FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET DULL AND HEAVY.
Caused by Uncertainty Attending In-
 ternationai Conditions.

New York, Feb. 1.-The apprehen- sion and uncertainty attending inter national conditions were once more potent factors in today's dull and heavy stock market Trading was ult-a-p professional and mainly on the short side. In the early session that factor renewed it's attacks on leading shares, which fell a point or more, coalers showing greatest weakness. Later prices made gradual recovery. but in the final hour selling of Ameri- can Smelling in large volume brought renewed pnsettlement, the closing be- ing at or near the lowest level of the day.
 Baltimore and Ohio New Haven, Southern Railway preferred. Seaboard Air Line preferred and Loose Wi1es were among the stocks that fell to new I oWor repeated former minimum quotations. Some of the more dormant specialties yielded one to three points while Mexican Petroleum lost five and onehalf points, with 8 sharp decline in the preferred shares.
 Pressed Steel Car was not affected by the conpany's annual report, which showed an extraordinary shrinkage in net earnings and an increase in sur plus of s17.000 after payment of the preferred divid ends.
 Foreign exchange gave less reason for concern. rates or London indicaJ- N'~-H7S~t-1tA n1ous offerings of bills which caused th9 recent unprecedented decline. Francs and marks also showed more stability. but the situation as a whole continued somewhat precarious De- nial Was again made of reports that imports of gold on a large scale are under negotiation.
 Weakness of the several steel and iron shares was not in keeping with trade reports, which were of more tenor, especially as to maintenance of increased production Rumors of a shading of copper prices were reflected in the steady offering of metal shares.
 Trading was narrow in London Americans being in light demand. New York Central and Canadian Pacific were among the heaviest issues in that market.
 The local bond market moved in with stocks, some of the speculative issues as well as low priced railways declining sharply. To tai sales, par value, aggregated s2,- 094, 900.

BIG DEMAND FOR
 RAGING HORSES.
Dealers Report the Interest is Unusu-
 ally Early This Season.

The winter is slipping into the month of March, and there is little prospect that the road riders will have much more of a chance for sleigh rac- ing. It. however. will be only a short time before the horsemen will be look ing forward to the opening of the Bay State circuit.
 Ever since the enthusiastic meeting of horsemen held in Boston in con nection with the meeting of the stew ards of tEe Bay State circuit, there has been a very noticeable increase of interest in the coming racing season, both in it's amateur and it's profession al branches. Dealers report the inter est is unusual so early in the season and say that if they could find the horses that would fill the bill there would not be the least trouble in dis posing of them for good prices.
 One dealer, who has sold as many horses for high prices as has any in New England in the past 25 years, re- gently made the statement that horse that could reasonably be expect ed to make good a sa stake prospect will bring more money at the present time than ever before, but that those that fall short of that standard will not bring proportionately as large a price a they would in former days. However, this feature of the local mar ket for speed has undoubtedly been largely due to the fact that most of the men who will pay good prices for trot teTs and pacers have not in recent years had the opport un iotytchea .. years had the opportunity to race them except at the fall fairs, unless they wore to campaign them over the grand circuit and of course q horse that falls much short of being first class is not of much use when it comes to do- ing down the big line. There is no doubt that the fine opportunity that will be afforded New England horse men to race over nearby tracks the coming sea son. and for increased purses at at least some of the tracks in membership with the Bay State cir cult will make the good. serviceable trotter. though he may fall short of being a Peter Scott, a Margaret Dru- fen or a Lassie AfcGregor. more in de- mand that have been animals of sinli- lar class for some years.

Those who have not studied econ omies in the running of their mo- tor cars have no idea how much saving can be accomplished by care ful driving, the keeping of accounts, and foresight exercised from time to time" says the Providence Tri- bune- Of course, there are a certain number of rich owners of motor cars who leave everything to their paid drivers-in these days far than they used to be-and do not care to go into details or even in quire what a particular car is cost inS them per month or year.
 But there is a much wider circle Of motorists to whom economy or at any rate the stoppaSe of waste and extravaganza, is important and some of the hints given below may be useful to them even though they may not be new.
 ITO begin with. the tires are the most expensive wearable part of a modern car. Varying as they do in price, it should be noted that the original cost of the tire is no cri- terion as to it's cost per mile run and cheap tires are often the most expensive from this point of view But economies in the wear of tires
 
 ways if thought is given. For ex- ample, the stopping and starting should be gradual and neither hand nor foot brake should be adjusted violently. Patches of unrolled stone should, be avoided, and careful watch shoud be maintained for broken glass.
 "The tires should always he shel- tered as much as possible from the fierce rays of the sun and kept blown up to the proper standard and not allowed to run half inflated. Grease. is also an enemy to rubber tires, producing rapid dLsintegration. Finally bad cuts should be filled up at once with repair material Many motorists allow their tires to wear tco far and when recovered the new tread breaks. away from the under used for a considerable time, all the outer covers and tubes should be taken off and hung in cool, dark places.
 "The second most expensive item in motoring is gasoline. The ordi- nary driver knows but little how to .econonize with fuel for the com monest fault is that the carburetor needs air. the absence of which not onl scots up the plugs, but also wastes his gasoline. Again. running on top gears tends to produce econ on1y. The engine should never be left running when the wheels are not actually in motion, for nowadays when most of the cars have been equipped with electric starters. there is no reason why this should be done.
 Last but not least, comes the econoraie5 in the use of Iubricatine oils. which unless carefully regu- lated, cause tine unnecessary emis- sioIl of swcke from the exhaust much to the an1cEes;ce Of the pedes- train and ia v5cis.;jon of the law Nu,a-rous aS4car>a do nol seem to reed tic G-ogsplMg O. o;l under heath the car Thts iniic2tss .7ot only that the lUtt5 ication cos*s yvt;1 tra ia!gh. ku- also that there is something strained or in bad repair which needs looking after.

