THE BUSINESS SIT
UATION REVIEWED

Considering the Unsuitable demands
for funds for crarying on the world
war it is indeed remarkable that the
money markets have shown so much
stability. 1t is true that the belli-
gerent nations must pay high rates
of interest for their borrowings, and
there is no doubt that, in some ccun-
tries, much financ al stress is expert
enced, but so far as the world fin
ancial markets are concerned, things
have kept their balance wonderfully
well. A great deal of interest awaits
the proposed English war credit of
100 900 900, and Il ere is much con
| lecture as ito what influence the ad-
ditional demands fer funds will have
on money rates. At the rate money
is being spent, 1t is thought that
vance. There has been considerable
new financing in recent months, by
industrial and otter corpor at.ors, and
much more is contemplated In view
cf conditions, money for long-term
purposes has been borrowed lately
by such interests at most advantage
Gus rates. 1t is natural, at present,
that the United States should be
the world banker. Its financial posi-
ton is constantly gaining strength.
Its stock OF gold is approximately

cumulated by amy country. Net gold
imports last year amounted to about
S42O 900, 900 and gold continues to
come from nearly every part of tie
world. With the continuance of tie
war the country's ability to help its
neighbors should be- correspondinsly
increased, provided it is itself not
drawn into the struggle.
Other countries of the western
hemisphere, particularly Canada and
Argentina, will no doubt be called
upon more largely than heretofore
for their products, and they have
greater ability to supply them.
The fact that 20 many merchant
vessels have been diverted to other
uses, or put out OF commission alto
gether, has made a great demand for
new craft the world over. AS a CON.
sequence. shApbuilding concerns have
orders on hand sufficient to keep
them busy for two or three years.
New avenues Of trade are being OPP
ened up. and It is possible that one
result Of the war will be a greater
aggregate of international commerce
thsu ever before.

the heavy volure OF business that
is being handled. particularly in the
United States. The feeling seems to
be that II is better to move cautious.

DEFEAT FOR TALCO1T
Eliminated in First Match
Round for Siamese Cup.
TUCkERMAN HARD PUSHED

The first round of play in the annual
competition for the Siamese cup at the
Chevy Chase Club yesterday afternoon
found one of the two-time winners
eliminated. e. M Taleott, who had
annexed the trophy twice before, was
defeated by H. r. Dulany, jr.. by 2-1.
Two extra-hole contests featured the
first round. Walter r. Tuckerman, who
also has two legs on the trophy, was
forced to go twenty-five holes to COM
pass the defeat of ]. ]. Hamilton. Tuck
erman's handicap is 4, while that of
Hamilton is IS. When the contestants
finished all square at the eighteenth
hole Tuckerman had to give his op-
ponent stroke every other hole, thus
making at least two, extra holes neces-
sary to a decision. Hamilton won the
first hole with his stroke, but Tucker
man annexed the second. The third
was halved and Tuckerman won the
short fourth to win the match.
J. Donald Cassels defeated Hughes
Oliphant in another twenty-five hole
battle. In this case, after halving the
first two holes, Cassels won both the
twenty-first and twenty-second to win
the match up.
Samuel Dalzell produced the fastest
brand of golf when in his defeat of
John s. Larcombe, jr., he was out, in
AZ and back in SO, to win by 5-3, ow.
ing to his great golf on the last nine
holes. He was but up at the turn.
One of the finest matches of the year
is promised. this afternoon when Dali
zell and Tuckerman meet in the second
round.

play whale of a game against the
Tigers, but 1t is not likely that 1t will
win.
Dartmouth won the first time from
Princeton in 1905, the score being s to
0. The Tigers turned the tables the
following year and got the long end
OF a 42-to-0 count. Dartmouth won
to o. With the exception of the 6-to-
s tie in 1909, Princeton has been the
victor in the other years. In 1914 the
Tigers barely won, though, the result
completely swamped the New England
ers after the latter had been conceded
practically an even chance for victory.
This week Dartmouth again would
have gone to Princeton on practically
the same footing with the Tigers had
it not been for the unexpected turn of
things a few days ago, when George
town proved to be the first stumbling
block in the way of championship as
pirations.

is not a particular star in carrying the
ball. but is a splendid punter and drop
kicker. He also runs a team well,
directing his plays much better than
the ordinary quarterback.
