FROM THE SCRAP BOOK

The officials of the Paramount A. G..
of New York are endeavoring to attach
the blame of the killing of the Lang
fornian, closely allied with Jimmy
Coffroth. Allegations have been made
and certain names referred to, but no
definite charges have been formulated
The managers of the National A. c.
of South Boston claim that there will
be no police interference with the
bouts at the clubhouse formerly oc-
cupied by the Faneuil Hall A. G. and
are confident that the program sched-
uled for next Monday night will be
carried through successfully. f-'.
Mike Twin Sullivan claimed that he
injured his hand in the second round
in his bout with Terry Martin, and
while it is true there was a swelling
on the back of his right hand as he
displayed it there was no evidence
that any bones were broken.
Mike Melia and Angus McDougal,
both South Boston boys, have been
added as the third and opening attrac-
ton at the Armory A. A., Boston, next
Tuesday evening, when Sam Langford
and the Dixie Kid will meet in the
final bout.
The management of the Apollo A. C.
of Salem is on a hot chase for talent
for the show Monday evening. Joe
Walcott disappointed the matchmaker
by falling to live up to his agreement
to meet Young Jack Johnson, but a
substitute main bout will be arraigned.

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. Sept 23-There was some
further liquidation at times in today's
stock market. When relieved from this
pressure prices tended to recover. but
the dealings dwindled to such an extent
as to reduce the days total to the small
est Inquire in over week. The day proved
almost barren of incidents and the mar
ket of very little interest. In the period
of dullness one or two specialtes We're
picked out for individual upward move
ments. The telegraph stocks We're an in
stance: Mackay Cos rose buoyantly to
new high record figures. accompanied by
rumors of intended dividend increase
Western Union bore it company and
American Telephone and Telegraph was
affected to a less extent. The movement
in concert with these stocks invariably
gives rise to rumors of intended consoli-
dation. Some resistance to depression
was shown by Pennsylvania. which re-
covered brislIly from yesterdays sharp
decline caused by the non-action of the
directors on any plan giving stock sub
sCription rights. Today there were reit-
Grated rumors of coming dividend in
crease. Similar rumors were revived of
other stocks when the downward course
of prices was arrested Money both on
call and on time seemed to grow some-
what easier, perhaps as result of liqui-
dation of stocks already effected. 1t was
reported, however that some further
calling of loans was being made both by
the banks and the trust companies.
The currency movement was still
against the banks. The sub-treasury has
started again to withdraw large sums
from the banks, the amount since the
last bank statement having risen to 49,
6S2,VO, although this compares with a loss
o/the same source for the similar pc
riod last week of $6.642OOO. The deposit of
600 at the sub-treasury for Geographic
transfer to New Orleans was an incident
of the day to attract attention as mark
ing the beginning of a new demand upon
the New York banks The storm losses
and the high price for cotton. it was as
sumed. might have FASTENED this demand
to some extent. The money situation. in
fact, was accepted as the explanation of
the reluctance of speculation to take up
it's activities with vigor. even when freed
from the immediate pressure of liquida-
ton.
On the side of business affairs there
were none but helpful influences. The
crop news was good, except for the storm
losses in the cotton belt, and more hope
full estimates were current of the dimen-
sions of the coming yield of corn. These
influences were restrained by the money
position but they contributed to the re-
covery from the early positive depression
without availing to hold the recovery.
