THE GENERAL UNDERGONE


New York, April 25.-The cotton market
opened steady in tone, with prices I'M
changed to points lower, the latter being
in the near months under light local selling.
As the forenoon progressed, however,
shorts became apprehensive, following es-
Inmates for a smaller movement at both
the ports and interior towns tomorrow, and
bought vigorously which, with buying or
ders from Wall street, Philadelphia, New
Orleans and Liverpool, sent prices sharply
upward. The bull crowd, however, made
little show of boldness, being deferred from
pressing their advantage by more satisfac-
tory crop news than has been received thus
far this season and by reports from Wash
ington OF ideal climatic conditions from
Texas to the Atlantic coast.
Then, too public and private dispatches
gave spot markets a disparaglng tenor, re-
fecting apathy among foreign and domestic
the dealers. by midday the buying move
ment had about run its course, and from
that time prices slowly settled under late
good weather news and light pressure from
the ring traders. The general undertone
of the market continued steady, however,
shorts being indisposed to accumulate addi-
tional obligations at the present low level
OF prices in the absence OF positive new
factors upon which to base a movement Of
that kind
The close was steady, net unchanged to
1 point lower.

ALASKA, the Yellowstone National Park,

can the scenic wonders of the mid
continent and the picturesque Pacific
coast be seer to better advantage. The
"trip can be made long or short rs de-
sired, and the passengers are personally
conducted through all the different
journeys, so that they arc relieved of
all the ordinary cares of travelling.
Alaska and the marvellous Yellowstone

San Francisco, CAL, March IL
Billy Lavigne, brother of kid
Lavigne, jumped into the ring in the
18th round of the Smith Lavigne fight,
last night and Referee Mcdonald was
forced to give the decision to Smith.
The end came SO suddenly and unez-
pectedly that the big crowd was for a
time at loss to understand the situa-
tion. The cause of Billy Lavigne's
action was the fact that George had re-
ceived couple of solid blows from
Smith on the jaw, and was paipably
ratified and somewhat groggy. Billy.
seeing his condition and fearing a
knockout, jumped through the ropes
and placed himself about his brothers.
shoulder, declaring he would never see
George Inundated by knockout. As
this action was clear violation of the
rules governing glove contests, Referee
Mcdonald had no other alternative
than to decide in favor of Smith.
While Lavigne was getting the worst
of the mixes in this round he was not
out Of the fight and might have stayed
through had not his brother inter
ferred.
The fight was a fast and vicious one
from the start. In the very beginning
Smith violated the agreement not to
strike in the clinches, fouling re-
peatedly. He was warned many times
