MIDDIES GET GAME.
Naval Academy Eleven to Entertain
Sailors from Norfolk Base

Annapolis, Md, Oct. 10.-After
strenuous efforts the management
OF the Naval Academy football team
has been able to secure an opponent
for Saturday in the eleven of the
naval operation base team of Nor
folk. Va. The game will open the
local season. 1t is understood the
sailors have a strong aggregation,
including some big college stars.
The Academy team will be far
from presenting its great strength,
as well over half the squad is in
capacitated by the effects of the
"hu Butler and Roberts are the
only backs in shape. and hardly a
regular line man is really fit for
play. However, Doble will put as
strong a team as possible on the

PIT SUSPENDS
TO AID LOAN
Loan Rally Speeches Add
Stimulus to
Trading.

New York, Oct. 10-With the ex-
ception of Mexican Petroleum and
Mercantile Marine preferred. both of
which were very active and strong,
the stock market was fairly steady
today with a few net advances, and
some net losses. U. s. Steel acted as
though it had been oversold by pro-
fessionals. The war stocks were all
stronger. and there was good accu-
mutation in those that are distinc-
lively peace issues.
Corn had another weak market,
new low levels being made in some
options followed by recoveries on
technical grounds only.
When Mexican Petroleum touched
129 rs yesterday, it reached the high
est price at which 1t had ever sold,
and caught some clever profession
ais on the wrong side of the market.
Texns OIL Stronger.
Texas Oil had a sharp advance also,
but that is a developed company, and
its assets are well known and ac-
knowledged by even the traders. The
company has recently developed ex-
tensive sulphur deposits which will
be Of great value should the war last
and of considerable value anyhow.
Continental Can moved UP more
than three points, and American Can
was well bought. These stocks are
near the top OF the peace list for
many reasons. Their heaviness now
is hard TO explain on any other the
ory than that the insiders do not hap
pen to be holding many shares. That
is also probably the reason for L. S.
Steers peculiar action.
Steel Tonnage Announced.
U S. Steel announced today that
untitled orders on its books were
46l. .137 tons less on Oct l than on
Sept. l. The volume of tonnage is a
matter of no consequence, because
there will be more tonnage than the
company can fill whether of war or
peace material.
Earnings of the steel companies as
class will bear watching the last
half of this year because OF recent
advances OF wages and freight rate
increases. Earnings thus far reported
do not justify the hope of any i'm
provement over the figures OF last
year. The thing for investors to con-
slider is whether prices OF stocks have
not been discounted not only smaller
actual earnings but the much smaller
amounts that will be left after pay
ment of taxes.
Strength of tobacco stocks is due to
the fact that as a class they have
made very material gains in earnings
over the 1917 figures. American To-
bacco was leader in the advances of
the tobaccos today.
The rise of the afternoon was helped
by the speeches for which trading was
suspended seventeen minutes. During
that interval orders accumulated and
when business was resumed the mar
keN became so buoyant that interest
was sustained till the close.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Battling Nelson,
