Too Bad.

At Carson yesterday Corbett says !:
"As for the contest itself, neither Fitz-
simmons nor myself is going to be
killed or even injured"
This statement gives an additional
cause for regret that the prize fight
law was enacted and deprives its sup
porters of their only stable argument.
AS long as there was possibility Of
one of the contestants being killed we
had the comfort of knowing that We
were making sacrifice which migl t
be benefit TO the rest of the country
Alas, that consolation is now taken
from us by Prof. Corbett's assertion.
Perhaps. he will now be kind enough to
enlighten us as to the reason for him
self and Mr.. Fitzsimmons fighting at
all if they don't intend to kill or hurt
each other. 1t would be really too bad
if either of them should accidentally
draw blood and faint at the sight
thereof.-Silver State.

Invitations to silver-using nations to
cooperate with the United States in an
international coinage will have little
effect until the United States does as
much for silver as those natsons them
selves are doing.-Denver News.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New Yory, Aug. 10.-The price of stocks
this evening was distinctly higher than
last evening, the gains extending to over
a point in some of the most prominent
stocks. The market opened with yester-
days disposition to take profits appar-
emily still rampant. The offerings for this
purpose were very heavy and the market
sold off sharply under the large trans
actions. The decline was accredited by
the pressure of short sales, professional
operators being convinced that reac-
ton of considerable proportion were i'm
pending. The Grangers were subjected
TO the severest pressure, but few active
stocks escaped a loss of near a point.
The total sales of stocks were $4,000
shares.
