 The initial advance was the direct result of the repulse of the Teutonic forces on the Franco Belgian front, while the setback seemed to originate in heavy realizing for profits.
 Declines were facilitated by ad- verse rumors, among which was an l'unsubstantiated report that the Washington authorities intend to i'm pose further restrictions upon the country's exchanges, particularly those dealing in cotton and foodstuffs.
 Trading increased materially. both in volume and scope, the turnover of the morning being vastly in excess of the previous sessions entire opera tions. U. s. Steel featured the re- versaI and subsequent improvement just as it led the opening advance,
 1uctuating between 96 1-S and 93 3-4 closing at 94 5-S a nominal net loss.

GIANTS STRONGER THIS
 YEAR THAN LAST. MeGraw Clan Will Not Feel Loss of Robertson and Herzoc.

The Giants of today are a much stronger ball club than they were in 1slT.
 The loss of Charlie Herog has not hurt the club. for Larry Doyle has ap- pzrently performed a miraculous comeb back, and the addition of Jess Barnes tc the pitching staff has great ly strengthened the team in the box. With the same amount of good breaks that came their way in last years campaign. it VII not be surprising to sec the 1918 Giants sweep majestically down the home stretch 10 another pen nant well in advance of the field.
 Ross Young. the new outfielder, has already made fans at the Polo grounds forget Davey Robertson, and if the Giants are not deprived of the ser vices of any Of the present regulars by tho draft they will have little to worry about.
 NcGraw has his full strength avail able at the present time, for Lew Mc- Carty's leg, broken last season in a game at Cincinnati, has entirely mended. and Benny kauff's injury dur ing the training season has not kept him out of the game.
