RATES SHARKEY HIGH.
The Sailors Manager Thinks P.rse of
$4,000 None Too High


San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Dan Lynch.
hacker and manager of Sharkey, said
last night his protege is residing at Val
lejo and has heard nothing substantial
relative to purse for fight between
himself and Maher-that is, so far as thu
Nevada carnival is concerned.
81 consider that Sharkey is as big a
card as either .Fitzsimmons or Corbett,
yet / am willing to match Tom against
Maher in a contest to finish, If Stuart
will hang up a purse of $4,000" said
Lynch, last night.
"As there is only limited time for the
men to train properly for a finish fight,
which must be pulled off in Nevada oil
the 18th of March. L have reason to be-
lieve that the men will not meet in the
Sage Brush state. | had talk with
Wheelock, who is one of the Stuart man
ayers, when he was in this city, and
then gave him to understand that il Stu
art was looking for Il second attraction
and had Maher and Sharkey in view,
he must put up $4,000 or there would
be no fight.
"Wheelock thought that amount for
purse was too much, but when handed
him a telegram which | received from
prominent eastern sporting man con
eerning an offer made by one of the big
,astern clubs for IL ten or fifteen round
contest between Maher and Sharkey he
hanged his mind and said he wrote
ltuart and explained the situation.
have heard nothing since from Wheelocls
DR. Stuart, and l presume their silence
means there will be no meeting between
Peter and Tom in Nevada. III match
were made l would not hesitate to match
Sharkey in any sum from $1,000 to 5000
side, but Mr.. Silcr would not be the
referee"

THE WOOL MARKET

Boston, Feb 9.-Business in the wool
market continues active, yet while prices
are firm it is difficult to work up any
material advance. The bulk of the
wool now being sold is for future use and
the activity Of the market is said to be
owing to the manufacturers anticipating
a duty on wool. The market for terri
tory woods is steady and reports show
large lines being taken on the figured
basis OF, 30Q32c for most offerings of fine
medium, and fine white choice staple lots
are commanding 34@S5c. The sales of
fleece wool have been light, owing to a
number of dealers holding their products

New Orleans, Feb. 9.-The trading in
cotton today again assumed listless
character and operators appeared indis-
posed to enter extensively on either side.
TO affect "I n rUt aside from w" news from
Liverpool, which was somewhat better
than had been looked for. This gave our
market better undertone at the opening,
and prices showed a gain of 4 to 6 points,
but the trade lapsed into Indifference and
fluctuations were within narrow range.
The market felt the influence of fear
that the liquidation of the March inter
est might bring about a lower range of
values, and buyers held aloof, fearing
such result. The market seems to have
assumed waiting titude.
