SATURDAYS MARKET.
Operations Were Very Moderate in
 an Irregular Session.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Todays mar ket was in the main a repetition of recent dull and irregular sessions, operations being in very moderate vol tune and consisting largely of a clos ing of outstanding contracts Public interest was altogether lacking, aside from a fair inquiry for certain invest ment issues, including the Anglo French bonds.
 United States Steel was the most active feature, though showing some heaviness. Other prominent issues in cluded American Smelting, Republic Iron and Steel. Studebaker and Bald win Locomotive.
 Texas Company, [. s. Industrial Al cohol Virginia Coal, Iron and Coke substantially higher, but the move ment in these issues was without ma terial effect elsewhere.
 Rails were fairly firm but dull. Ex- captions to the general strength in that division were manifested by New York Central and Pennsylvania. Dealings fell away perceptibly in the final hour, when prices shaded fractiOnally from their best. Total sales amounted to 192 900 shares.
 Weekend reports dealt mainly with the sustained activity in many lines of business and gave promise of a further upward revision in prices of many industries now in great demand. There were reports of additional large orders of copper for export, but these were not reflected in the course of copper shares.
 Negotiations having for their end
 the placing of additional foreign cred it's in this market were under consid-
 eration, and it is believed that some of the important railways and indus trial corporations are soon to engage in new financing.
 Bakers with foreign connections were quoted as expecting further Flu ropean liquidation of American stocks and bonds as a result of the British governments plan to control those se- curities. The market for exchange was again irregular, guilders receding slightly, likewise marks, while sterling and francs were firm.
 The features of the bank statement included an expansion of loans by about $28,00000O and a contraction of | reserves of slightly more than $20,- 900, 900.
 Bonds were irregular, with total sales (par value) of $1,835, 900. U. S. registered As advanced 1-2 per l cent on call during the week.

Peabody and We equally firmly believe that during all these years Wray should have won all the Yale and a majority of the Cornell races and should cer- tainly have beaten Columbia and Princeton
 As a matter of fact, during this pc riod Harvard has won seven out of eleven Yale races and two out of eleven Cornell races.
 ''Is it not literally true that not one of Wray's crews has ever beaten a crew physically its equal?" asks MT. Peabody.
 Surely no one who saw this years race can doubt that the eight fine men who sat in the Harvard crew, if coach ed by Nickalls (the Yale coach), would easily have beaten the lighter Yale crew if coached by Wray"
 Wray has a contract with Harvard which does not expire until after the Yale race of 1919. He will continue in the Harvard employ under this contract, receiving his regular salary but Robert E. Herrick will be in charge of Harvard rowing, and the head coach under MT. Herrick will be William Haines, formerly professional | coach of the Union Boat club, Boston

 The Penn boys played their hard est game of the season. The field was muddy and caused much slipping. The FaverfOrd defense, however, was custodian throughout, except when Baron shot a very difficult goal for Pennsvlvania. Gardner and w Shipley lent splendid support on the back division, but the greatest work of any player on either side was shown by Hallett the Haverford right halfback, who carried off the indi- vidual hOnOrs Of the day.

 Some of the Federal League owners. it was said, wereinclined to balk after the alleged agreement was signed but men here representing organized base ball said there was no chance that they would start their circuit again.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-According to a statement made today by a man f1- nancially interested in the negotia- tions, representatives of the Federal, National and American leagues signed a peace agreement at the New 4ork meeting inSuring the withdrawal from the field of the Federal league without the assumption of contract obligations with its players by the older organiza- tions.
 Feds to Retain Players Until 1917.
 According to this authority the agreement provides that the Federal league retains its players until the opening of the 1917 season, paying all salaries called for by contracts and reimbursing it's packers from the sale of players to clubs in organized base ball Another provision of the agree ment, it was said. was that the Wards of Brooklyn were to be reimbursed for their outlay in the Federal league by the American and National leagues. This stipulation previously had been announced.
 According to the authority quoted above, the meeting to be held at Gin cinnati Tuesday has only details to consider. Among these items was the disposition of the Baltimore Fed eraI league club which is reported to desire a place in some recognized or ganization.
 According to the statement refer red to, no mention was made in the peace agreement of the sale of any National or American league club to Federal league packers. It was said this was left to individual negotia- tions. It was reported here today however. that Charles Weeghman ot

BROWN ELEVEN LEAVES FOR
 CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY
Providence Team in Good Condition Longest Trip for Single Game Ever Made by American College.

Brown university's football team will leave Providence Wednesday on
 its 5000 mile trip to Pasadena, Cal, to play Washington on New Years
 day. The trip will be one of the
 longest ever taken by an American
 college football team for a single
 game. The Washington. team has
 made a great record this season, but
 Brown undergraduates and alumni
 look to see their eleven gain a vic
 tory
 Coach Robinson and Archie Hahn,
 the track coach, who has been as
 sisting in football work since the ac- tive track season closed, while they
 will not talk on Browns prospects for the game, seem optimistic and this feeling is shared by Brown men in
 general. The Providence boys had
 some hard practice last week for the contest, but they will take il easy this
 week before starting on their long
 trip.
 The Brown squad will stop off in Chicago for a short practice and will arrive on the coast several days be- fore the game, so that Robinson and Hahn are not worrying much over having the eleven that faces Wash ingtOn in fine condition for the big intersectiOnal gridiron battle. At the present time all of the men on the squad. with the exception of Fraser are in good condition.
 Fraser has a weak ankle which still | bOthers him considerably, but it is ex- | peCted that he will be in shape for the New Years day game. Maxwell who was on the injured list for a good share of the past season, is rap | idly rounding into form and the coach
 eS are confident he will .,e able to start in the game against Washington While the lineup for the game in California has not yet been announced | it is thought that practically the same team which represented Brown in most | of the games this fall will take the | field against the Pacific coast stars | The team is expected to return to | Providence about Jan. q
