The undertone was g0od, however, and the general tenden- cy was upward. Professional selling was offset by vigorous outside buying, | and while the market’s absorptive ca- pacity was hardly as great as during the preceding two davs, it was appar- ent that the influences which gave the upward impulse had by no means lost their force. Traders sold stocks in the early ses- sion, believing that the extent of the rise pointed to a reaction. The Wilson ; admnistration’s anti-trust bills, made public overnight, were utilized by the hears, who contended that certain features of the measures were drastic enough to cause misgivings in the financial district. This view was not generally adopted, however. and the shorts were able to make little head- way. Prices moved back and forth within a comparatively narrow range, until broadened sufficiently late in the day to make the upward movement | irresistible. United States Steel was helped by the higher prices for some steel pro- ducts. Reports of better business con- ditions were not confirmed, however, by the statistics of idle freight cars, which showed a large increase in. the first half of the month. December fig- ures of domestic exports revealed a falling off as compared with the total for the last month of the preceding vear, which was unusually large, but the 1914 figure: compared favorably with earlier years. Another large cash gain was indicat- ed by known movements of currency for the week. Estimates varied from $17.000.000 to $21,000.000. The advance in bonds continued, and some issues gained as much as three Total sales, par value, $5,93 United States bonds were unchanged on call. . STOCKS.

Proposes to Give $2,000 Committee. New- York, Jan. 28—The initial move in the campaign to collect funds for the American Olympic team of 1916 was made when Secretary Jame: B. Sullivan of ‘the Amateur Athlet union issued a mail vote on the prop: sition to glve $2,000 of the union's funds to the ‘American Olympic com- mittee. President Lill has prepared a strong statement advocating the plan, and it is thought that the various as- sociations and offices of the organiza- tion will vote unanimously in favor of the donation. In addition the individual clubs of the union will be requested to sub- scribe direct to the Olympic team fund pledging a given sum to the Olympic committee treasurer, Julian Curtis, to be paid in full or in instaliments, as may be convenient. This early actiyity following directly upon_ the refusal of the German im- perial authorities to donate $50,000 to the German committee and the failure to of the British Olympic fund, is taken as an indication that the United States officlals are determined to finance the Berlin feam in a most thorough manner. It is estimated that more than $150,000 will be necessary to transport and quarter United States team of one hundred more athletes who will represent this country in 1916. It is understood that the American Olympic committee desires this sum in hand or pledged some months in ad- vance of the date of.the games, in order that every arrangement may be made for the comfort af the athletes, trainers and others wHo will make the trip to Berlin. ~ TenDay Tailoring Sale YOUR CHOICE FROM OUR LARGE AND SELECT STOCK OF WOOLENS SuitorOvercoat o=-Order $16.50 Reduced from -$20, $22, $25, $28, $30 THIS REMARKABLE OFFER IS FOR TEN DAYS ONLY, COMMENCING TODAY AND END- ING WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4 Mavhaltan 121-125 MAIN ST. “Custom Tailoring Department” X | lj { 85 COATS 15 Coats, value $12. $3.75 will be put on sale 194 Main Street Take Advantage —OF THIS— Remarkable Offer As You Cannot Afford To Lose It 20 Coats, value $16.50, at al 30 Coats, value $14.50, at ) = BN Big Waist Sale Waists which were sold as high as Messaline, Chiffon, Etc.

It is seldom nowadays that we find a man of fifty years of age, taking a walk of twenty miles, over rough coun- t roads in wintry weather and en- ng it; but John D. Nolan 1s a type of the athletes of the old school, who believe that work of that kind best fitted them for arduous feats of any description. Nolan, who after more than twenty years of footracing and training athletic clubs, bought and works a farm near Taftville, does not seem to find the exercise of working the farm sufficient and occasionally surprises his friends by performing some notable athletic feal. At forty years of age he defeated the great race horse Cute, surprising the medical fraternity, who pronounced the feat impossible at his age. When forty-seven vears of age he ran four miles in 22 minutes at the falr grounds and, at the last fair, he broke the world’s record for a fifth of a mile for | a man of his age, by six seconds. Two years ago he wrote the first half of | work entitled Twenty Years on the | Cinder Path, an interesting story of | his races and travels, which was pub- lished in The Bulletin at that time. He has just finished the last series of articles, completing the work and these stories, 22 in number, are to appear in The Bulletin shorfly, Dundee and Shugruc Draw.

TAFTVILLE GIRLS OBJECT. m Preference Was Shown Baitic People at Basketball Game. "The Taftville rooters of the fair sex| object to the action of the Baltic man- agement at the recent Taftville-Baltic basketball game in the latter town. They voice their objection In a letter to the Sporting Editor as follows “We hope the manager of the Taft- ville basketball team will prove wor- thy of the name, for me are sure it was very mean to make us wait out- side of the Baltic ciub house's locked door Wednesday night (it certainly was a case of being on the outside, looking in) and watch the Baltic peo- ple, who already had a chance to buy their tickets_ file in through the gym. door and gef their pick of seats. The management was reasonable enough to open the door for the Taftville root- ers when all the seats had been taken by the Baltic people, though some even grudged the little space we had to stand in.
