SHARKEY'S
ADVICE TO
HIS FRIENDS
Tells Each Of Them to
Wager That He Will
Defeat Jeffries.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-To some friends
who were grouped around him this morn
ing at his training quarters in New York
Sharkey said positively that he would
knock out Jeffries in fifteen rounds in the
contest for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world at the Coney Island
Sporting Club on Friday night, and ad-
vised all his admirers to have small bets
on him. The sailor pugilist made a state
ment after a thorough summing up of his
own and Jeffries record as fighters.
Sharkey pointed out that 1t was an open
question as to whether Jeffries could take
punishment or not, while his own capa-
city for punishment had been tested thor
oughly with Fitzsimmops. Mccoy, Maher
and other noted hard-hitting pugilists.
Personally, the sailor-p -pugilist said, he did
not think that Jeffries could stand any
great amount of punishment He declared
in positive terms that he would prove the
correctness of his estimate Of the Cali
fornian's ability to take punishment when

In the humping match as the barrier

Jared badly, losing four or five lengths
to begin with. Songer then made no eff
fort to get up to the leaders. For his
strange conduct he was ordered suspended
by the judges for the balance of the week.
In explaining the ride Songer said sew
eral owners had complained about his
unnecessary punishment of their horses
and he supposed he was doing right in
not trying to use Lodestar when appar-
emily the horse had no chance.
On Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock, at
the corner of Fifteenth and Valencia

THE COPRA INDUSTRY.
An Important Trade May be Trans
ferred TO the United States
from Marseilles.

Consul Skinner at Marseilles invites
attention to the fact that the occupa.
tion of the Philippines by the United
States may lead to the transfer to the
United States of an industry now al
most exclusively confined to the city
of Marseilles. He refers to the copra
industry, and states the situation as
| follows:
THE crushing of oleaginous seeds
and cocoanuts. for the extraction of the
oil they contain. has for many years
given employment to hundreds of work.
men. and the skillful use of blended oils
in the manufacture of soap gave to this
city its worldwide reputation for the
latter. Inmore recent times, the Amer
lean cotton seed oil has to large ex-
tent replaced the copra or cocoanut oil
at the same time severely crippling the
seed-crushing business. A soap manu-
facturer advises me that the cotton oil
cannot. however, entirely supplant the
cocoanut oil, as the former, if used
alone, produces soap too soft 10 be
acceptable to commerce; and the lat
ter, il unmixed with cotton or peanut
oil. makes soap as much too hard
/ am informed that mixture of about
half and half produces the best results,
and that the failure of Marseilles man
ufacturers TO maintain these proper
tions has been followed by distinct
falling off in the quality of some ia
nous brands of Marseilles soaps.
"rhe copra or eocoanuts crushed in
Marseilles come almost exclusively
from the Philippine islands. In the
year 1897 the imports amounted to $780,
120 metric quintals, in addition to
which 1910 metric quintals were i'm
ported from the French colonies. The
highest price paid at Marseiles during
1897 was $694 and the lowest S5.3l.
The nuts fall from the trees and lie on
the ground until the hard shell sep
arates from the kernel and decays. The
kernels appears to lose none Of its use
full qualities, though permitted to re-
main on the ground fer year or more,
When a favorable opportunity occurs
the copra is gathered, dumped into
some small coasting boat, and eventual
ly reaches Marseilles. At the present
time the price is uncertain and almost
double the average figure, because of a
complete suspension of arrivals from
Manila. On January II the total stock
of copra in the docks and warehouses
was only 1880 quintals, and the fear
now prevails that the troubles among
the natives will prevent the shipment
of any considerable quantity for some
time to come.
"The assurance that means of COM
nunication between the Philippines
and the United States will soon be
established will make it appear easy
for American capital to build and oper-
ate crushing mills: and. with cc""r

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

hSlO oAO OOfOl cA
boys and hundreds of men en-
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings a weekly profit Of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds of families live comfortably
on the profits of the sale of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the POST
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An nv;stigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies of the
daily Post-Dispatch than the
combined sales of the two other
English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and 60 when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets ach having his own
peculiar way of ''crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite different
on Sunday. The papers are
printed in the morning and by
six O'Clock the boys and men are
out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday
papers. Many boys take out 800
papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all
h. can do to get over the ground,
Sundays as on week days finds
the Post-Dispatch everywhere.
It's a ready seller. It's the
"most for the money" The
Sunday Post. Dispatch has many
original and exclusive features,
including the Colored Comic
Weekly.
These great newspaper offices
have what is called "Circulat-
ion Department." the object Of
which is to promote the sale of
the papers. This department
answers all requests for sample
copies (which are sent free), and
so on. In the country as in St.
Louis, they are constantly look.
