FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STEADY.
With Moderate Revival of Activity
 in War Industriais.

New York, April 23.-Higher prices for some of the less prominent cop pers, together with moderate revival of activity in war industrials and
 equipments imparted a semblance of
 steadiness to today's stock market,
 but the undertone was most irregular
 Trading was On a reduced scale, with
 frequent pauses.
 Pressure was again directed against
 the speculative favorites, but with
 out much effect. Some of the lower
 grade railways whose financial posi-
 ton is admittedly precarious regis
 tered decidedly lower prices. Motors, tobaccos, petroleums and sundry other
 specialties declined two to eight points.
 As whole, the session was void of significance, except for the abatement of public inquiry. Local fractions were alternately lifted and depressed on rumors of developments in con- nection with Interborough Metropoli- tan.
 Pursuant to it's recent custom the list descended to lowest prices in the final hour. some of the standard in vestment issues yielding a point or more. Unlike similar movements of the current week, however. the decline
 was gradual, with no appreciable ac- celeration from the short interest. International shates were lower in London and later sales for that center,
 as well as Paris and Amsterdam were
 made in this market. Holland, which
 holds large amounts of American rail. l road securities of the minor class, was said to have liquidated some of these issues in turn buying coppers. Large copper producers again ad- vanced the price of their commodity, IS IA cents being quoted for pros pective heavy consignments to Eng land. There were rumors of contracts
 for structural steel and iron for ship
 ment for foreign points, but these lacked confirmation. Signs of continued inprovement in transportation conditions were seen in the earnings of Southern Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio for March. The former made net gain of $341, ,000
 and the latter $277,000. Bank clearings
 denoted an expansion of mercantile ! business at leading points. Forecasts 1 indicate material gain in local re- | serves. on heavy receipts from the in terior.
 Total o sales of stocks amounted to 634, 1000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular, minor rail- l way issues falling in sympathy with the movement in shares. Total sales (par value) were $4,76O,000. U. s. bonds were unchanged on call

zBARRY CARRIED OFF TEMPTATION
University of Pennsylvania Athletes Won One of Chief Events Penn. Carnival-Yae Captured Distance Med- ley Race-Bery Champion at Javelin Throwing.

Philadelphia, April 23.-Howard Barry, of the University of Pennsyl- vania today carried off the pentath1on, one of the principal events in the opening days carnival of Pennsy1va- nias relay races and field sports. The pentathlon, which Is comprised of the broad jump, javelin and discus throw and the 200 and 1500 metre races. was on the programme for the first time in the twenty -one years that Penn sy1vania has held the carnival and it is expected tosrepresent the all-around college athletic championship of the United States.
 Yale, after a game struggle, carried off the distance medley relay race for the college championship, beating out won the American title in the sprint medley race from Chicago, the only other entpant in this event. Berry captured the javelin throw and the 1900 metre race, and was sec- ond in the discus throw and 200 me- broad jump. Worthington was first in the broad jump and 20 metre race: second in the 1900 metre run and fifth and sixth respectively in the dis GUS and javelin throw.
 The distance medley race was hot ers-Yale, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Le- high and Princeton-and they finished in the order named.
 There was some disappointment when only Chicago and Pennsylvania toed the mark in the sprint medley, the only other universities saving their runners for tomorrow's cham pionships. Chicago led at the end of the first two relays; then Lippicott and Meredith, the Olympic champions, in turn took up the running for Penn sylvania and they made a runaway race of it.
 One of the best performances of the day was the time made by Ferguson of Pennsylvania in the quarter mile hurdle race He won the event in 55 seconds, only two-ffths of a. second slower than the worlds record made by H. l.. Hillman of the New York A. c. in 1904.
 There were 26 events on the days programme, many of them for school and colleges in the metropolitan dis trict of Philadelphia.

