FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FEVERISH
Affected by Rurors Bearing Upon the
international Situation.

New York, April THE financial
district was alive today with rumorS
bearing upon the international situa-
ton, more especially the status of re-
lations between Washington and Ber-
lin. These rumors were OF such Cir
cumstantial and detailed character as
to cause hurried selling of stocks, the
general list, with a few noteworthy
expectations, averaging losses of to
3 points.
Some speciaItics, especially those
which led the recent rise, were lower
at their minimums by 3 to 6 points.
These recessions were partly retrieved
in the last hour when short covering,
coupled with supporting orders, result
ed in rallies Of fractions to a full
point. The undertone was feverish
and heavy at the active close. Total
sales amounted to $4,000 shares.
OF this turnover a very large pro-
portion was again contributed by the
Mercantile Marines, Crucible Steel,
United States Industrial Alcohol Mex
lean Petroleum, American Zinc, Bald
win Locomotive, American Locomotive
and Goodrich. United States Smelt-
ing made a new high record at 73 IA
and zinc also scored new maximum
at 80 is.
United States Steel Jared better on
same class, yielding only a point to
81 IA Bethlehem Steel made an ex-
IRENE decline of 20 to 465 and rallied
to 479. Motor shares, with Industrial
Alcohol and the Petroleums proved
most susceptible to pressure.
Prominent rails were lower by a
point for New York Central, Canadian
Pacific. Union and Southern Pacifics,
New Haven and Western Maryland,
while Reading and Norfolk and West
ern were slightly heavy. The govern
ment'S winter wheat report, showing
a rather low average as against the
previous estimate, was not helpful to
the grain carriers. A further decline
in the rates of exchange on Paris, de-
mand bills falling to COL 1-2 was
again the foremost feature of the in
ternational credit markets, the break
being concurrent with reports of an
other successful German move in the
Nerdun campaign.
Bonds were heavy, but the market
for those securities was more contract
ed than usual. Total sales, (par
valuel aggregated $4,135,n00.
United States bonds were unchang-
ed on call.

FULTON A WORTHY FOE.
To Meet Jess Willard Says Tom Jones
-Loomes Up Better Than Moran.

In all probability Fred Fulton will
be Jess Wizards next opponent over
the 20 or 45 rounds trial for the worlds
championship; Moran was licked be-
fore he put up mis- hands: there isn't a
man in the world who can relieve Jess
of his title; Moran is game. but Full
ton looms up as the better of the TWO
as an opponent for Jess.
Jones Can't Talk.
Jones is still hoarse from the thir-
teen odd speeches he made three
weeks ago on the stages Of IS many
theatres. when Jess Willard consented
to assist the worthy Home
Fund. Tom worked like a demon
while Jess was in town conditioning
for his nights fray. Between labor
ing for the Willard cause, Tom gave
the newspaper fellows beefsteaE
party and the proprietor promptly re-
fused Toms check for same.
The Dudgy manager of three worlds
champions was satisfied yesterday
that the public got its moneys worth
at the Willard Moran scrap. Jones
said ne ought to know because he
enjoyed it, and the greatest fun he
had was dropping few thousand dol
lars because Jess hurt his hand in
the third round and was unable to
put Moran away"
To hear Jones tell it. Moran didn't
have a ghost of a chance against the
big fellow. And there were several
Oldtime fans in Curley's Office at the
time who readily agreed with Tom.
There was old Bob Vernon. VINO
dropped $500 or more because Jess
failed to register n kayo. Bob has
been running in hard luck the last
couple of years, his wine supply be-
ing held up in Paris because of the
war and picking fight winners, but
failing to string along on the win
proposition alone.
