FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
LIGHTEsT DAY OF YEAR.
eteek MarItst Has Net Been So Dull
 Since July of 1908.


 New York, April 6.--Trading fell to t1fe low point of the year today on the nEeck exchanges; in fact, it was the id4llest day since July of 1908. The level of prices did not vary perceptibly at any time during the entire session, the features of yesterdays market were comparatively quiet Efforts to create 8 market for these stocks,- which have no bearing upon the general mar ket met with no success, and merely served to emphasize the paralysis of speculation and the unwillingness of traders to make fresh ventures until some clear idea is obtained as to what may be expected in the way of t2rin l4Eis1ation and decisions in the anti trust cases. United States Steel was the one stock to be specifically affected by Washington news, but made no re- eponse to the introduction in the house Of . resolution similar to that present. ed to the last congress, calling for an investigation of the steel corporation
 Bonds wers more active relatively than stocks and the sales of American Tobacco, American Telephone and Tel egrAph and Bethlehem Steel bonds were large. reflecting the recent ten- dency on the part of investors to buy securities of industrial corporations, which have found greater favor fol- lowing the railroad rates agitation and
 
 of bonds for March on the stock ex- change were $10,OU0,000 less than in the corresponding month of last year, although the contraction was much smaller than that in stocks.
 Various reports to the effect that Union Pacific is soon to engage in new financing took the shape today of a statement that the road is to list $5o,- 00O, 900 new common stock at 150. The report lacked official confirmation, however. and received little credence in the best informed quarters It is known that the Hartman lines have plans afoot for Improvements which will call for new financing during the next few years. but no project of this nature is expected to be undertaken at present, so soon after the fiotation by the Southern Pacific of a $50. .00e, 900 bond issue in Paris.
 One of the few optimistic utterances which have come to the attention of Wall street recently was attributed to- day to a nigh ofI1cial of the Hartman lines to the effect that the outlook for gross earnings of the roads for lne re- inainder of the calendar year was very promising and that there were pros poets of a genuine improvement of general business conditions in the west.
 A compilation of February railroad returns showed a decrease of 13.44 per cent. in the average of net earnings. Gross earnings of fifteen railroads for March reveal a slight increase.
 One of the most active stocks, in the list was United States Rubber, in which speculation has been active for some time. in anticipation of possible resumption of dividends on the com mon shares. The shares advanced two points today and when it was learned that the directors had decided against . dividend payment broke three points.
 The bond market was steady. Total sales, par value $2,954.O00. United States bonds unchanged on call.

M'LEAN SUBSTITUTES

Sam Anderson, With Hands injured From Previous Bout, Was in No Condition to Appear.
Especial to The Bulletin. !

Willimantfc, April 6The athletic card put on by the .Windham Athletic club of Wi1limantic in the. clubs rooms Wednesday evening was rather disap- pointing to the somewhat small but faithful crowd present The prelini- nar1es were, however, unusually good. The first was a wrestling match be- tween Young Bullock of Conantvi1le and Young sLisy of this city Bullock weighed in at 110 s1-2 pounds, but the local lad was too much for the kid from the suburb of Mansfield, the match going to Young Lisy in straight falls, the first on a full nelson in two minutes and the second on a hammer lock in minutes.
 For the second preliminary, Piko Barber of this city and Kid Bullock of Conantvi1le, an older and heavier brother of the young aspirant, who was defeated in the first match, were put on. This was a good exhibition and pleased the crowd while it last ed Piko Barber obtained the first fall in Il minutes on body scissors. They second and the match also went to him in less than two minutes on a wheelbarrOw dip. Frank Mclean was referee and L. N. Dondero was timekeeper.
 Sam Anderson and Copa De Orc were slated for the main event of the evening, 9 six-round boxing bout, that only went a single round as Ander- son was in no condition to use his hands. it was announced, as a result