Ire few and of no great importance

are few and of DO great importance. Coffey may never become as great ring general as Fftzsimmons, Choyn- ski and Mccoy of Horton law days. These men learned to fight when twenty round battles were the thing. But today conditions are changed. To box ten rounds requires less head work and naturally the present set of ringmen lack something of the polish that distinguished the old line of heavies.
 Coffey, like the rest of the present set, depends altogether too much on chance. He has not learned to feint his opponent into leaving the desired opening and at the same time keep in position to take full advantage. such quick finishers as Fitzsimmons ned for the knockout blow long be- fore they were ready to deliver, and when they were ready their schemce went through like a well rehearsed stage act They left nothing to chance.
 If Coffey ever learns to fight with some definite idea in view instead of slamming away until he happens to land one on a vital spot he may be- come as proficient as any of the old time ring heroes. In other respects he does well enough. Physically he Is match for any man in the ring today, with the exception of Willard. There is power enough in his broad back and well muscled arms to bring down even that giant, if prop erly applied.
 Among Coffey's minor faults most easily corrected with a little coach Ing is tendency to swing wide with his right. Whenever he is stung bad ly he cannot resist the temptation to arch them over, and in so doing leaves
 
 apparent when he has his made ready TOT the Knockout. He then loses control of himself and in his anxiety to end matters swings wide of the mark. This was very evident in his bout with Carl Morris recently In that affair Coffey boxed very well until he happened to stagger his big opponent. But the moment Morris showed that he was hurt Coffey lost his head and began swinging a foot short, and although Morris was too grogy to realize fully what was going on Coffey was less accurate than when his opponent was unhurt and on the alert It is at such moments that class or lack of it most apparent. To keep cool when victory is in sight novice has to learn.
 novice ha to learn.
 Coffey is not forced to depend on a wide swing to get results. He hits well from any angle. Unlike his rival, Al Reich, he puts a lot of force be- hind his straight lefts, although he shares with Reich the mistake of leading before he has trapped his op- ponent into stepping into the blow. For the rest, Coffey has nimble pair Of legs, good eye for distance, plen- ty of speed and he recuperates rapid ly from fatigue and also when dazed by blow
 What Coffey needs most is coaching along the right lines, and since Joe Jeanette has taken charge of his training he is in a fair way to get what he needs in the way of advice Headwork is Jeanette's chief stock in trade, and if he can impart his knowJ- edge to his pupil the Irish may soon be able to boast of a heavyweight champion.

JIM cOFFEY ON WAY
 TO HEAVYWEIGHT GROWN
Dublin Giant Looks Like a Good
 Representative of His Glass.


 Now that the white hopes no longer are known by that dubious term, but have become "challengers flor the title," perhaps more patience will be shown them. During Jack Johnsons regime boxing followers had little sympathy to waste on the various budding hopes. The demand for Johnson's elimination was so great that each candidate for titular honors was quickly turned down after his first defeat.
 Thereafter he was made the butt of the tokesters, who never stopped to think that 1t takes years of practice to turn out a perfect fighting machine. However, in the future. there will be no reason for showing impatience with the rising crop of ringsters from whom the next champion Is to come.
 This new point of view regarding the heavyweight class has become evil dent all over the country since Will lards victory at Havana One in stance of it is the general interest now being shown in Jim Coffey and Al Reich all through the west, although neither man has been seen in action in that section of the country. It is assumed that Winard's title will event. ually fall to one of the two New York ers,- although the time of the transfer may be somewhat distant
 Coffey in particular is expected to develop into a. fighting man of the first class. The big Irish youth has many strong points while his faults

"BIG ONES" DECLARE NO
 PEACE OFFERINGS PENDING.
Baseball Leaders Give Out Emphatic Statements-Magnat in Chicago.

Chicago, April 23-Emphatic state ments that no peace negotiations were going on were made today by both President Gilmore of the Federal league and President Johnson of the American, but no explanation for the gathering here of the big men of base ball was VouchSafed.
 Among the leaders of the game ex- pected here tomorrow is President Tener of the National league. The Federal league magnates who, accord ing to information gained from sourc- es close to them, will meet to talk the ending of the war are William A. Robinson of Buffalo and Robert B. Ward of Brooklyn, while Philip Ball of St. Louis and his attorney admitted that they had been in conference with President Johnson yesterday and to- day. The American league head de- clared that his meeting with MT. Ball the third in three weeks-had noth- ing to do with peace in the baseball world
 There are no peace negotiations pending that I know of," President Gilmore said. we are willing at any time to accept on terms fair to every body concerned, but we are not seek ing it. We are willing to go on as we are going"
 Stories concerning the terms of peace discussed were credited to Fed eral League sources, say they include many of the arrangements which were planned when peace was first talked of last fall. Merger of several teams, the elimination of one club in St. Louis and one in Chicago and perhaps abandonment of the field as a sepa- rate organization by the Federals, are included, it is said.
