FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SELLING FEATURED MARKET.


 New York, Feb. 25. Cumulative signs that the dehation of credits is assuming wider dimenSions and that industrial conditions are being read justed to meet this situation proyok- ed another outburst of liquidation on the stock exchange today.
 Shares of all descriptions and sev- eral of the bond issues hoated by this government during the war add ed materially to their recent depre- ciation. Among stocks losses ex- tended from two to ten points, the decline being substantially assisted by bearish aggressions.
 The brunt of the movement was again borne by mercurial issues .em- bracing the steel, equipment, motor, oil and. shipping divisions, but dor mant or obscure issues also suffered severe shrinkages.
 Dealings presented a greater diver sity of offerings than usual, suggest ing enforced selling from various quarters. Pools abandoned their re- cent buIlish operations in rails, but that group offered more resistance than any other issues. Final quota tions were slightly above lowest lev els, but the tone at the close was weak. Sales amounted to 1.200,0 shares
 The local money market reflected in it's incipient stage the change in the monetary situation. Call loans opened at per cent. rising stead ly to 15 per cent. just before the close. This compares with the six per cent. quota ton which ruled during the past fortnight
 Directors of the local federal re- serve bank announced an advance in the rate of loans and discounts on treasury cert ficates from 3-4 to , per cent. Such action had been fore shadowed by the central bank in Philadelphia. Other rates were not altered contrary to expectations.
 In the bond market, which was heavy throughout the feature was Liberty 1-2's which fell to 94.30. a new low record and an extreme de cline of l 1-2 per cent. from yes terday's minimum. Total sales. par value, were s14.250 900.

KILBANE OUTPOINTED BY VALGER

Newark. N. J., Feb. 25.-Johnny Xiii bane, world featherweight boxing champion, was outpointed by Benny Valger of New York in an eight round "no decision" bout here tonight. Valger had the better of every round except the first, which was even.
 A forfeit of s1OO0 put up by Nalger under an agreement to weigh PA pounds or under at o'clock this af- ternoon was claimed by the titleholder when his opponent tipped the beam at three quarters of a pound over the mark, it was announced. Kilbane, who was not forced to make the weight, weighed 125 1-2 pounds.
 The start of the contest was delayed when it was found that kilbane wore hard tape bandages on his hands, which Referee "SIim" Brennan order ed removed. The champion gave a dis appointing exhibition, seldom taking the aggressive and frequently resort ing to clinching, hugging and wres- ting.
 Valger sent in five left jabs to the stomach without a return in the first round, but Kilbane uncovered a sharp attach which made honors even. In all the succeeding sessions Valger forced the pace. When able to get into close quarters he landed lefts to the wind and short right un~ercurs. The champion favored exchanges at longer range. In the second round Valger came out the better in a rapid exchange of blows.
 .Kilbane sent across several stiff lefts and a right to the head in the fourth, but received considerable body punishment in return. In tre sixth Valger rushed into a straight left which landed on the point of his nose. The blow failed to stop him from bor- ing in. Valger hammered the title holder about the body in the seventh and shot q hook to Kilbane's mouth, cutting his Up.
 The champion was content to clinch or block in the closing round.

 snow; And the wind is blind. so he cannot The shimmering, Hhelterihg shroud;

FOOTBALL COMMITTEE TO
 MEET FRIDAY, MARCH 12

New York. Feb. 2g-The first annu- al meeting of the Intercollegiate Foot ball Rules Committee to be held in several years has been called for this city on Friday. March 12. During the war period there were no formal meet ings of the committee, various inter pretations of the rules being consider ed at informal conferences or by cor respondenee.
 Important suggestions in reference to radical changes in the playing rules are to be discussed but the changes of a majority vote in favor of these proposed alternations cannot be forecasted. The suggestions include a rule to have the goal kick following a touchdown made from scrimmage formation; narrowing the width of the goal: numbering of players and sever al other revisions which would change the present form of play.
