JeTries i'm Bad Condition.

Champion jim Jeffries is reported to be
in bad physical condition, and, from the
present outlook of affairs, the match with
Tom Sharkey fixed for October q will
either be postponed or indefinitely called
off. Dr. Reginald Sayers, who examined
Jeffries' arm by X-rays, said that he would
not be able TO decide before next Tuesday
whether or not Jeffries would be able TO
keep his engagement with Sharkey on the
9th instant.
A despatch from New York says: when
Jeffries got back 10 his training quarters at
Allenhurst, n. J., yesterday afternoon, he
carried his left arm crooked as though
it were in sling. His big fist was
swollen until it was one-third larger than
normal, and his forearm seemed to be In
famed So far as ability TO do work with
his left arm was concerned, Jeffries was
helpless. 1t is hard to see how he can get
in shape in time for the contest.
I'm addition to his injured arm, Jeffres
has a sore face. About week ago pim-
pie appeared on his upper lip. 1t was pain
full and unsightly. One of the English
fighters uuartered with Jeffries at Allen
hurst suggested to the big fighter that he
apply copper coin soaked in vinegar to
the pirnple TO draw the soreness out -
Jeffries did as he was advised without the
cognizance of Billy Delaney, his trainer
The consequence is that his upper lip looks
like blue awning.
In spite of the hopeful tone of Delaney s
conversation, it is not amiss to say that
the chances of Jeffries going into the ring
on October 27 are slim. In his present con-
dition Sharkey would slaughter him.
% i am very sorry to hear of Jeffries' in
jury" said Tom Sharkey tonight, 'and will
do all in my power to help him out OF his
troubles It's too bad that this should
happen just at this time. If Jeffries is un-
able TO fight me on the original date set for
the bout, will willingly agree to a short
postponement to help him out.
% i have been training for the fight a
long time, and unless ,Jeffries is able to
enter the ring in a reasonable time l shall
fight some other good man. OF course.
Jeffries is the man | want 10 fight, but
do not intend TO take advantage of him
when he is sick When meet him want
him to be at his best / do not want to
beat him when cripple, for such a vic
tory would be no honor to me will
wait for Jeffries to recover, and. proyid-
ing / am not defeated in the mean time
he can have a fight with me whenever he is
ready. -

The Local security Market.

The local stock market yesterday was dis

cases showing a tendency to advance. Busi-
ness was fairly active, Capital Traction es-
pecially figuring for large amount of sales
at higher prices. The entire number OF

GOSSIP oF THE eRIDIRoN.

The Georgetown University football team
will play the first home game of the sea-
son on the college gridiron this afternoon
with the team of the Maryland Agricultural
College.
Since the game with the Middies last
Saturday Coach Church has been patching
up the weak spots on the team. Several
changes have been made in the lineup,
and the team today is expected to be much
stronger than the one that played in An
napolis. Charlie Green, the crack end of
last year, will remain on the right end.
Barry is to stay on the left end, as his
work last Saturday attracted the attention
of all the side-liners. Kearns will play
right tackle, Heavy Moore right guard,
Captain Long centre, Lynch is to be tried
at left guard and Linneane will remain
in his old position, left tackle. The backs
will be played by Rice right halfback;
Devlin, left halfback; Quinn, quarterback,
and O'Gorman, fullback.
The lineup of the two teams is as fol-

Yesterdays stock market was in some
ways remarkable one. The opening
was at a good advance in nearly the en-
tire list, and during the first hour the
advance continued. Then there began a
selling movement by the professionals
that lasted until the last half hour of the
session. Prices went of to below the
opening figures, and in many cases TO a
lower level than that OF Mondays close.
The. entire tone OF speculation changed
IN the last few minutes OF the day, and
all the boom OF the morning was dupli-
Gated, the close being at very near the
top prices for the session. The charac-
teristics OF the day were more commits
sion buying and the apparent beginning
OF a compaign by several OF the cliques
on the one hand and selling by Keene and
his friends on the other. 1t is difficult
TO draw any conclusion as 10 the probable
course Of the immediate market, but at
any rate the street generally is inclined
To be much more hopeful. Money was
comparatively easy, around and per
cent for call loans.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE market today
was less active. and Its tone was less firm
than that of yesterday. There was no
change in the general conditions prevail
ing then, aside from the extent 10 which
the short interest was reduced in yester-
days advance, and, furthermore. the fact
that today nearly all of the so-called new
industrials showed evidences o5 pressure.
As regarded the latter, there was no par
ticular gossip current, although the gen.
eraI weakness in that quarter led 70 some
discussion as TO the results of the investi-
cation conducted by the Industrial Com
mission, sitting at Washington. in view
of the approaching session of Congress.
1t is hardly likely that the much-ad-
vertised views of a prominent operator on
the bear side which were published this
morning in various papers. could have ac-
counted for the decline in these stocks or
for the rather hesitating tendency of the
remainder of the market as, 10 say the
least. the motives of the gentleman in ques-
tion are open 10 suspicion.
Londons influence in the local market
was again small The early cabled ad-
vices showed the American quarter Of the
London market at material advances above
the local closing figures, but the subse-
euent dealings here for foreign account
continued in very light volume. Although
London discount continued to relax, the
sterling exchange market here remained
firm at yesterdays level. and, as then
noted. ii will probably retain that tend
ency until the results of EngIands finan-
cling Of the South African war are more de-
finitely known. 1t is still the opinion,
however. of the largest and most reliable
foreign banking houses that exports of gold
TO England in connection with the ex-
pected eXchequer operations are most i'm
probable, unless the local rates for money
should be reduced 30 or so per cent A few
interesting statements of railway traffic
