New York, Feb, 16.-With meetings
Of the American league and the Ma
tional commission in this city tomor-
row and Friday and a special session.
called by President Gilmore, to wind
up the affairs Of the Federal sleague.
at Chicago, ON Saturday. the annual
winter season devoted to major league
baseball legislation will probably close
this week.
Last week the American league was
compelled to postpone its regular
meeting at which the coming seasons
playing schedule, was to have been
adopted. The delay was caused by
the unsettled condition of the Cleve-
land clubs affairs. The sale of that
club yesterday has cleared the way for
the schedule matters and it is believ-
ed that President Ban B. Johnson on
his arrival here will make public the
names Of the men who have invested
capital in the Cleveland club.
AS was the case when the National
League had its session here last week
American League club owners will be
called upon to welcome new repre-
sentatives of two clubs in their midst
President Ball, who recently purchas-
ed the st. Louis Browns, will make his
formal entry to the Junior major
league and the principal stock owner
of the Cleveland club will in all like
lihood be on hand for a similar pur-
pose.
Reported Red Sox For Sale.
There has been some talk recently
of the Boston Red Sox being on the
market, but President Lanning with
his many business interests in other
commercial lines still has a deep af-
lection for the Boston Americans and
it would probably require very
tempting offer to induce him to sever
connections with his worlds cham
pions.
Several TaneIes to Be UnraveIIed.
The National commission session
promises to be a very busy one. Sew
eral tangled skeins of the Federal
League yarn have to be unravelled, not
the least being the Baltimore difficulty,
in which President Barrow of the In

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
STOCK PRICES DEPRECATED.
Selling Was More Obviously of Pro-
fessionaI Character.

New York, Feb. 16.-Increased pres
sure was brought to bear on the stock
market today, with further deprecia-
ticu Of values. Selling was more OBJ
viously of professional character,
with here and there a springling of
lioUiGation. Declines were orderly,
however, except in a few isolated in
stances, where prices yielded precipi-
lately.
The markets failure to respond to
good news, which was not altogeth-
er lacking, seemed to result more
from its technical weakness or over
eX ended position on the bull side tt an
f:n1n apprehension concerning :npead-
ing events. Announcement that Wash
ington had received Berlin's reply in
the Iusltania matter was accepted
W .th mild interest and other advices
bearing upon the international sitca-
ii IN eXciteG little attention.
Canadian Pacific and shares of 9TH
err companies operating in the Domin-
ion were conspicuously weak in
Consequence of the heavy war tax
which it is proposed to levy on cor
porations in that country. Canadian
made an extreme decline of 5 ga at
1876 1-2. Domes Mines lost 6 IA at
% 1-6 CRANKY Consolidated fell
ga to % ga and International Nickel
lost ga at 46.
Mexican issues, especially Mexican
and California Petroleuns, Texas com
pany and American Smelling were
heavy to weak on reports affecting tho
stability of the existing government
in the southern republic and American
Tobacco, the motor and Mackay COM
panies were 8 to 5 points lower on
disappointing dividend prospects. Rails
in general registered only moderate
losses. but U. S. Steel denoted unceas-
ing pressure, while the active war is
sues, with the noteworthy exception of
Crucible Steel, were I to 8 points
down. but still well above minimum
of last month. Coppers as a class gave
good account of themselves until the
final hour. Weakness prevailed at the
close. Total sales aggregated 100000
