Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy X Co.,
 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 19.-A whole covey of old-tme "partrdges" were turned loose in the wheat pit today, and not for years has so much excitement prevailed for the entire session. From a small ad- vance at the opening the May options ad- vanced SEC with rush; the bull clique found it impossible to sustain the advance, owing to the outside rush to cover and the final sale was made at a decline of 3 cents from the highest for the day. One of the phenomenal features of the day was the jump from s1.05 to s1.O9 with prac- tically no sales between, with commission houses clamorng to buy at any figure. This market is manipulated, and we cam not venture an opinion as to its immedi- ate future The coarser grains advanced fractionally in sympathy with wheat. Pro- visions were less active.

 Cotton Lttte.s
 By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt
 New York, Feb. 19.-There was an eaeier feeling in cotton Saturday. and the market opened barely steady with prices un- changed to points in decline. There was considerable sel4ng participated in by the local contingent and foreign representa- tives. This selling was induced by predic- tions for a heavy movement at the ports and by an unsatisfactory turn of English lalts, together with disturbing advEces from Washington and Havana. Liquidation set in subsequently, and while it was on a small scale prices eased off further and the decline was increased to to 5 points, Later the market became irregular, with an uncertain feeling. Port receipts were estimated at 30,000 spot cotton in Liverpool,

Financial

New York, Feb. 19.-The Financier says: The statement of the Associated banks for the week ending Feb 19, is remarkable for it's loan and cash showings. Ordinarily, an increase of $7,07S,S00 in loans is accom- panied by a proportionate expansion in the deposits, but in the current statement deposits are almost stationary, showing a decrease of $136,600. On the other hand there was a loss of $6779,400 in cash, the gain of $1 S66, 100 in specie having been off, set by a decrease of $S,345, 800 in legal ten ders. Where this money went is somewhat problematical, but the statement analysed as to individual changes shows one large bank to have lost nearly $5,0 900 in cash. Its loans remain at nearly the same fig ure previously reported and it's deposits have fallen off $5 100000. Three of the other large banks have lost $3,000,O0O in cash, thus accounting for the total change of the week. The only inference is that the cash loaned. or an amount as large, has grown out of banks since it does not show in the deposits, and the increase in loans and the decrease in cash almost ex- actly offset each other. As the reserve requirements for them were not affected by havy deposit changes, the loss in cash reduces the surplus reserve by almost the same amount drawn out of the banks. The excess money in bank is now down to $25,- 6S8 450, an amount about one-half as large as reported for the same week last year. Since Jan. 29 this year, the loss in reserve has been SIC, 900 ,000 while deposits have in creased $l6 000, 900 and loans $23,000,00O In other words, loans are expanding faster than deposits, and cash is decreasing as a result.

BOTH MEN FOUGHT WELL
Jordan Gets the Decision IN the
Fight With Dixon.
IN TWENTY-FIVE ROUNDS
There was Little to Choose
Them, but Jordan Had o Shade
the Better Of His
Opponent.

New York, July ben Jordan OF
England. after fighting % hard rounds
with George Dixon, the colored cham
pion, was awarded the honors by Ref
cree Charley White tonight at the
Lenox Athletic club. Both men fougnt
well and there was little to choose De-
tween them. If anything, Dixon seemed
to have somewhat the better OF the
entire bout and was decidedly stronger
and more effective than when he met
Eddie Santry OF Chicago a lew weeks
ago in the same ring. Jordan had =
shade the better of his opponent in re-
gard to height and reach, and IT was
said that he weighed 126 pounds, whiie
Dixon turned the scales at 1171a pounds.
Dixon did the leading, but, unlike
many Of those who had previously met
the little colored fighter. Jordan went
TO him and mixed IL up all the time.
Several times Jordan used his elbow
at close quarters, but the referee con-
tended himself with c~autioning the
Britisher. Many of those who watched
the work of both thought a draw
would have been a very satisfactory
decision.
The first six rounds were full of gin-
ger. both landing frequently but did
little damage. In the seventh DIXON
swung left on face and right to the
head. sending Jordan down on his
hands and knees to the floor. Dixon
walked away to give Jordan a chance
to get up. amid applause. In the ninth
Jordan drew blood from the colored
boys nose.
During a rush in the 10th Dixon slipped
to the floor on his knees and Jordan held
him down with his elbows on his neck.
When Dixon came up il was seen that
Jordan had re-opened an old cut over
Dixon's left eye.
In the succeeding rounds the fighting
was fast and neither man scored any de-
cided advantage until the 22d round,
when Jordan sent a straight right over
the kidneys which made Dixon vince,
and a moment later Jordan landed a stag
gering blow over Dixon's heart.
In the sd Dixon LANDED a singing left
that drew blood from Jordan's nose. In
the oath Dixon rushed, but the honors
were about even. In the final round Dix
on repeatedly swung lefts on the ribs and
hooks to the head and Jordan responded
regularly with left jabs in the face. Dix
on seemed TO have the better Of the round
at the finish.
The referees decision in favor of Jor-
dan was greeted with cheers for Jordan
and counter cheers for Dixon. Dixon and
Jordan shook hands in a friendly manner.
