FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS ERRATIC.

New York. Oct. 2.-Many mixed changes were registered during to- days cratic and less active stock market. War shares displayed fur ther heaviness which now and again extended to issues in no way identified with that group.
 Aside from the tenor of foreign des- patches, there was little in the days developments to prompt further offer il.gs Of war stocks. other than that suchsa course probably suited the pur- poses of professional interests.
 Public participation was slight, judging from the inactivity of com mission houses, and the selling at no tune suggested liquidation of an inn rortant character. save in a few Iso lated instances.
 l.. s. Steel again was under fire, reacting slightly over a point, but re- trieving most of it's loss at the end Recognized war shares, notably Beth lehem Steel. Baldwin Locomotive and half a score others engaged i'll the manufacture of munitions and ord nance, added one to three points to recent reversals.
 Rails failed to bear out their prom ise of the previous day, displaying moderate heaviness after ar early demonstration of strength by Union Pacific and Reading,
 Oils, motors, shippings, coppers, to- baccos and utilities featured the con- struCtiVe side at gains of two to seven points, Mexican Petroleum and Texas Company rising spiritedly in the final hour with material rallies in most other active issues, a steady tone rul- ing at the close.

twinges of conscience on being irl- formed that the promoters lost mon ey.
 Nevertheless, the assertion of loss will surprise all concerned especially in view of the fact that it was an- nounced after the battle that the re- receipts totalled $34,O00. Notwithstand- ing this rosy report. Edward l. Croll, attorney for the Aidrome A. C.; which staged the contest, is today oHerlng creditors thirty cents on the dollar. Some of the creditors have refused this proposition and threaten court pro- ceedings.
 According to Mir. Croll, the Air drome A. C. farmed out the plant to Jack Curley, who was to manage the | bout and refray the expenses. At first | 1t seemed that there was enough mon ey in sight to pay the boxers and all l other expenses and have ahandsome profit for the club. To the chagrin of | the Aidrome A. C., it was found that exactly $500 was left for the club after | the principal bill had been paid. As | the Airdrome A. c. had depended on | the Leonard-Lewis contest to provide 1 them with money to meet heavy dficit due on two previous boxing | shows, they are in quardary. In ad- I cited to appear before the New ter sey Boxing commission to explain the | outrageously poor management of the ! bout.
 If the reported receipt of $S4.o00 is a correct statement, it is not difficult to trace the disposition of the money. The state tax of 10 per cent. would amount to $500 and 20 per cent. of the re- mainder that went to Joe Lannin, the leassee of the grounds, was $6.12o Leonard got $S,OO0 and Lewis $6,o0(
 and the total paid out for the tax to Lannin and the fighters makes a tota 1 of $23.520, leaving balance of S10,- i 520, leaving a balance of $10.4S0. De ducting the $500 that the Airdrome l club received leaves a balance of $9, 6S0. It is not known how much Jack Curley received for acting as man.
 ager of the bout. but if he got S9,- 6S0 he did very well indeed.
 All of which goes to prove that pro-
 noting boxing bouts in Jersey is not all that it is cracked up to be.
