Re duction of the minimum price on steel from 48 to 43 was effective In making that stock the most active on the list. The opening quotation was at the new minimum and thero it remained for the greater part of the session, occasionally advaneing a fraction, but soon falling back as pressure of offer- ings became too strong. Immediately after the close of today’s market, an- other official reduction to 40 was au- thorized. Although the undertone of the mar- ket was rather uncertain, leading rail- way shares we: from yesterday’s low level, of the specialties, notably the Petro- leum group, made far sreater gains. Metal shares also improved with a further advance of the price of the | metal. disposition to pursue a course independent of Steel and ailied in- dustrials, was evidenced by the raii- way stocks in the latter dealings.

CHALLENGER RIDICULES PLAN OF CONSOLIDATION. n of the Eastern Association Writes About the Baseball Situation. Sidney W. Challenger, official statis- an of the Eastern association, and |a baseball writer of many years' ex- perience, writes inferestingly of the baseball situation in the Bastern. He says: “The ideal league foolishuess con- nues to be discussed, althoush there ans that it is gaining ground forth for some vears. Hartford and Springfield are the most active cen- ters for it. New Haven might go in, although the average baseball fan in that city cares nothing for it. Bridge- port has never caught the craze. It had an experience years ago in jump- ing from a short circuit to a long one. The lesson then learned was never for- gotten. 1t would be difficult to imagine a man with any cash going in a league which had Lowell, Lawrence and Lynn s 200 miles away, with Portland, MY, 100 miles off and not much larger than New Britain, as a possibllity. That Lowell, Lynn Lawrence want Bridgeport and New | Haven in we do not doubt. The back- |ers dream of the advantages of Sun- |day ball and they are hungry to get a try at it. “So far as Hartford and Springfield are concerned, the only reason their owners want to get into such a league |is because they b own way. There is not much evidence that the fans in either city want the change. Both recall the splendid con- tests and the grand baseball that has been played in this circuit. Here and there you might meet a few in both places who want a change, but these are persons who want a change. how. every two years. Of Springfield may have some for its Massachusetts sisters, but Boston and if that rivi handled better there might have been srand returns for both owners last season, as there was in Billy Hands' day. The ideal league may come, but | nc Connecticut city wants it. Yes, there Is a ‘ghost league' as well as an ‘ideal league’ The ‘ghost league’ is the one McKinnon is trying to work up.

He is confi- dent the merger won't materialize.
