Fast Fight Is Expected From the Blacks
BY JAY DAVIDSON.

Os ANGELES Calf. oct. 14-Sam
Langford is going to be a headliner
4 out at Vernon next month when he
tackles the slow freight Harry Wills
over the derby route. and all the fans are
glad 20 know that sam is coming back He
Is one negro who always Is welcomed here
because he not only Is one Of the classiest
scrappers in the game, but he attends to his
own business with 4 charm that spells popu-
larity in the spelling sam probably Is the
greatest fighter Of his weight and inches
in the world. What he wouldn't do TO Jack
johnson in a derby route mill would be
unworthy OF mention
Ordinarily the fans would not care a
whole lot about an alI-negro fight but II is
different with Langford- Il was the same

among the white fans for the same reason

enthusiasm IN the past, but he has been

didn't cost their owners much money. Most

Cobb Cost Only 500.
The Detroit Tigers won three pennants,
and not one Of the men cost the owners
much over $1,000. Ty Cobb cost S7OO-and

''skinning' the Detroit folks when he turned
the trick The Pirates weren't a very eN-

The Giants probably cost more money
than any other team that has won the
pennanr during the last SIX or eight years
NarQuard cost $1,000 That was the high

other Giants cost sums ranging between
$1,000 and $1,000
Red SoU very much money to assemble their

the smaller leagues at a slight cost

to be;

Dry Goods Trade,

Marshall Field & Co. in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say: In
view of the failure OF large Eastern
dry goods house this week. II is timely
to state that conditions in the dry goods
trade generally are Fundamentally sound.
Prices have ruled strong for the past
six months. with an upward tendency
at the present time, aud retail selling
Throughout, the country has continued
very close to normal
stocks OF merchandise are conserva-
lively low. and as buying has been in
small quantities as needed (Which Is the
most profitable way of operating), II Is
expected that the inventories now being
taken covering the first half of the year
will show satisfactory profits for mer-
chants In all sections. Az buyers have
not anticipated their fall requirements to
any great extent. heavy demands will
undoubtedly be made on wholesalers who
have the stocks to deliver during the
coming months. Road sales for the pa 81
week show gain over those of the cor
responding month II year ago and collec-
tions are better than they have been for
the last few weeks"

loss TO the railroads Of s11, 200, 900 a year
In addition to the loss they have already

possible of determination except by tech

Judge of that fact than the Joint Com
gresslonal committee soon TO submit its
report to Congress. Congressman Moon
states that the Introduction OF his hill
was delayed as long as possible and that
the policy OF delay has been practised
by the railroads for sixteen years. The
fact Is that the railroads have been seek
ing by every proper means during the
past twenty years TO obtain from Con-
gress fair treatment on this subject. The
railway companies for the last eighteen
months have been urging the Post

them adequately for carrying the in
creased burden OF the parcel post"

A specinc instance OF the tenacity with

extraordinary combination OF ability and

evident that tho main reason for their

ferred rather than passed. In less strik-

THE COPPER MARKET.
No Improvement in Recent Unsettled
Condition.

Tho past week in the copper metal
market witnessed no Improvement from
the unsettled condition which has pre-
vailed for q month or so. and prices con-
tinued to decline. A new low quotation
on the present downward movement was
made when several large producers Of
fered copper at 18H cents a pound in
continued efforts to locate a buying level.
Consumers, however. remained indiffer-
ent, and little or no new business followed
the price reduction. Demand continued
extremely light. and toward the close Of
tho week producers stated that there
was not even an inquiry for the metal
A brief but interesting analysis OF
the situation Is contained In the mail
advices OF Henry II. Merton a Co. OF
London, just at hand. The firm said:
THE consumption OF copper In Europe
remains at a very satisfactory rate, but
manufacturers persist In their purchasing
policy, which IL of hand to mouth char
scter and which Is encouraged by tho
keen competition among the sellers who
are trying to find a more substantial
outlet of their product by underwriting
each other. II Is hardly to he expected
that this method Will prove effective
so Ions as an incentive for a general
buying movement Is lacking Such in
centive can only come either from an i'm
provement in sentiment or from interfer-
ence with the present normal production
OF copper"

greater than for the corresponding period
OF May. Steel mills are now operating
at about 65 per cent. of capacity, against
go per cent. n month ago
II Is questioned whether the June buy
Ing movement will be prolonged into July,
most manufacturers believing that a fall
Ing on In orders will take place shortly.
On account OF the failure OF tho Anal
gamated association Of iron. steel and tin
plate workers and the manufacturers TO
come to an agreement at their conference
held In Atlantic City last week It is ex-
pected that the eighteen plants making
iron and steel sheets and tin plate will
close July ].
The present scale OF wages will be
ended June 80. and II Is customary for
both sides to make n new scale al
