FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET Prices Were Depressed, Although the
 Losses Were Small.

New York, Sept. 15.-A diminished
 demand for stocks today led to re-
 sumption of speculative selling, and prices were again depressed. although l losses in most instances were small. Trading was light and the disappear ] ance of the strength which charac- i terfzed yesterdays market was due | less to aggressive bearish tactics than | to absence of support. Total sales | were 190,000 shares. 1 At the opening price changes were l small and irregular. The bears moved with caution and made little effort to influence the course of prices until it became apparent that few buying or ders were on hand. Stocks then came on the market in greater supply and the list eased off Quotations stiff ered temporarily in the second hour, hat the rally was not held and the close was heavy.
 The renewed heaviness of the mar ket apparently was due principally to professional selling; although the days news contributed to this end. Petrograd despatches indicating that new complications had arisen in the Russian political situation. reports of the presence of a hostile submarine in the western Atlantic, and reports that industrial taxation would be largely increased tended to depress the market.
 The chief weakness appeared in the coppers, steels and 9 few other indus trials. The motors were relatively strong In the railroad sections op-
 erat1ons were light and movements
 small. Reading, Louisville and Ches-
 apeake & Ohio showed strength.

 Boston, by winning three, losing three and tieing one. failed to keep up with Chicago. and it's chances of overtaking the White SoX grew dim rler. Against Washington the Red SoX won and lost two, in addition to playing a 16 inning l to 1 tie on Wednesday. New York's opposition was not so strong and the American runners up won two out of the three games. Cleveland increased it's lead over Detroit and gained on the Red Sox by winning four out of six two of the victories being over Detroit and two over St. Louis. Against the Tigers today. the Indians were tri- unphant by s to f.

The B1oomer Girls of New York met the All Norwich team on the Falls grounds Sunday and were defeated by a score of 7-5. Both teams played snappy ball and the girls surprised their most ardent admirers by their splendid playing and 1adylike conduct. both on and off the field. The largest crowd that ever attended a ball game on the Falls diamond was present. It was estimated about two thousand five hundred people. The All Norwich team played their usual fast game and ] they were compelled to go at all times. They had their usual lineup pendents last Sunday. The teams made two errors each and these were ex- cusabIe.
 The B1oomer Girls are a bunch of letic organization of New ork city and most of them are teachers in their particular line.
 Toots Andres. the girl pitcher. pitched two innings and then played shortstop. She made two hits and was responsible for scoring the two first runs for the girls. Estelle Friss at first played fine game. Rose Kane at left made nice catch of a hard hit fly. The girls were aug mented by Bunk Walsh and Joe Vince Ter of the local team. Walsh caught a good game as he always does. They were no really star features on the All Norwich team. in fact they all held up to their reputation.
 The crowd was very good natured and the girls were the recipients of lot of good natured joshing which was retorted in a friendly way.
 Next Sunday the All Norwich team will play the New London Independ- ents the second game, Norwich win ming the first. 7-6.