About nine or ten c&ndi- 2 dates we're on hand and n70re are to follow, as practice win he kept up ev- cry day now, giving Coach AultnAn and Capt. Jimmy Murray plenty of work to round the nine into playing form.
 TWO sides were made up Thursday witha number os local fellows, but no score was kept on the result Of the practice bout. TT
 There is fair percentage of last years team back, hut t1are are sev- eral important places to be hlled. Cap thin Murray will without. doubt be on his old spot at third and Fletcher will hold down second, where Ina was last season. If COnnOrs remains in school he is practically certainty for first, butsif he does not, it looks like a dim brother of Captain Murray who showed well at short on Thursday and Rudge Smith also did well on picking them up in the short fisld.
 In the 0utfeld Jay Ricketts is gone, but there is a new man named BersOn who shows we'll Charles Groker IS on hand again to pitch and with the ex- perience of one league season behind him has an advantage over the other candidates for the box. Ted Morrall is southpaw who shows speed but has had little experience and will have a chance to show what he can do.
 One incentive that will make a place on the team attractive is the prospect of a trip to Midd1etown on May 12th to play the Wesleyan fresh men, if permission from the Academy faculty can be obtained: This will work in with the Blackha1l game on the 18th and make something new for the Academy schedule, as the team would stay over night at Wes1eyan and 70 on to Blackhal1 the next day.
 Last season the boys were bothered by scarcity of bats. the number hav- ing dwindled to four, sbut this is to be repaired this year. as Manager Walsh has purchased 96 new ones from which each fellow will be allowed to select his two favorites. Opposing pitchers take notice that the N. F. A. team is traveling with heavy artillery equip ment this year.

of severe injuries sustained in a wrestling match last week. Anderson was all bandaged up and certainly did not appear to be in the pink of con- dition. Frank Mclean, therefore, went on for a three-found exhibition with iCopa De Gro to somewhat appease the demands of the crowd, that was a sadly disappointed one. Frank mixed it up in good shape with De Orc and the audience applauded and had con- siderable sport after all.
 ItsWas announced that Buck F'a1vey of New London desired a boxing bout formerly of Baltic and Occum, and a match will probably be arranged. It was also stated that in all probability the match for next Wednesday, eve ming before the club would be between Homer Monty and Young Gotch, for merly. of Willimantfc. This should be a pretty go as both men are evenly matched as to weight and strength

HERRERA. THE MEXICAN,
 MOST TERRIFIC PUNcHER. Battling Nelson Gives Him Credit Knockout in Either Hand.

Battling Nelson, in talking over his
 fights recently, said that Herrera had
 the hardest punch of any man he ever
 met in the ring. Look over my rec hit-Spider Welch, Martin Canole, Ed die Hanlon, Young Corbett, Terry Mo Govern, Joe Cans, Dick Hyland, Au- relic Herrera, Ad Wolgast and Owen Moran. But of all this list of knock
 out artists the hardest puncner and
 most vicious fighter was the Mexican
 person, Herrera.
 Herrera was a peculiar type He would come at you all covered up Both hand would be leaning against his own jaws and his elbows would De protecting his stomach. When he was right on top of you and you were try ing to pick out a spot on which to land your own punch he would shoot out both hands and if either landed it was arithmetic for the referee.
 Martin Canole was the best left handed puncher that ever lived. He landed his left on my stomach early in our fight, and I actually squealed from pain for the next two rounds. CanOie never knew how close he was to beat ing me. Had l1e kept after me he might have won the fight
 Cans never hurt me to any extent. His punches were not of a hurting kind. They were the snappy, short punch Of the knockout fighter Men who have been knocked out by him say his blows simply rocked a person to sleep and did not leave any bad after effects Cans was the most mer- cifu1 of all fighters and one of the fin- est gentlemen of the ring.
 "Wolgast cannot punch, but is very face. His combined blows ultimately have the effect of a Knockout, and he has wonderful stamina himself Moran is real puncher and a great fighter, as well as q remarkable fine little fel- low.
