New York, April 2l-Thc extreme dull

waited today and the inertia of the mass
OF the list of securities was not overcome
at any. time by. the moderate movements
in a few special stocks. Trading was
listless ard the only show Of interest was
on the part of few board room traders.
Stocks were in scanty supply but on the
other hand general demand was almost
stagnant. The dull and almost notion

one another which serve to hold the
market for the time at a dead level
1t was rather significant that the filing
of a mortgage for $50 OoO, 900 on Illinois

Arthur Cote Did Not
Meet Kid Goodman.
Some Minor Events However
Were All Right.
Harry Lewis and Larry conIey Are
Matched For April Fl.

Had it not been for the semi-final
and seine of the prelmnaries at the
boxingN exhibition given at City hall
last evening under the management OF
the Augusta Social and Athletic Club
it would have been a very tame affair,
for the main bout, the bout between
Kid Goodman and Arthur Cote, and
the bout which everybody went to City
hall to see, came not The reason was
that Cote was mot in condition" 1t
was sad that things were as they
were, but the management could not
allow the Biddeford gladiator to enter
tho ring for fighting purposes and the
bout, so far as he was concerned, was
off.
IN order that the crowd might not be
disappointed, however, Young Cote of
Bildeford, who is by the way, one of
tGe cleVerest boys of his age in the
State, volunteered to go on with Good
man, although of course he was out
cIassed by the latter. Goodman then
had a fit Of the sulks and had also a
dream that if he hung out for more
money than Manager Hanks had Of
fered him, he would get it, but the
dream proved false, for when he came
to make the demand he found that the
old gag would not work, and when Mr.
Hanks told him to fight or go home he
concluded to fight.
The bout was not a long one and it
only tok him two rounds to send the
BidGeford lad TO the land of Nod, but
Young Cote played q good game
while he lasted.
The semi final between Bobby Goode
and Kid Stringer was the best event
of the evening. and had a decision
been given the audience would have
been satisfied to have called it draw.
Both lads mixed it throughout the six
rounds that the bout lasted, some of
the time at a very rapid pace and
everybody was satisfied with the ex-
hibition.
For the preliminaries Kid Cassidy
got the better of Young Joe Cans in
two rounds, and Young Walsh, who
was up against a lively youngster
from Biddeford, Kid Nedeau, after
two rounds of pretty hot work. decid-
ed that Nedeau was too heavy for him
and quit For the leading preliminary
George Gilbert and Albert Lewis had
one of their spectacular encounters,
which furnished no end of amusement
and won the greatest applause of the
evening. Another feature in the list of
prelims was the meeting between Kid
Dudley and Kid Alberts, in which the
youngsters cuffed one another freely
but could not seem to gain any adj
vantage.
Previous to the main event Manager
Hanks introduced to the audience
Harry Lewis, the conqueror of Honey
Melody, also Lewis trainer, Jack Di-
mond of Philadelphia, and announced
that Lewis would meet Larry Conley
of South Boston at City hall next Mon
day evening, April 81
