The Markets
NEW YORK sToce MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In Az
Tho Leading Stocks

New York. June 23.-The feeling of APP
prehension over the crop prospect proved
its dominant influence on stocks again
today and forced into the background
the more cheerful sentiment of yesterday
growing out of the Frightening prospect
for railroad rate increases and the I'M
proved investment demand for new cap
ital offerings.
Stock market operators-Set to work to
study the weather may at an early hour
today The amount of rainfall officially
reported there left a dubious feeling re-
garding the reports of abundant rams
which helped to send stocks upward yes
terday and stocks started with hesitat-
ing and uncertain movement to CORE
spond. 1t was not until the wheat mar
ket opened that the reactionary move
ment became pronounced. With the price
of wheat ruling two cents bushel high
er than yesterday and the advance sus-
tanned during the morning; the stock
markets misgivings over the state of
spring wheat in several OF the North
western states were revived.
The Importance attached to the crop
news obScured such happenings as the
return of J. Pierpont MORGAN and the
customary use made by professional OPP
orators of that recurrent event to adj
vance prices of the stocks most closely
The fact that Mr. Morgan insisted to
the full on his usual reticence helped
to cancel the influence of his return. A
story from Paris that he was bringing
production by Joint agreement with Eu
ropean producers failed of effect on cop
pers which were fully abreast of the
general dropping tendency of prices. The
additional items cleared up by Congress
and the promise thus held out of an
early adjournment were equally ignored
by the market, which has looked forward
to some symptoms of relief from specu-
latlVe apprehension to follow that event
The easing of the money market in New
York is restricted as yet to the shorter
periods, rates carrying over the end of
the year showing sitter tone. The
effect on the investment demand for Sc
curitieS is only moderate, partly owing
to the question how far the easing money
situation is due to economies in eXpendi-
ture. which may be reflected in the earn
ing power of business enterprises.
While the spring wheat outlook was
the influencing factor. the spring wheat

LANGFoRDk ETcHEL CONTEST.
Controversy Over Staging Of Bout at
Reno, July q.

Reno. New. June 23.-Aside from the
local interest in the coinings and go
ings of Jim Jeffries; the particular
angle of the fight situation that en-
cages Reno's attention today is the
controversy waging over the proposed
Langford-Ketchel contest.
Tex Richard and the local commit
tee in charge of the building of the
arena for the main battle are openly
opposing Promoter Hester's project.
They assert that the middleweight
match if staged on or before July 4, is
likely to draw patronage from the big
fight or at least cut down the sales of
the high priced seats.
ct is the Jeffries- Johnson fight that
will bring the visitors to Reno Rick
ard said last night. and it's not right
for anybody to try to cut in on us.
with a rival affair. They can have
our arena for their fight the minute
Jeffries and johnson get through with
it. | think they ought to be satisfied
with that offer"
On the other hand Hester and his
fellow promoter. Bill McCarey. say
their plan is thoroughly legitimate.
I'VE don't want to hurt the big fight
Hester asserted today. but We are go
ing to pull off our scrap if its possible
to do SO on the morning of July d."
According to Hester. a site has been
selected and arrangements are being
made to begin work at once on an
arena. IF the Ketchel- Langford go
proves a success" he declared, eve
plan to bring Tommy Burns and Lang
ford together here on Labor day"
Richard and Hester had an argu
ment last night over a long distance
telephone message Richard claimed to
have received from San Francisco from
Joe Woodman. Langford'S manager
According to Richard Woodman told
him that there was no chance of Lang
ford meeting Ketchel at Reno on. the
morning of the big fight. as he wood
mani had no intention of cutting in
on the Johnson Jeffries fight. When
Hester learned that Richard had made
the above statement, he called up
Woodman and claims to have received
denial from him Of any intention of
calling off the match. There was
talk at midnight that Testers contest
might be pulled off at Goldfield on the
however, said there was nothing in the
rumof.
Tom Flanagan expressed surprise
when The Associated Press informed
him early this morning of the reported
reconciliation between Jack Johnson
and his deposed manager. George
Little. He added:
Il am for johnson. first. last and all
the time. | want him to win this
fight. and whether | am his manager or
not does not figure in the matter.
Johnson will find me working here for
him when he arrives in Reno. I'll stay
with him as long as he needs me"
He was asked if he had a contract
with Johnson.
Yes, here is my contract" Flanagan
replied, and he produced a slip of pa
per containing the signed statement
Johnson recently gave to the press of
San Francisco, announcing that Elan
agan had ben appointed to assist him
in looking after his business interests.
