FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ROCK ISLAND AT g s-s.
New Low Record Reached by Railroad
 Stock Yesterday.

Now York. TeD. 19-Speeuletive ae- tivity diminished today, and except In & feW isolated cases movements were unimportant. The market improved slowly in the morning, but subsequent- ly drifted back again. The days bus mess was about half of that transact ed in the preceding session.
 The morning advance was influenced by the statement of Commissioner Harlan of the interstate commerce. commission that 8. decision would be made in the freight rate cases within the next three months. Speculative Q opinion incliDes strongly to the beheI that some increase will be granted Thers was 8 good inquiry for the stan dard railroad shares and also for the stocks of steel companies and affiliat- ed industries which are expected to benefit from a more liberal buying policy on the part of the carriers if they are permitted to raise their rates. The extent to which the speculative position fs bound up in the freight rate cases is shown by the weeks move ment of stocks. Mondays sharp de- cline and yesterdays confused fuctua- tfons were due almost entirely to Washington reports concerning vary ing phases of the question. and today it was again the upDernost conS1deFa- tion in influencing the market.
 The afternoon reaction was due more to the cessation of buying than to pressure on the list. Weakness of va rious stocks also held back the gen eraI market, Rock Island preferred made f. new low record at 5-S. J. l, Case preferred fell four points to S2. after announcement of new financing by the company. Last week it closed at ga 1-2, Chino and the beet sugar issues were under pressure.

FEDERALS' OFFER
He Will Meet Tinker in Kansas City, Where They Will Come to Terms.

Tom Seaton of Hotchkiss, Col, star pitehe. of the Philadelphia Nationals, will likely sign with the Federal league this week. Seaton and his wife were in Denver recently. They were en route to Kansas City, where Seaton has an appointment with Joe Tinker It is. very probable that Seaton will be a member of one of the Fed teams.
 Seaton has an offer from the Feds of $7,S00 year. $7.60O bonus for sign ing, and a three-year contract. Baker has offered him 50 per cent. increase in salary over last year, a two-year contract, and @ bonus on the number of games won
 It is this latter clause that leans Seaton to the Federals. Seaton wrote Baker and asked for more definite clause on the number of games won. Baker replied that Seaton was to pitch S6 ga heS during the season and win 50 per cent. of these, which would be 21 games, Seaton is inclined to think that the clause is not definite enough, and inasmUch as the lFederals seem to be in to stay. and the salary inducements are much better it is very likely that he and Tinker will come to terms and a contract signed within the next three days.

EXPECTS TO BE WITH ATHLETICS
Captain Danny Murphy Believes His Contract Will Soon Be Signed With the Worlds Champions For Season of 1914 Denies Providence Report That Connie Does Not Want Him.

According to a Providence paper, which quoted sS%e of Captain Danny Murphy's friends in O1neyvil1e, Man ager Connie Mack had decided to part company with the captain of the worlds champions, but the captain himself denied on Thursday that there was any such likelihood, and said thst in fact he was in communication with Connie Mack and had just written to him and that he expected to be signed up with the Philadelphia Athletics within a few days in his old position as captain.
 The Providence supposition, which contained some other transformation regarding the length of time Captain Danny has been with the Athletics, was as follows:
 Danny Murphy, the former O1ney- vile boy. who has been playing ball with the Philadelphia Athletics for the past six years and for part of the time captain of the world champions, has been handed a pink slip by Connie Mack. according to word received in this city by friends of the ball tosser.
 Murphy was a great favorite in the Quaker City, and on many occasions he has been given testimonials by his friends in that town. He injured his knee about two years ago and has not been playing the game very regularly since that time.
 Mack used Danny for time last season, and the local lad showed that he still had his batting eye with him, yielding the willow for an average of over 300. While Danny's days as player are known to be numbered, it was thought that Mack would hold him for a pinch hitter and to use for schooling young players. For this req son many of his friends in this city make light of the story that he has been released and say they expect to see him wearing an Athletic uniform next season.

BIRDIE CREE RELEASED.
His Arm Was Injured Last Season. Goes to Baltimore tnternationaIs.

New York. Feb. 1s.-Bird7e Cree, who was for several years one of the hard est hitting ortfeiders in the major leagues, but who last season fell off in his batting, was released by ths New York Americans today to the Bal timore club of The International league. In the latter part of 1912 he injured his throwing arm.
 Manager Frank Chance, before let ting Cree go to the minors. tried to trade him, but none of the other ma for leaue teams put in a claim for his services. It was reported recently that he had received handsome offer from the Federals.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 MEETS SATURDAY. Adjourned Meeting of the Board of Directors Will Be Held at Cincinnati.

The National league will have an ironing day in Cincinnati at the Sinton hotel on Saturday. Governor Tener has called an adjourned session. of the .eague and an adjourned meet ing" of the board of directors.
 A few days ago the governor re marked that there were certain angles of the Flyers case to be "ironed out" 1" and undoubtedly the meetings have been called for the purpose of per forming this work. From present in dications the iron will probably pass over the prostrate form of Charles Webb Murphy. president of the Chi cago Cubs.
 One significant fact about the two meetings Is that Cincinnati has been chosen as the place of assembly. It is the home of Charles P. Taft, who holds a controlling interest in the Cubs, and there is a strong probability that the meeting was called in the Ohio city in order to bring the delinquencies of Murphy more closely home.
 If the National league owners can convince MT. Taft that Chubby Charlie Is endangering the financial success of a valuable piece of base ball property, it will not be necessary to build a new league or do any of the extraordinary and nonsensical things which have been suggested in order to remove Murphy from organized base ball.
