Nelson Says Purse Should Be
Larger By Thousands.

Philadelphia, March 7.-Battling Nell
son and his manager, Billy Nolan. ar
rived here Wednesday evening and will
leave at once for JuareZ, Mexico, where
the former hopes to get rid Of a cough
which has been bothering him for sew
eral weeks.
Nolan Wednesday received tele-
gram from Tex Richards Offering $780,
900 purse for Nelson to meet Joe Cans
at Goldfeld, New. Nolan said:
81 turned down the offer and wired
Richards that W. wouldn't accept. The
reason is that the purse is too small.
The Nelson-Gans fight last SEPTEMBER
drew $4,000. The next one Will draw
much more than that and, therefore
s3O, 600 is too small a purse"
When asked if the challenges OF ROD
SIN. Russell and Murphy would be &C
cepted, Nolan declared that there was
not any intention to accept any OF
these defis, as Nelson's sole aim during
the rext few weeks would be To rid
himself of his cough.
Nolan declared that Nelson would
fight Cans only on the same terms as
before.

POTATO SUPPLY CORNERED
Disastrous Freeze in the South
Causes a Dearth.
Spectators Buy Up Supplies and
Jump Prices Fifty Per Cent. Fol
lowing the Freeze.

New York City.-The wholesale
price of potatoes in this city has ad-
yanced fifty per cent, and as prac-
tically all of the large operators have
bought all they could get hold of,
there is little prospect that the con-
Stunning public will have a chance to
buy supplies at the prices which have
prevailed hitherto this season. Maine
potatoes, which were quotable at
$1.50 per bag, are now held firmly at
$2.25, and State stock has advanced
in about the same proportion.
The furry In the market was
caused by the freeze in the South.
particularly in the large producing
districts around Charleston and Sa-
vannah, where the supplies of new
potatoes for this market are largely
obtained during the spring months.
Prior to the freeze it had already
been known that the potato crop OF
Florida had been eurtailed about fifty
per cent. by the protracted drought
In that State, and while some of this
stock is already in the market, it is
held at $3.50 to ST per barrel, a price
too high to bring them in competition
with old potatoes, even with prices of
the latter much further advanced
European potatoes, which are or.
dinarily called upon to relieve 9
shortage here in the spring months,
cannot be delivered here for less than
$3.50 per sack, so that there is room
for the large operators to force prices
still higher without meeting compe-
tition.
No sooner had the spectators con-
firmed the freeze damage early in
the week than they SEN Geographic
orders throughout all the large pro-
ducing districts in New York State
and Maine and bought all the sup
plies of old potatoes they could quiet
ly obtain. In the meantime prices in
New York City were not advanced,
because this of course would have
caused the growers in the country to
put their prices up. The big buyers
had obtained all the supplies they
wanted and then suddenly advanced
prices.
In addition to the effect of the
freeze upon the potato market it has
caused an advance of about 100 per
cent. in the price of strawberries ow-
ing to the fact that the Southern
crop was curtailed by the freeze. 1t
will also meal that watermelons and
cantaloupes from that section, which
usually reach this market about June
1, will not be here until about July /,
and that there will be a very short
supply OF Southern vegetables of all
descriptions here this spring.
The freeze has been the most disas-
trous to the trucking interests
through the Southeast that has ever
been experienced since this great in
dustry developed.
