JEFFRIEs FEELS ALL RIGHT.
Says Talk That He Is overtralned Is
 All Foolishness.

San Francisco, July Knowing to per- sistent rumors to the effect that Cham pioh James J. Jeffries is i'll from over training, and widespread gossip that he will not be able to make a showing against Robert Fitzsimmons in their bat tie next Friday night Jefrries made an emphatic statement to the Associated Press today denying all these stories and denouncing the authors of the same.
 'I slept late today" said Jeffries, be cause I attended a theatre in San Fran cisco last night and was very tired. am not over trained and am in perfect form"
 Billy Delaney, in Oakland, manager for the champion, however. is not at all sat isfed with the situation. Jeffries did not leave his bed until nearly noon today Fitzsimmons was up with the birds, how ever, and spent an active day at Skaggs. He will reach here on Sunday with his trainers. The betting Is slow at 10 to with Jeffries still favorite, rumors of the champions indisposition seemingly having had no effect on the public yet. The sale of seats continues brisk and the Amphitheatre at Fourteenth and Val encia streets, where the battle will be fought, Is almost In readiness. It Is to be turned over to the club management within three days.

GENERAL ADVANCE
RISE IN PRICES ON NECEssARIEs
OF LIFE.
Meats Likely to Go Higher When
Weather Gets Warmer-Phases
Of the Situation.

There has never been time in Washing
ton when the problem of sustaining life
received more attention from the people
who have to work for living than at
present The general advance in prices of
nearly all of the things that go to make up
the three meals that are necessary has
made the problem a serious one to solve.
Retail dealers in meats discuss the situa-
tion with more freedom than they usually
do when there is change in prices. They
do not hesitate to say that their business
has fallen off perceptibly during the past
three weeks, and that they see no rea-
son for anticipating an immediate return to
old conditions.
A phase Of the situation that is be-
ginning to suggest itself is that with
warmer weather almost here, and a conse-
quent increased demand for ice, meats
will likely go still higher.
Butchers cannot handle meat without ice,
and just as much is required as If there
were a larger demand. There was a good
crop Of ice the past winter, but the meat
dealers are fearful that prices of that
needed article will be advanced.
High Price for Butter.
Washingtonians are paying more for dairy
butter than perhaps ever before. And
there is general impression among mar
ket men that the price will go higher. There
has been marked shrnkage in the re-
ceipts of both butter and eggs in the Wash
ington market during the past few days
Friday is always big fish day, but the
sales today were apparently much less than
OH Friday of last week. There was an
increased demand for fish because of the
advance in prices Of meat, but the de-
mand was so great that prices were moved
a notch or so higher,
