TOMMY BURNS IN
THE CITY TODAY
Claimant Of Worlds Heavyweight
Championship Title on His
Way East.
HE WOULD FIGHT JEFFRIES.
With Him IL Jimmy Burns, Who Is
Anxious 10 Get on a Match With
"Figbting Dick" HsIand.'

Tommy Burns and wife; Jimmy
Burns, Los Angeles
The above names are inscribed on
the Kenyon hotel register Many Salt
Lake fight fans are familiar with the
first--Tommy Burns. but few would
perhaps recognize him today, as he is
not quite the same Tommy who came
here some years ago with Otto Sielon
when the latter fought at the Salt
Palace.
Burns Is the same so far as his happy
dispositions goes, but he is nearly twice
as big now as he was when here. He
weighs. In street clothes. more than
200 pounds. He presents fashion
plate front" and sports spark In
his oriental tie that looks like a head
light on Salt Lake street car.
Tommy surns comes nearer being
the heavyweight champion today than
any other fighter. Jeffries eliminated
OF course. In his recent fight with
that clever boxer, Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, ne demonstrated that he Is
the goods.
Burns Is on his way east At Phila-
delphia he will begin a 10 weeks theat-
rical engagement after which he will
return to Los Angeles and battle again
with O'Brien, for a $4,000 purse and a
belt worth $500.
~ think I should have had the de-
cision, but Of course there Is no use
holIering about that now" said Tommy,
referring to the recent fight.
II chased O'Bren about Is miles in
that fight. and at that he was in bed
two days after ! got through with him.

Concerning JEFF, Burns said
II see no reason why | should not

 It may be too early yet to write without partisan coloring a correct and accurate history of the great war between the States, but 1t is not Io6 early to present to the American peo- pie a perfect compilation of the qua thentic sources of the history of thosa eventful times. Entertaining this de- sire, Mir. Richardson a few years aga compiled, by authority of Congress, the Messages and Papers of the Presia pers of all the Presidents from Wash< ingtol to Mckinley. Later he cons ceived the idea of publishing another work as a companion piece to his first great effort Realizing the deep inter- est manifested by the people every- where in reading the history of our country, written by the Presidents
 themselves. and noting especially tho attention attracted by the papers of President Lincoln as he detailed tha events of that fearful struggle, the war between the States, Mir. RIchard- son decided to compile and place be- fore the public. in durable form and for the first time, true and authentic history of that stormy and reriloua period" from a Southern standpoint. He has, therefore, now compiled, with the permission of Congress the official papers of President Davis, entitled Messages and Papers of the Confed- eracy, including the interesting and im- portant diplomatic correspondence. The work, which In its very nature neces- sarily stands without predecessor, com- petitor or possible successor. Is admit tedly the greatest, most exhaustively complete and only authentic history of the war between the States. contains ing, as it does, the State papers, off, cial utterances and other authentic in- formation from the great fountainhead, the President of the Confcderacy, and his corps of able advisers. It may be truly said of the work that it is the sole occupation of new field. In ad- dition to the rich illustrations with which the work abounds. MT. Richardson has prepared and inserted biographical sketches of President Davis, Vice-Pre ldent Stephens. Gen. Robert k. Lee and the three Secretaries of State, Robert Toombs, Robert M. T. Hunter and Ju- dah r. Benjamin. In regular analyt- ical index which appears in the compil- ation, numerous encyclopedia articles bearing upon the text and explanatory of politico historical facts are insert- ed. There are also included in this feature of the compilation accurate ac- counts of all the leading battles of tho war in which the armies of the North and South were engaged.

THE STOCK MARKET
LOW RECORD FOR THE YEAR IN
 TRANSACTlONS.
Movement s,f Prices Also Falls of Sig nfncaAce--Dcpression in First
 Pars of Day and Recovery
 fin the Last.

l New York, June 1.--The market Tor
 stocks today was hardly more 1nan nominal the fullness of the trading
 falling to the years low record. The | movement of prices equally failed of significance, The drift was exceeding " narrow. During the first half or the day the balance rather inclined Io- wards tho side of depression and in the latter half there was some recovery. More and more indifference was shown 10 the movements. of special stocks. those picked for professional operations being easily recognized as favorite me- diums for market operations by con- spfcuous speculative leaders. The prominent instances today were l.. and N. and Colorado Fuel.
 The nominal motive for the buying in the first case was the unauthenti- cated rumors of an intended increase Tn the dividend rate at an early pe- riod In the other stock the buying was alleged to be for account of J. P. Morgan & Go, and the purpose to be the securing of control of the property for the transfer of the U. $. Steel Cor poration. These assertions have ng- ured in many previous movements of the stocks named and nothing occurred today to give added credit to them The later improvement in the market followed the publication of the prelim- mary estimates of the weeks currency movement. The sub-treasury figures are official and show an excess of s5,- 607,009 of disbursements over receipts.
 This does not include the $1.50O,O0O to be deposited with the National City Bank against gold to bo imported. which was announced yesterday and which will figure for one day in the bank statement averages It does ln- clude, however, the transfers by the tel egraph from San Francisco with the exception of the amount transferred today which amounted to s900,000.
 The express movement with the fn- terior has been in favor of New York to amounts variously estimated at from s60O,000 to s2,0C0,000. The banks ap- pear to Lave gained for the week, therefore, to the extent of between $S,- item is subject to unusually heavy operations and no one attempts to forecast the net effect on the weeks average, but a considerable expansion of loans is generally expect ed. The business of the wheat mar ket today was in response to favorable weather conditions reported both from the Northwest and the Southwest and the state of the cotton crop was also indicated as being favorable. The price of exchange today showed no tendency to adjust itself towards uncovering the new margin of profit and consequently there was no further gold movement talked of. Rates are still near the profitable level of imports, however. an easier tone of London discounts hav- ing marked the turn of the month. The resumption of the coal roads inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission had some oppressive effect on specula- tfon. The late recovery was not fully held and the market closed irregular and extremely dull.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value, $1,945,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COTTON LETTER.
By Special Wire to c. c. Abercrombie
 & CO. g Commerce Street.

