FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS HEAVY. Securities Show Less Resistance Un- der Selling Pressure.

New York, March 12.-The market for securities displayed less resistance to selling pressure today, some of the speculative favorites declining over a point on moderate offerings. Heavi- ness was most pronounced in the aft ernoon, the motor shares yielding prac- tically all the ground gained during the morning session. Obvious manip- ulation in this class of stocks has provoked considerable criticism recent ly, although it is recognized that the motor industry has profited to an un- wonted degree by reason of the war.
 General unsettlement occurred in the final dealings when 1t became known that the directors of the Southern Railway had decided to pass the div idend on the preferred stock. which broke five points to 45, two points above it's minimum. At the same time announcement was made of the sus- pension of the dividend on Sloss-Shef- field Iron preferred. That company re- gently issued it's annual report, show ing very large impairment of earn ings.
 In point of fact, today&s market was left largely to it's own devices, actual leadership still being lacking. The short interest has made several efforts to capitalize new developments in Eu- rope and Mexico and the construc- tive faction has held aloof, pending a more favorable turn in the general sit uation
 Foreign exchange was again variable the feature beong Italian fires, which were about 25 points under rates quoted a week ago. The break in fires was assumed to represent some thing more important than mere buy ing of supplies, rumor passing in the belief that large loan to Italian in- terests is impending.
 Bank cleartngs confirm recent ad- vices of a halt in trade at leading centers, the decrease in. New York be- ing almost twenty per cent. compared with the previous week.
 Local banks appear to have gained some cash on the weekly movement. Time money was freely quoted at re- cent low rates and commercial paper was on 8 partly with long time ma turities. Total sales, of stocks amounted to 225.3o0 shares.
 Investment bonds were irregular, with more steadiness in some of the cheaper issues. Total sales, par value, were s1,995,000.
 Panama coupon 3's were 3-4 Der cent. lower on call.

COLUM BlA WILL
COLUMBIA WILL
 HAVE FOOTBALL Favorite Fall Sport Will Be There Once More After Ten Years Lspse.
O. to have foofbau

Columbia is going to have football once again. That much was determ- ined at a mass meeting of the stud ents of Columbia college, held in Uni versity thall on the campus. The undergraduates were practically unan- imous in indorsing the resolution that had been submitted by the faculty committee, but they did not take it all there will be football there once more, after lapse of ten years.' but it will not be the football of other days. It will be a sort of expurgated edition, somewhat devitalized in it's general aspect from the days of "Bilr' Nor ley, Harold Weeks, Tom" Thorpe, Chauncey Berrien and other stars of the gridiron, who brought a lot of publicity to the blue and white.
 For instance, when the sport is re- big teams may be met in the first five years. During that period the sport will be on probation. One student got up in the meeting and said that Penn Sylvania was desirouS of reSuming re- lat;ons on the gridiron with Columbi ard others pleaded for a chance to play Cornell or other colleges with which there were closer athletic relations than some of the teams that will be allowed on the schedule. This was all out of order, though, and the students were obliged to accept what was of fered them. Evidently they felt that half a loaf was better than none at all, and when it came to a vote after an animated discussion there were only five who had the courage to stand up ard voice their disapproval of the res urrection of the sport As there were about thousand voting students pres ent 1t may be seen that the preponder- ance of opinion was in favor of foot ball.
 There Is just one matter further to be settled, and that is the official rati- fication of the movement by the facuI- ty. That vii not take place until April 20, when that body holds it's next meeting.
 In reply to questions it was stated definitely that any home game to be played by Columbia must be played on grounds owned by the university. That means that any college gridiron con- test in which Colubia may take part i, next fall, or for the next five years, must be played either on South field or Columbia Oval, at Williamsbridge.
