foresees within the next 10 years the
decline of foot ball and the growth
Of the so-called minor sports to the
point where they become self-sup-
porting.
Foot balls popularity, IN his opin-

gradual decline in public interest
may be expected.
Foot ball." he says, "has had its
seven fat years, and usually seven
lean years follow, you know Like
the Greeks and the Romans, the

foot ball has grown so popular"

new era IN athletics. The future
will see less emphasis on organized
sports and more attention paid to
the physical training of the indi-
vidual student"

that, while physical ailments are more

Credit Defaults.
Although we hear of new defaults
almost every day, few people realize
that within the past two generations
the attitude Of governments toward
creditors has improved appreciably. In
1873, the worlds total debt was esti-
mated at between SOS. 1000 900. 900 and
$50. 000, 900 900. The amount In default
was in excess of 81 800 0o0, 900, or about
Z per cent of the total.
At the present time the worlds total
indebtedness has increased TO about

II we include Russia. the total In de-

There is one vital difference between
defaulted government and corporate

special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, August 17.--Oils fea-
tured the upside Of today's irregular
Curb Exchange session. Public utilities
and some of the industrials we're offered
freely in the forenoon, but investment
trusts continued to move forward.
The market leader, Electric Bond a.
Share. opened of y point, and prompt
ly widened the decline by more than
point. Cities Service worked fraction
ally lower.
The trading element feels more cheer
full about the oil outlook than at any
time previously this year Beginning
with June 3, on which date the Stand
ard Oil Of New YorkVacuum OH COM
bine was approved, there has been
growing sentiment fayoring the lower
priced oils. This sentiment was not
changed by the ordering of martial law
in the Texas oil fields today.
Although oil output has mounted
steadily. gasoline stocks have decreased
at rate faster than seasonal. Because
Of the glut of oil, drilling operations
have virtually ceased. The result Is
that when the present flush production
passes its peak, the output side OF the
industry will improve materially. On
the demand side the oil outlook will
be frightened by any pickup In gen,
eral business. These beliefs ana
observations we're transmitted to the
tape today, with the result that the
following gains were recorded by mid
day: Gulf oil up l "a Standard on OF
Indiana up q and A. o. Smith Cor
poration up y.
Atlas Utilities which led the entire

Ford Motor, Ltd, was of about half

Oasis In Desert.
An oasis in the American business
desert has been found in Winston
Salem, N. c., the home Of the Reynolds
Tobacco Co The tobacco business is
the towns biggest industrial establish
ment and this line has been relatively
immune from the effects of the depres-
sion. There have been no wage reduc-
tions or lay-offs in the 1000 employees.
In fact, the Reynolds factories were
obliged TO put on a night shift to take
care Of orders All this is being re-
flected In the price Of leading tobacco
shares.
Wheat Prices.
People usually well versed in matters
pertaining to agriculture feel somewhat
more cheerful about the future of wheat
prices. This optimism is based upon an
estimate made by the International IN
stitute of Agriculture in Rome, accord
ing to which the world output for the
current year will not be suficient 70
meet requirements. It is. therefore, be-
lieved that a considerable amount of
the existing supply will have to be used
for the 1872 season.
A former member of the finance and
investment division Of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce ac-
cuses the Department of Commerce of
having, for political reasons, it would
seem, manipulated certain statistical
data Among other items, 1t is pointed
out that Americas net export of capi-
tai last year, given by the department
as more than $7oo 900. 900, Is materially
exaggerated.
Having for years devoted consider
able study TO the question of capital
movements and Americas foreign in
vestmentS, IL Is of interest TO find that
my own compilation, prepared for and
published by the Foreign Policy AS
ISOLATION. shows that the net export
Of United States capital in 1880 was
in excess of 5000 900 900, or appreciably
