WHEAT

This market has not displayed much
activity as far rs price changes are
concerned, the net gain for the week
past is hut ! cent.
The volume 0l business transacted,
however. has been large and the i'll
vestment and speculative public are
coming into the market in force. The
feeling Is becoming general that wheat
at or around nresent prices Is cheap.
and us it is, in fact present prices are
within a fraction OF the lowest prices
in the past five years. This too at a
time when the best authorities agree
that the spring wheat crop will not
turn out nearly as big as was promised
Il week or ten days ago. But, the pro-
fessional bears who have been very
successful this year are inclined to
keep the market under pressure all
the time.
The very large premiums now being
paid for cash wheat in all markets,
especially Minneapolis. leads us to be-
lieve that millers in general, recog-
nize the fact that farmers this yeas
are more prosperous than ever before
and that they will not throw their
wheat ON the market as soon as it is
harvested, as is the case after a period
of rather slack times. but will this
year hold it until prices are such that
they can accept them with fair
chance of profit to themselves. This
would seem TO be the case as our
receipts of new wheat are very small
an dcash houses and our own agents,
advise us that there will be no early
movement OF wheat; farmers pre-
ferring to send in their barley and oats
first and hold the wheat until later.
Cash wheat at this writing is bring
ing the highest premium on the crop,
being 6 cents over September for
northern and cents over for north
ern in Minneapolis. And this at a
time when the new spring wheat crop
is actually moving, is really surpris-
ing and we believe in itself would be
sufficient to cause short sellers con-
siderable uneasiness.
The present foreign situation is
also a very strong factor in price
making. The most conservative a,,-
thorities on European crop matters,
say that the European requirements
will be we'll over 20O,OO0,O0O bushels
of American wheat this year. The
heavy clearances of the past few weeks
bear but this estimate: Bradstreet
makes the exports of wheat and flour
since July LIST this year 1S,145,OOO

CANS is FAvORlTE.

Goldfield, New, Aug. 31.-Now that
everything is running smoothly for the
Gans-Nelson finish fight in this city on
September 3 Labor Day., the promot-
ers want to add all the features they
can to draw the crowds and are sitting
up nights figuring on the best way to
advertise the contest throughout the
country.
Orders for seats are coming in very
fast, and it is expected that no less
than 900 women will witness the con-
test. The fair sex is very much inter-
ested in the outcome of the battle and
they go to the training quarters Of the
boxers daily to see them go through
their preliminary stunts.
Today the Goldfield club sent a per-
sonal letter to President Roosevelt
asking him to be the guest of the Or
ganization on Labor Day.
The best seat at the ringside is Of
fered the chief executive if he will
lend his presence to the occasion 1t
is not thought that Roosevelt will ac-
cept, at the same time everyone knows
that the president is an ardent admirer
of the manly art of self-defense.
Cams the Fnvorite.
ACCORDING 10 trainers MCDOnalQ ana
Sullivan, Joe Cans weighed yesterday
afternoon just 1872 Ia pounds. There
is no reason why this given weight
should be doubted. and it only goes to
show Joe should be able to fulfill the
clause of the articles on weighing
easily and still be strong.
The fact that Cans HAS so easily
come to weight has doomed his stock
away up. and a number of small bets
aat 10 to 7.>with the Dane on the short
end, have been made.
Last night Carl Larson. miner
working on the Stray Dog, at Manhat-
tan. bet 500 against 1000 with Larry
Sullivan. taking Nelson's end.
If some more Dane money does not
show up pretty quick odds will go to
10 to 6, and possibly 2 to I.
The prospect ofsNelson being on the
short end does not worry Manager
Billy Nolan at all, and he says that
when the time comes he will get down
q roll that will cause ripple. All of
which remains to be seen.

C|NCH ON PENANT
Houghton Seems Probable
Winner of Northern-C. G.
League Rag.

Duluth Herald: Barring the posi-
bility that the games pitched by Barry
will be thrown out, the Houghton team
appears to have pretty firm hold on
the Northern and Copper Country
league pennant.
While the Sox have been putting
crimps in the aspirations of the Aris-
tocrats, the Giants have been fattening
up their percentage at the expense of
the disorganized Lake Linden team.
and they have opened up good lead
on Calumet
If the Sox continue their wonderful
squirt and take another two or three
games from the Aristocrats. the
Houghton management could stand it
to be robbed of the games that Barry
pitched.
Meanwhile the chances of Duluth
finishing in third place appears to be
excellent. Fargo helped the good
work along yesterday by defeating
Winnipeg. and there is now but a
small gap between the two teams. If
the Sox win both games today and
the Maroons lose, they will be prac-
tically tied.
There is also scant possibility that
the SoX can finish in second place by
taking five straight from Calumet, and
playing in good luck dufing the Lake
Linden series, but the fans hardly hope
for this.

