A Fake Sparring Match.

The much-talked of fight between Joe
Sweeny of Chicago and Billy Peyton of this
city took place at Steubner's road house
last night. There was good-sized crowd
present. Nearly all the spectators agreed
that the alleged contest was a bare-faced
fake. The men spared gently for four
rounds, at the close OF which there was a
mild exchange, during which Peyton made
a mock attempt to foul Although not hit
Sweeny fell to the ground in apparent
agony. Referee Loving then did his part
and gave the decision to Sweeny on a foul
Owing to the protests of the spectators
against being robbed, he called all bets Off
Subsequently men near the fighters admit
ted that it had been arranged for Peyton to
lose on foul, but that he had played his
part badly. Neither man was hurt in the
least Tony Banks and John Boone fought
four lively, clever rounds to a draw as a
preliminary

CHICAGO, November 23.-Wheat
closed as@kc under yesterday to-day,
influenced by the weakness of Liverpool
and a predicted liberal increase in the
visible. Corn weakened with wheat and
on lack of demand, December closing
%@M lower, and May &c under. Oats
closed at a loss of 1s@9sc, and provis-
ions unchanged to a trifie higher
Wheat opened weak in sympathy with
Liverpoops decline. The lassitude was
not overcome during a day of small
trading with half the pit empty De-
cember opened 1s@Ac under yester-
days close at 66% @66Bc, and May 1sc
lower at 71Ac. Fluctuations were mar
row and the decline was slow but per-
sistent. The visible it was predicted
would increase 1,500, 600 bushels. In the
face Of this a gloomily worded story of
Hessian fly inroads in Kansas failed as
a tonic. Changing Of December con-
tracts for May formed the main part
of the business. Final prices were at
the bottom, December closing 3s@1ac
lower at 661z@665sc, and May &c un-
der at 70%c. The days clearances in
wheat and flour from Atlantic ports
were equal to $4,000 bushels. Minnea-
polls and Duluth reported 705 cars,
against 766 last week The correspond
ing day of last year was a holiday.
Local receipts were 7S cars, % of con-
tract grade. Liverpool was influenced
chiefly by the report that the Aus
tralian crop would be double that of last
year.
Corn was weak, helplessly relinquish-
ing it's recent gain when the strength
of wheat ebbed away. There was scat
tered liquidation throughout the ses-
sion, with little shipping demand and
no foreign inquiry here. The ground
was reported still broad for the move

mot IN" TO MR.. MKINLEY.


A Washington correspondent Of the
New York World says: President Nc
Kinley had quite an amusing exper-
fence recently when he visited the
State, War and Navy Departments
shortly after p. n, when the depart
ments close. He and Assistant Secre-
tary Cortelyou were out for walk, but
when they reached the street it began
to rain.
The President suggested that they
take refuge in the State Department.
They passed into the building without
question. and walked TO Secretary
Hays Office on the second floor The
Secretary's Office was closed, and the
President himself tried every door in
the department. A messenger finally
informed them that all the clerks and
officials had gone.
Wen call on Secretary Root, in the
War Department said the President,
and they walked around the corridor.
The same conditions confronted them
there, and the President as last chance
went to the Navy Department to see
Secretary Long
Here they walked into a reception
room, and the President in telling the
story to the Cabinet detailed what
transpired.
Z met a bright young colored man.

and stated that he would Gee whether
or not the Secretary was in. The mes
senger apparently did not recognize me,
We sat waiting for several minutes, and
the messenger returned and said:
I'm sorry, sir, but you have just
missed Secretary Long. He only this
minute left for home"
The President then turned to Secre-
tary Long with the remark:
Long, if | were you l would promote

lent liar l ever heard"
Now every messenger in the depart
ment is anxiously awaiting visit from
the President.

Stocks-The stock market as whole
continued duh and neglected while pro-
fessional operators worked their will
with a few stocks, marking them UP or
Offering them down successfully. A
singular feature of the very narrow
market was the number Of extremely
low priced stocks, usually designated
as "cats and dogs" which were taken
up and moved widely. A number Of
these were traded in all quotations
until $40 per share and still others a:
about $40 or less. Some of these stocks
TO not appear in the record for months,
and usually only on the elimination of
a furious bull speculation which picks
them for an advance after every other
available stock has been exhausted
Some OF the individual stocks which
lose yesterday reacted to-day, while
other stocks dominated by identical or
closely affiliated interests were moved
to a higher level to correspond. There
were some points of weakness, notably
in the anthracite group, on account of
the discussion of new line to be work
cd Independently, but the undertone of
the market was firm in expectation of
a good weekly bank statement. The
strength of individual stocks had nat
ural tendency to keep the general list
hard The money market did not re-
fleet any increased lending powers by
the banks. The demand for United
STATES per cents of 1925 is an indica-
tion of the transferrence of savings
bank investment for the short term
bonds which the government is re-
applied, of course, offers no relief to
the money market. Some transfers ale

as soon as they become available to

of the local money rate was sufficient
