NEW YORK, Dec. 20 - The money
eltnation continued to manifest its in
iiuence today by keeping down the
volume of transactions in stocks
rather than by any notable depras-
sion in prices. The market was so
near the point of stagnation that there
was little demand for loans on call
and tho quoted rate was unaffected
IN a degree to correspond. The re-
newal rate was well Maintained :.
Tho extension of the holiday in the
l.unilon market today took on por-
tion of the uslAil dealings and agra

aside from the immediate course of
the money market there is per
astcncc of some anxiety over the

BOXING.
Joe Cans Is Ready to
Meet Battling Nelson.
Threatens to Retire Il Nelson
Does Not Come to Terms.
Jack Palmer Anxious TO Arrange
Bout With 0'Brien.

Baltimore, Feb. Z1.-JOe Cans says
he is ready to meet Battling Nelson if
the latter comes to terms. Ii the bat
tier is not ready to do that, Joe says
he viii retire.
Cans dropped unexpectedly into Bal
tirnore Tuesday, laying off one week
from his show. Joe came to Baltimore
to see his family-nore particularly his
unclr, Daniel Pennington, who, Joe
says, has been the same as a father to
him. Pennington is i'll. and as he is
60 years cd. Cans felt much concern
about him.
Cans is greatly worked up over re-
away all the money he has made since
his late years of success. He says
there is absolutely no truth in the
statement.
Il think the report got out" he said,
through a report being present
when an attempt was made to touch
me for a loan I made some sort of a
half joking excuse about having spent
my last spare cash on the horses, but
as I have already loaned several thou
sand dollars, / had to protect myself.
But I have got to come out now
with the truth Of my own secret to
protect myself from men that l think
a great deal more OF than ] do of the
tOuchers. These are the men, who.
with nothing to gain, have eXactcd
from me promises that 1 should look
on the serious side of life and save my
money.
Il have made many promises and
want it known that l have kept them.
l have given up the three forms OF
gambling upon which / have spent
money in the past, namely, horse bet
ting. craps and card games. l have cut
them all OUT. 1t has been said that l
play faro. That's one of the stories. I
| only know that il is faro when l see
it, but | do not even know how it is
played.
II want it known that / have made
over to my mother every dollar of
my savings, and her bank account is
| now fully $4,000 All this has come to
| her since my fight with Battling Mel
| son. Every week since then. when ]
| have drawn my salary, I have kept out
| 500 or $50 for my expenses and sent
the rest 20 her. Rest assured that the
| bacon is home and home to stay.
Now let me say that my proposed
| battle with Britt is indefinitely post
poned. We expect it will be taken up
| in April. If it finally falls through, |
shall be open for one more fight. That
one will DC with Nelson if he sees fit
to come to terms. If he does not, then
| | shall retire
