LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Air is Now Cleared from the Effects
 of American Crisis.

London, June lb.-The London Stock Exchange was very slightly reused this afternoon as the week from it's continued lethargy. The air is now cleared from the effects of recent American crisis, but business still remains painfully dull Pro- fessional traders are merely following New York at safe distance and are con tinually alert for pitfalls. The hesitancy of the last week is also largely traceable to a desire for. definite assurance of the tangible developments in the South Afri- can war The depression accompanying the decline in gilt edge securities has se- riously hampered the resources of many of the strongest members of the Stock Exchange, while it is whispered that some banks are even so involved as a result of the assistance rendered large operators that they are now unable to press for a involving large interests.
 The fact that the expected reduction in the bank rate was not effected and the consequent ease of money has caused a weakened flicker of activity in which home rails participated with American on an healthier traffic showing. It is anti cipated, however, that the pending call for the payment of the subscriptions to consols will make easy money very &C., ceptable It Is feared In some quarters that American industrial activity may draw gold from London. It is pointed out by the optimists. however, that New York has already invested so heavily in foreign securities beyond its powers im- mediately to pay that exchange is likely to remain slightly in favor of Europe and this in spite of the heavy grain ship ments, the presaged continental crop damage and large American harvests.
 The mining market is dominated by the same South African spectre which hampers stock transactions.

BERLIN LETTER.
Questions Occupying the Attention of
 European Politicians.

Berlin, June 16.-During the week the two questions which mainly occupied pub lie attention were the discussion of the Italian Chamber of Deputies relative to the Driebund and Great Britains atti- tude towards the question of Germany maintaining a garrison at Shanghai. The press expressed the opinion that Signor Prinetti, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, cannot be relied upon by the oth- CT powers forming the Driebund, although the newspapers incline to the belief that after Fridays proceedings the continu- ation of the Dreibund is assured. Gov ernment circles never held a different opinion after Premier Zanardellfs de- claration to Count von Buelow.
 Regarding the attitude of the British press towards the policy of Germany at Shanghai and Lord Cranbornes state ments in Parliament, the German press and the government continue to hold the opinion that Germany by the very terms of the Yang Tse agreement, is bound to protect the Yang Tse valley. Besides, Germany has the same right to keep troops there as have Great Britain, France, Japan and Russia. Referring to the Washington cable dispatch saying the United States does not mean to pro- test against the maintaining of German garrison at Shanghai the Frankfuerter Zeitung says:
 This is a very sensible conception Of the situation since Shanghai is Chinese and not English and the only country having the right to protest in China Germany has precisely the same right to take care of her Yang Tse interests and commerce that any other country has.
 A number of German papers during the week intimated that Germany, Great Britain being practically powerless for the time, used strong pressure to bring about the Anglo-American Yang Tse agreement. The Tageblatt says:
 ''The abandonment by Great Britain of her Yang Tse sphere of interest idea is perhaps the most sever blow Great Brit ain has sustained since the South African war began

 The agrarians are greatly disappointed with General von Podbielski, the new minister of agriculture, owing to his speech at Halle agricultural exposition in which he expressed the conviction that the agrarians should be able to help them selves in most cases unless in the case of crop failures, etc. This opinion of Gen. eral von Podbielsk clashes with his form CT utterances on the same subject

MANCHESTER MARKET.
There Has Been a Steady and Fair
 Inquiry for Cloth.

Manchester, Eng, June 16.-There has been steady and fair inquiry for colth during the past week. The turnover, however, was unsatisfactory and ad- vances were frequently required. It is difficult to obtain the aggregate of trans actions, but 1t was unimportant.
 Bombay was the most active of the India market and there was considera- ble inquiry from Calcutta. There was slight advance In the transactions re- ported from China, chiefly among the better grades of shirtings. The Levant is picking up many lots of finishing cloths and there were moderate and miscellane- ous purchases from South America. Yarn spinners were firmer after obtaining some business on the previous advance of cotton. Buyers are cautious, confin- ing their purchases to their immediate needs.

BERLIN BOERSE
 HAS BLACK WEEK
Gloom, Distrust and Anxiety
 Have Prevailed
BUSINESS AT STANDSTlLL
Week Began With the Crash of a Big Electric Company-Bears Partlc- uIary Selected Bank
 Shares for Attack.

