FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED Interest, Speculative and Otherwise Was Centered Around Shippings.

New York, Feb. 7.--Considering the very disquieting character of much of the overnight news, today's stock market, it was generally conceded, gave a very good account of itself.
 The Tuscania disaster with it's heav- toll of lives, the governments new financial plans and advices from va rious quarters indicating further in- dustrial unsettlement provoked reces- sions of one to four points in the ac- tive list. Lowest quotations were made toward the close on reports of another marine disaster
 Interest speculative and otherwise, once more centered around shippings, that group standing up better than any other division. though forfeiting its advantage at the end.
 War issues were extremely irregu- lar some of the leading equipments being among the firs- to yield. while others were relatively firm Deprived of their recent support. most of the so-called pooled: stocks reacted one to three points.
 U. $. Steel was under pressure from the outset. bear operators concentrat- ing upon that stock for it's effect else where. Many of the more popular rails suffered losses of one to two points, Pacifics and coaiers leading the re- versal as usual.
 Motors, oils, tobaccos and utilities, especially gas issues, were carried down in the .heavi6r offerings of the 1 last hour, losing one to three points.

COLLINS AFTER PLAYERS
 FROM INTERNATIoNALS
If Newark and Providence Go Into the Eastern League Teams Will Have to Be Strengthened.

Because of the fact that there is scant prospect of the International League playing it's 1918 schedule, Owner James Collins of the New Haven baseball club; will in all probability secure the services of several stars of that league, and as1 a result the New Haven baseball team will this year, be on of the best which has ever represented the Elm City.
 It became known that there is little likelihood Of the International league teams operating th:s year. but this will definitely be settled on the 11th of this month at the meeting which will be be held in New York city.
 Owner Collins has already gotten into con1nnu nication with several stars Of that league and 1t is said has even got contra cts for them to sign all drawn up, but no action will be taken by the New Haven baseball promoter Or by the players in ques- tion until after the meeting which will be held next week.
 If it is decided at the meeting that the International League will not play it's 1918 schedule, efforts will be made to secure Newark and Provi dence clubs. Waterbury, Pittsield or HolyolSe will be represented this season. and the league will consist of eight clubs
 It has been decided however, to begin play May 18th, which is 12 days later than usual This is due to the cold and the probability of a fate spring.
 When asked if he was seeking the services Of several International sLeague stars. Owner Collins said: If we can get Newark and Providence into the league. we certainly will have to strengthen our teams, and naturally we are after the best players we can get. Nothing will be shown. however, until after the meeting next week. he continued. The Eastern League teams will be l limited to 14 men. Owner Collins plans to secure five pitchers, two l catchers and seven felders. The l contracts, according to the Eastern 1 League rules have to be in the hands Of the players by March 1st, but as yet none have been forwarded by
 the New Haven baseball promoter.

An Irish Pwt Feb. 7.-The bodies of A of the missing 101 victims of the Tuscania disaster were washed up to- day on the rocks fifteen miles from the scene of the torpedoing. All were Americans and their bodies were mutt lated beyond recognition.
 A pathetic feature is that, although all the victims wore tags, DO identifi- cation numbers had been put on them because these Americans had not as yet been assigned to definite army units. Therefore. there is no way to identify them and they will be buried in one grave.
