NEW YORK, April 19.--Dr. Ordway ex-
poets to know definitely by tomorrow
night whether he will be able to clinch
the proposed match between Jim Jeffries
and Bob Fitzsimmons. as far as the Ma
tionai Sporting Club. OF London. is con-
cerned. and for which tilt the foreign or
ganization has offered $4,000. with ex-
penses of 81 900 to each man.
Ordway expected to meet Fitzsimmons
The pair exchanged kilograms and tele-
phone messages, but were unable to get
together, owing to re misunderstanding
as to the appointment hour. The doctor
is confident that he will be able to get
Fitzsimmons' acceptance.
Favored by JeAries.
Jeffries, it is understood, looks with ia
vor on the offer of the London club. He
says that unless the club in San Francisco
make better inducements he will gladly
consent and box Fitzsmmons on the other
side.
This morning Bob received the follow
ing message from Jeffries, dated at Los
Angeles:
"Your telegram received. and I sincere
ly trust you are in earnest and that you
mean business. Without wasting words.
you made big mistake in not accepting
Los Angeles offer, as everything was fair
and just to you. Your acknowledgment
that a contest is impossible in the East
is only repetition Of my action toward
their bids
Your actions toward the California
bids led me to believe you were trying to
avoid a meeting We pledged mutually to
agree on the best bid on a certain date,
and at that time the East had not been
heard from, and you refused to accept
anything here. l don't want to dictate
anything, but want mutual financial inter-
ests. and will, therefore. communicate
with clubs in California, which will doubt
less insist on deciding what is the best
date, and we must agree on something.
Offers Deposit.
You deposit 81, 500 now 1 will do like
wise. 1 am sincere in all have done, and
sorry you have not realized the same"
The former champion. after persuing
the message. said:
Il will readily post 81. 500, as suggested
by -effries, as soon as the Frisco clubs
make the best offer. l am anxious to box
in England: but. Of course. We will go
where We can secure the most money.

A Good Statement.

Tcday's statement Of averages of the
associated banks made an unexp ectedly
good showing The increase in lawful
money. namely $780, .c00, was not as large
as had been foreshadowed. The surpris
ing and most gratifying feature of the
statement is the decrease of nearly S.
000. .000 in the loans.
The decrease III deposits is about $780,
600 less than is called for by the differ
ence between the increase in cash and the
decrease in loans, and that decrease calls
for about 81 ,l50, 900 less reserve than last
week. In consequence, an increase in sur
plus of over 81 ,Goo, 600 is shown, bringing
that item up to S5,57S. 600.
The dealings in stocks this week have
been strongly suggestive of the remark
able speculation of year ago. The trans
actions for the five and one-half days
have nearly averaged 1000, 600 shares a
day. Final prices, with few exceptions,
are higher than they were at the end Of

that averted a disaster. 1t remains to be

result have been the prospects of the res
