New York. January 2.-(Special.)-An
emtssary of an American association club
had Johnnie Duffy locked in a room for
two hours the other evening but depart
ed without his signature, although Duffy
admitted that the offer was a good one.
Duffy has a great desire to see the south,
his Imagination having been kindled by
Jack Gilbert's stories of southern gener-
osity and kindness. and it is more than
probable that he Will be with Tom
O'Brien in Birmingham next summer.
Birmingham will hardly let few dollars
stand in the way of securing one of the
fastest minor league ball players in the
country.
Tom OBrien expects to leave for Biz
mingham in February, when he will begin
the active work of gathering his team
although he is by no means idle now.
Tom would like to have Eddie Daley, the
hard-hitting third baseman who jumped
Syracuse, but 1t is said that Managers
Griffin and Kuntzsch will endeavor to
induce Daley to return to their club
The local management stated last night
that Duffy had been signed.

ANOTHER CHICAGO FIGHT.
Open Board of Trade and Western
Union Make Arrangements.

Chicago, January 2. Arrangements
which have just been completed between
the Chicago open Board of Trade and the
Western Union Telegraph company bid
fair to make the former institution a
formidable rival of the larger one across
the street. On next Monday morning the
quotations of the open board will be put
on the Western Union wires an hour in
advance of the figures furnished by the
Chicago Board of Trade. 1t is understood
that the open board and the telegraph
company have entered into a contract for
ten years. the telegraph company paying
remuneration on a graduated scale,
nominal rate for the first few years 10 be
increased each twelve months.
1t Is also announced that negotiations
have been contaminated whereby the
open board building on La Sale street
will be remodeled by the Illinois Trust
and Savings bank, which controls the
property, for the benefit of the board.

PAST WEEK HAS
NOT BEEN DULL
Despite interruption of Holidays
Business Was Good
FREIGHT RATES AGAIN HIGH
That Question Alone Complexities the
Situation Regarding Iron and Steel.
Bradstreet and Dun In
Cheerful Mood.
FREIGHT RATES AGAIN HIGH

New York, January pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Despite the interruption of holidays,
taking inventories and other disturbing
elements and the closing of the old year,
the past week has been far from dull
Consumers were not perceptibly lessening
purchasers, while the approach of higher
freight rates accelerated shipment of
goods. Transporting facilities continue
utterly inadequate, the pressing need for
fuel diverting rolling stock from other
classes of freight. New wage scales have
become effective, largely enhancing the
purchasing power of the people. The
new year opens with every prospect of
exceptional activity in all branches of
business. Railroad earnings thus far
available for December show a gain of
II per cent over 1901 and 10 per cent over
1900, while for the full year there are in
creases of Al and 1915 respectively, not
withstanding the heavy loss of coal traf-
fc. The declines in clearings for the last
week are not actually as unsatisfactory
as the percentages would suggest, owing
to the fact that last years figures include
one day of January and those of two
years ago embrace two days In January,
when payments are abnormally heavy.
The questions of higher freight rates
complexities the situation regarding iron
and steel, but new orders are constantly
coming forward and the activity of plants
would equal capacity, were it not for the
fuel shortage
Quotations for all products in this in
dustry are fully maintained with ten
dency edwards still higher prices, because
of freights and fuel The first advance is
expected to occur In wire nails, although
this Is not officially announced.
No new features have developed in the
foot wear situation, prices remaining firm
and order books full. The leather market
generally is strong. Domestic hides are
dull, prices again declining. Textile mills
are busy with only hand to mouth home
demand for cotton goods, but export buy
ing for China continues large Farm pro-
ducts weakened as visible supplies in
creased, and reports from the west indi-
cate that much more grain is offered for
shipment than the railroads will accept
Exports of corn are steadily gaining, for
the week Atlantic ports 2,335, 4O3 bushels
were sent out, compared with only 347,-
1913 bushels In the corresponding week A.
eyar ago. Atlantic exports of wheat. In
Guiding flour, amounted to only l 495 O61
bushels against 2,705044 a year ago, and
arrivals at interior cities were 3.773. 265
bushels, compared with 3,736, 1863 bushels
last year.
