TRADE REPORT,

New York r. G. Dun & Co.'s week
ly review OF trade last week says:
Holiday trade has exceeded the most
sangulne expectations and retail deal
lngs in all staple lines of merchandise
are well maintained, with the better
grades of goods in brisk demand.
Wholesome conditions prevail in most
sections of the country, although in
parts of the southwest the season has
fallen behind the average. Even in
these cases reports are encouraging
for the future. Industrial plants are
well employed, orders running far in
the future and labor controversies are
rare. The only adverse feature of the
situation is the fact that supplies Of
fuel are utterly inadequate, both for
household and manufacturing uses,
snow increasing the delay for deliver
ing.

JEFFERlEs VS.. MUNRoE.
Champion Knocked Down-Unable to
Put Munroe Out.

Fut munToc Outs
Helena, Mont.-Jack Munroe, anna
teur champion of the Pacific coast,
was awarded the decision over Cham
pion Jas. j. Jeffries after four of the
fastest rounds of fighting ever seen
in this city. Jeffries had posted a
forfeit of $3.50 he would knock out
any one in Butte within four rounds.
Munroe had been in training for the
past two weeks and accepted the chal-
lenge. Munroe hit the champion q
square blow on the point of the jaw
and sent him to his knees, following
it up with several ugly jabs that
nearly made the knockout possible
Munroe was too shifty for Jeffries
and most of the blows of the big
champion went wild. Munroe was
still aggressive at the end of the
fourth.
Fitzsimmons feared for the cham
pion's reputation and his voice could
be heard out into the audience crying
for Jeff to rush him and knock him
out. Fitzsimmons knocked his man
ager posted a forfeit of $500 that
Fitzsimmons can knock out Munroe
in four rounds.
Seldom has more enthusiasm been
shown here than at the fight. The
balcony and the gallery were damned
cheered Munroe.
The champion was disappointed
over his failure to put Munroe out.
He did his very best to deliver a
knockout, but the Butte man was not
to be SO disposed of. He was game to
the core and argued every inch with
Jeffries. Munroe repeatedly sent his
straight left to the champions face
and Jared it considerably Munroe
blocked many vicious uppercuts.
The Butte man displayed unexpect-
ed cleverness and although he went
down several times, it was more
through Jeffries great weight than
the punishment inflicted.
In the mixups Jeffries did not over
look an opportunity to rough t, but
the smile had disappeared from JEFF
ferries face and he went in with a
determination to do his man up.
Each time Munroe went to his knees
he took the count, but met all Of the
big fellows rushes. 1t was a fine
exhibition and the crowd was well
pleased. A little blood was spilled
from Munroe's nose, while Jeffries
was putting freely. Munroe is min
er and has lived here two years. He
holds tie amateur championship of
California.
Jeffries Explains 1t.
This fellow Munroe is a tough one,
and no dub by any means. I did not
cut loose on him, however, as | was
not anxious to overexert myself on
account of the high altitude. Munroe
is entitled to all the credit that is
coming to him for making good
showing, but | do not consider him
much of a boxer. He can stand a
whole lot and should make a very
good showing with such men as
Sharkey and Corbett."
Munroe tonight said his purpose in
going against Jeffries was to estab-
lish his right to challenge Sharkey
to battle. Munroe recently came
to Butte from British Columbia and
is working in the mines. He holds
the amateur championship medal of
California. At the ringside tonight
he weighed As pounds less than JEFF
fries.
