Boston. April s.--NationaI amateur boxing championships were decided to- night in seven classes in the annual title tournament held under the 3u- spices of the B. A. A.
 Thomas L. Began of Boston, the only one of last years national champions to appear, successfully defended his title in the 115 pound class, winning a fast bout with George H. Pritchard ot Boston,
 Tho heavyweight class had been looked to as likely to provide a new white hope but competition. sizzled. Only two 5ontenders for the title ap- peared and John Silver1o of Beverly, New England champion, had no trouble disposing of Thomas Kelly of Boston Tn one round:
 Arthur Sheridan, metropolitan 158- pound champion, who was the only New York boxer to come through to the finals, won from E, A.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Market Develops Strength and Breadth
 After Weak Opening.

New York, April s.-After an early period of backing and filling in which prices moved in confusing fashion, to- days stock market finally grew strong and broad, with a total of transactions approaching one million shares. The opening was a mixture of slight gains and declines, the latter predominating. Local sentiment again inclined tO bearishness, thls feeling showing itself in attacks upon certain issues whose recent gains have been accompanied by some adverse comment.
 The professional element appeared to see little ground for encouragement in the anthracite situation, despite the fact that the operators had conveyed lntlmatiOnS of an early conclusion of the differences with the miners. There was also some disposition to await the publication of the copper figures for March and the government report on the state of winter wheat and rye. The copper figures were something of a disappointment, but far from having an unfayorable effect. Amalgamated Copper and allied shares went to bet ter prices after they became known. The government crop figures were not issued until the close of the market.
 In the railway group the strength of the coal shares as well as the southern transportation lines was the feature. Louisville and Nashville gained 5 1-4 points on what looked like accumula- ton. The buying served to call re- neWed attention to an old rurnor of g. possible increase of the dividend, but in all probability it was based on more legitimate reasons, such as the road's excellent earnings and the cotton crop prospects. These same conditions aD- ply with more or less force to all the railroads in the southern and south western territories. Union Pacific was again absorbed at prices above it's re- cent high, the stock displaying concur rent strength in London In the fn- dustTial and equipment stocks Ameri- cap Smelling enjoyed some revival of it's recent activity and over a score of less prominent issues gained from one to two points. while General Electric and International Harvester rose 2 I-4 points each. American Can common was an exception to the average run of stocks in its particular class, show - ing some pressure throughout the ses sion. Best prices were general in the last hour, but before the close further realizing resulted in the usual fraction al recessions, saving fin Reading and Amalgamated Copper.
 Can money did not get above 2 f-2 oeT cont. its lowest rate fin some days. Time loans also showed an easier ten dency, regardless of further drain to the interior.
 The bond market was irregular, with increased activity. Total sales, par value, amounted to s2,e11, GOO.
 United States fcurs coupon advanced 1-4 per cent. on call.
