FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A HEAVY TONE.
Due Largely to the Pending Panama
 Canal Legislation.

New York, Aug. 22.-Pending Pan anna canal legislation was the princi pal topic of discussion in stock circles today and was regarded as primarily responsible for the heavy tone of the stock market, especially the railroad division. Pacific and other roads whose destinies are more or less involved in the outcome of this measure were un- der steady pressure, which at times suggested liquidation.
 There were persistent rumors also affecting the anthracite coal shares and the likelihood of some decision adverse to those properties by the in terstate commerce commission. Read ing and Lehigh Valley were increasing ly weak and gossip attributed much of the selling to prominent out of town interests.
 The rest of the market seemed to have gone stale with a partial fiatten- ing out of the recent copper boom. Amalgamated Copper and allied shares were strong at the outset, but fell back easily in the course of the afternoon, under selling movement that em- braced all issues of speculative inn portance. Specialties were less prom inent. the only feature of interest be- ing American Tobacco, which suffered another large loss. Dealings wero much the largest of any session of the week, fact not without it's signif- canoe in view of the trend of prices.
 The only foreign feature was the maintenance of the 3 per cent dis count rate by the Bank of England in the face of higher private discounts, the 9O-day rate advancing to 3-4 per cent. The statement of the bank was without especial interest, showing only nominal changes from the preced- ing week

McMahon Brothers Take Action "Fol
 Betterment of Sport"

New York, Aug. 22.-The Jack John son-Joe Jeanette boxing match set for Sept 25 at the St. Nicholas A. c. was declared off this afternoon for the betterment of the sport by Jesse and Edward McMahon, the promoters of the bout. The McMahon brothers call ed off the match after a long confer ence behind closed doors with the state athletic commission.
 Commissioners O'Neil and Dixon de- nied that there was an coercion brought to bear by them to induce the McMahons to declare off the proposed bout.
 "The commission decided long ago. said O'Neil, that Jack Johnson would not be permitted to fight here. We believe now, as we did then, that the presence of Johnson in a ring contest in this state would be inimical to the best interests of boxing, the status of which has greatly improved under the Frawley law"
 Chicago, Aug. 22.-'That does not worry me-" said Jack Johnson tonight, when informed that his contest with Joe Jeannette, scheduled to be fought in New York Sept. 25. had been called off.
 That means that I won't fight | again. I simply wanted to fight Jean nette to show certain people that I wasn't all in as they claimed,7 as- serted the champion.

FIFTH ROUND IN
 SINGLES FINISHED
Eight Aspirants Still in Running for
 Tennis Title.

Newport, R. L, Aug. 22.-Eight as- pirants for the national lawn tennis championship in singles were left in the running when the fifth round of the all-comers' tournament was finished today. Four were from New York, three from Philadelphia and one from San Francisco. Some bets were made tonight at to that Maurice E. Me- Loughlin, the Pacific coast representa- tive, would win the championship against the field Mclaughlin will meet R. \. Williams of Philadelphia, the clay court title holder, on the championship court tomorrow. As the last contest between these players at Bay Ruidbe three weeks ago went through five sets before the Californ- ian won, the struggle is anticipated with much interest.
 The other three matches on the card tomorrow are between W. J. Clothier of Philadelphia and Raymond D. Lit tie of New York G. M. Church of New York and Karl H. Behr of New York, and Wallace F. Johnson of Philadel- phia and Watson M. Washburn of New York

league pennant, and now only four games separate the two clubs.
 Figures on the race show that Chi- cago will have a difficult task to de- feat the Giants for the flag, as New York Is not only in the lead but has most games to play. The Cubs have fl games left on the schedule. This includes one series with each club in the league and a second series with Boston, Brooklyn Pittsburg, Cincin- natl and St Louis. The Giants have 43 games left to play, including one series with each club in the league and second series with Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Boston and Phil adelphia. The Cubs have four post poned games to play, while the Giants have seven. If New York should lose total of 50 games, or r more, Chi cago would have to win 30 and could lose only II of it's remaining games to get the pennant. The final standing then would be: New York 104 games won and 90 lost; Chicago 1O5 won and 49 lost.
