FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
METAL STOCKS
 FEATURED MARKET Leading Coppers Made Gains of One to Five Points.

New York, Jan. 9.-Metals were the most active and as a group, the strong est features of today's 1istless market, leading coppers recording gross gains
 of one to five points on revival of
 rJr1ors suggesting a combination of several of the largest producing com
 panies and their subsidiaries.
 The other side of the account was represented by motors and few kin dred issues. A further decline of 14 IA points in the new shares of the General Motors Company was general ly attributed to disappointment at the small dividend voted by the directors Some of this loss was recovered in the later dealings. when the market was at it's best.
 Rails were more prominent than re- gently. but largely at the expense of
 quoted VaIueS. New Haven yielded 3
 3-4 points on a combination of poor
 earnings and labor difficulties and
 Atchison fell three points on the fail
 ure of the directors to increase the pre-
 vailing dividend. Canadian Pacific,
 it's subsidiary "Soo'' and St. Paul were
 lower by one to two points and the new
 pr>erred shares of St. Louis and San Francisco dropped almost 10 points on
 very few transa ctions.
 The movement of United States Steel and other leading industrialc as well as equipments and munitions, had it's basis chiefly in speculative opera tions. Steel made an extreme gain of 1 I-Z a1Ier an early pefIOd or 1FleSu- Iarity and Nova Scotia St<el lost 14 points. The United States Steel ton mage report for December, to be issued tomorrow, is expected to approach the high record established in the previous month.
 Favorable trade conditions, includ- ing additional price advances for the crude product. accounted for the furth- CT strength of oils at gains of 1-2 to 8 points, Isolated advances Of two to six points were made by other speciaIties of mixed character Dealings were broader and slightly larger, amounting to 625, 900 shares.
 Bonds moved contrarily, strength in railroad issues being neutraHzed by the l heavy offerings of internationals, no tably Anglo French fives and United Kingdom serials particularly the 5 1-2's. Total sales (par va1ue) aggre- 1 gated s7,050,0

VALE BASEBALL PROSPECTS

Coach Lauder Has Good Material to
 Work With.

Yale's hopes for a good baseball feam have often scared high before
 he men took the field lTa the spring. On paper Yale has looked good but there usually has been a reversal of form, and the Yale nine has gone the way of many of its predecessors of late years. Last years team was torn to pieces because of the now famous QuoQue incident, which barred Harry Le1fore, Rhett, Capt. MiIburn and SEencer Pumpelly, but of this quartet for this years team.

He was a whirlwind. 1 wanted my old friend. Frank Selee, of the Boston team, to get Lajoie's ser vices, but Selee apparently didn't have the athority to act in the matter. and after waiting what I considered a req Bonable time, I turned him over 10 the Philadelphia Nationals He was the best all around player that ever lived, in my opinion"
 MT. Marston had L-ajoie's contract framed and on exhibition until a cou- pie of years ago, when LeJoie called and asked as a personal favor that the document be given to him. Re gretfully Marston complied.
 Lajoie played for q years, and his batting average for 20 years was .34}. His best mark was in 1901. when he batted .422 as a member of the CleVc- land team.-Bob Paradis in Lowell Courier Citizen.

day speeches were limited to few minutes. There was evident a spirit Of bitterness on the part of many sen ators and a feeling of tension that was only broken a few times when amendments were offered or sugges- tions made that the senate and the galleries thought humorous. The crowd was particularly pleased with an amendment proposed by Senator Maritime to forbid the use or manu- facture of tobacco in any form in the District. There were loud laughs when it was read by the clerk and once again when, after Senator Reed had made a technical point against it. the New Jersey senator remarked T know you're against it. you chew to- bacco."
 Gallery Was Crowded.
 During the several hours after the bill automatically came up and be- fore the vote was taken every seat in every gallery except that reserved for the diplomatic corps was filled, and scores were standing or sitting in the aisles. About half the spectators were women.
 Crowd AppIauded Final Vote.
 The crowd made only one real dem o..ztt-ration, that of hearty approval when the final vote was announced.

