FINANCE AND COMMERCE

NEW YORK, August 16.-Trading in the market was more active and embraced many specialties such as Colorado Fuel and Iron. Colorado Southern. American Beet Sugar, Nat ional Biscuit company, American Ice. Central Leather and International Harvester.
 ement in these stocks was almost wholly manipulative. Later the more prominent issues, including Reading. Union Pacific, Southern Pa eific. Atchison. St. Paul. Steel, Amal- gamated Copper. and Smelling showed advances. Sentiment was more cheer full. traders taking the ground that the immediate outlook seems conducive to a better market. Financial institu- tions are strong in cash, but disin- clined to make disbursements save for legitimate purposes. Their pur- pose is based on the fact that many western and southern banks still show heavy loan expansions on real estate. The advantage today was almost fully maintained to the close. Bonds were steady. Governments were unchang ed. Sales s1.227OOO.

DISCUSSION 0F COOKS ENDS IN DIRTY BRAWL James Marr Mars L. p. Gray's Coun- tenance and Both Land in
 Jail.

Friendly discussion of the compar- ative merits of the cooking of male chefs and women cooks between James Marr and l.. F. Gray. yester- day afternoon, while the two were seated in the shade of the palms in the city hall plaza, ended q in Marr marring Gray's face -ss badly that it resembled a piece of fresh meat and landed both. men in the city jail.
 Gray said last evening" that he had been engaged as a foreman on Mur- phys ranch for nearly two years. quitting his place about two or three days ago. He had secured a new situation upon Creighton.s ranch and was to have left last evening for the scene of his new endeavors. Marr, too. had been engaged to work upon Creightons ranch, and he and Gray had planned to make the trip to- gether.
 It was while the tive men were passing the time away, waiting for the hour of their departure that they became engaged in the controversy tndN ChutQ Sp 0tSdSifVuSig N0idy io said to have lost his temper com pletely when Marr would not agree with him upon some delicate point and to have employed some abusive language Marr took it up imme- diately and struck Gray almost squarely between the eyes. Gray fell to the grass and Marr followed up his advantages by putting home some more well directed blows upon Gray's nose. The blood spurted and stained the grass while Gray rolled about like a drunken man.
 Tired with his exertion Marr found a sequestered spot under a nearby tree and was reposing there quietly when the police arrived upon the, scene. Gray was unable to say any thing about the assault and none of the bystanders seemed inclined to oniighten the police as to the identi- ty of the man who struck Gray But when the police threatened to arrest about half the crowd! and had picked out a few to constitute the first batch somebody pointed out Marri seated under tree a short distance
