FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

New York, Oct 4-In it's chief characteristics, today's stock market presented no new features of interest. Shares likely to be adversely affected by an early termination of the war again denoted pressure, in contrast to the strength of many other issues.
 Backwardness of rails again was disappointing and combined with the heaviness of U. s. Steel detracted to no small extent from what otherwise afforded a substantial basis for a for ward movement of wide proportions

 Speculative commitments by trad CTS again comprehended for the most part shippings, oils, motors, copDers, tobaccos, sugars and numerous util1- ties, the latter group probably deriv- ing their strength from the better out look for financial assistance.

MAJOR BASEBALL TO
 HAVE OFFICIAL END

Major league baseball in so far as it concerns the National league, will be officially terminated at the annual meeting of the association to be held in New York on December 10. At the gathering the senior organization will formally wind up the business affairs of the season just closed and enter upon a hiatus which will re- main undisturbed until such time as international affairs appear to war rant revical of the professional end of the national game.
 This, at least, is the intention of the owners at the present time, aud nothing short of a most sensational change in the war status within the next two months will cause a shift in the plans of the league.
 It requires a. long period of prep aration and much detail work prior to the opening of each pennant race, and it is recognized that in the pres ent unsettled state of baseball af- fairs it would be impossible to re- new the opera tion of the circuit without ample time in which to for mulate plans.
 Players of the various teams will be scattered to the four points of the compass and some of the baseball parks will have been adapted to other forms of business.

 He pointed out the importance of discarding everything non-essential for those things which are in line of war training and expressed his belief ir the necessity for athletics which have been demonstrated at training camps as providing recreation in its most healthful form.
 In a formal statement yesterday Professor Corwin said in part:
 "The war department ilas assigned to colleges and universities the task of discovering and developing officer material for the United States army. This new task will involve radical and far reaching changes in most matters which concern college life. The need is pressing and the work must be in tensive *

 only few days ago s535 was realized for the Red Cross. The Kansas State shoot was held at Camp Fun ston and $2,000 was realized for the Red Cross All the work on this tournament was done by enlisted men. There will be a Red Cross event in the Pinehurst tournament in January and the Philadelphia Trapshooters League has decided to give a half cent on every target thrown to the Red Cross. Last year this league threw 172,0O tar gets.
 There is considerable talk about the organization of professional trapshooting teams touring the country for the benefit of the Red Cross. It is hoped this idea will be put through. It is a big thing and should attract considerable money for the greatest of all war charities.
