Stocks-There we're weak points in
the stock market in the start to-day,
but the underlying elements of strength
promised at one time to overcome OBJ
stacles and carry prices uniformly to a
higher level. Apprehension of weak
showing in tomorrow's bank state
ment turned the tide towards the side
of reaction in the late dealings. The
level of prices vas in most cases car
ried sha1 Jiy below last night and the
net gains remaining were much re-
duced from the extreme advances OF
the day. The most influential factor
in causing weakness was the obvious
liquidation going on in Northern Pa
cific which is attributed to one of the
leading financial interests in the prop
erty. The absorption of the stock was
attributed to the leading contending in
terest in the property. This process OF
transference is significant of the dis
cord said to exist in the property.
Rumors are rife also OF the breaking UP
of the agreements which have been so
favorable factor in the Northwestern
railroad VIC ID The effect was mani
fest not only in Northern Pacific, but
in Union Pacific ana other railroads in
the region affected. Delaware & Hud-
son was raided down to 1914 with &C
companying rumors of dividend reduc-
ton. This is the lowest price for sew
eral years and is an accurate reelection
of the decline in lhe anthracite trade,
other stocks affected by that trade FIJI
ing in sympathy. Notwithstanding
these elements of weakness, the market
showed good recuperative power, the
buying of Peoples Gas particularly be-
ing a sustaining factor. This stock
rose an extreme "a. Burlington recoy-
cred a half of its quarterly dividend

Denver &c Rio Grande preferred also
showed continued strength. There
were conspicuous advances in a num-
Der of trunk lines, including B. e o.,
and a late movement in Brooklyn Tran
sit, Chicago & Eastern Illinois and a
group of Southwestern railroad stocks.
The passing of the Chicago G Alton
story resulted in losses of 2 to points
in Kansas City, Pittsburg G. Gulf, Chi

The expectation CT an unfavorable
bank statement is based on the nom
activity of the week in the money mar
ket, which must have largely increased
the reserve requirements by expansion
Of loans. There is nothing in the cur
rency movement to the interior or sub
treasury operations to indicate large
increase in cash to meet the require
ments, so that a further decrease in
surplus is looked for. The local money
market continued easy to-day.

HOLDING THE PASS.
Canadian Officials Turn Back
American Revenue Officers.

Skaguay. March 6-CVia Seattle, Wn.,)
March 12.-RumOrs were rife a day or
two ago that serious complications were
threatened between prOspectOrs bound
for the Yukon and Canadian customs
officials located at the new custom
house, II miles from Skaguay. It was
reported that 300 men had banded
themselves together for the purpose of
resisting payment of duty. Investiga-
ton, however, proved that the story
was unfounded. Duties are being col
lected with the greatest regularity. and
there has been no refusal to pay them.
Those who have paid duties say that
the Canadian customs officials have not
shown an arbitrary spirit.
On February o. a Montreal party
with Customs Inspector Gates acting
as convoy reached the Canadian custom
house at White Pass. Deputy United
States Collector Floyd of this port had
issued Instructions to Inspector Gates
to accompany the party clear through
to Lake Bennett. Arriving at the Ca
madam custom house, however, the chief
of the party conferred with Captain
Strickland, the Canadian collector as
to whether he was compelled to take
the American inspector to Lake Ben
nett.
NO" replied Capt. Strickland. You
are on British soil and you can tell your
convoy to get"
Inspector Gates returned to Skaguay
and reported the occurrence to Deputy
Collector Floyd. Mr.. Floyd will contin-
ne TO instruct the conveys to accom-
pany any goods to Lake Bennett, even
if they are turned back by the Cana
dams until he hears from Washington.
Between Skaguay and White Pass
there are estimated to be $500 people
lining the route. while beyond the pass
an equal number are making their way
toward the lakes.
With the burning of the steamer
Whitelaw, the outfits of 10 passengers
were also destroyed. The steamer it
self is said to have been fully insured.

EVERYBODY DISPLEASED.
Neither Sharkey Nor Choynski is
Satisfied With the Decision.

San Francisco, March 12.-Last nights
battle at Woodward's pavilion between
heavyweights ChOynski and Sharkey is
the talk Of the town today ACCUSE
tons Of foul play, robbery and similar
uncOmplimentary terms are applied to
both contestants, and the referee, Geo.
Green comes in for a deal of censure
from friends of both men. but the ma
Jority of sporting men seem to agree on
the fact that he erred in declaring the
fight draw after that foul committed
by Sharkey- Green says: Il think
that my decision was perfectly just to
both Sharkey and ChOynski. Any fair
minded man would have decided the
contest a draw.
In the last round. Sharl1ey rushed
ChOynskt to the ropes and both men
clinched. Sharkey kept pushing and
when one of his hands became free he
showed it up under Choynski's chin and
pushed him through the ropes.
If had been positive that Sharkey
committed the foul Intentionally I
would have decided the battle in
ChOynsl1i's favor 1 waited until ChOyn-
ski was lifted back into the ring. I saw
in an instant that he was dazed and it
would have been an injustice to make
him continue the battle
Sharkey has improved wonderfully in
his boxing since he met FitzsimmOns
in this city in 1896, but as soon as he is
given any severe punishment, such as
ChOynski gave him at times in last
nights fight, he loses all control of him
self He said today: Il was robbed.
I blame my friends, who advised me to
accept Green, who, 1 should have
known, was a close friend of Choynski
and would be inclined to give him the
best of the decision. I could not have
won unless knocked him completely
out He hit me in clinches and no one
took any notice of it, but they watched
every blow I struck. Choynski was
counted out by the time-l1eepers before
Green called il a draw. I will never
fight in California again, as 1 see now
that 1 can't get a square chance here.
I am willing to meet either Maher or
Mccoy for purse of $4,000 in some
eastern city where I am assured of fair
treatment"
ChOynski showed few signs of pun
ishment today He criticised Green Sc
verely for calling the mill draw He
claims that Sharkey's blows did not
hurt him, but that the sailors football
tactics and wrestling weakened him
terribly. but even in his weakened con-
ditiOn he thought he could have whip
ped Sharkey in a few more rounds if
the sailor had not thrown him bodily
through the ropes upon the floor.