next year, carried by as swift four
year-old trotting filly as has shown
up this year. Henry Chisholm, a son

races at the matinee of the Gentle
mems Driving club of Cleveland, and
has won all of them. This mare is by
Liberty Chimes. out of a mare by
Almedo. and in her last race had to

star matinee performers. Not only did
she trot fast. but she, raced gamely

which he has carried off the biggest

He heads the list of Jockeys, with the
best average, over rs per cent, and
COMES thlrd as regards the number of
winning mounts. having secured
place in 81 races out of 179 in which
he has ridden.
AS the result of these successes he
has won in stakes $271.S74.
Last week he captured the two chief
events at Sandown Park-the Eclipse
stakes. worth $46.425, on Liangibby,
and the National Produce Breeders
stakes. worth $21,7S5, on Lord Rose
berry's Traquaif.
In addition he has ridden the win
ners of such valuable races as, the
Kempton Jubilee. the Derby and Oaks
at EPSON; the Manchester Cup and
the Coventry stakes. and the Coronation
stakes and Gold Cup at Ascot.
There Is no doubt that he will con-
siderably exceed this sum before the
end of the present season.

SPORTING NOTES. 8


Abe Attell. featherweight champion,
and Frank Carsey. Chicago fighter.
have been matched to engage in fif-
teen round battle at Davenport, Iowa,
September .. The fray will be for fif-
teen rounds and will be held under the
auspices of the Tri-State Athletic club.
The lads have agreed to weigh in at
124 pounds at o'clock on the day of
the contest. Each contestant is to post
$3.50 for weight and appearance, Abe
Pollock to referee.
The lads met in a fifteen-round con-
test about week ago and Attell was
given the decision, although many
thought Carsey should have had a
draw with the champion. Carsey i'm
mediately sought another match with
the Californian and the fighters and
their managers met and. after dis
cussion OF nearly three hours. agreed
to sign.
Gus Bezenah will have a chance to
meet the topnotchers in his class if
he can beat Percy Cove at Seattle on
September %. He got word from his
manager, Jack Reid. that the match
was made and for him to come on as
soon as he could This match is for a
$1,000 purse, and the winner will get
the opportunity to meet Harry Baker
or Abe Attell for a big purse. Gus
wrote his manager that everything
was acceptable and that he would
start for the far west as soon as his
coming bout with Jack Langdon is
over. This contest is billed to take
place near Cincinnati on September Z,
and that will give Bezenah plenty of
time to get to Seattle. Bezenah is in
active training at the Sunflower Ath-
letic club, near Oakley, where he is
meeting all corners daily.

JACK MUNR0E TALKS
Great Pugilist of Near Past is
Now a Boniface in Cobalt
Region.

New York, Aug. 31-To those who
have interest in the after life of the
knights of the mitt when they have
passed away from the glare of Broad
way the intelligence that Jack Munroe
has been discovered in his seclusion
will be welcome news.
Three hundred miles south of Hud-
son Bay, away up in the pine and
tamarack county of Ontario, Jack
MunrOe is running a hcnkatonk on the
lonely shores of slumbrous old Lake
Temiskaming.
News of Jack MunrOe was brought
to Broadway by Jack Mccormick of
Pittsburg, who has just returned from
the new silver mining fields of Cobalt,
in Ontario province, in Canada.
Munroe calls his place "Coney Is
land" This of itself establishes Mum
roe's reputation as Il humorist, and on
seeing "Coney Island" on the silent
shores of Lake Temiskaming, one Won
ders why Jack isn't in vaudeville in
stead of in Canada. The opening of
the Temiskanling "Coney Island" &C.
Cured last Sunday night.
Jack Munroe superintendent the
opening himself. He showed no
change in physical appearance from
the time when New York looked him
over approvingly after his fight with
Sharkey and actually believed he
might have a chance in the ring with
Jeffries.
He can still fight, and won two i'm
promptu fights in ten minutes.
Jack is confident thta his place will
be a great success this summer. The
Quebec authorities have shown dis
position to let him go as far as he
likes. and the miners. prospectors and
lumberjacks who can't get liquor on
the Ontario side will gladly make the
trip across the lake to "Coney Island
whenever their thirsts grow too strong
for endurance.

