WOMEN TO COMPETE
FOR NATIONAL TRAP
SHOOTING CHAMPIONSHIP

One of thu most interesting fea-
lures of next weeks Sportsmen's
Show to be held at the New York
Grand Central Palace, will be the
competition of woman trap shooters
for the title of champion of the Uni
ted States. Entries have been re
ceived from all parts of the country
and the best shooters among the fair
sex will try and carry off the prize.
Prominent among those who VIII
compete are Miss Katherine Reehan,
of Los Angeles, only seventeen years
OF age, but already recognized as one
OF the most expert markswomen In
America; Miss June Houghton, OF
New York City: Miss Jessie Thorp,
OF Mount Vernon, n. Y, always a
dangerous competitor for high hon
ors; Mrs. l.. G. Vogel, of Detroit
Mich, the present amateur champion
and little Miss eBtarice Mckay, OF
Brooklyn the youngest OF all the con
tenders.
More interest seems TO be taken In
this years contest than in any held
in the past, and If the number OF
competitors is any means OF compar
ison Il would seem that the outdoor
loving American women are taking
up trap shooting in even greater mum
bers than tennis, golf and swimming
Which calls to mind the vogue thai
trapshooting and rifle shooting are
enjoying at the present time in all
sections Of the country.
Two very important rifle shooting
contests are to be held shortly-the
Zettler Gallery Championship at New
York, and the 100 shot 20 calibre In
door Championship, to be held this
year at the San Francisco Exposition
The competition in these events last
wear brought out some of the closest
shooting that has been seen on Am
erican ranges, DR.. w. G.. Hudson oil
New York, winning the latter shoot
with the score of 2.4S0 out of a pos
sible $500 and the former with 2,4SS
out Of a possible $500, shooting Rem
ington 22s in both events. II the

FRANCO-BRITISH
LOAN MARKS TIME
Organization of Supplementary
Credits in New York Is
Almost Halted.

Although it was not officially admit
ted Yesterday that hitch has arisen
in the negotiations for the establish
ment of supplementary credits here
for Great Britain. il was apparent that
all was not going well, as the expected
public announcement of the compile
ton of an initial S50,000,000 loan In
the form of acceptanees and direct
advances did not materialize.
In banking circles the explanation
offered was that the Clearing House
banks and trust companies who are ex-
pected TO participate in the proposed
financing. want il clearly understood
what share of the credit will be i'm
posed upon them by the committees at
work. Some Of the banks have already
advanced large sums TO their London
CORRESPONDENTS and they are not par
ticularly anxious that these loans
,hall be materially increased TO those
institutions. ,,
In view of the fact that the National
City Bank is supposed 20 be acting for
the Clearing House banks and trust
companies, many are at loss TO un-
derstand why separate proposals are
being made at this time.
In connection with an official an
nouncement yesterday. that the Guar,
anty Trust Company has been appointed
by the Auglo-French commission as reg
istrar OF the s500,000OOO five per cent
uar loan. II was stated that the trust
company will exchange engraved DEN
nitiye bonds as soon as they are ready
for the interim bonds now IN process

AMERICAN CREDITS
TO HELP EXCHANGE
British Bankers Worried Over
Public Observation-Disclosures
ing Interest in Finance.
BY FRANCIS W. HIRST.
Editor Tho Economist" London.
lBy Gable 70 The Trbune.l

10y 'a1tr 20 Al' AAt"AHFsl
London, Nov. 9.-The most notice
able feature Of last week was the
increasing interest Of bankers in
public finance and the Stock Ex-
change and the feeling that the ex-
haustion Of credit will make the pro-
longation of war through the winter
very difficult, especially for Ger
many. Brands speech repudiating
policy Of conquest has received
attention here, as well as the bold
article of the Berlin "Vorwaerts" at
lacking the German government.
American notes are being handled
very cautiously here. Silver cur
rency is in great demand, as the
working classes do not take kindly to
paper notes. The adverse Dutch ex-
change is exciting attention, having
been as much as 6 per cent
against US.
I estimate the cost Of war now at
about s126, 100000 weekly, or $780,
100000 monthly. For the six chief
belligerents the daily cost is some
what "a follows: Great Britain,
Go 100000; Germany, $4,000, 900;
France, Russia and Austria, each
f2,5O0,O00, and Italy 81 800 OO-a
total of s1S,OOO,O0O daily. Thus, on
the present scale, the cost for an
other year would be f6,570,OOO,OOO.
Neutral accounts represent condi-
tons in Germany as increasingly
grave. Here, at home, the prosper
ity of industrial districts continues,
but bankers feel that excessive ex-
penditures and borrowing must spell
initiation and would welcome strong
government action to check public
extravaganza. Further credits from
America are expected to assist the
exchange.

LONDON MARKET
INCREASES BUYING
Active Purchasing of Colonial
and Short Term Bonds and
British Railroads.

London, Nov. THE stock market
to-day maintained a good undertone,
and business was active in the invest
ment section in colonial and short
term bonds, home rails, Kaffirs and the
war loan. The amount of stock being
taken up is causing wonder as TO
where the money is coming from.
Purchases are attributed in part to the
present low level of prices and partly
to big houses accommodating stock in
authorization of a renewed demand when
hostilities cease. Consols were un-
changed at 65. The new war loan
closed unchanged at 96S.
The feature in the American section
was Canadian Pacific, which advanced
sharply on improved earnings reports.
The rest of the list hardened from be-
low parity and closed steady.
The Bank Of England shipped $780,
600 in sovereigns TO America and $780,
600 to the Continent. Money and dis
count rates were quiet and steady
