FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNCERTAIN

z New York, Jan. 19.-The profess ,sional short calendar interest was again in control during the greater part O today's uncertain stock mar ket, mainly because of the continued lack of public interest or support.
 Much of the days news was of hopeful tenor, the only adverse de- velopment further delay on the part of The United States supreme court iu the much discussed MacComber stock dividend tax case-being of a negative character.
 fiAs a result of last Saturdays ex- felient clearing house statement, yhieh left q liberal margin of actual excess reserves in place of the previ- Qus weeks deficit, call money relaxed fisibly. The rate fell from per cent. At the opening to 6 per cent. at mid day.
 -- No marked alteration was manifest ed in the time money market. however, where the maximum bids of the past fortnight continued to prevail, without ooseninG the sources of supply to more than a minor extent.
 The attitude Of the federal reserve board towards credits formed the basis of further conjecture but no definite conclusions were reached. The local branch of the central bank strengthened its ratio of reserves, but most other .centers lost ground
 1 Stocks were strong at the opening and steady at the close. but between those periods the trend was mostly re2ctionary. A few leaders of the class represented by Geneal Motors, drucible Steel. Baldwin Locomotive, United States, Rubber and shippings registered extreme losses of two to tight points. These were largely re- tFieved at the end, high priced oils and affiliated issues making substan- rial rallies. Sales amounted to 775,- 05G shares.

 It is indeed one sensation to be the victor, and still another. and far dif- Ierent one, to be the defeated, is 1t not, Mir Benoit?
 He also insinuates that I must like my brothers, and laid special stress and praise on their playing. One thing lss sure, MT. Benway has conceived the idea that his center, Vickery, is some player, or he would not have him in cluded in his champion lineup.'' It is an established fact, therefore. that any player who plays rings around Vickery+ is a real fast man. is it not? He also insinuates Bill is a pretty. good player.

 As for playing in the "chic6en coop which is the term applied to our hall by the Taftvflle leader. I will say 1t is something I cannot under stand, why the hall should prove a detriment to Taftville winning on this occasion when they have been defeat ing Jewett City in this same chicken coop" for the last-well! ever since the two teams met, according to the Taftville managers statistics.
 And just few words about the referee, Mir. Benoit. He may have been born yesterday, If we are to be- lieve your statements. but in my esti- nation he has forgotten more about basketball than you will ever know, pot limiting your age.

THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN, BOYS

about the two series when Eli Lague was manager of Jewett City and Taftyille was beaten four out of five on their own floor. Oh, yes! Almost forgotten that eh. Mr Benoit? And Manager Benoit finished it off then, just as he is doing now, and always has oone. in all his undertakings.
 It. is very mystifying how Edison ever perfected his talking machine with such competition as there is now adays.
 Mgr Benoit claims he would like another game and that he has two hundred dollars burning a hole in his pockets that he would like oIhave covered.
 Up to your same old tricks. ain't you, Mgr? Evidently thought you could scare us with flash of bra vado. I'll cover your two hundred dollars, Mir. Bonoit. and I'll answer you that our money is the only yellow we differ from Taftville in man. re- Sl.ects.

 TAFTVtLLE THIS EVENING

One of the best cards of the season is looked for Tuesday night in Parish hall, Taftville, when the fast Oxford A. A. of Oxford. Mass, considered one of the, fastest teams in Massachuse ts, will hook up with the Crescents. The Oxford boys are one of the few teams who have ever defeated the Crescents on their home floor and as these teams clash again Tuesday one of the best games of the season is looked for. Besides the big game, there will also be one of the most interesting pre- liminaries of the season when the Bearcats hook up with Chip Dugas married men. The Bearcats will have Murphy, Molleur, Coleman, Paradis and McSheffrey, while the married men will show such old time stars as Vic Fontaine, Jake Benoit. Bill Gley. Mulholland, Decelles, Chip 'Dugas and Belair, and promise to show the Bear cats something that they can useein the future if ever they intend to make basketball players. The married men have been putting in some stiff prac- tice for the past two weeks and are in fine form.
