According to Director Kienne

NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-Mr. Vienne.
director OF the Society for the Propa-
CATION OF English Boxing in France.
explains his reasons for proclaiming
the coming Langford-Joe Jeanette
bout In Paris on December 30 as a
worlds championship contest as fol
lows:
People say 70 me: II worlds
boxing championship is organized be-
tween qualified men. why is the win
ner OF the title not entitled 10 hold
II forever" reply. not in words. but
with facts. clear and distinct, and
then ask the public to Judge. The
title held by Jack johnson is declared
vacant because It Is not admissible in
sport Tor man to leg!timately hold
all his life, or at least as long as he
pieases, a title which he obstinately
refuses TO defend against qualified
aspirants. Nobody can contest this
principle. Now. | have repeatedly OF.

WEEKLY CorroN REVIEW.

New Orleans La Dec. 6.-This has been
4 dull week IN the cotton market Irad-
ing has been light and fluctuations mar
row Little desire was shown by either
uuence because of the important pending
bureau reports. Much liquidation was &C
campIi she'd by both accounts
The net result of the week 5 trading In
futures was i decline OF ] point to an ad-
vance Of points. The higher prices were
Saturday. At the highest trading months
were - to "A points over last weeks close
at the lowest they were to points under.
The range was 81 to IS points.
Expectations Of the trade. as whole,
were more for bullish than for bearish re-
covering Bulls took their advantage and
toward the end of the week the narrow
market was somewhat over bought. A
selling wave on Friday was partly the re-
suit OF this state Of affairs. 1t was gen
orally conceded on the week end that the
market held only a small interest, for this
time of the year, either way.
The statistics of the week were inter
eSting because Of the way mill -takings held
up and because for the first time in long
period. the visible supply sank below the
comparisons Of the last two years, the fig
ures being 4,222 ,575 bales against 4.S11,-
934 a year ago and 4 ,23O, 743 two years ago
against 5O4 900 this week last year. and
443, 900 this week two years ago. In the
spot department prices gained three six
teenths Of a cent, middling closing a,
13 3-16 against I3c last week and 12s
| this week last year. Sales on the spot
amounted to 1884 bales against 1924 last
| week and 4,678 this week last year. Sales
| to arrive amounted to 14,702 bales against
| 1888 last week and 1890 this week last
year.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

New York, Dec. 6.--Increased strength
and activity this week, despite Un favorable
factors, demonstrated the liquidated con
ditions Of the stock market. Tension pre-
vailed in the money market with year-end
settlements still to come, but easing Of
money is expected in January. Strict lin
itation Of capital issues promised an accu-
mutation which may be expected to stim-
ulate investment demand
indefinite postpOnement Of the New
French loan, owing to the French minis
terial crisis, obscures the prospect for un-
locking capital October railroad earnings
show progressive decline In net and en-
phasize that factor in credit impairment.
but strengthen the railroads argument for
higher freights. Steel trade authorities ex-
press hOpefulneSs that contraction in busi-
ness which is still in progress, Is nea,
an end. Reports of increases in the num-
Der Of unemployed accompany the busi-
ness contraction.
Antitrust references in the Presidents
message were less drastic than expected in
some quarters. Filing Of new Government
suits weakened the stocks involved but
were without general influence. The sus-
tanned volume of exports continues to pile
up banking credits.
Mexican news lessened fears of yio-
lent rupture in relations with that coun-
try.

new YORK. corToN GOODS MARkEr

New York, Dec. 6-C;eneral cotton goods
markets have been quiet and steady and
rather more quiet than is usual in the ex-
port division. On the last days Of the
week there was considerable activity In
narrow print cloths, sales In the local mar
ket reaching 100000 pieces on Thursday
Wide cloths were steady at the close Of
the week and converters are disposed to
supply their requirements for the first
quarter of the year.
/. Goods on order are being taken in
steadily and agents are not accommodating
normal supplies because Of the we'll sold
proportion Of the mills and restricted pro
ductfOn consequent upon a shortage OF
labor Prices have held steady on spot
goods and jobbers are not placing con
tracts. The menace Of a strike at FAN
River was removed by the refusal Of oper-
atives to press for the wage advance re-
fused by manufacturers. Colored cottons
OF the heavier descriptions are not accu-
mulatins. There is still less than the nor
but repeat orders are frequent. il small
import orders are as light in volume as
those placed on domestic goods

No Aggressive Effort to Force

New York. Dec 6-Indications OF a steady
absorption of the high grade stocks con :
tinued in evidence today. offerings at con :
cessions were accepted readily, but no ag
gressive effort VA, made to force up the
list. 1t was the san quiet, gradual Duy
ing which has held the market steady re-
Gently in the face OF unfavoraOie IN
fiuences.
The only movements OF consequence IN
Stocks occurred shortly after the open
ing. Small declines in some favorites stlm,
ulated buying and the list was soon well
above yesterdays close. Then reces-
sion cancelled gains and the market there
after barely moved.
Although poor prospects for the Dank
statement had aroused some apprehenS sion.
the showing proved exceptionally strong
The cash loss was only $3OUoOO. Inc
most striking change was a contraction IN
actual loans Of SOL $4,000, which showed
the extent to which the banks had gone
to correct the position disclosed last week
and fully explained the tightness OF the
money market this week Reserve require

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Dec 6-It was a
typical week end session in the cotton
market today with evening up chiefly in
evidence. There was little to encourage
fresh business and both sides were more
willing to liquidate than usual because OF
Mondays Census Bureau report. The
opening was steady, points down to
point MP. Cables were better than due
and weather news was unfavorable but
against these was rather heavy liquidation
from the long side. Around the call prices
went to points under yesterdays close.
Sellers OF yesterday tried to take profits at
this level and put prices up on them,
selves. Scalping longs bought little and
the market gradually worked up to
points net advance. Here the long side
turned profit taker and the market fell OF
to yesterdays last figures. Late in the
morning there little doing. The close
was steady at net rise of 3 to ) points
Much gossip was circulated concerning

averaged around 1900, 600 bales.
