Tuesday, July Is.
Turpentine fell off slightly to-day for
+be first dine in about ten days during
which it advanced steadily until it
reached the excellent price of 5OAc,
the price at which the market opened
to-day. 1t was quoted firm at this
nrice. but before the closing hour some
of the smaller factors had sold
enough spirits at Soc to make the
that figure, though maintaining it's firm
tone. The market is conceded to be
in a most satisfactory condition from
q factors point of view, and as there
is stil a brisk demand that the whole
of the afternoon receipts failed to sat
isfy no further slump is anticipated,
and it is not Improbable that the Nc
lost to-day may be regained shortly,
that is If the present light receipts
continue.
Resins went off &c on all grades,
caused chiefly by the absence of de-.
nand for the last few days, and the
consequent accumulation. Pale resins
are now selling at a much lower fig
ure than they brought at this season
last year. Factors have been content
to accept these prices because of the
improved prices of the lower grades,
but If the price of the cheaper ones is
forced down it may have the effect of
stffening quotations on the pales.
The cotton market in all depart
ments continues to be extremely dull,
and is likely to continue so until the
new crop begins moving. Further i'm
provement was noticed in the New
York stock market while other mar
kets closed fairly steadily and with lit
tie change. r---

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 2s.-The stock mar
ket this morning showed the contin-
uing effect of the clearing of the at
mosphere which resulted from yester-
days and Fridays failures and the
market became quite generally strong
But the brighter sentiment over the
outlook did not hold its full force
throughout the day There was rath-
err a pronounced reaction towards the
last which wiped out the most impor
tant part of the days gains and took
a few of the grain carriers a point or
more below last night, New York Cen
trail was the conspicuous leader of the
advance, rising at one time 2h over
last night on buying said to be Of the
best character. The sentimental effect
on the market of the buying Of this
stock and of Pennsylvania and affil-
lated stocks, as well as of the coalers
and other high grade railroad stocks
was considerable.
Atchison suffered most acutely
amongst the market leaders, and it's
drop to 1% below last night upset the
late market and led the whole list
downwards.
Late in the day there was indication
of a resumption of selling out of col
lateral on some loans. The buying
through commission houses was report
was hopefully regarded But this buy
ing did not follow the market upwards.
There was report of a private set
tlement between the Union Pacific in
terests and one of last weeks failed
firms, looking to taking over of large
holdings of Southern Pacific and a
resumption by the firm. This was de-,
MED when the Union Pacific directors
assembled to declare the regular divi-
dends.
The time money market was report
ed easier and some long time loans on
selected collateral were reported to
have been negotiated below per cent.
When traders attempted to take
profits on the days advance the mar
ket gave way and closed unsettled and
irregular. Active bonds were general
ly strong, but there were some wide
concessions in the marketing Of mac
tive bonds. Total sales, par value, 3d.

credit therefor. The problem now is to find
man TO fight Jeffries with chance OF
beating him.
frankie Neil and bad stomachs have
caused disaster to the Forbes family. Not
only did the San Francisco boxer put Clar-
ence Forbes away by wallop to his mid
section. but he last week deprived Harry OF
the bantam title by well-directed blow to
the paunch.
Neil Is undoubtedly a good fighter. But 1t
Is question just how great part over
confidence on Harrys part played in the
Chicago mans downfall. Harry had come
to consider himself unbeatable OF late. Five
weeks a go he was tearing around Chicago
at a great pace, regardless of the hot
weather. or. rather, regarding 1t by frequent
cooling draughts.
He may or may not have been in the best
of shape when he entered the ring. Ac-
counts from San Francisco state that he
appeared to be in the best of trim. 1t is
comparatively easy for fighter to gain an
appearance Of health by perfuhctory work,
however. and this same appearance does not
necessarily mean he Is at his best.
Clarence's stomach was always his weak
point. Even when he trained hard and faith
fully. hard puch there would upset the
results of weeks OF work. Harry seems to
have the same popularity. Both boys col.

jolts.
This weakness was not necessarily detri-
mental to Harry's success in many of his
battles 1t was decidedly risky for an OPP
posing fighter TO attempt any liberties with

he did not make more impressive show
ing on his last appearance.
Jefrries's unexpected speed was the dis
turbing factor to the Corbett party. When
the burly champion showed an ability to
sprint about the ring at express train
speed. Corbett's chances commenced to
gllmmer. Then came the recognition that
the former champions punches were not
hurting the mass of muscle before him.
This portended the end.
