FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET DULL AND HEAVY.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Foreign selling, precipitated chiefly by the strike of the British miners and domestic offerings originating mainly at interior joints, were the restraining influences of today's dull and heavy stock market.
 The British industrial crisis, which seemed to assume more alarming propor- tiosn, was directly responsible for anoth- CT sharp decline in rates of exchange to London. sterling bills falling to their lowest quotations for the current move ment.
 Exchange on other important foreign capitals was sympathetically affected, French and Belgian remittances, also lira and rates to Spxia, Switzerland and other so-called neutral countries easing sharp ly. A new low record for remittances to Argentina was primarily due to that country's adverse trade balance.
 Advices over the week end from hove industrial sections strengthened the im- pression prevalent in many quarters that independent steel producers are formu- lating plans for downward revision of price schedules. These plans may take concrete form at the coming meeting of the American Iron and Steel institute.
 Steels and equipments, oils, junior rails, shippings, textiles and feathers were the vulnerable features of the stock market, the list for the most part recording low est prices in the final hour, when ca bles reported labor disturbances in Lon don and the provinces. Sales amounted to 475,3O0 shares.
 Easier conditions ruled in the money market, last weeks statements of the local federal reserve and clearing house banks tending to that end. An opening rate of : per. cent. for call loans held until the last few minutes, when offerings were made at S per cent.
 Domestic and foreign bonds were steady 10 firm, local utilities strengthen ing Total sales (par value) aggregated s13,375,o0 Old L. S, bonds were un- changed on call.

CHANGES IN LINEUP OF
 YALE FOOTBALL TEAM

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. IS - Yale lined up for practice today with only five of the men who started the game against Boston College last Saturday on the varsity team. That the defeat of the Blue by Frank Cavanaugh's s team had been taken to heart at Yale was evident from the turnover that Coach Tad Jones and his assistants made in the eleven.
 Thorne Murphy was at quarterback, with Kempton shifted from that posi- tion to left halfback. Campbell was at right half and Jordan played fullback. Stageck was put at left end, Cutler at right end and Calvin at center.