Great $4,000 Horse Race at
Sheepshead Bay Set for
Tomorrow.
Largest Stake Offered in the

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York. Aug 31-The great
Futurity, worth about $4,000. will be
run over the siN-furlong straight
course at Sheepshead Bay tomorrow.
The predictions are for favorable
weather. and the Coney Island Jockey
club anticipates an attendance OF at
least $4,000 persons.
The Futurity is the largest stake
offered in this country for horses. 1t
is not an old event. but is the precursor
of number of similar large stakes.

and the like. None has attained the

at least with the Suburban and
Brooklyn handicap as an event to be
watched at all costs.

spects the best of the series. Proctor

STOCKS

The great upward movement in the
stock market continues. The past
week has seen new high marks for
such representative stocks as Union
Pacific, st. Paul, Southern Pacific and
Atchison.
The outlook according to the best
informed financial journals is for a
continuation of the bull movement,
with the lower priced railroad and
Industrial issues becoming active and
participating to a greater extent in
the general upward movement.
A leading New York financial Jour-
nal, Town Topics, today says: "Eu-
rope is becoming more and more a fac
tor in this market and we expect to
see continued heavy buying of an in
vestment character, not only by Lon
don, but the continent at large. This
will naturally be reflected in lower
rates for sterling exchange and heavy
imports of gold which will materially
clear up the money market situation.
The Philadelphia affair has lost it's
force as market influence while it
undoubtedly led to a considerable ex-
tension of the short interest which has
by no means been covered as yet. The
strong interests are not at all disposed
to liqufdate their holdings at present
and continued support may be expect
ed from that quarter. which was really
responsible for the advance in the first
place. All the fundamental crop and
business conditions are favorable to
higher prices and we expect the I'M
proving tendency to last for a con-
siderable time linger. Canadian Pa
cific. the Hill, Hartman and steel is

present promise. we believe, will have
to be considerably reduced between
now and the gathering of the crop.
Aside from the crop prospects there
are other bullish. elements. The con-
gestion of the September option can
not help but have strengthening eff
feet on the more distant months. The
very small stocks of corn at all prim-
airy points will also prove very bull
ish. Available supply of cash corn in
public and private elevators in Chicago
are said to be considerable under
100000 bushels. The cash demand
Is very urgent and now selling at the
highest premiums on the crop. Export
sales are now being entirely taken
care of by New York, as 1t is impossi-
BILE to make up a cargo in Chicago.
In view of the uneQualed prosperity
and the low prices now prevailing,
we believe that in the near future,
purchase made now will look good.

LARGEST PREMIUMS OF YEAR BEING PAID FOR CASH WHEAT
GATED WEEK OR TWO AGO
STOCKS OF CORN IN CHICAGO ARE LESS THAN A MILLION
bushels against only 4.474,O0O bushels

bushels against only 4,474,OOO bushels
last year.
The continental wheat stocks on
Aug. LIST were only 1925. 900 bushels,
this Is Il decrease of 100000 bushels
for the monthsof July and is 1890, 900
bushels smaller than those of the same
date Il year ago. The English visible
supply last week showed a decrease
of $4,000 bushels; compared with an
increase of 10000 bushels year ago.
Worlds shipments continue to run
small. with Russia and the Danubian
countries furnishing nearly 100000
bushels less than last year. All other
countries except America are falling
away behind last year in their exports.
This is taken to mean that they either
have less wheat or are willing to sell
1t at the prevailing low prices.
The announcement of a cut in the
grain rate from Chicago to New Or
leans will. we believe, cause consider
ablef new buying of cash wheat, as the
cut is such that it makes very big
margin in favor of the European buyer.
Wheat is. we believe. one of the best
investment purchases offered today.

ARE IN GOOD TRIM
Cans and Nelson Both in Fine
Fettle and Eager for
Fray.
Associated Pres. to The Evening Times.

Goldfield, New, Aug. 31.-The sale
seats for the Gans-Nelson fight today
shows that an enormous crowd will
witness the Labor day battle. From
San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles.
Denver, Salt Lake, and from Chicago
and other distant paints delegations of
the sporting fraternity will be on hand
to see the lightweights contest for the
championship.
Cans is impatient for the fight to
begin. as he declares he wants to show
the public what he can do at weight
which suits him. All reports from the
Cans camp are to the effect that he Is
in splendid shape. He himself says he
is in just as good trim as he was when
he met Joe Walcott at San Francisco,
when he stood the rushes of Walcott
and landed at will on the Barbados
demon.
Reports from the Nelson camp say
the Dane is as fit as fiddle and is
as confident as Cans. He is said to
have bet large bunch of ready money
on himself and to have advised his
friends to take the short end.

the best buyers, although the domestic
demand Is far from being slow. Prices
for the options have, we believe, been

In view Of the big decline in prices
