New York, Nov. Achievements of market leaders on the stock exchange to- day were again very conflicting, many high grade or investment rails renpond- ing to further accumulation, while in dustrials and specialties sagged, some of the latter recording lowest prices of the year.
 Dealings once more were large and d. versifed, aggregating 1,000.0U0 shares, but a large proportion of this total repre- sented an extension of the short account and liquidation by discouraged> holders of long stocks.
 The usual restraints were imposed by. the money market, can loans opening at per cent, that figure also applying to renewals over the week, but the usual 10 per cent was demanded at the close, while time funds were unchanged but scarre.
 TItc more vulnerable issues in the stock list comprised shippings. motors and their subsidiaries, oils, chemicals and the better known steels and equipments, with sprinkling of specialties and utilities, extI eIre reactions running from one to | five points.
 Leadership of the rails was assumed | by Northern Pacific, other issues of the 1 Hill group manlfesting unusual activity with Atchison. St Paul and the codlers notably Reading and Chesapeake and 1 Ohio. Gains of one to three points in l these stocks were severely impaired and

TaftviiIe's R,eply.

To the Sporting Editor: In refer. ence to the article in Fridays Bulle- tn from James McNulty of Plainfield, l must admit was guilty of some i'm agination concerning today's game. as l overlooked the date in the letter, Nov. 2o. [ Now MT. Editor, would like to nave a few words myself concerning tnfs affair. MT. McNulty claims I have been ciamoring for a game for three weeks. This is quite true I took over the management of the Taftville team on. Oct. IS, and in the Bulletin of Oct. IS, l challenged any team for games, naming Plainfield. Goodyear and Jew cit City. On Oct. 21 received a let ter from Plainfeld notifying me that they would play us any Saturday in Taftville and any Sunday in Plain field. then asked them for a game on the following Saturday, but as this was too short a notice, I asked for a game on October 30. To this he re- piled that he would speak to the
 boys" and let me know as early as possible. This was on Friday evening, Oct. 22. Having no news on the fol- lowing Monday I had printed in the Bulletin that we were anxious to hear from PlainAe3d in regard to a game in Taftville Oct. 90. The reply to this wes that Plainfield had arranged for three games for the next three Sun days and that he hoped 1t would meet with my approval. There was nothing said about coming to Taftvile to play gaana.
