FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL
Dealings Were Marked by a Lack of
Public Interest.

New York, April 3.-Stocks opened
the week with a wide variety of gains
which embraced almost every part Of
the list except the more potential in
vestment issues. Rails were barely
steady and occasionally heavy, New
York Central suffering another tenn
porary setback.
Trading was of the same desultory
character as that which attended the
major operations of, the preceding
month. A further lack of public in
terest was noted, but this was partly
counter balanced by greater activity
in well known speciaIties, such as
Crucible Steel and American Locomo-
tive in the war group, the motors, SUI
gars and distilling issues. Shares of
the silver producing companies also
doomed into prominence on the con-
tinued advance in that metal which
rose to 81 ga cents an ounce, its max
imum price since the outbreak of the
war.
Kennecott and Miami coppers were
elevated to record quotations at 50 and

cialties with gains of one to three

pressed at the outset, but moved up

EASTERN LEAGUE
ALMOST IN SHAPE.
Lining Up of Lowell and New Haven
Clubs Puts Better Appearance on the
Circuit-Meet This Week.

With the New Haven baseball fran
chise in the hands of men who intend
to put a good team into that city. and
the Lowell team under the leadership
of Harry Lord, the only cloud that
hangs over the Eastern league horizon
is caused by the Bridgeport and Wor-
cester situation.
In Bridgeport, John Freeman, the
owner of the club. is looking for a
purchaser, although reports credit him
with being willing to run the Park
City affairs another season II he can
not find someone who is anxious to
take over the job. In Worcester. it is
understood that a park has been Sc
cured, but the agreement still lacks a
signature or so. which will be forth
coming in the near future.
Wednesday the baseball moguls from
New Haven, Lynn, Lowell. Lawrence,
Worcester. Bridgeport, New London.
Portland, Hartford and Springfield are
expected to assemble at Worcester to
select n playing schedule from the
number that will be submitted by those
anxious to land the 800 prize offered.
If there should prove to be a large
number of these, the question will
probably be referred to a committee
for decision and the schedule adopted
at the next following session.

who are outside the boundaries that
would include those cities between

Plans for the opening meet on the
Sheepshead Bay speedway, May 13,
call for four events. The most con-

in determining the championship for
the year, as the association will do
under it's new plan. Prizes for the
race will amount to $4,000, divided
into seven places from $4,000 to $500.
The other events will be a 5O-mile
Queens cup race for which $4,000 will
be awarded in five prizes: the 20-mile
Coney Island cup with $500 for five
places, and the 10-mile Brooklyn hand
leap for Eon-winners, the prize being
the William Kemble cup and $1,000.
Anyone who does not take a prize in
the three previous races can compete
in this event. Another feature that
may be arranged for the opening day
is a 10-mile match race between the
three fastest cars in the world.

and drivers, and elimination trials will
siN out the slow ones. A non-com-
petitive programme will be staged al
