possibility. Certain inducements, it
was learned yesterday, have been or
fered both men. Each. while not yet
aCquiesCinE, has agreed to give the
matter serious consideration.
A woTld-famOus promoter is behind
the scenes pulling the wires. hut II it
comes of il is a certainty that the
fighters will have to take a guarantee
that preClUdes any possibility of high
finance instead OF a battle.
The bout as planned would be hell

possible DeTpSey's chances of winning
by Knockout The bout. however
would determine for all time Demp-
sey's abilities as a boxer. for there
never lived a more adept boxer ana

STOCKS HEAVY,
PRICES DOWN
New Low Levels Made in
Utah Copper and Smelt-
er Issues.
by BROADAN WALL.


New York, Dec. Elm the last
hour today stocks recovered slight
ly following a rumor that the Money
Committee would pay some atten-
tion to the almost universal criti-
cism against restriction of loans and
would in few days modify the ar
bitrary ruling issued some weeks
ago.
During most of the day stocks
were heavy and new low levels for
the year were made in a few is
sues, notably, Utah Copper and
Smelters. The low price in the lat
ter was particularly noted because
of the recent attempt of a pool to
advance it, evidently the same pool
that later took up Southern Pacific
with equally unfortunate results,
In some investment issues there was
good buying.
New Low Record.
Liberty bonds made the usual daily
new low record just as everybody
expects them to do as long as the
Money Committee continues the
present ruling against loans.
These new low records in liberty
bonds are beginning to hurt the lit
tie people as well as the big ones.
They hurt the nation because the
chief reason for the low price is a
breach of faith which the New York
Money Committee has committed
with the public.
II is well to keep distinctly in
mind exactly what the breach of
good faith is in the matter of lib
erty bonds. During the campaign in
which the last issue was sold tn.
public was told that they were as
good as money and could be used
in the place of money for the pur-
chase OF other securities on margin.
The converse of that proposition
was that liberty bonds could be pur-
chased with equities standing to the
credit of customers of brokerage
houses. They were so bought in
large volume.
Hurt Business Generally.
By cutting of the credit of bro
kers the money committee forced
prices down in the stock market
and hurt business in general. The
result has been a wiping out OF
brokerage customers equities Ieav-
ing the liberty bonds standing in
many accounts as the best ones to
sell to get money.
The necessity of making large
loans for foreign account has made
it imperative that America have a
large bank. Negotiations are un-
derstood to be in progress looking
TO the combination of several OF the
New York institutions. Such re-
ports have been current at times
for the last fifteen years. but now
the matter is taken seriously,
1t is understood that the Chase.
Mechanics and Metals and the Bank
ers Trust company are involved in
one set of negotiations. There is
no official confirmation of this re-
port. Such a merger would mean
a bank with more than $50.0O0. 900
capital and with deposits of ST.
1875. 900, 900.
