STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. S.-The stock mar
ket opened this morning with a tremen-
dous show of animation and vigorously
upward tendency, gains being uniform
pretty much throughout the list. 1t was
evident that the strength displayed in
the market yesterday brought orders
to the commission houses to buy stocks.
There was also buying for London ac-
count for the first time in several days.
the advance in prices here apparently
failing to tempt arbitratrage brokers
to sell. The purchases of st. Paul were
ON quite large scale, and they also
bought Union Pacific, but there were
sales Of Louisville and Atchison for
London account. Sugar was the one
exception in the strength of the market
ut the opening, but its loss soon widen
ed and heavier liquidations in the stock
set iii, offerings being very heavy and
active support being Of no avail to re-
cover it's losses.
The stock was very feverish all day
and fuctuated widely and frequently,
but worked constantly toward lower
level and closed near the lowest at q
net loss Of 43s. Consolidated Gas was
also mark for the reactionists and
dropped at one time AZ points. The
consequence was that the market was
kept unsettled all day. When the gen.
eral advance came to a stop dullness
interviewed and there were frequent raj
lies. Early in the final hour prices of
many stocks were at the best, but the
final drop In Sugar again weakened
prices all around and left net gains con-
fined to fractions in almost all cases,

DIXON KNOCKS OUT MURPHY.

New York, Jan. 22.-George Dixon.
champion feathcrwcight puCilst of the
world, defeated Australian Billy Murphy
of Cincinnati in six rounds tonight at the
Broadway Athletic Club.
Murphy. who arrived here from the
west 4 couple of days ago. was trained
rather fine. and when he stripped it was
the general impression that he was not
fit for the fight. When Dixon showed up
he made a better impression. and his
friends backed him at to 1. During
the first round Murphy held his own
Whenever Dixon led with his right Muir
ply invariably swung his right on the
back of the head and sent home some
good body blows, but on the whole he
Judged distances very poorly. DiXon's
blows puzzled Murphy very much. and
the colorcd boy landed half dozen times
during the contest in such manner that
Murphy could NOT rctalidtc. In the
fourth round Murphy grew weak. hut
Dixon showed no effect OF MurThy's
blows, and at the opening of the sixth
round was 10y far the freshcr man.
The blow which Knocked Murphy out
was peculiar one. 1t was a left swing
combined with kind of uppcrcut and
the cut of DiNon'S left hand caught Muir
ply in the pit Of the stomach, 1t doubled
Billy up and he fell on his knees on the
floor, where he CROPPED about hopcleSSly
until he was counted ont.
