many lines are re-
ported busily employed thereon.
Business failures for the United States
for the week were AS, which compares
with 3S9 last week and $50 in the like
week of 1918. Business failures in Can
ada for the week number Sc, against 104
last week and 81 In the corresponding
week of last year.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 4.-Investment condi-
lions were more promising today. This
was demonstrated by the ready sale of
the S12, 100000 worth of Canadian Pacific
Railway A IL per cent. trust certificates
offered by a banking syndicate. There
was also further extension of the in
quiry for various short term notes, in
Guiding New York City IS, which re-
tanned their recent advantage.
Monetary conditions were again a pro-
nounced factor, the relaxation of rates
on 60-day loans being most apparent.
There was an even larger supply of call
money at liz per cent. and most time
renewals were reduced TO per cent,
TINS figure being scaled on prime collat-
eral This phase of the financial situa-
ton gave rise to renewed rumors of
foreign loans by our bankers, as well as
the probability of considerable home fl
nancing.
OF Improvement, were seen in the lists
of stock prices issued by the exchange
Peoples Gas of Chicago gained two
points and st. Paul l Ia with fractional
advances in Pennsylvania and Union Pa
cific. Trading in bonds was marked by
more narrowness and smaller offerings,
with an irregular mixture of gains and
losses. the latter being more pronounced
in relatively unknown issues. Gains en-
tended generally from one to four points.
One of the largest railroads placed an
order for rails. Other contracts for like
materials are said to be pending. Pitts
burg and other steel eenters reported an
increase of operations and the textile
markets also made an improved showing
on increased jobbing demand.

Mir. Ward stated that Marquard
had signed the Brooklyn Federal
League contract in triplicate, in addi-
ton TO making an affidavit that he
was a free agent in a baseball sense
and had received and receipted for an
advance payment under his Federal
League contract.
Secretary John B. Foster of the New

questioned regarding Marquard's sta

was under contract to the New York
Giants in series of three interlocking
contracts which covered his playing
services for 1915 and 1916 and gave
the New York club an option on his
services in 1917. Still another contract
gave the New York club special rights
in regard to Marquard's playing SER
vices and was drawn with the idea of
covering any loopholes which might
exist in the other contracts.

U. OF P. FOOTBALL
SITUATION MIXED


Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-The unusual
action of the majority of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football players
in voting against the retention OF
George H. Brooks as head coach next
year and the stand taken by nearly ali
of the Freshmen team in expressing
their utmost confidence in him, has
complicated the athletic situation at
the university to such an extent that
no one will venture prediction as to
what is in store for the football squad
next year.
The turn Of affairs will be consid-
cred next week when the new football
committee will be appointed after the
annual meeting Of the athletic asso-
citation. Coach Brooke's contract has
one wear to run. He has stated that he
will hold the athletic association to
his contract as he does not want to
quit as loser.