Berlin. June 16.-The Boerse has had another black week. The Frankfuerter zeitung says:
 Seldom have fear, distrust and anxiety been as pronounced as during these days.
 Business is at a standstill. The orders heavy loss from the quotations. Only on Friday and Saturday did the market become somewhat f1rner with prices slightly rising in a score of the better values.
 The week began with the crash of the Dresden Credit Anzalt and the Hummer Electric Company which owes 9,oOO,0oO marks to the Dresden Credit Anzalt alone. Rumors are in circulation to the effect that a number of other electric concerns and the banks supporting them in Dresden, Berlin and Dantzic are In serious difficulties. The past week was notable for rumors: they found susten- ance from the highly unfavorable reports WHICH cdHe III ITOIl every hluo OA OuSA- ness, especially from the Rhine, Vest phalan industrials and iron and machine firms and mining concerns. It was gen. erally pointed out that many German electric works were neither soundly founded nor financiered and 1t is thought other companies will encounter financial difficulties.
 The blue book on the Transvaal Rail- road has caused a sensation in Berlin, as 1t had been firmly believed that the British government would favor tho German shareholders of the road. The German financial press still express this belief, but the shares which were formerly quoted here at 226 have dropped to 155, and have not recovered their loss. Alto- gether the Boer situation during the past week Is one that has only been equalled in the worst time, and 1t is generally thought that there will be no marked im- provement for long time to come. The bears particularly selected bank shares for their attacks and the securities of every bank lost a number of points. In some cases these losses amounted to twenty and even more. Provincial Bank shares became unstable. although great number were thrown upon the market. Inland government loans were slow but firm. Inland railroads are doing nothing.
 The abundance of money continues.

SEVERE ON SULLIVAN.

? In commenting on the recent decisive defeat of Spike Sullivan by Joseph Handler, L.sM. Mouseman, the Chicago promoter of boxing, makes these points. Dave, as has ever been his custom when acting as second for a loser, jumped into the ring a atthe critical mo- meIt when his principal was reeling and auivering on thesverga of the fatal fall into sluInberIand. It will be re- -fieinbered that Dave s offfcio iousness in behalf of Dan Creedon, when the latter was put tof sleep by Martin Hart at Louisville recently, provoked riot at the ringside, and eventually led to the suppression of boxing in ., that city. When Spike fought Jack Downey be- fore the Broadway Athletic club of New York in 1879, Dave hoped through the ropes as soon as he saw his beloved brother fouled by Downey, kickedSa policeman in the, face, and act ed in general like the wild Turk that he is, until brought to time by judi cious clubbing administered by the guardians of the peace. When Dave was being beaten to a standstill by George Dixon at the Lenox club in 1898, Brother Jack Sullivan dived head foremost into the ring and saved David from knockout. Now, family love is very fine thing in it's way, but broth erly affection is apt to develop into a decided nuisance when carried to ex- cess. The Sullivan contingent should be sat upon with emphasis.''

 The match arranged between Denver Ed Martin and Joe Walcott several weeks ago was called off yesterday by Billy Madden. Madden saw Tom O'Rourke and the question as to who would referee the contest was dis cussed. Billy also wished to know when and where the mill would be held. O'Rourke was not able to an swer the last question to the satisfac- tion of Madden. As to the referee, O'Rourke would not agree to his orig inal proposition to let Al Smith, as final stakeholder, name this official OsRourke said that Madden must con sent to let the official referee of the club which Jack Rose and himself have incorporated at Bridgeport act. After parting from O'Rourke, Madden went to the Gilsey house and withdrew the deposit of $1,0Q0 which he left with Smith several weeks ago.

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-06-20

Of the eight hits made by the home team, Manager Connor secured three of them and Kid Mccormick two. Con- nor had two three sackerss and single and Mccormick had double and a home run.
 Again we say to Manager Connor that he should instruct his men to play baseball when it comes their way to do so. Two called balls on man should encourage him to take chance or two for couple more. This was not done yesterday.
 Bristol comes here tomorrow and her manager says that she will trounce Waterbury dead sure. She has but one victory from the local team and she is coming down tomorrow with a car load of rooters and with barrels of coin to bet on the results. Waterbury will be ready for her and perhaps some of that coin will remain here. Such things have happened.
 The game should be fought out to the end and there should be no let up when team goes ahead of us. After those runs were secured by Derby in thS LII SI iAAhl1iS yCStSIddy lHC lOCtl players fell into trance until the fifth inning. The coaching was lifeless and all the players seemed to be knocked out in the first round. Ginger is what is wanted all through the game and the rest of the players would do we'll to pattern after Matthews who never tires of roofing and coaching.
 Jennings arrived in Baltimore yester- day and was the center of many excit- ed and earnest conferences. They con tinued at the ball grounds all the time the game between Baltimore and Mill waukee was in progress. This is the stand taken by Jennings: Eff I am to play in the American league it will be with McGraw and no one else. He has my word and this is my bond. Johnson did misrepresent matters to me when he sought my services for Philadelphia and I will say right here for once and all that I will not play on the Athletics come what may. I am good for quite a number of years yet and am not go- ing to sacrifice my future in the profes- sion. If the American league does not come to an agreement in weight hours by which I can play in Balti- more, then will go to Han1on and tell him my services are at his command. He lcansdo with. me as he pleases, farm me out or play me in the Brooklyns. In tlte American league, play with McGraw whether he stays in Balti- more or goes to the antiDodes." From this statement it can be seen that Jen- nings, will play in Baltimore if he se- cures a three or four years contract. and .this he9will no doubt receive from McGraw. President Frank. openly an nounced at the League park yesterday that Jennings would appear in an ori7 ole uniform, to-day. x. Then followed an announcement by Umpire Sheridan that his instructions from President Johnson were to forfeit to the opposing team any game in which Jennings took part. McGraw is firm and will not yield.
