FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
MARKET LESS ACTIVE.
Irregular at Opening, But Closed With
Moderate General Gains.

New York, Dec. 3.-The market was
less active but more responsive to
constructive conditions today, throw
ing off much of it's pessimism of the
previous session and closing with
moderate but, general gains In the
early dealings some 5irregularity was
observed, mainly as a result of re-
newed pressure from bearish sources.
Spectators for the decline gave cur
rency to. a variety of adverse rumors,
ranging from the tenor of the presi-
dents, forthcoming message to condi-
tons abroad.
London was again a. moderate seller
of or securities here, but almost the
only reflection of the foreign situation
was seen in another low record for
German exchange. Marks fell to IS IA,
decline of IL from its recent min
imum quotation, with an easier ten
dency for sterling and francs. Bank
ers representing the allies, gave denial
to reports of a cancellation of war or
ders, and that class of stocks held
relatively firm.
Rails furnished a basis for.confidence
by their ,qniet strength, Canadian Pa
cific proving the only notable excep-
ton. New York Central, Reading, IN
ion Pacific. Southern Pacific and ST.
Paul were higher by point and Fries
cessiens. moving forward in the later
dealings.
United States Steel easily recovered
its loss of the previous day, gaining
as at Sc 3-S. Steel's tonnage figures
for November appear week from to-
day. and forecasts indicate a gain over
the remarkable increase shown by the
October statement. Bethlehem Steel
was unquoted until the final hour,
when it opened at $50, a loss of 10
points, but soon rose to ATS.
Coppers of all classes were firm and
almost two scores of issues compris-
ng industrials. equipments, oils and
automobile stocks, We're two :. to ten
points higher. Sugar stocks were
again in class by themselves, Cuban
American gaining at 169 and South
Porto Rico 5 at 100. Total sales of
stocks amounted to 1890 shares.
The extent to which money is piling
up at this center is evidenced by to-
days free offerings of five and six
months money at 2 ga per cent, which
equals the low rate for this form of
accommodation in several years. Local
banks report large gains from the in
terror and a substantial cash increase
should be shown by tomorrow's state
ment.
Bonds were irregular on light trad
ing. Total sales, par value, aggregat-
ed $4,337, 900.

BIG NINE MAY NOT DO
AWAY WITH SUMMER BALL
Indications Point That Votes Against
Ii Are Few.

Chicago, Dec solicitations to-
night were against action calculated
OF do away with the summer baseball
rule at the meeting of the Big Nine
faculty committee here tomorrow. OPP
ponents of the rule, it was believed,
have not been able to muster enough
votss to overcome the sentiment in
favor of its retention.
The question of prohibition, under
the rules against professionalism, of
athletes taking summer jobs with golf
clubs may be brought up, though few
athletes of prominence, it Is said,
would come under such a ban.
Confesence representatives have ex-
pressed themselves against adding
more institutions to the nine now COM
posing the circuit and it was not con-
sidered likely that Nebraska, Notre
Dame or the Michigan Aggies would
be enrolled, though their applications
for membership were said to have
been received.
Dates ana places fo- the annual in

be set and the election of a president
to succeed Professor Frye of Wisconsin

ON DISSOLUTION
OF PACIFIC RAILROADS
Concluded Late Yesterday-Briefs Will
i Be Filed Monday.

st. Louis, Dec. 3.-Arguments were
concluded late today in the case of the
government to separate the Central
Pacific from the, Southern Pacific rail-
way. and when the final briefs are
filed on Monday. Dec. 13, the three cir
cttit judges who heard the arguments
VIII Begin final consideration of the
petition for a dissolution Of the Cen
trail Pacific system.
These three judges are Walter H.
Sanborn OF St Paul William c. Hook
oft Leavenworth and John E. Garland
offs Washington, D. c.
The entire afternoon session of the
court was occupied by Edward F. Nc
Clennan, attorney for the government,
!niJ his argument in rebuttal.
Elf it lis shown in the evidence"
asked Presiding JudIs lSanborn, ''that
he tonnage over the Central Pacific is
as great NOW as it would be if the
-o8ds were separated, should the court
consider that fact in reaching it's con-
citsion?"
sNo," replied Mr. McClennan, for
caw can the court decide whether the
tonnage now is as great as it would be
If sthe Central Pacific were a separate
line 2" rx4
IF the court finds that no harm has
been done by the Southern Pacific
ownership of the Central Pacific" con-
tinued Judge Sanborn how then can
it find any harm will be done, and if it
cannot find that harm will be done
how can it grant an injunction ?''
TO this question Mr.. McClennan re-
piled:
Under the Sherman antitrust law
the power to do harm is the evil at
which the statute aims. If the power
to do harm exists because of the
Southern Pacific ownership of the Cen
trail Pacific, that is the vital fact to be
considered" rs s
Mr. McClennan insisted that there
was no Inconsistency in the position of
dissolution, case and in the present
case; that the supreme court held that
tho vital factor in the Union Pacific
merger was this Ownership by one COM
pany of the Southern Pacific and the
Central Pacific lines.
THE fact~that the Union Pacific is
competing. for business through the
ogden gateway is not the vital point"
said Mr. McClennan. THE vital point
is owned by the Southern. Pacific, is
not competing for business for the
Ogden gateway. ~ So
Nor Is the government stopped from
redress in sthis case, because it did not

aration of the Central Pacific from the

was the year when Harvard had a
W world beating team and Yale had been
soundly beaten by Brown in the week
before its final battle. But out of the
west came Tom Shevlin. and he was
more successful on that occasion in
thwarting the powerful Crimson attack
than he was this year. Anyway, the

YALE SOCCER TEAM HERE TODAY

Strong Combination Meet Them-First Time Yale
Has Played Here-Lmeup Announced

the eastern part of the state paves it's
way to state that the game this after
noon will undoubtedly be closely con-
tested.
This is the first time that Yale has
ever played in the Rose of New Eng
land and If the local soccer fans have
the dope correct it will be one that
they won't forget, as they will be met
with strong opposition. The game
which is purely an exhibition game
has staged through the untiring eff
forts of President Reid Mcintyre of
the Eastern Connecticut League who
has for several years in the past triad
to arrange for a game OF this sort but
had met with poor success. The idea
of the game rs to fami1iarize local
people with the game which is finding
a strong foothold in the western part
of the state.
Many fans who have never seen the
national game of Johnny" Bull play

reports that fans from Willimantic,
New London, Westerly, aDnielson and
Putnam have signified that they will

The Yale team is note for it's

ainers in these parts to show the class
and the science of handling the ball.
AS a defensive team, President Mac
Intyre said Friday evening the ALL

combination that will be hard for the
New Haveners to penetrate as the
main part of this department 's made
up of the Plainfield team who have
