WITH THE CRICKETERS

In the last communication received from
the secretary of the Los Angeles Cricket
Club the southerneS reiterate the express
sion of their wish to visit this city and
play two days match against the picked
players of San Francisco. They can get
together a fairly strong team from the
following: G. Belts. w. S. Belfeld, M. G.
Burmester, H. Jones Bateman, R, n Hay.
Mr.. Chapman. E. Cawston, H. Little, J
E. Martin, c. E. Maud, P: Pedley, ];
Scott, II. Wilfrid Walker, E. B. Ward and
w. H. Young. The Southerners are clearly
of the opinion that the cricketers of this
city ought to defray half the cost of
transportation for the visitors, saying
that it has been the custom in Los An
geles to pay the full expenses of visiting
teams, as was done in the case of Bak-
ersfield eleven visiting the southern capi-
tai, though there was at that time no
organized club there. They say that they
would be willing to pay half the, expenses
of any San Francisco team that later
may visit Los Angeles and suggest that
the match might be played on an inclosed
ground and gate money charged.
would be glad to provide board and lodg-
ing for the visitors during their stay
here, it is doubtful whether they will see
their way clear to pay half their travelling
expenses. 1t is certain that the associae
ton, which still has painful recolIections
of the visit of the Australian team to this
city, cannot sustain any such outlay

GOFF COULD NOT
GET TO WEIGHT
As q SequeDce His Proposed Bout
With Frank McCoDnell Next
Thursday Is Off.

Charley Gof will not take Al Neilrs
place in the proposed boxing bout be-
tween the latter and Frank Mcconnell.
When Mcconnell and Goff met yesterday
to agree upon a match they found them
selves at variance on the important mat
ter of weight. Golf would not make the
match unless allowed to weigh in at 15S
pounds. AS Mcconnell is down to 146 he
would not concede so great an advan-
tage. The negotiations ended right there.
Mcconnell and Green will meet this
morning and will endeavor to agree on
a match at 154 pounds, to take place late
in August They will probably reach an
agreement, as both are anxious for an
other bout.
With no match in prospect. the bouts
in the Olympic Club arena next Friday
principals will be: c. S. Vickers and
George Baker, 12S pounds; George Simp
son and Charles Thurston, catch weights,
and F. Asst and r. A. Woods, 14S pounds.
AS all these have established regulations
as boxers, the bouts should prove inter-
eSting.

season. There is keen rivalry between
the San Francisco and Santa Cruz teams,

Mother and Child Burned

Mr.. A. T. Blake, of Folkston, brother
of our townsman, Mr.. A. E. Blake, has
been in the city a few days on business.
Yesterday he received the painful intel
ligence from home that his wife and
little Is months old child were severely
burned. He was so shocked by the dis
tressing news that DR.. Shepard had
to be called to his relief. He left last
evening for home, and it is hoped that
he may find that his wife and child
have not been as seriously burned as
reported.
The child YES playing near the fire

was badly burned, and so was its
mother while trying to put out the fire.

In the meantime, Colonel Parker, OF

the flank and handsomely repulsed a
heavy column of the enemy who were
moving to get in my rear flank. some
800 or 400 of them surrendering to him

made under a terrific fire OF musketry

Colonies Grimes and Cox, which was

some prisoners, who did not hear the
command to retire. Colonel Bennett
held his position until ordered to fall

RRADSrnEET,S REPORT
Advance in Price and Demand I'm Iron
PrOducts-Cheerful Zone Of Cotton
Goods Market-Increased Demand for
Heavy Winter ~GOOds-heavy Grain
Continued

New York, February 10.-Brad-
streets or tomorrow will say: That
some of the favorable effects are like
of the week is evidenced by reports Of
improved distribution at retail of
heavy winter goods, while he effect
on spring trade appears to be chiefly
regarded as one of r~etardation rather
than of positive injury. In leading sta
piles the strength of prices is still a
feature, all the gains made in January
being sustained, if not furtehr i'm
proved.
Some reflection of the cold wave il
found in the advance in wheat, show
ing an inclination to concede some
damage to the winter wheat crop in
view of claims that snow protection
is lacking in many sections.
The strength Of cotton, while to
some extent based on smaller receipts
and a reduction of the usual winter"
crops, appears mainly due to the cheer
full tone of the cotton goods market
and the strength of demand prices
manifested by those staples, both at
home and abroad.
In aggressive strength, alike of de-
mand price, however, iron and
steel are easily first this week and the
list of advances reported this week is
almos a rollcall Of that industry's pro-
ducts. Among the advances noted
might be mentioned barbed wire, steel
rails, southern, eastern and Bessemer
pig iron, nails and wire and plates, the
most strength being exhibited at west
ern markets.
Copper is again higher and quota
tons are now not far from those made
in the great French copper corner
which burst ten years ago. Tin shows
some reaction in the speculative move
ment.
Weather conditions have not favor
ed the lumber trade, but reports, par
ticularly from the hardwood branch,
are still very favorable and prices ex-
hibit all their old strength.
Hides are firm and some activity
and advanc in leather is reported.
A air trade is doing in wool n a
rather better tone is reported in the
wooden goods market.
Anthracite coal, favored by cold
weather. is active.
Wheat exports, including -four ship
ments, for the week aggregate $50. 500
bushels, against $685. AIS bushels last
week, 3,419,5 o4 bushels in the CORES
