FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL!
MARKET CLOSED IRREGULAR.


 New York Aug. 16.-wal1 street found fresh encoura cement today in the coal and rail strike situations, indulging in an early buying demonstration that caused an appreciable advance in prices on the stock market. This gave way to dullness later which was taried by spe- ciaI demonstrations in individual issues. several of which reached new highs for the year. Profit-taking caused some lr- regularity at the close
 Trading continued to be largely of professional character, but the days sales. 675,000 shares, were among the highest in recent weeks.
 Most of the standard rails advanced 1 to points in the early trading on buy ing orders based on the belief that a flood of traffic will be loosed by the termin- ation of pending labor troubles and re- f1ected in the earnings statements, but most of the gains were reduced to frac- tions by the selling pressure in the large dealings. Outstanding shares, which reg istered a gain of a. point or ore, were Canadian Pacific, Chicago and Western preferred Chicago and Eastern Illinois Delaware and Hudson, Lehigh Valley. New Orleans, Texas and Mexico and Western Maryland. Union Pacific broke through for 3 new high but closed at a net gain of only a small frection.
 Special buoyarcy was shown by shares of public utility companies. notably by Columbia Gas. Philadelphia Company and North American. each of which establish ed new peak prices.
 Public service of New Jersey slso showed up well.
 Streneth of Philips Petroleum and the Standard Oils shares was construed as an indication of substantial improvement in the statistical position of the indus try, which recently has suffered from over production Mexican Petroleum moved within narrow limits again today but closed at slight gain. The Mexi- can Seaboard issues relaxed bit. Trading in United States Steel, which has not been very active in recent weeks. was more extensive today. presumably | because of the benefNial effect that the settlement of the coal strike is likely to have on its production figures. The com mon advanced nearly point. Independ- i ept steels were irregular. Lackawanna, Vanadium, Replogle, and Gulf States ad- vancing moderately while Bethlehem and Crucible were slight reactiOnary.
 An easier tone prevailed in the call i money market, the opening and renew 1 ing rate of 1-4 per cent. being the low l est in a fortnight. An abundance of of- i ferings caused the price to ease. to per cent, where it held until closing. Banks 1 report a fair amount of tim emoney maturing, at the end of the month being | loaned at 8 1-2 per cent, but little | change is shown in the rates for longer maturities.
 The briT< demand for sterling ex- change resulted in an advance of nesrly a cent to $4.47 3-16 for demand bills. French checks eased off to 7.J3 1-2 cents. and Belgian and Italian rates were rela- lively backward. Czecho-S o-Slovakian crowns advanced to a new high, being | quoted at 800.

NEWARK LOSES

Superior Foul Shooting

Special 20 The Evening Journal
NEWARK, Feb. 10.-New Castle
High school basketball team took a
fast and exciting game from Newark
high In the University OF Delaware
cage last night by the score 6f 81 to
2s. This makes the second victory
by New Castle over Newark this sea-
son, the first being by a more de-
cisive score az New Castle.
Superior foul shooting by McKnitt
won the game Tor the visitors az
New Castles margin OF three points
was exactly how many more fouls
they made than Newark. McNitt
shot out OF 10 fouls while Cromp-
ton FOR Newark got but 6 out OF Il.
The latter. however. played a fast
game scoring five OF Newark's field
goals. Mcknitt was also the star for
New Castle in that respect getting
five field goals.
Hopkins also played good ball for
Newark getting five field goals and
Henning's guarding was another
feature. Weggenmann put up a
strong game for the visitors on de-
fense.
Each team got II field goals. The
score was always close and several
times tied. The first half ended
with the score 20 TO 16 In favor OF
New Castle Newark had tied the
score at 16 just before the hall
ended but the river boys forged
ahead again. In the last half th'
score was tied az 26 shortly before
the end Of the game. Newark
scored one more point than theii
