strong. There was to be more boxing,
but Choynski was slightly ill and Arm
strong was not keen for more.
Jeffries did five miles on the road in the
morning under hot sun, and his after
Moons show lasted about an hour
After completing his work yesterday
Jeffries devoted the entire evening to
pleasure. He entertained his family and
close friends at a chicken chill dinner
and later in the evening was one of a
large party that went to a dance in Ben
Lcmond.
Jeffries took his first drink since start
ing to train yesterday afternoon. He
split bottle of stout with his business
partner, Jack Knipper. The fighter ex-
planned that, with a goodly part of the
grind still before him, he did not want to
grow stale, and that a drink of porter
or ale occasionally would be beneficial.
I'd johnson Satisfies Himself
San Francisco. May 15-Jack Johnson
did his first gymnasium training this
afternoon and any suspicious as to the
condition of the colored heavyweight were
entirely dispelled by the way in which he
went through his work.
Before a crowd of about 1000 in the
pavilion, Johnson went through the ordi-
nary routing exercises and wound up by
boxing eight full three-minute rounds.
When the last bout was over Johnson was
not even drawing a short breath. That
he could get ready for the coming fight
in three weeks was the general opinion.
The colored man was highly pleased
with himself and remarked to his friends
in his dressing room he was better than
he had imagined
In every department of the boxing game
he showed himself master.

the impression that bulls will have to
take any pay for more cotton tha IA.
spot sales at liverpool have decreased.
The dry goods trade in this country
Is in by no means as satisfactory
state as could be desired. Large ey-
ports. or impending exports. are report
ed. but on basis, 1t is said. Of sharp
discounts under tho July option. and
to some the wobbly condition Of the
Liverpool market at times has seemed
highly suggestive. From some parts of
Texas the adv,ces are to the effect
that the crop outlook could hardly be
better. Large spot interests have been
heavy sellers of both crops.
On the other hand. some reports
about the crop are distinctly bullish.
and the statistical position is regarded
by some close students OF cotton as
strong. It is arguedsthat the situation
Is precisely opposite from what 1t was
a year ago, when the cotton trade was
confronted with big stocks of both raw
and manufacture cotton. whereas now
these stocks are either actually small
or very moderate. a difference OF a
whole diameter between the situation
now and that existing at this time In
1909, with the single exception. 1t Is
true. that the price Is now nearly $40

crucial question now is whether this
increase IN cost Offset the bull factors
or not Meantime, bulls contend that
ideal conditions are necessary to pro-
duce the bumper crop which seem ;
necessary to retplenish the supplies of
the world, that the crop has had a
poor start; that the plant Is small. that
in some States II is two to three weeks
late. and that IT is open to serious
question whether a crop of the needed
