FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
THE UNCERTAIN MOOD
Of Professional Operators Resulted il
 Partial Cancellation.

New York, Aug. G-The stock mar ket today reflected the more uncer- tain mood of professional operators, yesterdays late advance being partly cancelled.
 Traders apparently deemed it ad- visable to adopt a more conservative course in view of the notice issued by the local federal reserve bank urging financial institutions to conserve cred it's
 On the surface this admonition was without material effect, money rates holding at recent quotations It was generally believed, however, that time funds may soon be entirely withdrawn from the market for other than pro- ductive- purposes.
 Business JSs broader and more ac- tive than on the previous day, but noteworthy movements were again re- stricted to .specialties. General Mo- tors was a notable instance, advanc- ing an extreme of 1-2 points Su- matra Tobacco was less in evidence, yielding a small part of yesterdays gain.
 U. S. Steel made it's best price at the opening. repeating it's recent max imum of 110. but reacting 1 1-4 points, with only nominal rally.
 Independent Steels and the active equipments lost one to 1 1-2 points, shippings about as much and oils about one point.
 Rails were in the back ground un- til the final hour. when Reading and St. Paul developed moderate activity. Sales amounted to 245, 900 shares.
 The bond market was mixed, in ternationals showing a stronger trend, while domestic issues eased irregular ly. Total sales (par value) aggregated $6,525,000
 Old U. s. issues were unchanged on call.

CHINESE LEARNING TO SHOOT.
By Peter p. Carney
Editor National Sports Syndicate.


 A Trapshooting tournament that was novel and, to say the least, unique, was recently conducted by the Edge water Gun Club, of Toledo O. It was an international affair in which 15 nations were represented, or in other words IS overseas countries.
 Any organization that can get Ger mans and English together these days with guns in their hands without shooting each other undertakes a big task, but that is what the Toledo Gun Club did and got away with it in fine shape. Squads of five men represented each of these countries: England, Ger many, France, Ireland, Hungary, Aus tria, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Russia, Greece, Scotland and China, and there was one delegation that didn't have a flag, a Hebrew team.
 Don't overlook the mention of China having a team in the cosmopolitan competition. Very few can reconcile a Chinaman with a gun, but the "chinks'' were there. It was no doubt the first time Chinese team ever ap- peared before the traps. The Celestials, all young men, were quick to learn the ways of the greatest American sport. The Chinese squad was on the pro- gram as the Mandarin Gun Squad, and was comprised of John Slew, Edward
 Aota Henry Yee, Henry Get and Lewis l Quong. At 25 targets each their scores were: Slew, 14 broken; Get, s; Yee and Quong, z each, and Kota, 6. They are members of the Edgewater Gun 1 Club.
 | As far as we could ascertain all the shooting was confined to the regulation l attacks upon the 'blue rocks" but the l spectators, if not the contestants, must now and then have had in mind the 1 possibilities of an interchange of hos ! tiGties in imitation of the all-comers' i grappel on the other side of the pond, but the influence of trapshooting is all ways towards peace and good fellow ship.
 The Edgewater Club in this many nationalities shoot provided an attrac- l tion such as Americans never before witnessed, and drew an immense audi ence, but the greatest thing they did was to demonstrate the fundamental democracy of America, and it may be that trapshooting will act always as a rallying point around which this demo- cracy may continually be exempu- l fed.

Pres. Tener Resigns From National League
Rendered Resignation in Letter Owners of Clubs League Tuesday Result of Scott Perry Case Being Taken From National Commission to Civil Courts Resignation Will Clear Up Situation Successor Appointed Yet

