The Features Of the Money and Stock
Markets.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-The market
for stocks continues an enigma, which
any ordinary rules OF Interpretation are
unavalllng to solve. Yesterdays buy
ing Of stocks was prompted by the ex-
recitation of a favorable bank state
fnent. which proved more favorable
than the most sauEulne expectations,
vet the market lost even the small ami
nation II had been showing when the
statement appeared on the tape. The
net changes in prices are without sig
plelcapce, those Of any amount being re-
stricted TO insignificant stocks, Lon
don reported firm and confident mar
ket. but the confidence did not extend To
the point OF holding American stocks
up to parity level. and the opening here
was very rugged and irregular. The
lack of any upward impetus from Lon
don and the utter indifference mani
tested to the bank statement offered a
poor market in which to realize, or SELL
Ing by yesterdays buyers might have
been larger. In the absence OF de-
mand they SCENE satisfied to keep their
holdlngs up, but there was no lnclinn-
dion 10 ndd 10 them. The bank state
ment fully reflected the expected relluX
OF unemployed funds to New York, the
total sale In cash being no less than
2li $4,000. II was not suspected that
employment for those funds had been
found to as large an extent as was In
dlcated by the loan expansion OF N,759,-
100. The buying OF mercantile paper
by the banks which has been more nc
tive during the week. will scarcely ae-
count for much Of this increase, and
certainly no operations on the stock
exchange are suhioient 70 account for Il.

THE BIBLE AND FIGHTING.
Jefrfes' Father Tells of Combats in
the Scriptures.

Chicago, May 25.-There is Biblical
justification for prize fighting, accord
ing to the Rev. Alexander Jefries, father
of the champion.
God a two sons and one was
against the other,' said the Rev. Mr.
Jeffries. "One was the son OF light,
the son of the darkness, the prince of
the bottomless pit. One was opposed
to the other, and they fought and the
best son Won"
It was in the training headquarters of
Tommy Ryan that he found occasion
to speak OIL the subject. Mr.. Ryan, who
is working hard to get to the point
where he can knock out Kid Mccoy,
quit the punching bag to listen. Jack
ferries, the youngest son of the al
gelist, and others were present
Then Adam had two sons and they
fought continued Mr.. Jeffries-
Which got the decision?" asked one
of the rubbers.
And there was Abraham, who had

CUPPY GOES 10 BOSTON.
Frank Selee Takes a Chance With the
Former Great Twirler.

St. Louis, May 25.-George, "Cuppy,"
or Mig" as he is best known in the
baseball world, is no longer a member
of the home team, his release having
been purchased by Manager Selee, of
the BostOns, yesterday. The Robisons
did not state what the purchase price
amounted to, but Cuppy is believed to
have gone pretty cheap, as he was not
needed here, and it is highly prOblemat-
ical whether he will eve regain his old
form. A few years back, with the old
Clevelands, Cuppy divided honOrs with
Young, and was rated as one of the top
notchers among rubber mystifierS-
When right Mig" has a slow ball sec
ond to lone in point of Effectiveness
among all twirlers- It was he who aid
ed Tebeau'S old gang to twice down
the champion Baltimores in the Temple
Cup series, and Hanlon has often said
that his players feared Cuppy more
han any other pitcher they were ever
asked to oppose. For the past three
seasons Cuppy has been carried by the
RObisons without doing much work.
Last eason Cuppy made twenty trips to
the firing line, and was returned a
winner eleven times. This campaign
he had been worked but once by Tebeau
and that in that unfinished game with
Cincinnati at League park on May I.
The game went but four innings, with
the Reds leading Az, when rain put an
end to hOstilities. Cuppy showed very
fairfOrm in that game, as it was through
Cross misplays at third that the Gin
cinnatiS secured most of their runs.

coRBETTs BIG PROFITS.
Considine Says the Fighter Gets ST.
$50 a Week.

Hot Springs, Ark, May 25.-George
D. Considine, manager of James J.. Cor
bett, said tOday that it would be impos-
sible for the former champion to fight
until his hands are all right, so that
any further declarations of Brady that
Jeffries is ready to battle Corbett at
nee are empty bluffs.
How the public sized I'D the late
fight" said Considine, lis shown in the
offers of engagements to both men,
While Jefries is given few opportunities
at $3.50 d week, Corbett is overwhelmed
with engagements at more than $1,000
a week. He is playing in Keith's Bos-
ton theater now for $3.50 a week, and
is urged to appear throughout the Keith
circuit. He had Jeffries whipped when
both hands were injured in the ninth
round. and he won't fight again until
his hands are all right, and then only
for the championship"

BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Jean Beraud and Ethelbert Will Be
Top Choices In the Betting.