ton between foodstuffs intended for the civil population and those for the armed forces or enemy government disappears when the distinction be tween the civil population and the armed forces itself disappears
 Tn any country in which there ex- ists such tremendous organization for war as now obtains i'll Germany, there is no clear division between those whom the government is responsible for feeding and those whom it IS not. Experience shows that the power to reuuisition will be used to the fullest extent in order to make sure thattth wants of the military are supplied and however much goods may be imported for civil use it is by the military that they will be consumed if military e1l- gencies require it, especially now that the German government have taken control of ali the foodstuffs in the country"
 Transfers to Neutral Flag.
 After giving statistics tending to show that supplies are reaching neU- tral ports from the United States to 'an unprecedented extent and recltlng efforts on the part of his government ito deal as leniently as possible with neutral interests, Sir Edward E$oaI1tS out that Great Britain has recognized the transfer to a neutral flag of ene- my shipsh belonging to comUanies hillCIl W tI1 AlItfA EJt't ettENt HI S-AO country. but all of whose sharehold- CTS were neutral even waivirg ob- jections to companies incorporated in Germany which were subsidiary to and owned by American corporations, the only ConG.cio1 55eiug imposed that the vessels should take no fuEthel part in trade vF->h the enemy country.
 Mary Complaints Unfounded.
 T have s;ive2 these indications,s' concludes Sir Edward, of the policy which we have followed, because I cannot L=lC feeling that if the facts were Eluzl Gully known as to the ef- forts y5i.ic,- we have made to avoid inl5cliI.z- any avOidabie injury on neu- traI Interests. many Of the complaints which have b3eu received by the ad- mintstrEclc-l i1 Washington and which Ied t5 t15 protest which Your Excel Ieut- handed 10 me on the 2Sth of De- ceuIar. q-ouId never have been made.
 ''EAy hope Is that when the facts Wi1ic1- I have set out above are real ized and when 1t Is seen that our naval operaticns have not diminished Amer icar trade with neutral countries and that the lines on which we have act ed are consistent with the fundamental principles of international law, it will be apparent to the government ana people of the United States that His MajestY's government have hitherto endeavored to exercise their Delligerent rights with every possible considera- ton for the interests o9 nen-rals.

KANSAS CITY FRANCHISE
 STILL FLOATING ABOUT.
President Gilmore Says Offers from Both Newark and the Bronx Look Good to Him.

President Jim Gilmore, the boss of the Federal league, in a conference with Harry F. Sinclair and Pat Powers concerning the location of the Kansas >CIty club. The men were together for some time after which President Cil- more stated that the offers from both Newark and the Bronx looked so good that it was difficult to make a choice. The matter was left in the hands of sinclair and Powers, who will make their decision known in a few days
 'l prefer to leave the selection to the good judgment of Mr Sinclair and Mr. POWers, said President Gilmore They know the conditions better than 1 do, and if they think it advisable to locate in the Bronx next season, I am however, to locate in Newark are very strong, and the question will take much consideration
 It is understood that the suggestion to transfer the Indianapolis club has aroused much protest in the lea que. and that city will be tried out for an other season at least. '.Indianapoli will stick in the league said AIr. Gil- more, and they tell me out there that a very promising season is in store for the pennant winners of our league. want to say that F'alkenberg. the Hoo- feds star pitcher will be with them again. He has not been sold to the Brooklyn cIub, reports to the contrary npFWltnSLanulnS 1 saw all the best clubs in all the leagues play last sea- son. and l want to say that the In- dicnapolis club, which won the Federal league pennanL was match for any of them. It played fast. snappy ball and will again be right up in the race next season
 T am not interested in what the In ternation9l league intends to do. All that l have to say about it is that I wish it luck. It seems to me that the other big leagues are under obliga tio1s to tie minors, and I should think that they would stand by them in their present troubles. The minors made the National and American leagues. but they seemed to have overlooked that fact now.
 Our minor league project in New England has not been abandoned, and our league will hear the report of our agents at the next meeting in Buffalo l am going to Pinehurst, where I ex- pect to play some golf with Vice President Robert B. Ward MT Ward and Lloyd Rickert are drafting our schedule, which will be ready on Feb. 26"

Every Harrisonian is roofing hard for the Feds to come here and we will do all we can for the Feds to assist them in selecting a location for their plant and anything else they may deslre We want the Feds and will welcome them with open arms Of conrse, the team will represent New ark and Newark fans will have the team as their own, but we will root hard for the team, too. Newarkers will find that a better spot could not be choser. Some of them may not realize it. but it will be easier to get here than to many sections of their own city,