New York, Aug. 6.-The resignation of John K Tener as president of the National baseball league was received here today at National league head quarters.
 In a letter addressed to all the club presidents in the National league President Tener said:
 Having declined to serve further on the national commission, for the good reason familiar to each of you, I must ask that my resignation as your president rendered last Decem- Der, be TOW accepted.
 T am prompted to take this course out of consideration of the present situation and that you may more speedily select my successor, who will, if you desire. serve on the commission under the circumstances"
 The resignation of President Tener will clear up the involved situation in the national commission and expedite the work of that organization in pre- pairing for the proposed world series, scheduled to begin on Sept. to 4. Following the jeCision of the Philadel- phia American league club to carry the case of Pitcher Scott Perry to the civil courts after the national commis- sion had finally awarded his services 10 the BOSIOQ NdllOndIS, NIT. 16QeT announced he would no longer serve as a member of that body.
 The National league bylaws and constitution made no provision for any other person, aside from the president of the league, to serve on the national commission, and his refusal to act for the senicr league complicated affairs ia time when cooperation was es- sential. Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh club, represented the National league at the conference at Cleveland on Saturday when it was decided to play the world series as in past years.
 As this series is played under the control and direction of the national commission, it is necessary that the latter Organization be represented and since Tener refused absolutely to have further dealings with the commission it is assumed he felt that the accept ance of his resignation at this time would clear the situation and pave the way for a more harmonious arrange ment of the details for the proposed series.

colored like the breeder of the great race mare Sweet Marie, 2:02) to mate her with Tom Hal by offering to give him $50 for the foal when year old which was the amount he claimed that he could get for a mule. Fry lived up to his agreement although he hesitated when he saw the colt, and after keeping him year sold him to l colored man for S75 to do farm work. Finally Fry had to take him back in exchange for S60 account. This was tie Brown Jug was racing and in 1881 he reduced the worlds record to 2:11%. Brown Hal, the sire of Star Pointer was his brother.
 While Robert J. was favored with better surroundings than Little Brown Jug his breeder gave him away after shipping him back from a Cleveland sale where he was unable to find any one who would make a bid on the little knee sprung gelding. The name of the new owner was Champ Brown of Willidmsport, Pa. and he named the colt@ Robert J. after his breeder Robert J. Walker and while he bred many other horses this was the only one to find a place in the turf hall of fame. After a little training Brown started off to the races with Robert J. During the meeting at Fleetwood Park in New York City, Geers saw him perform and persuaded C. J. Ham lin to buy him. He made the name of Robert J. a household word while thousands of people all over the United States had the pleasure of seeing him perform in as splendid series of races as were ever placed to the cred it of any horse and during which he cut the worlds record from 2:o4 to 2:01h.
 The above are only a few of the noted light harness performers that were sold for a trif1e before they were

splendid Baron Wilkes mare Ecstasy, that had a trotting record of }: # and 6 pacing record of 2:10h, while his dam Deloree, 2:09A, was by the good race horse Delmarch out of Hindee, a daughter of the champion stallion AL erton and Eloree, 2:0SA, by AXtell an- other champion that sold for S105,000.
 Prince Loree was selected for a stake cot but after failing to make good was, together with Lee Ak worthy, traded for the trotter Sir Thomas Lipton. While Andrews was preparing Lee Axworthy for a career during which he defeated Peter Scott and Peter Volo and reduced the stall ion record to 1:58M, Prince Loree fell by the wayside and finally met with an accident which resulted in him being sold at auction for $50. A c. Pennock bought him and by careful nursing put him on his feet again He was then sold to Captain Shaw, who drove him in a:07A to wagon last year, and now Prince Loree is tabled as a Grand Circuit winner with rec ord of 2:06A.
 The sudden change in Prince Loree's value recalls the greatest find in light harness racing, the celebrated plough horse Captain Lewis. He flashed | across the turf sky in 1882, winning ten races out of ten starts, the first being made within thirty days after 1 he was pulling plough on his breed CTS farm, and four of them at Grand i Circuit meetings. In the spring >ot that year Colonel Pearsons ot Rochester, N. Y, was buying barley at Geneva. N. Y. A farmer drove UT with a load and after selling it told the Colonel that the nigh horse "could gc some" The Colonel took little drive behind him but decided not tc l buy the country trotter at $175. 4 few weeks later A. H. Tower ot Lyons, N. Y, gave $500 for him to use in his livery stable. After driving hin a few times he found that he had . fast trotter. He started him in two races at a local meeting and won botf of them. After this showing Captain Lewis was sent to Rochester anC Horace Brown employed to drive him Brown started him at Clean, N. Y where she showed so well that Colone Parsons who refused to buy him fol $175, purchased him in partnership with Bert Sheldon for $5,250 anc started him on his trip down the line his first race in Grand Circuit com pany being at Buffalo, while the otheI starts were at Utica, Hartford anC Springfield.

Prince Loree was bred to be a race horse as his sire Prince Mckinney is a son of Mckinney out of that
