Officials Of railroads oucrating east
from Chicago and st. Louis report lit
tlc change in general traffic conditions
but Il considerable reduction as rom
pared to Il year ago. The StagnatiOn in
several important lines is causing n
smaller tonnage volume. In the steel
and iron trades there is still a much
reduced production on the whole. nl-
though some Ccnters are shipping con

After CONTROL Of Brill

street gossip had it yesterday that tho
New York crowd who were given credit
for the heavy buying of J. G.. Brill So
curiticS last year were going TO make
another try to get control of the COM
pany. These rumOrs have cropped ur
periodically for some time and where
there is SO much smoke tLcre must be
some fire. Especially when taking into
consideration the successful coup in
General Asphalt and other local con-
Germs which have been taken out of
the hands Of their Philadelphia owners.
This much is certain, the floating sup
ply of Brill stock is pretty yell cleaned
mp. If anv one is really after the con-
troll there is likely to be some fireworks
as there was in the General Asphalt
shares.
In view of the money market condi =
tlOnS such Il movement just at this time
would appear to be altogether unadvis-
able. 1t is reported the earnings last
year were most satisfactory and the
company has excellent prospects for big
business for several years to come. This
is quito probable, as the street railway
companies have made slight expenditures
the last few years in new equipments
Cars wear out like everything else and
must sooner or later be replaced

One of the heaviest traders of Il
prominent uptown commission house
drlited into the bOardrOom yesterday
and, after giving the tape lookover,
gave orders to clean up his entire ac-
count. When asked for this sudden
decision he replied that it was his opin-
ION that the biggest traders, as well as
the influential financial interests, were
getting or had their affairs in shape
preparatory to the annual alternating
season in Southland.
"Sncc they have taken profits and
are preparing TO enjoy the fruits OF
their labOrs under the Florida sun, "

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

according to the estimates of several
recognized market observers, at least so
per cent of the recent buying movement
represented short covering. 1t came in
waves since the opening of the new
star; us each new price was reached and
'hI uemand at all times was urgent.
~ IS difficulty to judge the amount
u, " thc outstanding short stock, but
.hcIe Is n general opinion that the lesser
apoItS are pretty well eliminated. AS
submission house buying has not kept
pace with the bidding up of stocks,
especially the industrial speciultes, the
market Is regarded az being technically
weaker than would appear on the sur
tncc' AZ least, it is generally granted
thut, with the climiantion Of the short
interest. the entire market has been left
more susceptible to the development of
ahN uhiavorablc news. This. of course,
Is the opinion of experienced market OBJ
servers and according to the rule of the
game there should be somewhat of Il
Dacksct from the higher levels. It may
come ana 1t may not come at all. The
market is always doing the unexpected
ana some of the biggest bull movements
nave been started and carried through
successfully in face Of positive adverse
conditions.
Taking everything in consideration,
mere are not many, however, who be .
ileVc thCrc Is not much of chance for
any sustained forward movement at
thlS time. Wall street, however, is the

The New York Giants for a time seenei we'll on the way to head off the leaders, but this spuct was shortlived. On July Ii they began their climb from sixth place until they rested safely at the third
 rung. They found it impossible, how
 ever. to mount any higher.
 The splendid playing of Robinsons
 men during September eliminated their closest rival. Cincinnati, and assuyed the
 pennant to the eastern club. In that month they compiled 2S victories and suf- fered only defeats.
 Zach whea- Konetchy and Meyers were to a great extent the individuals responsible for the ultimate victory. In
 numerous games the. wicked mace of this 1 trio presented itself in all viciousness,
 and the records clearly show many vic- l tories which might otherwise have re- verted to the lost column. While these players attended to the batting end, the I Dodgers pitching corps was doing equal l y well, with Grimes and Pfeffer show- | ing up the best.
 I St Louis, graced by several stars . gained the batting leadership in the Ma tional league by hitting for an average | of .2S9. In their season's work they amassed the most runs, 615, and hit Tor l he most doubles, 2S0. Rogers Hornsby St. Louis second baseman. and leading | batter of the league, hit for the excel lent average of .Slo.
 1 Brooklyn and Boston set a new major league record for extra innings wher they batted 26 rounds to 1-l tie or 1 May |. and the Superbas established an
 other record by following with E ane | 19-inning battles on May 2 and 3. thus playing s rounds in three days to de tcide two games Incidentally, both O. these contests were lost,
