FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STEADY.

New York. Nov. 12.-The calm. mat ter of fact manner in which todays stock market regulated it's affairs from war to peace was doubtless surprise to many who expected that the first post-bellum session of the exchange would of necessity be at tended by sensational incidents.
 With the exception of United States Steel and a few other popular indus trials of the pronounced war type, prices were one to three points higher at the opening, rails, shippi1gs, oils and motors guiding the movement.
 Before the end of the first hour most advances were materially re- duced and by midday virtually all gains were changed to actual losses of two to five points, pressure centerlng in munitions and allied equipments.
 The last half of the session was characterized by a moderate revival of the first hours activity and more insistent liquidation, in which the en- tire list participated. 'Washington's reminder that some of the hardest problems of the war await solution gave momentum to the later decline.
 T.. s. Steel was the outstanding fea- ture, selling down to 99 IA and clos ing almost at its lowest, with net loss of 3 3-S. Independent Steels re- acted one to three points, Baldwin Locomotive alone displaying strength.
 Oils went through their usual gyra- tions, Mexican Petroleum making an extreme reversal of II 12 points from it's early gain of three points. Motors, coppers and tobaccos ended at reces- sions of one to four points, also the various specialties which follow in their train.. and rails of high and low degree forfeited more than their many substantial gains of the first hour. Sales were 100000 shares.
 Remittanccs to allied centers con- tinued to strengthen, rates to neutral countries. making corresponding de- ciines.
 Bonds were irregular, foreign issues yielding part of their advance. Total sales, par value, aggregated s1o,170,OoO.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

GREATEST WEEK IN HISTORY OF SPORT

nual Horse Show at Madison Square
 Garden, the drive will be prosecuted
 with all the zest and fervor for which
 the fans of Gotham are famous The
 week will be concluded with a football
 game at the Polo grounds between Princeton and the Camp Upton e.evens
 and the big boxing carnival, the larg-
 est ever held, at Madison Square Gar
 den, in which Jack Britton and Benny
 Leonard will meet in the stellar roles.
 In between there will be golf, trap
 shooting. bowling, billiards indoor
 track meets boxing and swimming
 a-plenty. It looks as if New York
 will, have to throw it's alarm clocks
 away and be prepared to remain
 awake for seven days and nights. While the major portion of the
 $170,500,00 will have to be raised through the medium of sporting
 events, the entire amount will not have
 to be raised by sport alone. Theatri-
 cal and other forms of entertainment will be held and contributions will help to make up the purse" The executive and the sports com mittee of the united war work council have accomplished wonders in making arrangements for this drive. They are deserving of unlimited praise for what they have done. And now it is up to the fans. Unlim0er your purses, throw away the strings and "carry on." No better chance has been offered No greater opportunity will ever be pre- sented Let's go!
Norwich bulletin., 1918-11-13

This will be the greatest week in the history of sport. Never before have all branches of sports big family been as active at one time The schedule of events to be held is further proof of how sport in all it's many forms will answer the call to the colors in time of need If the drive to raise $170 500,00O for the united war work campaign fund fails to go over the top it will not be because sport failed to do its bit.
 In all parts of the country elaborate preparations have been made for foot balL track, trapshooting, bowling, basketball golf, tennis, boxing, wres ting. skating seeker and swimming events. The only sport that will not be actively represented is baseball, and that is because it is out of season. But baseball has not failed to helc. The players, umpires and clubs tfat par ticipated in the world series have all ready contributed to the fund Last week August Hermann, chairman of the national commission, sent a check for $16,00O to the fund.
 No one can accuse sport of having any slackers, even among it's most dis tant cousins. They all have rolled up their sleeves to help raise enough to DTONIue G HCic GodIl SOIu1cTS anu Sdll- ors with badly needed athleti, equip ment and entertainment here and ever there. Even though the war is ended there will be need of this equipment and entertainment. In fact, now that the fighting has ceased, the soldiers and sailors will have to be provided with more recreation than they have had, for the long stretches in the trenches are over, and there is nothing more monotonous and irksome than inactive camp life.
 For this reason this drive must be put across regardless of what has transpired on the other side. There can be no half way business about it. It must go over, and must go over big. And it will if all the sporting enthu- siaStS in this country, whatever their favorite form of recreation may be, do their share once more as they have so often since the United States entered the world war. One hundred and sev- enty million dollars is lot of money, but it is not asking too much when it is to be used for such worthy cause.
 It is but natural that the lions share must be done by New York city. This is the center. There are more fans there than anywhere else. It is the sportive as well as the business pulse of the country, so to speak. And New York is ready to set the fastest pace ever before attempted
 Starting with the opening of the an

All plans have been made for speedy shipment and the horses may arrive very soon, now that the sub marine peril has been eliminated.
 The news is welcomed by all turf men in America in the hope that with peace will come a revival and concen- tration of American owners and breed CTS on the turf of their own land.
