COburn Sport Notes

The StifeSt praCtice oil the season
was in order Friday afternoon when
Coach Haines led the boys through
three. hours work. The entire squad
was present with the exception of
Ingraham, who is laid up for few
days. He will report for work Mon
day. The goal posts have been set
i'm placc, the grass moved and the
field lined off.
The boys were led through hard
work starting with grass drill and
from there to line and backfield
charging. The next on the after
noon order was tackiing. The dunn
my has not been set up and the re-
suit was that some of the players
were required to fill that position.
From tackling, the squad was lead
to dozen burlap bags, piled about
four feet high. The boys were forced
to use their Imagination and regard
these bags as players, then the fun
began. They took starts for five
yards and hit these bags by throw
ing their bodies at them.
The backs were given a short per-
iod in catching punts, Shanahan,
Wescott. Minnehan and Bowe, doing
the kicking. After a half hours wo.k
of signal drilling came a stiff scrim-
mage. Moran piloted one team. with
! Shanahan. Mittlesdorf and Westcott
! in the backfield. and Goldberg called
the signals for the other, with Min
nehan Mathers and Gorhan hacks
! All of the backfield men were effec-
| tive in their work. The coach was
pleased with the work of Capt. Simp-
| son. Lehman, Adams, Bowe and
Drummond. in the line. Brisk and
Dobbins were exempt from scrim-
mage for minor injuries. Practice
will be held this morning at $50.

Stock Prices
Rise in More
Active Market
Upturns Affect Both Rail
and Industrial Shares;
Studebaker Again Reaches
Highest Levels of Year

Speculation FOR the rise continued in
the stock market yesterday on sub.
stantially increased volume. Total
transactions we're not large compared
with those Of the active markets Of 9
few weeks ago. but we're about 30 per
cent In excess Of tho sales In the pre-
vious sessions this week.
Studebaker, the leader, and a fairly
stable group Of other active issues
climbed 20 tho highest levels Of the
year. The upturn affected rails as well
as industrials. and IL was clear tina,
spectators we're satisfied with the
course Of events in connection with the
railroad strikes.
The new motivating force was de-
vclopments in connection with Franco.
German financial relations. The an.
nouncement Of a reduction Of SO pei
cent in the cash payment due on. July IS
as a result Of erediting Germany FOR
payments in kind. indicated a sugges-
tion OF a eoneiliatory attitude, and the
dispatches confirming the earlier re-
ports that Germany would seek a
threc-year moratorium led 10 the ex-
pcctation that some adjustment might
be reached 20 forestall the collapse in
Germanys financial structure which
had been foreshadowed.
The foreign exchanges. whose down
ward sweep was already checked on
Monday. were the principal gamers
from the latest developments in the
European situation. The mark. which
on Saturday had been quoted at .1sh
OF cent, the lowest level in its
history. and at .2Ok at the close on
Tuesday, was yesterday exchangeable
for Z Of a cent, compared with a mint
parity Of almost a quarter OF a dollar.
Belgian and French francs, which last
week declined with marked rapidly
rose with unusual CELEBRITY. European
bonds similarly recovered further.
The rise Of the exchanges reacted
favorsbly on sentiment in the cotton
ring. where spectators, fastening at
tention on reports from the South Of
new boil weevil activities and on fears
regarding wet weather, bid up prices SS
70 AZ points. A large speculative group
continues 70 operate on the theory
that the new group will be inadequate
20 meet world needs.
Unlike the stock market, the wheat
market was inclined 70 regard a con
tinuation Of the rail strike as a factor
favorable to prices. On indications In
the news that an adjustment might be
in sight, spectators decided TO take
profits, and final quotations were > OF
a cent TO IL cents net lower.

M,inr oncrinr. OversubserIbed

Existence Of a liberal supply Of in
vestment funds available 20 take up
new issues is reflected in the eX-
perienee OF bankers with the two
major financial operations Of the week.
The 10000 900 guilder Kingdom Of the
Netherlands loan offered yesterday wa,
reported 70 have been oyersubseribed
By approximately. 100000 guilderss.
No statement was issued by the syndi-
cate managers, but il is expected that
some announcement will be forthcom-
ing before the end Of the week. Send
ing out Of allotments last night on the
500 900 900 New York Central issue,
ranging from 20 20 80 per cent OF ap-
plieatiors, indicated a subscription 70
that loan OF approximately Slo0,o0O,Oo0.
Successful distribution Of these two
issues in view Of the rather diseourag-
ing background provided By the un-
settled foreign situation and the rail
road strike was regarded as particular
ly gratifying.
