THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. H.-Expectations OF
further stress Of liquidation in the
stock market were not disappointed
this morning. Heavy offerings were
thrown on the market from the outset
and the bears were very bold and de-
termined in Offering prices down. But
1t was obvious that there was not so
an acute a pressure of necessity on the
market to realize as was the case yes
terday and several developments over
night helped to encourage a support of
prices.
The market, therefore, did not at any
time take on the extreme demoraliza-
tion of yesterday, as was feared, and
about midway of the session the bears
had relinquished their position. The
conflict Of speculative interests was a
fierce one before the issue was decided,
and prices moved both ways at once in
the opening market and never long in
one direction. The determined support
in Sugar was a notice to the bears from
the outset that they were not to have
things all their own way. and though
they wiped out Sugars opening rise in
short order and made heavy inroads at
other points in the industrial list, and
even forced St. Paul half point be
low yesterdays low level for the year.
the absorptive power of the steady
buying demand proved too much for
the reactionists. Subsequent attacks
were made upon the Iron and Steel
stocks, the New York city specialties
and, in fact, every stock where any
Information could be had of heavy
account on the long side with the
hope of wipng out margins and fore
ing liquidations. 1t was noticeable, on
the other hand, that the buying de-
mand died away at the higher level of
prices achieved This encouraged re-
newed inroads by the bears in the
period on the last reaction, when they
refrained from attacking the market,
and the closing was firm, near the top
level, at substantial net gains all
through the list. Total sales, 10S3,000
Bonds rallied from early weakness in
eympathy with stocks. Total sales par
value S2,045, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged

HEBER EXTENSION.
In Anticipation of Railroads Entry,
the Town Becomes Metropolitan.
Especial Correspondence.)


Heber, Aug. 11.-Mr. Yard and sever
al other railroad engineers were in the
valley yesterday. BY Saturday all the
route to Heber will be oss-sectioned.
1t is said on good authority that the
merchants will be able to ship their
freight into this valley by rail by the
18th of September.
The committee representing the peO-
pie of Heber in the right of way propO-
sition has taken a sub-cOntract to do
part of the grading. and appointed
Most of the work on this sub-contract
piled on right of way The right of
way committee finds itself short about
$500, and concluded to take part of
the grade work. as a great many people
would give a donation for right of way
in work on the grade rather than give
cash. Several jobbers have been as
sisting the people to furnish a right of
way for the railroad. Those who are
sending goods into this valley realize
it will be to their benefit to put goods
in the town by rail. rather than having
to haul them over a very rough road
from Park City. The last jobber the
committee heard from was the J. G.
Mcdonald Candy company of Salt Lake
City. who sent a very nice letter and
enclosed check for S25 to assist in fur
nishing right of way for the railroad
Already the people of Heber are be-
ginning to feel they are of some i'm
portance, and the town is assuming
metropolitan aspect.

GREEN MAY BOX IN SALT LAKE
WELTERWEIGHT WANTS TO AP-
PEAR AT SALT PALACE.
Green Was Once the Idol of Califor-
MIA and Is Still Nifty Man With
His Mitts.

George Green, the champion middle
weight of the Pacific coast, once the
idol of California, looked on as the
greatest of welterweights, has offered to
meet any middleweight in the world at
the Salt Palace grounds.
Amusement Director Frank L. Talbot
has received dispatch from Green to
this effect. He has not yet submitted
the matter to the board of directors, so
that no action has been taken. 1t is,
however. believed that the directors
Will look favOrably on the proposition,
providing the purse demanded is not
too high. He does not state the figure
which he wants, but he said that he
would come if suitable arrangements
could be made.
In the. zenith of his fame Green de-
manded very large purses. That was.
however, when he was undefeated.
Since then he has been put out by both
Joe Walcott and Tommy Ryan when
in the weiterweight class. But he has
won from some of the best welters in
the country. such as Mysterious Billy
Smith and Charley McKeever- OF
course, to get one of. the firSt-claSs
middleweights to meet Green would re-
quire a large purse. But still it is be-
lieved that such a match would prove
great drawing card. GREEN'S offer to
meet any one in the world is SO broad
that negotiations might be opened with
Mccoy, Craig, the Harlem Coffee
Cooler" Mysterious Billy Smith and
MANY others of the cracks.
When the board met last night it
considered the proposition made by
Jack Weday and Willard Bean to have
their glove contest at the Salt Palace
grounds. The scheme was rejected.
chiefly because the two men G not
amount to much as fighters.

FOUGHT TO A DRAW.
George Dixon and Eddie Santry Have
Lively Bout

New York, Aug. 11.-George Dixon,
the colored feather weight champion,
and Eddie Santry of Chicago, met to-
night before the Broadway Athletic
club for twenty rounds at 125 pounds,
and referee Johnny White declared the
bout a draw.
The club house was crowded to its
utmost limit, nearly 5000 persons being
present Dixon put up a game exhibit
ton and Santry showed wonderful i'm
provement since he appeared here last.
Santry's advantage in height stood him
in good stead, and the way he lodged
his head away from great many of
Dixons clever leads was extremely
clever. Dixon at times was wild and he
frequently oVerreached himself, using
poor judgment as TO distance. Santry
went right to his man and from the
very beginning showed that he meant
! to fight without adopting spTinting tao
tics. Tom O'Rourke, Tom Sharkey and
Charley Miner were DiXon's seconds,
while Johnny German. Charley Burns
and Jack Quinn were Santry's
In the opening round Dixon was the
aggreSsor, with honors about even. A
left swing from Dixon in the second
landed on Santry's eye and the Chica-
goan fought back viciously, driving his
right to the body and at close quarters
bringing IL up 10 the neau. George was
wild with his left swings in that round.
as well as in the third, but he managed
TO get his left hard to the wind.
In the fourth round DiXon's right eye
was reopened with a right swing from
Santry, and the latter paid attention
to this mark throughout the rest of the
fight. At the close of the eighth round
Dixon swung his right on Santry's head
and Eddie replied with a similar blow,
landing back of the neck, and Dixon
stumbled as the gong rang. When San
try went TO his corner his nose was
bleeding. During the ninth Dixon's
left ear was burst with right swing.
but he kept throwing his left to the
body. In the tenth Dixon landed a
back hand blow with his left and fol-
lowed with a hard right to the body.
From this to the end of the nineteenth
round it was a ding-dong contest. with
Dixon mainly on the aggressive and
Santry blocking very cleverly. Dixon
came like a whirlwind in the last round.
forcing and rushing. but neither had
any decided advantage at the finish.
Tommy Sullivan of Brooklyn and
Jimmy Devers of this city met in the
preliminary. They also fought twenty
rounds. Each weighed 120 pounds. Sui
Ivan won.
