DULLNESS AND NEGLECT.
Professional Traders Ignore the Stock
Market Developments.

New York. June 16-The stock
market today was abandoned to dull
ness and neglect. Immediate develop
ments were ignored and the profess
sionaI traders were driven to framing
ConjectureS over what might prove to
be the markets response to expected
happenings in the future. It was urged
that the enactment of the railroad bill.
when completed, ought to open the
way for some activity in the specula-
ton, although the short time yet re-
quired and the defnitive form to be
taken by the statute are taken for
granted.
A more influential factor in the re-
preston of the speculation is the con-
test to be waged over the coming at

The determination expressed by ship
pers and their disposition to form
strong organization to contest the pro-
posed advances aroused some anxiety
amongst those who rely on the higher
rates to keep up profits. The symp-

ecutives themselves in the discussion
of the question of retrenchment and
the broad insinuation by the president
of the Great Northern that stock mar

ALLIE MURPHY
PUGILISTIC MANAGER.
Has Ed Casey in Tow for Heavyweight
Bouts-AIIie is Out of the Bowling
Business Now.

Allie Murphy, the ducl1pin star.
journeyed here from Bridgeport on
Thursday and was calling on Norwich
friends, introducing Ed Casey of
Bridgeport, a heavyweight pusilist,
whom he is managing, and would like
to put on for bouts with any scrappers
in this neck of the woods. In size and
bulk Casey looked the part, weighing
in the neigflborhood of 100 pounds and
standing well UP towards six feet.
Besides going in for the pugiEstic
game, Casey has a football record of
two years on the Villa Nova eleven,
where he played tackle in 1907 S,meet-
ing some of the best opponents that
could be found in the college world at
tina time. 1t was his luck to stack up
against the captains of opposing elev-
ems. playing Wauseeka of the Carlisle
Indians, Northcroft of the Navy, and
Siegling of Princeton. An so yard run
by Casey on a fumbled ball to touch
down was an incident of the Prince
tong anne, but he was called back and
the touchdown not allowed because of
some infraction of the rules by anoth-
err Nova man.
Murphy has quit the bowling bust
ness. preferring something else for the
summer and has prospects of another
line of occupation when he returns to
Bridgeport. Meanwhile he would like
to hear-from anyone who wants to

The two crews CHANGED to get away