 First Saw Note in Newspapers.
 His first knowledge of the presidents note came to him, MT. Baruch said, in the newspapers of Dec. 21. He denied absolutely the story that he conferred with Secretary Tumulty, and said he had no knowledge of "A. Curtis whose signature was affixed to tho letter on which Representative Wood based most of his assertions before the committee.
 Departing from the direct line of the investigation, Cairman Henry said:
 Suppose congress should pass law requiring all these stock ex changes to be incorporated and re- quiring that all transactions be made a matter of public record, would that not have a good effect?''
 "I do not think SOL the witness re- piled. "As it is today, every transac- tion is recorded and must be. I do not see what could be gained.'

 Sabin corroborates Lawson.
 Sabin frankly corroborated a story told by Lawson to the effect that in October he called representatives of New York newspapers to his office and told them that he had reason to be- lieve that the German government was about to ask President Wilson to sug- gest peace to the allies. This inforna- tion, he said, came to him through sources not connected with the United States government and he gave it out because he felt that the country was feet such a move would have on the affairs of the nation. He denied that he was impelled in any way to make the move by stock market holdings, declaring he never had sold share of stock short in his life and was not in the market on the day the leak is supposed to have occurred
 Otto Kahn Testified Briefly.
 Otto Kahn, of Kahn, Loeb & com pany, who was called at the sugges- tion of Representative Wood, read into the record a statement denying that leak or that he ever had sold short in his life. He was excused after tes- tifying briefly.
 Allan Curtis of Boston. called by the committee on a suggestion that he might be the "A Curtis'' who wrote to Representative Wood, occupied the stand long enough to deny that he was the writer He wrote his signature for the committee that it mihgt be com pared with that of the unidentified informant" and then left the stand Bill Designed to Punish Those Who

LAJoFE's DEBUT
Charley Marston of Fall River Sign ed Frenchman for $10o a Month in 18o6

The retirement of Larry Iajoie from big league baseball was one of the gloomy features of the season of 1916. Lajoie was slipping badly, and real fzed the fact. He got out gracefully. Now, he is mentioned as d manager lal aspect, though there is nothing de- finite announced as to his plans.
 Lajoie made his debut back in 1896 with the Fall River team, then man aged by Charlie Marston. The last time the writer saw Mar5ton was in Marston's hotel in Tiverton, just out side of Fall River. and our chat had to do principally with Lajoie's debut
 Marston said he learned of "a big Frenchman employed about a livery stable down in Woonsocket who could hit anything passed up to him." and acting on the tip. he went post haste to present a contract for the players s signature. The contract was duly sign ed. It called for about S101 a. month Lajoie arrived in Fall River one day before a league game, and was given uniform. He had on the yellowest looking shoes ever seen in a ball yard and as there was no time to provide substitutes, he went out in the field thus equipped.
 Marston recalled the whaling La joie gave the ball that afternoon. sThere was only one trouble with

PROSPECTS FOR BIG
CROP OF WHEAT IN

FARMERS WILL SOW A BIGGER
ACREAGE THAN HAD BEEN
EXPECTED.
MOST ALL WILL FOLLOW COAN
Recent Rains Have Proven Of Ines
timable Value to the Second Crop
Of Irish Potatoes-Much Corn Stow
err Being Saved.

While Maury county farmers are not
going to SOW as much wheat as the
government had hoped they would, in
dications now are that the acreage is
going to be much larger than expect
ed a month ago. Weather conditions
are ideal for the preparation of the
land and considering the governments
guarantee of 81 bushel for the crop
next year the price of seed wheat is
reasonable.
When eighty cents was about all
that the farmers could count on for
their crop in the past they did not
hesitate to pay as much as SIPS a
bushel for good seed. Therefore, with
\ guarantee Of 50 seed wheat at $2.75
or even more would not be excessive.
Most of the wheat in the county this
year will follow corn. The exception
ally heavy acreage of corn makes this
necessary. Farmers have cut an un-
usually large amount of corn stover
