FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS NARROW.
United States Steel Was the Most Ae'
tive Issue in the List.

New York, Jan. 15.-Prices tended
moderately upward today, but trading
was very narrow and the turnover
about 100000 shares-was SO small as
were mostly limited to erstwhile ia
voriteS, except rails, which were dull
at all times, tha only feature in that
division being a IA point advance in
Long Island, usually one of the most
inactive issues in the entire list.
u. s.. Steel, which again furnished
its customary, large percentage to the
days operations, rose 1 IA points, but
closed at net gain of ga of point.
Other industrials. equipments and mu-
nitions moved within circumscribed
limits, except Harvester Corporation
(the foreign company which made a
belated advance of IL points.
An extreme recovery of 1-2 points
from last Saturdays setback was rec
orded by u. S. Rubber on more def
mite explanation of the company's
dividend policy in connection with the
new bond issue, but Central Leather
was heavy with Gulf States Steel, Oils,
General Motors and Mackay COM
panies.
Metals as group were firm to
strong. being sustained by higher quo
current advances in such by-products
as lead and spelter. Some large
domestic orders for copper, running
into the second quarter of the year,
were said to be under consideration.
Developments over the weekend
especially the very favorable bank
statement, which caused a shading in
time accommodations, were among the
factors making for more cheerful
speculative sentiment. The uncertain
ties Of the international situation were
indicative by slight easing of sterling
and heaviness in rates on Berlin and
Vienna, neither, however approaching
recent low figures.
Western railway terminals reported
larger tonnage in consequence of the
lifting Of eTnbargoes and an increase in
available equipment. Firmness of in
ternational issues contributed to the
better tone of the bond market. Total
sales (par value) aggregated $5175, 900.
u. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

During the current week a fairly

other members of the frat, is mum on

On Thursday 1t is expected that
F'uItz himself will go to Boston for the
purpose of holding a confab with such
major league players as are residing In
the city and are members Of the fra

that long distance rowing and running
are very injurious to health; this
opinion, of course, being based on cas-
ual observation OF participants IN such
sports at the finish Of competitions.
The opinions of participants in such
competitions and statistics made by
experts from the life histories OF par
pear to bear out the opinion that such
sports are harmful There Is not
enough accurate evidence on either
eide, however, to justify the commit
tee in making communications re-
garding this matter, but the commit
tee feels that more study should be
given to this question, especially IN
view of the fact that common expert
ence would indicate that any pro-
longed and violent exercise is harmful

view are as yet based upon the exc
perience of a comparatively small

NEW PHASE IN BASEBALL STRIFE
President David l. Fuz Has Had Conference With Samuel
Gompers-Ban johnson Believes Players VIII Not
Garry Out Their Strike Intention

New York, Jan. 15.-A new phase OF
| the threatened strike of the Baseball
| players Fraternity developed here
late today when it was learned thai
| Samuel Gompers, president of the
| American Federation of Labor, and
President David L. Fultz of the play
ers's organization, had been in con-
ference relative to the proposed action
of the fraternity members in refusing
to sign 1917 baseball contracts until
the minor league n1agnate should
grant requests made by the players
Just as he was leaving for Wash
ington, Gompers admitted that he had
been in conference with Fultz several
times within the past few weeks and
that the latest conversation occurred
today. When asked If the fraternity
was a member Of the labor federation,
he replied:
mot yet, but soon I expect"
ct have been in close touch" he
continued. with the officers of the
Baseball Players Fraternity for some
little time now, and while the players
organization is not affiliated with us
as yet ! am in full sympathy with
their requests and action and they
have my moral support. am deeply
interested In the welfare of the ball
players and they will have my sup
port in any action that they may see
fit to take in order to better existing
conditions. This Is all that care to
say at this time"
President b. B. Johnson of the
American League, arrived late today
from Chicago being delayed by a
heavy snowstorm. He said he had
come to attend the meeting of the
schedule committees and expected to
remain several days The American
League executive said he did not care
to talk about the playersS proposed
strike bat that If 1t feventuated, the
American League had enough players
under contract to start, the season and
that others would be secured to fill
any vacancies that might exist.
'T do not Think he said s'that the
players of the major leagues will car
~ their contentious SO far as to strike
but If they do we win. be prepared to
meet the emergency and will go right
on playing baseball as usual. I am
of the opinion that if the major
leagues do strike 1T will be a viola
ton Of the agreement made with the
fraternity at Cincinnati several sea-
sons ago and such action will virtually
cancel the compact and absolve the
club owners from the terms of that
agreement"

favor of the plan to divide the pro-
ceeds Of the players share of the orld

Der of the pair into the gutter or on
