FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
HAD DEPRESSING EFFECT.
Ruling of Interstate Commerce Com
mission Forces Prices Down.

New York, July 3.-The long ex-
pected ruling of the interstate com
merce commission on anthracite
freight rates was chief of the depress-
ing Influences which brought about an
abrupt decline today in prices on the
stock exchange. The outcome was es-
pecially disappointing to the railroads
most affected. since they had express
ed themselves as quite confident of
decision in their favor 1t was said
that the order for a reduction of Lee
nigh Valleys rates might be followed
by corresponding reductions by other
anthracite carrying lines. Stocks of
all the coal roads were depressed, al
though Erie showed the effect of the
support which has been given con-
sistently for several weeks and yielded
only a small amount. The weakness
of the coalers spread to the remainder
of the list and most of the leading
stocks lost from one to two points.
Traders showed some genuine con-
Germ as to crop prospects today, on
account of reports from many agri-
cultural districts, whic htold of dam
age to grain from the intense heat
The greatest damage was reported
from the west and the character of
the reports was a factor of importance
in shaping speculative opinion. AL
though weather advices from Wash
ington suggested more hopeful con-
ditions in the near future, bear traders
declined to yield their ground, and
instead of making the customary re-
duction in commitm ents on the eve of
a holiday, in some cases increased
their obligations, believing that fur
ther crop news would result in an
other decline in prices on Wednes-
day. The stock market did not heed
the government report on cotton in
spite of its highly favorable character,

roads did not move on it's appear
ance.
Another indirect influence that
could hardly be accounted as encour-
aging is the latest phase in the So
called Moroccan affair. All the Eu-
this situation, London's prices for our
shares rejecting absolute weakness
For the first time in many weeks
practically all American shares were
lower there. Paris reported a decided
break in rentes, and the Berlin
bourse was quite unsettled. London's
sales in this market were estimated at
&c, 900 shares, and pressure from this
course was to some extent RESPONSE
bic for the heavy opening in the New
York market.
The decline in stocks was largely
the result of professional operations
There were no indications of en-
forced liquidation and after the first
sharp break the market was narrow
and dull. Weakness of the Hartman
stocks was ascribed to the decrease in
the earnings of the roads for the year
just closed. as compared with the pre-
vlous period. 1t is not disputed. how
ever, that both roads have earned
their dividends. with considera Bile to
spare. In the industrial group there
was pressure against United States
Steel, but that stock suffered less than
other speculative favorites.

BACKING WOLCAST To STOP MORAN
Lightweight Champion is Favorite Over Enalishman-
But Owen Confident of Winning This Afternoon in
20 Round Fight.

San Francisco, July 3.-For the first
time in nearly thirty years an interna-
tional fight for the lightweight boxing
championship of the world will be
staged tomorrow, when Champion AID
Wolgast of Cadillac, Mich, and Owen
Moran of Birmingham, England, meet
in this city in a twenty round bout.
On the eve of the fight both men are
in as nearly perfect condition as it is
possible for them to be, according to
their trainers. Both are well under
the 1873 pound limit and neither has
suffered any loss of strength or speed
in reducing to this figure.
Big Bettors Like WoIgast.
Wolgast has been made a 10 to 6
favorite over the Briton, and ring ex-
perts predict that he will enter the
ring at to 1. Big bettors are taking
the Wolgast end, While Moran has a
large following among the haaitual
short end players.
Tom Jones, manager of the cham
pion, has wagered heavily on his pro-
tege. Odds of 10 to are offered that
Wolgast will score knockout.
Both fighters are bubbling over with
enthusiasm and confidence, and ring
side fans are expecting a SlaShing con-
test.
Look for Moran to Land Often.
Admirers of Wolgast believe that he
viii succeed in wearing down his clev-
er antagonist before the twenty rounds
has been traversed. But Moran's back
ers argue that the Englishman's skill
at hoxing will enable him to check the
rushes of the champion and that
throughout the combat he will land
three blows to Wolgast's one.
Each camp enjoyed rest today, and
the principals engaged only in light
exercises. Wolgast posed for the NOV
ing picture preliminaries.
No Thought of Losing, Says Champion.
Afterwards he spok confidently OF
his chances on the morrow. I have
never felt better or stronger during my
entire career as battler," he said. IF
Moran stays the twenty rounds l win
be surprised. l feeel that | am not
in the Iightest danger of losing.
After tomorrow said Moran. "the
lightweight belt goes back to England.
Unless / am wofully mistaken the
sporting world will see a new cham
pion. I have trained long and faith
fully for this contest and will have no
excuses to offer if l lose"
Jack WEIGH Will referee the bout.
The men will enter the ring about $50
o'clock Pacific coast time.
