MARKET LIFELESS.
Early Depression and Rally Followed
by Period Of Dizziness.

New York Jan. 23.-Stocks were
lower for time after the opening to-
day. but the depression was of short
duration in spite Of efforts to under
mine the market Speculative inter
est waned after the list rallied from
its initial heaviness and the market
was lifeless NEST of the day. AS the
session was drawing to a close, the
bears in q quick drive succeeded in
shading prices, but the days move
ment as whole was narrow, and net
changes among the active issues were
inconsequentiaL
Pressure on the market at the out
set was a reflection of unfavorable
developments over night. They con
cerned United States Steel chiefly and
several blocks of the stock were
thrown on the market in the fiji st few
minutes, but the price declined only
fractionally Chief emphasis was laid
upon the report of the corporation
commissioner, advocating segregation
from the steel corporation of its rail-
road properties. This point lost some
of it's force as a bear argument when
it was recalled that such a conclus-
ion was indicated in the part of the
commissioners report previously made
known. At that time it was argued
that the corporation was able to main
tain a virtual monopoly by reason OF
its control of ore lands and facilities
for the transportation Of ore. The i'll
ing with the attorney general al
Washington Of a. petition for dtssolu-
ton Of the American Telephone ano
Telegraph company gave traders fol-
the short side Of the market more am
munltion, but this move affected only
the stocks of the telegraph and tele-
phone companies.
The ease with which the market re-
covered from its early depression. not
withstanding the effort to bring In
politics once more as a REFRESHING
Influence, indicated that political con-
sideratlons were receiving little con-
sideratiOn at present. More signifi-
canoe is attached to monetary anC
trade conditions and less to politics
although it is recognized that the ap-
proach of presidential campaign is
in itself a deterrent force.
The most active Of the leading stocks
was Reading, which more than made
up its dividend of 1 IL, which wa!
marked off the price today. The quo
! tation was advanced two points in thu
| first hour. although 1t subsequently
lost a large part Of the gain. Sons

sues was narrow. The widest move

There was further buying today o

lsnecial TO The BulIetin.l


An orderly and enthusiastic crowd Of
nearly 400 men. including many from
surrounding towns, had & fine evening
of sport, in the form Of three boxing
matches given under the auspices of
the Windham A. c.. Tuesday evening,
at Willimantic
The preliminary. between Mutt and
Jeff, two local amateurs, three rounds,
was on a par with Austin S. stones
latest side show, and furnished
amusement for the fans.
For the semi-final scheduled for SIX
rounds, Young Peters of Boston and
Momer Monty of Norwich were seen,
and the first three rounds were fact
and pretty evenin, although the former
showed he had the goods even though
he was some Il pounds the lighter.
The fourth round was fast and eXcit-
ing, and the Beaneater clearly demon
strated his superiority The bout was
stopped before the close of the round
on account of MOnty's condition.
The announcement was made that
on Feb. Morris LeMoyne of Webster
and Block Harris Of Willimant!c would
provide the main bout.
The main go of ten rounds, between
Joe Uvanni Of Troy, n. Y, and Joe
Garry of Boston, was one of the best
ever put on at the club, and became
more fast and exciting with each round.
| The first four rounds were even, but
in the fifth the New Yorker handed
his opponent some hard, telling upper
cuts. The sixth was clearly UVannfs,
and the next two were his by shade.
The ninth was about even, with both
flghting hard. The tenth round was
of the whirlwind variety, both mixing
it up in good shape, with Uvanni hav-
ing the advantage The bout was clean
and satisfactory TO the audience.
Monty challenged Peters to a ten
round go any time and place, and the
latters manager accepted.
Frank MacLean was referee and
Wade L. Webster time keeper and an
Eouncer.

GIBBONS HAMMERED DENNING
IN FINAL ROUNDS.
But Crowd Gives New Yorker the De-
cision on Points.

New York. Jan. 23-Jack Denning
of this city and Mike Gibbons of ST.
Paul fought ten rounds at the Fair
mont Athletic club tonight and the
consensus of opinion was that Den
ming won on points.
Up to the seventh round Gibbons
seemed unable to do anything, but
showed to far better advantage in the
last four sessions.
The New Yorker used straight left
fab to the face which the westerner
seemed unable to keep away from until
the bout was more than half over In
the seventh round, however, Gibbons
cut loose. He landed hard lefts and
rights to the head with frequency and
at the bell had Denning tired from the
hammering.
Gibbons pursued similar tactics In
the eighth with even more success.
The bell found the New Yorker bleed
ing from the mouth and nose and
wobbly on his feet
The tenth was q fast and furious
round in which both men took cOnsid-
cradle punishment in an endeavor to
land a knockout.
