FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MAS RuoYANT.

New York, Aug. 27-Stocks were slightly more susceptih> . to favorable developments today, although extreme gains of one to three points among the usual favorites were irreguiarly re- duced before the close.
 more hopeful feeling prevailed as to money prospects, regardless of a renewal by the Federal Reserve Board of last months warning concerning the urgent need of credit conservation.
 Pronounced expansion of business in bank acceptances was reported, but this was without effect upon ordinary call loans which ruled at per cent, the same rate applying to such time funds as were available.
 Reports from Washington pointed to early adjustment of the railroad contract dispute, investment rails ev- idently anticipating this outcome by their firmness.
 U. $. Steel rose to the years best at 115 7-S. an extreme advantage of two points from it's minimum of the forenoon, but half of this advantage was forfeited in the moderate selling of the final hour.
 Gross advances of one to almost three points were registered by other industrials and equipments, as well as shippings coppers, tobaccos, Indus trial Alcohol. Distil1ers and sundry specialties. Sales amounted to 415,000 shares.
 Foreign issues were the striking fea- ture of the enlarged dealings in bonds, French 1-2's and mlnicipals making gains on the further harden ing of Paris exchange. Total sales, par value. aggregated $7.7O0,00O
 Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

SPORTING NOTES.

Something like thirty rifle clubs and as many trapshooting clubs con- stitute a large part of the activities Of the employees of the Pennsylvapia rallroad system. lnterdivisional shoots are frequent occurrences.
 There is no doubt that Kaiser Bill Is the worlds leading exterminator of Efe-both human and wild. Up to 1908 he had killed 6l,730 pieces of game Since 1914 he has killed no one knows how many men.
 In these days of economizing many shooting clubs are selling their empty shells. Scrap brass from this source is worth from two to five dollars a barrel
 Many fine guns are ruined by lack of cleaning. The best way to clean 8 rife barrel is to run a clean canton flannel patch through the barrel from breech to muzzle. using either a brass jcinted, steel or hardwood rod with swivel handle.
 Everybody in the city is a member of the Pueblo City Col, Gun club. They have one of the best clubs in the west and conduct tournaments ev- cry week. TAere is no regular organ ization or membership but it is a community affair.
 Lieut.. John Philip Sousa. U. s. N E. F.. head of the Great Lakes Train ing Station naval band, has a 2.OO0 acre game preserve in North Caro- lima.
 At the plant of the General Electric company at Schenectady, N. Y, there is rife range fer the use of the en- rloyes which is the last word in mod ern construction. Even the target carriers are run by electric motors and all the shooter has to do is to press a button to have his target come down to him for inspection. The two main factors in selecting a shooting dog are breed and sex. It seems that for the young sportsman who doesn't understand scientific hand ling the pointer and the Laverack En- glish-sette are the bent. The male dog while usually slower to train up than the female but will generally train into the better dog.

As the breeder of Hambletonian he will always find a place in horse histore, still his estimate of the colt and his crippled dam can be easily determined as he sold both of them to w M.

BUILDING A CHAMPION.
By W. H. Gocher

Of those who saw the three-year- old colt Hollywood Bob win in 2:003%
 at North Randall, Ohio, June Il, and of the thousands who have read of this wonderful performance, how many have stopped to consider that the production of this horse repre- sents in the first five generations the combined efforts of forty-one breeders extending over a period of over eighty years and whose estab- lishments were located in eleven
 states, while one Ink in the chain of inheritance was brought from Quebec by a Yankee peddler An examina- tion of Hollywood Bobs talbulated ped igree for four removes shows that of the thorty individuals appearing in same fourteen were bred in Kentucky where he was foaled, five in New York state, the home of his breeder although his present farm is located at Lexington, two each in Michigan and Iowa, one each in Pennsylvania
