FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL
Apathetic Condition Was Offset b,
 Firm undertone.


 New York Jan. 21-The most ob- vious effect of the first heatless day in Wall Street was a marked reduc- ton of businesss on the stock ex- change, operations being conducted in a frigid temperature. Contraction was progressive, trading becoming almost motionless in the later hours of the session.
 This apathetic condition was coun- terbalanced by the markets firm to strong undertone. Traders were at first disposed to extend short com mitments, but reversed their posi- ton when selling pressure proved in- effectual.
 Banking interests adopted a more hopeful view of the Washington situa- tion and Director General McAdoo's statement that he did not believe in government ownership of railroads evoked considerable comment, although few exceptionss.
 The weekly review of the war de- partment and further conflicting ad- vices regarding negotiations between the Russian delegates and the Gen. tral Powers were again without ef- feet, fires and rubles remaining un- changed.
 Specialties of the war and semi-war groups, notably coppers, oils, leath- CTS, sugars, tobaccos and fertilizers, at gross gains of one to five points, contributed largely to the light turn over. Utilities. notably Peoples Gas and Western Union. also advanced ? to points, but shippings were back ward. Sales amounted to 2s0,0OO shares.

 But among the elect of clay target shooters is spoken a gibberish that by comparison makes basebalrs died at first" etc. the simplest of sporting vernacular.
 For instance, a shooter might des- cribe the results of five shots some thing after this fashion: Yes sir; toed the firing line, put the iron to my shoulder drew a humdinger from the box and killed it. The second saucer was lazy boy flying straight away but I went to sleep and the pigeon nested in, the grass. The next mud pie sailed to left quarter. but the old pea shooter simply knocked the fuzz off The fourth dickery bird was smothered as soon as it. was matched. Then cripple fiuttered out and died. Next came right wheeling streaker and I pulverized it."
 The fact that trapshooting is the humane substitute for livebird shoot ing probably accounts for some of the "cruel'' terms that are included in the language of the inanimate target game.

The Athletics finished the regular season wit ha record Of 96 games won; 57 lost; and a percentage of .627.
