sideration of GU Der cent of the receipts,

which will not be far from $33, 1000 left their
training quarters early today for hotels
close to the prospective scene of conflict.
Both men seemed to be. as they said they
were in the best physical condition pos
sible, and both professed the utmost con-
fidence of winning. The party that ac-
companed Jeffries from Asbury Park to
Coney Island comprised VIM. A. Brady, his
manager, and Ross O'Neill, Sam Thall,
Tommy Ryan. Ed Dunkhorst Jack JEFF
fries and Dick Walters. Brady assured
Jeffries that he would be able to put Cor
bett to sleep in three rounds.
Corbett, who has done his training at
Lakewood, N. j., was up at O'Clock, took
a bath and was given a rub down, after
which he ate a hearty breakfast. little
later he and his trainers took train for
New York. Mrs. Corbett was one Of the
party. and she professed unbounded faith
in her husbands ability to win. Hes not
bit worried. she said to a reporter

round look out for the fall Of Jeffries. I'm
prepared for any kind of a fight and it may
| be over in the first. too. with James J. Cor
bett the winner
The fight is to be twenty-five rounds
Charley White will be referee; official time
keeper Of the club. Joe Dunn, and an
nouncer. Joe Humphreys. Tom O'Rourke
will hold the watch for Jeffries, while John
Considine will do likewise for Corbett.
The men will enter the ring at 9:45 o'clock
and promptly at 10 o'clock will begin fight
ing.
Jeffries has many points Of advantage
over Corbett. To begin with, he Is nine
years younger than the ex-champion and is
an inch taller. He will go into the ring
weighing 30 pounds and Corbett's weight
is 1873. The normal girth of Jeffries' chest
is forty-four inches and Of Corbett's forty
two inches: expanded. Jeffries' chest meas
ures forty-nine inches and Corbett's forty
four and a half inches. With arms extend
ed Jeffries reaches seventy-six and three
fourths inches and Corbett seventy-four
and three-fourths inches. Jeffries' biceps
measure sixteen and COrbetts fourteen
inches.
Corbett and his adherents count upon
perior skill and agility and ring generalship
to overcome the seeming advantage of the
present holder Of the championship honors,
and there is the usual talk of new tactics
developed in the course Of recent training
at Lakewood.

Little Betting on Result.

There has been little betting on the result
Of the fight up to this time. but both the
pugilists have friends who promise to back
their favorites freely later in the day and
at the ringside. The, odds are said to be
to 1 on Jenries. at which price Brady
says he is ready to place 5000 on the
champion. Milton, Rockert Of San Fran
cisco has $3.50 to place against $1,000 Of
Jeffries' money. Charley Mahoney has
$500 of Jeffries money. but will give no
better than 2 to l. Dan O'Rourke has bet
1000 to $1,000 that Jeffries will win in If
teen rounds, Fred Williams taking the long
end Of the proposition.

CHICAGO, June Wheat was steady,

NEW YORK, June 1.-The stock market
was irregular during the forenoon, but il
subsequently developed quite general
strength under the lead of the granger
shares. These stocks. together with the
Atchison issues ard to less degree, the
Pacific stocks. all advanced rapidly, with
the dealings showing considerable de-
gree of animation. 1nasmuch as no new
developments are to be looked for imm--
diately in the affairs of the so-called
granger companies, 1t may be assumed
that the buying of these stocks was to
some extent of an investment character.
The general market, however, did not
possess the uniformity of movement that
characterized it yesterday. Sugar Refining
was again the conspicuous feature in re-
spect of activity, but the fluctuations in
the stock were very errauc.
A further advance of 10 cents in the hun
bred pounds was announced today in re-
fined sugars. all of the companies partici-
pating in the quotations. Notwithstanding
this circumstance, however, and this morn
ing's announcement in regard to the COM
bination effected by some of the indie
pendent concerns, Sugar Refining broke
sharply from its opening level, and sub
sequently the stock fluctuated irreguiariy-
The movements elsewhere in the indus
trials, including in that group tennessee
Coal and Iron, appeared to be under some
pressure while tobacco stocks advanced
sharply, notably for Continental Tobacco.
The local traction shares were only mod
erately active. but were firm.
The particular strength shown by Atchi-
son preferred was, of course, reflection
of the belief that a dividend of 2 1-2 per
cent will be declared upon the stock on
Wednesday next. Discussion of the rate
of dividend to be declared on Sugar on the
same day was active also, as it was as
ment in trade conditions, the dividend
would be declared at no lower rate than
was fixed in March last.
New York Central was particularly
firm feature of the market, and was un-
usually active The quarterly dividend on
this stock will also be declared toward the
close of the month, but there has been
little discussion as to the probabilities of
any advance in the rate being made IN
this instance.
The London market was reported firm.
but exceedingly dull. with very slight adj
vances appearing in the American quar-
ter On balance foreign houses sold q
small amount of stocks in this market,
and their somewhat disappointing attitude
was to an extent responsible for the cir
regular appearance of the market In the
early dealings. Little news of any fnan-
ciai significance developed with the course
of the day. There were no alterations in
the money market or foreign exchange
conditions
