FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
WAR STOCKS STRONG.
Dealings Were Influenced by Uneer- tainty of the international Situation.

New York, Feb. 7.-The conflicting and shifting movements attendant up- on today's operations were in them selves evidence of the increasing un- certainties arising from the inter national situation.
 Shares of the numerous companies which are likely to derive additional revenues from the sale of war products were again brought forwar| while rails evinced greater heaviness on the recurrence of liquidation commonly accepted as emanating from Teutonic sources. This view was heightened by the weakness of Canadian Pacific, former favorite of the Berlin bOurse, which made a gross decline og 6 1-2 to 14S. it's lowest price in almost two years.
 Shares of the "Soo" road. a Canadian Pacific subsidiary, yielded s points, tinentals. grangers. coalers and some of the southern division. Minor rails were in light demand, with fresh weakness in New Haven.
 SpecialtieS were at their best during the early part of the session, losing virtually all their advantage on the later reversal in rails. United States Steel closed at a net loss of 38 points after having shown an actual gain of practically a point.
 Changes in other industrials, coppers and various uEclaSsified issues were greater, forenoon advances of 3 to points being substituted by net loSS- es of one to three points, all the ac- tivity of the last hour being on the down scale. Total sales amounted to 935. 900 shares.
 The extraordinary strength of ex- change rates on Berlin, cables advanc- ing 70 1-8 in the afternoon. as against yesterdays rate of 67 1-S, seemed con firmatory of the report that German interests were selling securities here and remftting the proceeds home. Vii enna exchange hardened sympatheti- calfy and Sterling. slightly easier at the outset, made complete recovery.
 International bonds were again ir-- regular on the new low record made by. United Kingdom15 1-2's of 1921. Total sales (par value) aggregated s3,- 0,o0o.
 United States governments also nov ed uncertainty, the 4's advancing 1-2 per cent and Panama 3's declining that much.

Boston, Feb 7-The Boston National league club has obtained options on eight players who are members Of clubs of Al classification and is seek ing five more as means of recruiting a team in the event of a strike by members of the Baseball Players Fra ternity, President Percy D. Haughton announced tonight. The men upon whom options have been closed and money paid are among the best in minor league ranks, he said. In each instance delivery of the player has been guaranteed
 The decision of the Boston Nation als to take this measure to oppose the strike was decided upon Jointly by Manager George T. Stallings and President Haughton, it was stated. The Braves manager is now on his way north. It is understood he will make an effort to regain the services of Vincent Campbell. an o11tfielder, and Frank Schmidt, first basenan, both former members of the team, now en- gagged inyebusiness at Baltimore.
 The Boston club to date has the contracts of only eight members of the team, although four others have agreed to terms. No player will be taken to the spring camp unless he has signed, the club president assert cd

IFoLWELL MAY GET SALARY fNcREAsE
Football Committee to Meet soon-Re-
 store Coach consuIts sinIsier.

Although FolwelPs name was placed again on the list of eligibles for the football tess, he will nevertheless have to be passed on by the football committee and the board of directors
 before he is officially appointed as coach There is. however, no question that he will be selected, as the foot ball committee to man is strong for
 Folwell and appears to be perfectly
 willing to grant him substantial in crease in salary to retain him, but just how much is not certain.
 Fighting Bob" was out to Franklin Field recently and had a personal in- terview with Major Pickering, the been a staunch supporter of Fo1weH. In the morning Wharton Sinkler chairman of the football committee, and Folwell were closeted together and undoubtedly talked over the salary question for next fall. The football committee will have to meet some time the latter part of this week or on next Monday as the board of directors final ratification of the coach. Sink Ter has not as yet set any definite date for this meeting.
 The undergraduates are jubliant over the outcome of this controversy, as they give Folweu all credit for the wonderful showing made by the Red and Blue team during the last season. If there had not been such an amica- Die SelIienent or the case there IS no doubt but that the entire undergradu- ate body to man would have risen up and declared themselves in favor of F'ofwell and demanded a radical change in the appointing power. How ever, all is peaceful now and the stu dents have settled down to their old routine which was so completely de- mora1ized at the start of this contro- versy.
 All the football men are pleased at the outcome and give the entire credit to Captain Miller who from the start heartily endorsed F'olwell. Lou" Lit and adenoids removed is getting along fine at the University hospital and eX- poets to be out in a couple of days. Little suffered a great deal during the football season and finally decided to have them removed.

STRIKING PLAYERS TO
 BE SUSPENDED
Owners Believe Contracts Offered Are
 Fair.

While all of the club owners in the National and American leagues will treat with their respective players as l individuals 1t is known that the own CTS have agreed that there is to be no leniency in dealing with the situation l that the demands of the players are to be met only so far as they are con sidered reasonable, and that the threatened strike is not to be consid- cred in the guise of a club to make the owners accede to the demands of the players.
 The club owners are of the opinion that the contracts they have offered their ball players are fair and that the terms stated therein are as high as they can go in paying salaries un- der existing conditions. They have determined to put it squarely up to the players-they can either accept them or leave them-
 It is further understood that all the players who are not in line when the
 big league seasons open on April 12 and who have not good excuses for their failure to be in line shall be
 blacklisted. Of course club owners will not make statements to this eff feet. but it is reported that such is their intention.
 This means that all players, regard less of their ability. who have not for duty by the time the season opens will be punished by indefinite suspen- sion. Practically all of the clubs have made arrangements to fill any vacan- cies in their ranks with minor league players who have applied for posi- tions. The Brooklyn club is one of the hardest hit. but Charles Ebbets has asserted that his terms are final and that if his players do not care to accept them he will engage other players to perform for his club.
 The fact that so many of the star players fare either under contract for this year or have signed new contracts is regarded as a sign that the back bone of the threatened strike is broken and that nothing serious will come of it. However, the owners are deter mined that striking players will be se- verely punished by indefinite suspen- siOn
