grown amazingly. Joseph Chamber

WOLCAST WINNER
Milwaukee Man Given Decision
Over Lew Powell at End

CONTEST BLOODY AT TIMES

San Francisco, Nov. 3O-Ad VOL
CAST of Milwaukee was given the de-
cision last night over Lew Powell at
the end of 20 rounds of fierce and at
times bloody fighting. Wolgast had
the better Of the contest from start
to finish, and his whirlwind rushes and
aggressive in-fghting proved a COM
bination that the local fighter was uu-
able to meet.
Powell Was FavOrite.
Powell was the favorite at odds of
10 to and was backed for thousands.
1t is now conceded by all that Wolgast,
after his showing against Powell, is
the legitimate opponent of Champion
Nelson.
The fight last night was remarkable
for the terrific clip the fighters main
tanned and the disinclination to break
ground or shirk punishment.
Wolgast opened the battle as if he in
tended to make it a runaway fight. He
dazzled Powell with his speed. His
aggressive fighting at close range was
a revelation. Time and again he drove
right and left short arm blows to body
and jaw and kept his arms going with
such piston-like regularity that Powell
was all at sea. He could not elude the
Milwaukeean's rushes. The best he
could do was to protect himself. VOL
CAST devoted his early attacks to the
kidneys and soon a great red blot be-
decked Powelrs back.
Fought Mt Close Range.
The men fought almost constantly at
close range, and while in this position
Wolgast sent smash after smash on
the CalifOrnian's jaw and face, and
soon blood was spoutirg in a stream
from his mouth and nose. One round
was a repetition of another, with VOL
CAST invariably holding the upper hand.
In the 18th round Powell made his
only showing. 1t was the most vicious
of the fight. For a moment it looked
as though Powell might turn the ia
bles. He sent in several ponderous
right smashes as WOlgast rushed in
and forced him TO stall most of the
round. Toward the close of the round.

after administering an awful beating
the Californian went to his corner in

A Captlous Audience.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Here is a news item the like of which one does not find in the newspapers of the United States. It comes from the City of Mexico and describes an exciting incident at Queretaro:
 Yesterdays bullfght" the reader is informed, twas wretched, and started a tremendous row. The management an- nounced that the bulls would be first class, but those which appeared were very small and showed no fight whatever Four of these ridiculous beasts were sent back to the corral, another barely qual- flied, and only one turned out to be a real bull.
 "The public, unable to repress it's indig- nation, laid hold of everything it could get its hands on and threw 1t into the bull ring, causing serious damage.
 "In the midst of the excitement the an- nouncement was made that the manage ment had been fined $1O0, but this was not sufficient to allay the public indig- nation The manager of the bull ring was compelled to hide. owing to the fact that some of the most excited individuals in the audience were making a diligent search for him.
 Tt was a tremendous row, as we re- marked before, and would have had more serious consequences liao not the Fifth corps of rural police arrived on the scene most opportunely. The policeman made the discontented audience disperse and then mounted guard over the bull ring and the residence of the mana ger"

EXTREMELY DULL
 GRAIN MARKETS
Prices Have Very Narrow
 Range During the Bay
BLIZZARD WEAKENS WHEAT
Trade fn Corn Is Almost as Dull as Wheat and Market Closes a Little Hgher-oats and Provi-
 sions Close Weak.

Chicago. January SO-Impaired wire service due to the severe storm contributed to some extent to an extremely dull ses- sion in all pits on the board of trade to- day. At the close prices for wheat, corn, oats and provisions were almost un- changed from the final quotations of the previous day
 A range of Ac in prices for all de- liveries throughout the day forcibly tells the story of the days transactions in the wheat pit What little news came into the pit was chiefly favorable to the bears. but the strong position of the bull leaders had a tendency to restrict sell ing. Weakness of foreign grain mar kets, due to free offerings of Argentina wheat and the recent rain or snow over the winter wheat belt in this country were the principal weakening factors The market closed steady with May at s1 .071hD 1.079s and July at 97ssc. Clearanees of wheat and flour were equal to 195 ,OOO bushels.
 Primary receipts were POI ,000.
 Minneapo"s, Duluth and Chicago re- ported receipts of S4 cars.
 
 dull as that in wheat the price ranges were equally as narrow. Scarcity of of ferings from the country had strength ening influence. The market closed steady with prices unchanged to a shade higher May closed at 627sc and July at 627s46Sc Local receipts were 12S cars with two of contract grade.
 Oats were quiet and steady, although sentiment in the pit was a trihe bearish. At the close prices were unchanged to 1sQAc lower compared with the previous close. Final quotations on May were 52o and July, 46asQ461sc. Local receipts were 104 cars.
 Closing out of small holdings of Jan uary pork was the sole feature of trade in the provisions market. This realizing caused a decline of 2215c in the price of that product compared with yesterdays close. Otherwise trading in the pit was at standstill and prices showed almost no change. At the close January pork was at the bottom while other products were 21zc higher to 219c lower than final quota tions of the previous day
 Cash quotations ranged as follows.

BuIlish Features Are Needed Since the Market Is Controlled By Profes- sionals Who Are Not Moved

New York January 30.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of and s points in response to better cables than expected, larger English spot sales, en- eouragfng weekly reviews of the dry goods situation and rather less bearish weekend figures than looked for on the opening It looked as though some recent heavy sellers were trying to cover but the advance was quickly checked by selling through brokers credited with op- erating for leading bull interests, ana the market during the middle Of the morning was nervous and irregular, with trading quiet and prices ruling some to 1 points net higher
 The market closed steady, with prices net 1 point lower to 3 points higher
 Fresh bullish features are needed since speculation is largely confined to profess sionals who in the absence of outside CO., operation, require obvious demonstrations in support of the correctness of their opin- ions.
 Spring weather is now the large issue looming up ahead Lack of seasonal win ter rains and the possibility of deluges during the planting season may become price influence of huge importance. In any event, the boil weevil must be reck- oned with Many delta planters have definitely abandoned long staple seed for short staple, early maturing seed in the hope of escaping the pest. A late spring would destroy that hope over most or Louisiana and Mississippi It follows that the relative value of long staple cotton is to increase with diminishing supply. Some owners of this class of cotton have already planned to hold indefinitely In expeetation of much higher prices.
 However with the recent increase Tn available general supplies, brought out by a steady advance covering period or several weeks "shorts' feel somewhat easier; although tenders have not been nearly so free either at New Orleans or New York as price opponents promised the talent they would be- Meanwhile the March position appears to be gaining friends, and something worth While may be on the programme for the month Of winds.

New Orleans, January 3o.-Spot cotton quiet and steady; life lower; middling, 91sc Sales on the spot, 525 bales; to ar rive. none.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of points on better cables than expected. Shorts became somewhat nervous and took profits freely with the result that the market ruled very steady Tor some time at an advance of to points. At the middle of the morning, however, shorts commenced selling again. and, coupled with some lit,le weekend liqui- dation by longs, were able to bring about a net decline, the market closing easy at the lowest of the day, ? to points lower than yesterday.
 Spots were very dull. The demand was chiefly from January shorts Total sales for the week were 430O bales on the spot, against 91Ol bales for the preceding week, and 2675 bales to arrive, against S7z5 for the preceding week. Middling lost lsc during the week.
