FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
FOREIGN AFFAlRs HELD MARKET.
Exchange on London Recorded a Point
 on Low Record.

New York. Feb 16.-Foreign affairs again held Wall Streets attention to- day, almost to the exclusion of the stock market itself. Another sharp de- cline in exchange on London was followed by an engag cement of a small amount of gold by a local banking house, the metal coming from Ottawa Receipt of a small shipment of gold coin from London for transfer to Cuba bore lightly upon the exchange situa- tion. Later in the day the rate for renIittances to London became more normal, recovering to 8 point well above the low quotations of the morn ing.
 Another aspect of the financial sit uation was the heavy trading in bonds for future delivery. Brokers were almost unanimous in the belief that this denoted further European liquidation of our securities, mainly for German account. It seemed to be accepted as a fact that several ships soon at this port would bring in a quantity of stocks and bonds which have been dis posed of in this manner.
 Stocks rose and fell in halting man ner, leading issues being comparatively neglected for the manop ulative spec ialtieS, these moving in contrary fashion. For example, Mexican Pe- troleum added over three points to it's recent decline making a total of almost s points in two days. Pittsburgh Coal preferred rose 5 points in connection with the proposed sale of it's properties which was expected to rebound to the advantage of the shareholders.
 Changes elsewhere were mostly nom inal, except for isolated issues like Montana Power, Texas Company and the Oil and motor stocks. F'aNorites including United States Steel and the international list were under frequent pressure, Union Pacific and Penn sylvan1a, exhibiting minimum was re- duced from 49 to 47 and that of South ern Railway preferred from 90 to 4S.
 Time money was not quotably all tered, but supply was so large as to cause some large lenders to withdraw from the market. The recent Russian credit of S25,o00, 900 had absorbed some of the inactive supply
 For the most part bonds were lower, the new Pennsylvania 1-2S being the most conspicious exception. Total sales, par value. amounted to S2,62S, 00O
 United Sta&es coupon S's and regis tered Es advanced 1-4 per cent. on call.

PREDICTS RAISE IN

clares It Will Be a Result of the Baseball War

That one result of the existing war between the Federal league and organ ized baseball will result in a raise n prices of admission from 50 cents 1T a dollar to an average price of g was the prediction of Joseph 4. Lannin of the Red SoX when he was addressing the students and alumni of Boston col Iege at their annual home night.
 Mir. Iannin said: We have always believed that the option clause in our contracts was binding to a player. The Federal league has stepped in and de claress that it does not bind Us in any way and has entered suit to recover some of the men that they claim we have taken from them. Their motto is Rule or Ruin
 Already they have spent more than $1 900, 900 and one man alone dropped $50, ,000. No sane business man can af-

the Tigers. but also for it's relation to the clashes with the Harvard aggre- gation. A victory for Eli means more at this point of the season than would otherwise be the case.
 Yale defeated Princeton in the first of the series in New York Jan. 2 by a 3-1 score due in no small measure to the wonderful work of Sweeney as rover and York as goal tender. Three days later, however, Yale received it's first real setback when Harvard downed the Blue to ? in Boston.
 Now if Princeton wins tonight Yale will be forced to go to New York Sat urday night and play off a tie. and there is no question but what it would be a tough and nerve wracking game. Tuesday night the Harvard team is due in New Haven to play Yale, and ii is certain if Yale came out of the game in New York without any injuries the men would be pretty well used up and far from shape to play their best against Harvard.
 And Yale wants to beat Harvard one may gamble on that. Should the Crimson win in that second game, the series would be over and the Yale hockey season would be closed In th event of 9, Yale victory, however, the two seVens would meet at New Haven again on the 27tll of this month Sizing up all these angles, il must be appar- ent to the fans that Yale will bend every energy to VIII over IIAuteJo1 tonight. If Captain Sweeney and his men are successful, then there will be nearly a week in which to prepare for the big game with Harvard
 Coach Tom Howard has stated that the present lineup of the Yale team is about the best that can he marshaled and there will be no radical changes. As long as the men keep in shape Howard will not kick and given an even break on tuck. he figures the Blue the champion college aggregation on the ire

JOHNSON NOT uNsEATABLE.
J. ]. Corbett Declares Jack Johnson
 Not 3 World Bsater.

Without trying to vvedre in any way to boost Jess Willards chances in the coming battle-for on the dope they look mighty slim-the fact should not be forgotten that the eX- cowboy is not facing a world beater in Jack Johnson, says James J. Cor betr. former heavyweight titltholder, however. the impression seems to prevail that Johnson is unbeatable. continues Corbett. though if anyone will take the time to figure out just what Johnson has accomplished dur ing his entire career he will quickly arrive at a conclusion that so far the big smoke has not beaten a. real first class man-at leats a. good man in his prime.
 Johnson and Willard are nnached to go forty-tw rounds. Unless Johnson, and he has never yet won a battle in jig time. cops Jess early in the melee, the Kansas chances will be growing greater with every clanS or the gong signifying a, round is over. F'orty-f1ve rounds are consider able fighting these days. If Willard can get through, say a dozen rounds. without being badly hurt, the fight

Soccer Football Association Officers
 Fail to Agree Policy.

