The Sailor Declares Against a Match
With Joe Walcott for $4,000
Purse-Good Men Who Have
Fought Negroes-A Humor-
Side to the Situation
General Sporting
Matters.

Bernard Reich, the persp1acious man.
ager of Thomas Sharkey, is again in
evidence with a cluster of opera bouffc
statements calculated to arouse general
mirth. Reich is noted principally for
making newspaper matches which the
sailor repudiates the succeeding day.
The manager is said to be one of the
most expert rathskeller impresarios in
America. but as the handler of a heavy
weight puglist Reich has gaven con-
t1nuous performance of side splitting bur-
lesque. In the present instance, Reich
and the able seaman are of one mind
but it's none the less comical.
Thomas O'Rourke hecently offered a
purse of $4,000 for a bout private or
public, between Sharkey and Joseph
Walcott. AS O'Rourke is not in the
habit of making meaningless propose!
Of that sort the offer VIII be general
accepted as having cash basis. Shar
key. therefore, has before him an oppo-
tunity to win the larger part of $1,000
by merely beating a 14o-pound man.
whose only drawbacks are a very dark
complexion and a tendency to hit harder
than is commensurate with the thorough
enjoyment of his opponents.

SPORTING NEWS ; 4,s. ss, # Il, s s's the
TOM SHARKEY'S --LATEST SKETCH
IS TO DRAW THE COLOR LINE.

1t seems on the surface a delightfully."-
easy way for the sailor to gain sudden
riches, but he does not seem inclined to
grasp the opportunity and the cash.
Reich expresses the greatest indignation
at O'Rourke's Offer and says it is well
known fact that Sharkey would not con
taminate himself by getting into the r..,.,
with the Afro American. especially whe.>
the particular specimen happens to be
named Wolcstt.
This eXclusiveness on the part of
Sharkey is said to be largely due
to the recollection of sundry unpleas-
ant things received by the sailor from
the BLACK Demon in training quar-
tiers. However that may be, the fact re-
mains that better men than Sharkev
have not drawn the color line. Jeffries.
the present champion. fought Peter
Jackson, and SO also did Corbett former
champion. Fitzsimmons, as a middle
weight, fought the BLACK Pearl"
John L. Sullivan, when champion.
fought a negro in California, but h.
quickly drew the color line when Peter
jackson challenged for the title.
Terry McGoVern, the greatest of all
little men, won his title from George
Dixon.
Sharkey. therefore. in barring negroes
places himself in a ridiculous attitude.
He should be willing to meet any man,
white or black. who can produce the
necessary forfeit. The sailor has GER
tainly become the first comedian of the
squared circle.

 Birmingham, Ala, June 26-Liverpool cables were discouraging. contract deliv- cries selling off 3h@41a 64d and spots 1-32d on sales of 10000. New York in re- sponse to this weakness abroad opened 2 to points lower and following the call turned suddenly weak on selling for both accounts, on rain in Texas. The weather map also showed heavy rains in Georgia and South Carolina. and suffic- tent buying orders were sent in to bring about some recovery especially since the indications were only for light show advices noted general rainfall over the State, and the new crop positions broke sharply during the last hour. closing p to 25 points decline. July was off 13 points and August p. Receipts at the ports were exceptionally heavy, at 12,049 against 2076 last year, while receipts at the intehrior towns were 34S against 6T
 The summer months will be controlled by the manipuators. Their action in stopping all notices today would seem to indicate that they are going to take the cotton, but since there is no way to tell what is going to be the outcome of the deal, these positions should be let alone.
 The new crop positions will be governed by the weather. Texas has gotten her rain, and. the tendency at the moment is to sell, though the large outstanding short interest would suggest moderation until further developments.

SMALL VOLUME OF STOCK TRADING The Market Was Very Soft and
 Yielded Easily. FURRY IN MONEY RATES The Decline in Prices Was Most Pro nounced in St. Paul, Union Pa clfic and Manhattan--Steady
 Close-Bonds Dull.

