FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS HEAVY
Owing to the Course of Domestic and
 Foreign Events.

New York, Feb. 5.-The course of events, domestic and foreign, over the enforced holiday was not especially conducive to higher quotations, judg- ing from the uncertain trend of to- days stock market.
 Rigorous weather gave another se- we're setback to the fuel and transpor- tation situation, some of the more important centers of the middle west reporting industrial conditions border ing upon paralysis.
 Advices from abroad, more particu larly within the Central Empires, also lost some of their more encouraging aspects of the previous week, but the only outward reflections of European affairs was furnished by the recur- rent heaviness of exchange on Italy.
 The few financial statements of the day were relatively better, Southern Railway and Atlantic Coast Line, for example, showing net gains for De- cember while Chicago and Northwest reported only a nominal net decrease
 Rails were an unimportant factor in the days dealings, however, activity again centeriag around industrials equipments and pooled ,specialties.
 Foremost in the latter groups were the motors. fertilizers and distilling issues, at gross advances of to points
 U. S. Steel was under persistent pressure at an extreme setback of al most two points. very little of which was recovered. Bethlehem Steel shippings and oils constituted the oth- CT important heavy issues. Sales amounted to 520,000 shares.
 Bonds showed lower tendency French issues again weakening. Lib erty 1-2's sold at 9S.46 to 9S1S, first As made the new minimum of 96.4( and second As sold at 95 S6 to 95.S4 Total sales. par value aggregated s4,- 425, 900.

TRIBUTES TO JOHN L. SULLIVAN,
By James j. JeFries.

0y Jafue$ J. Je7rfeS.
 Old John L. was the daddy of them all. Many heavyweight champions will come and go, but none will ever be as popular as the Old Roman In the fighting line he was the real in ventor of the knockout punch, and was the first man to make a science of the knockout and his famous right cross.
 All of us copied his stuff. but none of us younger fellows ever used it like John L. could. When his old ram of a fist connected with his jaw it car r1ed more steam than any of the wal lops of us fellows who followed him.
 By Jack MeAuliffe.
 Wen, poor old John l.. has left us. The grand old man was my idol. for probably know him as well as any other man alive.
 It only seems yesterday that I first saw this wonderful fighting machine standing in the corner of ring scowl- ing at his opponent and then rushing out like an enraged bull. When he rushed out of the corner it generally meant defeat for his rival. as John l.. was a fighter, pure and simple.
 His loss will strike the sporting world hard, for there was only one John l.. Sullivan.
 By. Prof. Mike Donovan.
 "John L.'s name will outiive that of the greatest ring warriors-for he was that himself. the greatest Roman of them all. I named him that. You know, John-we always called the big fellow John-and I did not agree, not always, but I liked the big, rough fellow to the bottom of my heart de- spite his faults.
 John was a rough fellow, but, as

 square as a die. He made no pretense of being gentle, and in the ring heavens above--the fellow was bull- dog loosed from his chain. That fel- low knocked them dead on the run" By Billy Madden.
 T knew John L. when he was at his best, and in my opinion there never was man then or since who could beat him at that time. He was very quick, built like an Apollo and a game fighter and hard hitter He could run 100 yards in 12 seconds, and was a veritable Hercules in strength
 "He was then g years cid. and at which he commenced to get fat and gradually went back"
 By Tom o'Rourke.
 T met Sullivan when both of us were learning some of the rudiments of the game from Professor Bailey, who taught boxing at Harvard. He Sullivan and I met there day after day.
 'Sullivan's well known and decis- i've S'coior line" was not personal; it was merely professional. Among a few of John Us colored friends was little George Dixon, the bantam cham pion. He made Dixon his protege. k SuIIivan's Belt Worth $70,ooo.
 James King, the Baltimore horse dealer, has the big diamond belt of John L. Sullivan, the former cham pion, who died Saturday. It is one ot the wonders of the fistic world. John l.. turned it over to MT. King about ten years ago for safe keeping. It is now in a safe deposit box.
 The. value at the time of it's presen tation to John L.. was placed at $40, GOO, and with the rise in value of pre- cious stones in the last ten years its value should be upward of $70,000 now The diamonds and other precious stones in the belt number more than 300.
