Natch-He Suggests Tommy Ryan.

ASBURY PARK, y. j., April 15.-This
was James ]. Jeffries twenty-ffth birth
day, and IN honor of the event many
friends came down from New York to pay
their respects to the champion pugilist.
JefIries did good days work on the
road and with the medicine ball. He says
that he has lost fifteen pounds in weight
since coming here and expects to take off
considerable more before the fight with
Corbett. Jim does not think Mccoy wants
to fight him very badly, otherwise he would
be satisfied 10 have the loser of the mill
take % per cent of the receipts.
That is the basis on which | fought
Sharkey." Jeffries continued, and the
same ratio will apply to the Corbett fight
Certainly Mccoy has no better claim than
these pugilists. If the Kid wants TO fight
so badly why don't he take on Tommy
Ryan.
"A Chicago athletic club will give ?
50 GEO purse for fight between these two
pugilists, but Mccoy evidently does not
want any OF Ryan
Tomorrow Ed Dunkhorst the human
freight car will arrive at the Jeffries
camp and assist the latter in preparing fof
his fight with Corbett.

The rise in the price of coal all over the
world is becoming one of the acute eco
nomic problems. AS one of the New York
papers said a few days ago, it is shaking
the industrial world to its centre and is
the subject of serious discussion in the
cabinets of the great European powers.
From an economic point of view it's an
i'll wind abroad that doesn't blow good 10
America, and the coal famine in Europe is
bringing urgent enquiries TO this country
from Russia Austria. Germany, France,
and even distant Japan. The rise in prices
started six months ago. and during the
last three months the scarcity has be-
come acute. Primarily. the scarcity is
due TO the enormous industrial expansion
that has occurred in the old countries as
well rs here, and more particularly in the
manufacture of iron and steel, into which
coal so largely enters. Fortunately Amer
lea is in position 10 furnish all the fuel
needed by the world. All over the land
bituminous or soft coal is found. and it
is commercially produced in twenty-seyen
States. Adding the 50.00o,0G tons of an
thracite or hard coal produced last year to
the 1SS, 600. 600 of soft coal, it is seen that
our total output of coal, for the first time
in history, exceeded that of Great Britain,
which was 220. 600 600 tons, four ifths of
which was consumed and one-ffth ex-
ported. Even before the famine abroad set
in We were exporting considerable
amount of soft coal. Last year We ex-
ported 100000. and at present we are
shipping at the rate of s, 900, goo tons. The
advance of a dollar a ton that has occurred
within a comparatively recent period
means, il will be seen. an increase Ct
$500, 600, 000 in the yearly sum distributed
into the hands of the coal producers of

1t has often been said of late when the
attention of Il prospective buyer was
called TO Missouri Pacific that it did not
look well for a stock when the : ner cent
bonds Of the company were selling below
par. Missouri Pacific insiders have no
doubt comprohenied the force of this ar
gumeut and have decided that the COM
panys bonds must receive better support if
the stock is to be advanced. This accounts
for the activity OF Missouri Pacific bonds
and the higher prices which they COM
mand. Last August the Missouri Pacific
trust IS sold at 1902 since which time I'M
til Thursday last they have sold below
par On Monday they were very active
sales aggregating S3SS Gee. and the price
advanced from 90 - at the opening to
l01. The total issue is S14316 eco. and
the bonds are secured by the deposit Of
$lL-l5 Geo of first mortgage bonds. which
are lien upon extensions of the Missouri
Pacifs. the issue being limited to S25.
COO per mile. When these bonds sold at
102 in August. 1899, the stock sold at
81 - Now that the position of the stock
is so much improved and it has good pros
poets of becoming a dividend payer, it is
argued thar the per cent gold trust
bonds are still below their value There
has also been a movement in the Missouri
Pacific collateral trust IS. On Thursday
S1f,G0O We're sold at 97d97 81. with
prospect of an advance to par. The high
est price obtained for this issue last year
was IS l-2 in July, when the condition of
the company was not SO good as it is to-
day.

rage, the demand viii he very heavy and the
profit to the company correspondinely great.
The directors have accordingly decided to make
a further issue of 5000 shares as above, to enable
the immediate furtherance OF the broader plan.
As the former issue over-subscribed, it is prob
able that early application will be necessary TO
secure any Of this smaller issue. and we respect

minous properties, the smaller lines which

Eastern situation is gradually becoming
simplifed, the same trend Of events is
noticeable in the Southwest. There APP
pears to be community of interests which
is acquiring the upper hand in all of the
roads engaged in the Southwestern hush
ness or running from the Lakes TO the
Gulf of Mexico. One of the straws or the
tide is the simultaneous advance of the
market valuation of Missouri Pacific and
Missouri Kansas and Texas stocks. The
Rockfellers. who are interested very
largely in the Chicago and Alton syndicate,
which road connects both the Missouri
Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas have for a number of years dOm-
mated the latter company. While I'M
doubtedly the dividend possibilities of Mis-
souri, Pacific attracted speculative buyers,
the steady accumulation of the stock by
banking houses closely allied to the Rookie
fellers tells story which has more in
trinsic bearing upon the stock than the
dividend question.
