MARKET WAS coNFUEp,

 Rather more noteworthy than either of these movements. however, was the confident inquiry for rails, including sorptionl,, of those issues was again ascribed to excellent statements of earnings.
 Among the erstwhile war brides" further reactions of one to four points were witnessed and L. $. Steel never popularly regarded as a war stock, made an extreme decline of three points on a very large turnover.
 Oils. which dominated yesterdays session with their substantial ad- vances, were under constant pressure reacting two to six points.
 ShippinSs, motors, coppers and vari- ous miscellaneous shares contributed apprecia5iy to the general strength of the list until the final hour, when U. $. Steel was a it's minimum and rails forfeited much if not all of their early advance, the market closing with a heavy tone. Sales amounted to S60 900 shares.
 About the only direct reflection of latest war developments was furnish ed by the further weakness on neutral exchange, rates on Holland and SwitZ- erland again sagging.

IRON WORKERS DEFEAT
 LAKE SUBMARINES

LANE 0O6mAntNE E0
 Before gathering that numbered at least 200, the Groton Iron Works baseball team defeated the Lake Sub marine team of Bridgeport at Plant field Sunday afternoon by a score of l to 0. The game was one well worth while, in one of the most inter esting that has been negotiated at New Londons parlor park in many day. Fred Rieger, the ex-Planter, in top-notch form, handled the grenade for the Iron Workers, and pitched a masterly game, giving an exhibition of practically alright hurling with the exception of two innings, that resem- bled his premier efforts when the mer- cury was making goo goo eyes at the 90 mark during the good old sum mer time. As it was he held the Park City bunch of slhggers down to five hits, all being hallma:Hed single. There wasn't a run in the works until the last half of the eighth inning when the Iron men chalked up a sin gle figure by a combination of oppor tune hitting and wild heave to first That was the only run of the game
 It was an ideal day for baseball and if it had not been gasless Sun day and there had been more effective means of reaching Plant field, it is more than probable that a crowd of 500 to 900 would have been on deck. But there was a shortage of cars, due to the prevailing epidemic and the consequent illness of car crews.