New Orleans, June With the close of today the Liverpool and New or i, leans cotton markets will remsln clossu until next Tuesday morning; Whitsun- tide holidays in England and Confed- crate Memorial Day in New Orleans next Monday. New York however Will close tomorrow, but will be open on Monday to receive the Government Bu- reau report on the condition of the cot ton crop and the amount of land de voted to the growing of cotton tnls year.
 There were any number of unofficial preliminary reports published today. The Southern Cotton Association placed the acreage at 2.29 per cent. more than last year, the New York Journal Of Commerce 6.3 per cent larger, Miss Giles 7.6 per cent. increase and The New York Chronicle estimated the in- crease at 9.54 per cent, placing the total acreage at 31,557,000 acres against 2S.S00,000 one year ago.
 After opening about unchanged when compared with yesterdays closing, New Orleans ruled steady and improved thereafter on the moderate acreage es- inmates of the Cotton Association and The Journal of Commerce. both stating the crop to be later than last year, es- pecially in Georgia and Mississippi on account of cold weather in the early part of last month necessitating re- planting in many districts east of the Mississippi River. This little spurt car ried July from 10.SS to 10.S3.
 The larger estimates of the acreage by Miss Giles and The Chronicle infiu- enced some selling at the advance, and as the Liverpool weekly statement rather forecasted a bearish spinners' takings statement this afternoon, and the more favorable weather of the past week indicating a favorable Chronicle weather report. prices eased off towards the close of the day.
 In anticipation of a bearish bureau and condition report a sharp decline has taken place during the past week. the trade having about discounted an acreage increase of about 6 per cent. and a condition of about S3. Sentiment, however. is rather bearish in all mar kets, and unless smaller figures than the above are reported by the Govern ment a further decline might be re- corded when 1t would do to buy on &C., count of the limited supply of other crop cotton on hand and on reports of the crop being so late in the Missis- sippi Valley and in the South Atlantic States, for if an early movement of new cotton is to be experienced, Geor- gia will have to recover a great deal of lost ground even though Texas be | so far advanced.

 The wheat market opened weak and with the exception of few slight ral- lies the tendency of prices was down factor in situation was the general clear weather throughout the wheat growing sections of the country Dur ing the lay a large amount of long wheat was sold by tired holders and there was also considerable selling for short account.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER.
By Private Wire To Loveman and

Company.
 New York. June 1.-The deadlock in the market which has continued for ten weeks since the final census report on last years crop was published. has been finally broken, and prices have come down with a smash. The expected trary. the end of that month found prices down to the. 10 3-4 cent level. With the tame passing of May came a feeling of abandonment to the longs in July and strenuous liquidation in that option has been trading in the feat ure of the last few days. The week closed with prices at the bottom, and general feeling of uneasiness and ap- prehension prevailing. The bountiful showers of last Sunday and Monday put an end to all complaints of drought and Throughout the week there have been numerous estimates of increase in acre. age. nearly all indications point to a greater area planted than was nrst fields have been decidedly favorable and conditions in Texas reported to be nearly ideal It is not surprising therefore that as soon as the fictitious strength lent by the false idea of 9 squeeze at the May of dissipated prices should seek level more in keeping with the encouraging crop out look. A stale and disgusted July long has tended the adjustment by urgent liquidation.
 There win be a holiday tomorrow in Monday, New York alone will remain open and will have to bear the brunt of the agricultural bureau report pub lished at 1 o'clock on that day:
 that market would have to decline six points to meet our close of this after noon. ,,,,,,o

MARKET FOR COTTON
MARKET CONTINUED VERY NER-
 VOUs AND UNSETTLED.
Opening Was Steady at Advance, Influ- eaced by Good Cables, Weather Reports and Bearish Re-
 ports on Acreage.

New York, June I.-The cotton mar ket continued very nervous and unset- tied with the close showing a net loss of 12 to IT points. Sales for the day were estimated at 350.000 bales.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of points on the old crop which was influenced by steadier cables than expected and covering while the new crop was depressed by the favorable weather reports and bearish acreage estimates, one being issued by con- servatiye trade publication showing an tncrease of 9.54 per cent. and another showing an increase of 6.3 per cent. and placing the average condition at s21 per cent. Trading was quite act i've early but orders were very evenly divided with shorts covering for the holidays, while there was continued liquidation and some selling for short account on the bearish crop outlook. Prices moved irregular within a range of or 5 points until afternoon, when another private crop report was issued under which the market broke sharply. This report predicted an increase in acreage of 7.6 per cent, and placed the condition at S5.9 per cent. After it's publication July sold off to 10 50 and October to 25 or 12@14 points net lower. The close was barely steady in tone and at practically the low point of the session. Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1-S lower. Senti- ment here was very unsettled after the ar1ose, but of a bearish average and the local trade was figuring on an increase in acreage ranging from to per cent and a condition ranging around the ten year averages.
 The market will be closed tomorrow.
 Receipts at the ports today 13,2s7 bales against 11,515 last week and 1S,- 3e0 last year. For the week 760O0 bales against 75,416 last week and 123,- TO last year Today's receipts at New Orleans 1928 bales against 2,SS6 last year and at Houston 1924 bales against 1,94S last year.