New York, May 25.-There is every
indication that a field of 10 starters viii
face the flag for the Brooklyn handicap,
which will be run at Gravesend on Sat-
urday next.
OF these no fewer than 12 already
have been returned winners either at
Aqueduct or at Morris Park, and the
remaining six are perfectly fit to do
strenuous battle for the great prize.
The majority of them will get their
final trial today and then will come the
beginning of the speculation.
By common consent Jean Beraud, the
property of William c.. Whitney, the
kingpin of the 2-year-olds of 1898, and
the winner of the Withers and the Bel
mont in 1889, viii share the honor of
public favoritism with Perry Belmont's
Ethelbert, who began the season so
brilliantly by capturing the Metropoli-
tan.
But Ethelbert will have no such gal
Top to the wire as he had at Morris Park
and Jean Beraud must needs be in the
pink of condition and have more than
a moderate share of good racing luck
to be he first to catch the eye of the
| judges at the finish.

D AT THE FRONT.
Eugene Leigh's Fat Horse Carried Off
Belmont Stakes at Morris Park.

New York. May 25.-A finish that
brought the crowd to it's feet. shouting
itself boarse, was seen in the Belmont
stakes at Morris park when in a fierce
drive after a race of a mile and three
furlongs Eugene Leigh's Ildrim carried
off the $15, 900 first money, with j. R.
and F. p. Keene's Petruchio in second
place and w. A. Featherstone'S Mis-
sionary third.
III crowd yelled itself hoarse and the
trio swept past the judges heads apart,
with the jet black Ildrim in front.
PetruchiO second and Missionary third.
Cheer after cheer went up and the
crowd frantically waves hats and hand
kerchiefs at the victor. When the time,
2;2115, was hung out there was another
yell, for the track record had been
broken, and under the conditions it was
the best race at the distance ever run
in this country The last mile and q
quarter was run in los is, the last five
furlongs in. 1:0312 and the last half mile
in 50A seconds, fast time for such a
race.

Looks Like Pennant Rests Between
st. Louis, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.

When the Quakers had finished their
first series with Cincinnati they had
four victories to their credit. 1t looked
for a few days as if they might sweep
everything before them. At Pittsburg
they We're checked. and checked good
more trouble at St. Louis, where it is
reasonable to assume they will not win
a majority of the games to be played.
Brooklyn is playing by far the most
consistent ball of any of the eastern
clubs.
Just at present it looks as if the fight
for the pennant would be between
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and St. Louis
Circumstances may alter the whole sit
uation. 1t would not be the first time.
Let two or three players be injured in
the clubs that are now well up in the
race and perhaps some of the weaker
organizations will have more to say
about the championship.

made a mistake in what it thought the
property could do. l am satisfied that the
Venture corporation is absolutely honest in
the handling of the stock company
The opinion of Cripple Creek mining men
generally is that the London company has
neglected to do the necessary development
work. and has drawn too heavily upon the
ore reserves Tor the purpose of paying large
dividends.
Thomas F. Walsh. owner of the Camp
Bird mine, said today regarding the 1nde-
pendence:
The property was no doubt worth all
that was paid for it by the English inves-
tors and the management in Colorado IS
not responsible for taking out the reserves
at such a wholesale rate. First-class mines
are developed constantly as the ore is taken
out"

GROUNDING OF THE INDIANA.

Col. Miller Transmits Report That
She is Not Damaged.
Quartermaster General Ludington re-
ceived a cable dispatch this morning from
Col. Miller chief quartermaster at Manila,
confirming the press report of the ground
ing of the transport Indiana on the east
side of the Isla de Polio, one of the smaller
islands of the Philippine group east Of
Luzon. Col. Mllers dispatch is as fol-
lows:
Indiana aground, November 7. Is re-
ported as not damaged. Charles D. Palmer
(Guartermaster), with transport Pennsyl-
vania and lighter draft vessel. left Manila
Sunday in order to relieve. Nothing more
necessary"
General Ludington was very much en-
couraged by this note, as it indicated that
the previous reports Of the affair were very
much exaggerated. The Indiana is brig
rigged single-screw iron steamship of 1852
