The sporting public believes that
Ketchell should be given the first chance
against the negro champion. They base
their conclusions on the fact that Ketch-
ell has always been hankering for n
match with johnson, while Delaney. only
few weeks ago stated that he was NOT
ready to match Kaufman against John
son. prefcrring TO wait n year or so
before he would let the big Californian
tackle the negro.
Many are OF the opinion that Kctchelf

REPORTED CALL
STOCK PRICES
STILL FIRMER

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Prices of stocks
today continued the vigorous recovery
which set in. yesterday. United States
steel was the dominant leader of the specu-
lation and its rapid advance set the tone for
the whole market. OF scarcely less infu-
ence on sentiment was the new prominence
assumed by st. Paul, Amalgamated cop
per and Union Pacific, which are supposed
to be the favorites in speculative mediums
of the Standard oil party.
The movement in these stocks had the
effect of quieting an apprehension pro-
fessed by an element of the speculation
that the Morgan movement in the market
did not have the support and approval of
the Standard oil party. The concurrent
revival of strength in Reading made an
important addition to the fayorins infu-
enees.
The tone of the money market was some
what easier in the call loan division in
spite of the forecast of another heavy de-
cline in the cash holdings of the banks
for the week.
The ruling rate for call loans was lower
than yesterday, and the supply of funds
was reported to be larger.
The foreign exchange market held steady
during most of the day and did not reflect
offerings of finance bills,
The weeks loss of cash by the banks is
estimated at between Sc, oOu 900 and ST.
600 900, the express movement with the
interior having been against New York on
balance in addition to the absorption of
SIS, ozS. 900 by the weeks subtreasury opera
tions. The movement of interior exchanges
indicates, however, that lull has occurred
in the demand for currency, such as is not
unusual for a few weeks after the LIST of
October.
The extraordinary movement in United
States steel caused a circulation of new
rumors of special development aside from
the favorable trade situation to account for
its rise. Reports of a contemplated dinner
at which the heads of the independent
steel companies are to be present in COM
pany with the head of the United States
steel corporation made the immediate &C.
casion for this rumor, which alleged an in
tended close working agreement TO include
all the producers. There was reported,
also. a better feeling in the copper trade,
but the effect was more pronounced on the
securities of copper Companies than on the
market for the metal itself. The Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas absorption helped
the stocks of the companies affected and
induced some oredence for reports of other
railroad deals. One of these pointed to
project for sharing control of the new
Western Pacific or even the Denver and
Rio Grande, which owns the control of that
road between the Gould interests and
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. The
above specimens will indicate how large
a part unverifed rumors played in the
days market.
Realizing sales deducted something from
the days gross gains, but there were new
points of strength in the late market.
Bonds were IRREGULAR Total sales, par
value, 81. l64, 600.
United States bonds were unchanged on