New York, June 6.-The reflected changes in the stock prices underwent an astonishing number of mutations today, considering the small volume of trading and the narrowness of the interested mar ket. The market was palpably soft, not withstanding the varied movements. The persistence of the support of certain stocks and the news that the banks were affected yesterday, but met todays debit balance at the clearing house, quieted the slight tendency to feverishness in the market. Afterwards the trading took on the tone of recent hesitation and consid eration returned to the situation of the money market. The fact that the clear ing house association had considered 1t unnecessary to accord assistance to the bank in trouble yesterday was regarded in itself reassuring and as indicating a belief that the banks affairs offered no threat to the general situation and that the trouble was localized. With the de- velopment of this sentiment the support of the market seemed to be less as though it were not deemed necessary.
 When the money rate stiffened to above $ per cent, and incrased offerings came upon the market, prices therefor yielded easily; This period of greatest weakness in the market was also that of the great est activity The furry in money rates was exactly what had been anticipated for two weeks past and what is a usual incident of the last week in June, on &C., count of the large accumulations near to provide for dividends and in order to meet disbursements. Stock speculators how ever, are not prone to ignore this period ical tendency and to persist in an opti- mistic spirit in the hope of money mar ket relief
 This week the hope was hinged on the probability of the repayment to the .rnar- ket of some very large borrowings by syndicates and railroad companies. Very possibly yesterdays disturbance to credit slight though it was, had it's effect in the shifting of loans which occurred today and which precipitated the sprinkle of liquidation owing to the difficulty of se- curing new accommodation. The decline in prices was most pronounced in St. Paul. Union Pacific, Manhattan and some of the less prominent stocks which have been under manipulation recently for an advance. St. Paul fell an extreme 2% un- der last night. The latter part of the day was taken up by very general but desul- tory movement. With the cessation of selling pressure friends of different stocks bid them up again and the hopeful profess sional element had a story that the sec retary of the treasury would pay out the government interest immediately in anti cipation of the July disbursements. Not few of the most important stocks were lifted well above last nights level, while the larger number rallied to that of a few days standing quotation.
 .@ The bond market was dull, but prices yielded to selling of stocks.
 Total sales, par value, $2,995, 900.

Leis cotton letter to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New York June 26-As was indicated in yesterdays letter factors in the cotton situation seemed sufficiently conflicting to bring about very unsettled market, and profit taking was the part of wisdom,
 The days developments revealed this more clearly than was the case yesterday when Liverpool prices came lower Rains were reported in some parts of Texas and notices for about 000O bales of July were put in circulation.
 Heavy selling began at the start and during the first half hour bear hammering proved greater than at any time during the past two weeks. To pit traders who were able to watch the market carefully said this seemed an operation likely to bring a profit before the day was over. But there was very little selling by those who have been active on the long side during the advance There cotton was sold yesterday and at opening this morn ing, in absence of general and soaking rains in Texas there was nothing to bring about a bear market. The price of Oc- tober was advanced about 70 or 75 points since June 10.
 Common conservatism led holders to look for a setback in the market. With October selling at 750 this morning re- action of 21 points has been seen.
 In the event of further decline in the morning. the traders can be expected to cover short cotton and from that point an advance may be confidently counted upon.
 The situation is not what 1t was at ' cents and a less one sided for a few days can be looked for. But unless Texas gets the necessary rain in the near future, a much broader market is likely and one in which the new crop positions will sell about 1-2 cents. The July notices were reported as taken by the western firm identified with the manipulation in that month.

Murphv e Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York June 26.-The stock market opened active and with feverfsh tone, irregular, price changes appearing in com harrison with yesterdays final figures.
 Sentiment was plainly much disturbed by yesterdays developments in banking circles and by the announcements made in respect to them subsequently,. The London market also continued weak. ap- parently on fears of further bank trou- bles in Germany, and foreign houses sold moderately here upon the opening of bus mess. Aside from the disturbing incident in bank circles, there was nothing of un- favorable character that engaged atten- ton upon the opening of business. The report from agricultural sections contin- ued highly gratifying and appeared less apprehensive regarding developments in the money market
 The active features of the railway list were St. Paul. which was again heavy; the Atchison shares and the Union Pa ci1c. the last named being comparatively strong.

 The steel stocks continued to furnish the bulk of the dealings in the industrial quarter. but the shares were very uncer- tain. The Copper stocks. G-7 and other specialties moved in line with the general market and trade for the time being was done wholly by the professionals.
