FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS LISTLESS.
Leading Stocks Rose and Fell Within
Fractional Limits.

New York, March 23.-During the
greater part of today's listless session,
leading stocks rose and fell within
fractional limits, except in the fore
noon, when an abrupt decline in the
Mexican group, chiefly petroleums,
caused recessions of one TO five points.
Trading lost none of its familiar pro-
fessional tone, commission houses re-
porting a dearth of outside interest
and dealings were on an increasing
scale of narrowness.

usual, until towards the close, when
an inquiry for Reading, which made
an extreme gain of l IL, awakened in

one was disposed of, and hundreds of
would-be purchasers were turned
away. There were many disgruntled
and disappointed men in line who
could not reach the window before the
sale was over. and some of them COM
planned that the spectators had been
favored. The show corporation which
is conducting the bout announced that
any intimation of favoritism in the
sale of tickets was preposterous. The
management had made every effort to
prevent spectators from obtaining a
large number of tickets, it was said,
by refusing to sell more than two to
any one person.
Quarters for Moving Picture Machines.
There was some difficulty in provid-
ing suitable accommodations in the
garden for moving picture machines.
1t was finally decided to place them
on q platform which will be suspended
from the second balcony in such a way
as not to interfere with the view of
the ring by persons in the seats I'm
derneath.
Doubt About Rules.
Some doubt appears to exist in the
camps of both Willard and Moran re-
garding the rules under which the bout
will be fought. There has been con-
siderable talk about hitting in the
clinches and in the breakaway.
A study of the contracts which the
principals signed with Promoter Rick
ard shows clearly, however, that the
bout is to be conducted under the rules
and regulations of the New York state
athletic commission.
This code differs widely from the
Marquis of Queensberry rules, which
are the standard of both boxing and
prize ring fighting the world around
The Queensberry rules do not restrain
n boxer from punching an opponent a
any time during ClinCh and il is un.
derstood that the principals must pro,

! ClinChes and in the breal0aways.
The rules of the New York STATE
athletic commission, on the other hand

Carnival a Success

The carnival held by the Charity
Club in Forest Park building was a
huge success, in point OF enjoyment
and financially. About $500 were
taken in. this being rather a surprise
as the prices charged for each attrac-
ton was so small. The club wish to
thank those in charge OF the Music,
Manual Training. and Domestic
Science departments for their kindly
assistance. The interest taken by the
High School students was an encour-
agement during the preparations and a
substantial help through the evening
itself as was also that of Sam Ham
and Spikes" Probably nothing but
the annual Fourth OF July celebration
has equalled this affair in the amount
OF pleasure II gave the children who
attended The side shows under the
able charge OF Miss Green added the
touch OF mystery which is indispens-
able TO Riddles enjoyment.
The law on compulsory education
does not provide for cases in which in
sufficient clothing is the excuse for
attendance at school For this
end the Charity Club was organized
among the eighth grade girls OF last
year, that shoes and stockings might
be furnished those who were in abso-
lutte need Of them. AT the beginning of
the present school year about 500 re-
NAMED in the clubs treasury. This
amount has been used and debt of
IS. 90 contracted The members of the
club now Freshmen in High School,
took this means of reimbursing their
treasury, and are justifably proud at
it's success. The demands upon charity
have been considerably lighter this
year. than last, and il is thought that
the balance will carry them safely
through the year.
