SARATOGA 1916 MEETING
 WILL BE A BIG ONE
Greatest Racing in History Will Take
 Place.

If the present plans of the direc- tors of the Saratoga Racing associa- tiOn do not miss fire, the American Spa promises to give the greatest rac- ing meeting in 1916 in the history of the track. It is estimated that close to $300,000 will be hung up for horse owners during the twenty-siX (calcu- lated) days of racing which will make up the season at the Spa next year.
 It was at Saratoga that the Re- public stakes-the idea of the late w. C.. Whitney-was first run off. This race was the richest turf event in America, with the exception of the kuturity. MT. Whitney intended to make it the most valuable turf feature in the world.
 Each year since racing was resumed at the Spa the directors have increased the value of the stakes. The Hopeful stakes and the other events which re- gently closed to entries have received record breaking entries. The Hopeful stakes will be worth close to $20, 900 in 1916, the Futurity alone surpassing it in value.
 The citizens of Saratoga will sub- scribe largely to the stakes for next season. It has been the yearly custom for Saratogans to donate to the stake features, but next year they have promised Secretary Ehrlocker to dou- ble their subscriptions for the racing fund.
 Wehn racing was stopped in this state Saratoga was the chief sufferer. Since the race horse has come back Saratoga has fairly bloomed In recog- milton of what the thoroughbred has done for Saratoga the citizens have promised to come forward and make the racing at the Spa worth while

Then won the contest after one of the most sensational finishes ever seen in long bike race in this countrp.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Prices Were Extremely Irregular at
 the Opening.

New York, Dec. 11.-Not the least interesting feature of today's short session was the fact that it marked the first anniversary of the resump- change, after the enforced closur of virtually four and a half months due to the outbreak of the European war. There was this added difference, how ever, that when business was resumed year ago trading was on a very re- rtcited and limited basis. Today every part of the stock and bond list was open to full and free operation. More over, many issues altogether unknown last year have since leaped into eX- traordinary prominence.
 Prices were extremely irreguIar at the opening. U. S. Steel fell 3-8 to 85 3-4, and Canadian Pacific declined 1 3-4 to 178 while war shares were fractionaIly lower. A demand for rail- way shares, with New York Central leading the movement, soon restored losses and substituted general gains. in connection with rumors that the dividend rate was soon to be increased. Other features of strength in that group included Norfolk and Western, trunk lines. Specialties, particularly automobile stocks, Texas company, Mercantile Marine pfd. and some of the more conspicuous war issues, re- SpOnded to the general forward move ment, with some shading from top prices at the close. Total sales amount ed to 297, 900 shares.
 Anglo French war bonds were slight iy frmer and representatives of the banking syndicate expressed their dis approval of the recent selling for fu- ture delivery. The usual weekend budget of trade news was all of a fla vorable character. President Wilson's views on business, as expressed in his Columbus speech, were one of the heratening features of the day.
 London was a moderate seller in this market, but offerings from that quar- ter were freely absorbed. Exchange on London was slightly lower on nom inal selling of bills. Continental ex- change again reflected the confiicted conditions at those centers of finance.
 The bond market was irregular, with value) aggregated $2,150,000.
 U. s. coupon As declined 5-8 per cent. on call during the week.

 Saturday Night Disorder.
 Saturday nights a great deal of ex- citement prevails at 10 o'clock and after, anywhere along Railroad avenue from the crossing as far as Oates store. This is the section of the town where young men and old men who be- come dead to this world because of intoxication congregate and give their views on various questions, which many times starts quarredlS which end in fistic encounters. Last Satur- day evening it seemed like an amateur boxing show there, as one contest fol- lowed another.

President Maier of the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league has taken a sensible move in the cases of Bert Whaling and Herb Morgan who were turned over to the club by the Braves in exchange for Outfielder Wilhoit. Whaling said he would not play with Vernon unless made man. ager, and Moran also expressed dis satisfaction. President Maier has in formed both they could have his per- sion to make deals that would shift them to whatever clubs they pleased to go. It is believed Whaling will tie up with the F'ederals, while Mo- rams hope is to land with some or ganized club in the eastern part of the country.