An important change in the execu- tive force of the United States Foot ball association, which controls soccer in this country, took place at meet ing of the United States Football as sOciaticn council, held at the Broad E-sy Central hotel, New York. Satur- day night, when the resignation of Dr. c. Randolph Manning of New York Rs president was accepted. It was made known that the resignation was due to a difference of opinion as to the wisdom of extending the privilege of direct representation in the coun- cil to 8 special class of organizations, S,ch as country and field clubs and Y. N. c. As when these formed associ- eticns Of their own with national scopt. Dr. Manning was behind this idea but could not bring l2.ls asso- ciates into line, the attitude of the ma soTltv of the latter being that such clubs should pot be privileged, but get their representat1o in the or 6inary way through local and state organizations.

FEDERAL LEAGUE TEAM
 IN W. E. ABANDONED,
New England Magnates Came to the Conclusion That They Would Be Un- able to Back Their Clubs.

Baltimore. Feb. 16.-Jsmes \. Gill more, president of the Federal league, who passed through Baltimore on his way to Pinehurst, N. C., announced that the proposition to place a minor league in New England had been tenn porarily abandoned
 He explained that he had received a report from his leagues New England representative just as he was leaving New York and that on the way to Baltimore he had considered it.
 At the meeting held in New Haven several weeks ago Gilmore said he told the New England club owners that the Federals would be willing to furnish better ball players than the people on the proposed circuit had been accus- toned to seeing and that the league would agree to pay 50 or 50 per cent. of the salaries of these men. but that the New England club owners would have to finance their own teams.
 Since that meeting, Gilmore stated, several of the New England magnates had come to the conclusion that they would be unable to back clubs at this tirne because of conditions in the financial world. Consequently Gilmore reached the decision to abandon tenn porarily the plan.

cannot speak too highly of the curative powers of E. L. NJ. Ointment, because it has done so much for my child who had been affected with large sores which covered his entire body: these sores were very large, most Of them being over one inch in diameter and very much in1amed. His head and face were also affected and a scab formed on his scalp which covered it entirely. I had done all 1 possibly could to have him cured but was ad- vised that his case was incurable. I started using your E. L. M. Ointment, and after four weeks treatment the large sores on his body were healed and the scab which covered his head had entirely disappeared. I feel very gra teful. indeed. for the good r. L. NJ. has done for my child, for it was pitt ful to have him suffering as he was.

More Optimism Prevails Than at any Time Since Diplomat ic Correspondence Began Over the Lusitania.
NOTES MEANING TAKEN
 IN DIFFERENT WAYS
Majority Feel That Note Leaves Ways Open by Which Both Nations Can Retain Their Honor and Gain Ends.

WASHINGTON. June Optimism more pronounced than since the dip lomatic correspondence with Germany over the sea zone war began. was manifested in official quarters over ,he prospects Of a peaceful outcome pending the controversy between the United States and Germany. The Am ericau note was presented at the Der lin foreign office by Gerard. It is iu- terpreted on an sides as decidedly friendly and leaving the way open for a satisfactory solution with honor to both sides.
 Officially it is stated note will soon be sent to Great Britain and her allies insisting upon a change in the operation Of the blockade conducted by them 30 that t would conform Co the principles of international law. torbiddine interference in the trade of nom coutraband passing Co and from telligerent countries, through coutig- uOus neutral country.
 This, it is generally believed. will be am important factor in couvincinp the German government that the Un- tied States would maintain the same vigorous position on the fundamental points in international law with re- spect to the Allies as has been the 52u9puods7IIo3 uBoI5wV 5W u. 7-po with Germany
 Close reading, in diplomatic quar- teIs of the American note to Germany presented by Ambassador Gerard to- day, the second since the lusitania was sunk, brought out a variety of predictions and views as Co the man. ner in which Germany will reply. There is general feeling of conh- deuce. however, that Germany will accept some of the several avenues Of approach purposely included in the note by the America ngovernment, SO as to make possible a friendly settle. ment
 Much importance is attached to the statement of the willingness of the United States to exercise it's good uf- lices between the belligerents in any attempt 10 come To an understanding by which the character and condi- tions of the war upon the sea may bc changed
 This, it is believed In many quar- teIs, might result in correspondence that might ultimately lead to peace negotiations. l. was learned too. that copies Of the note had been cabled to the American embassies at London. Paris Fetregrad and Rome for the ln- formation of the ambassadors there, and that copies win be deposited at the respective foreign offices Of those capitals
