Let $\CRF_S$ denote the category of $S$-colored rooted forests, and
$\H_{\CRF_S}$ denote its Ringel-Hall algebra as introduced in \cite{KS}. We
construct a homomorphism from a $K^+_0 (\CRF_S)$--graded version of the Hopf
algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions to $\H_{\CRF_S}$. Dualizing, we
obtain a homomorphism from the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra to a $K^+_0
(\CRF_S)$--graded version of the algebra of quasisymmetric functions. This
homomorphism is a refinement of one considered by W. Zhao in \cite{Z}.
We construct natural representations of the Connes-Kreimer Lie algebras on
rooted trees/Feynman graphs arising from Hecke correspondences in the
categories $\LRF, \LFG$ constructed by K. Kremnizer and the author. We thus
obtain the insertion/elimination representations constructed by Connes-Kreimer
as well as an isomorphic pair we term top-insertion/top-elimination. We also
construct graded finite-dimensional sub/quotient representations of these
arising from "truncated" correspondences.
