- - FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Aug. 13-Trading on the stock exchange today was ex- tremely superficial and again restricted to specialties, apart from further ac- tiyity in equipments, oils and allied shares. which have been the prominent features of recent sessions.
 While considerably in excess of yes terday's moderate turnover, the volume of business afforded striking con trast to the long succession of days when operations averaged 100000 shares, occasionally running well be- yond that impressive total.
 The most assuring feature was the greater ease of money. call loans open ing at 5% to 6A per cent but shading appreciably after midday on an over abundance of offerings.
 Trading was most active and highly confusing in the final hour when stocks of the same class moved contrarily, au irregular heavy tone prevailing at the close. Sales s50.000 shares.
 United States Steel and affiliated stocks and also the rails recorded minimum quotations in the final re- gersal. reaction among other leaders, including Crucible Steel and Baldwin Locomotive ranging from to points.
 High grade bonds. notably railway issues, eased the foreign group and the Liberty issues also shading slightly. Total sales par value, s11,S50,000.
 Old United states bonds unchanged on call.

The new store of the Mesa Seed and Feed company is now opened for busi- ness, F. B. Quick, the managing mem Der of the corporation, having moved to Mesa from Phoenix and now is in active charge.
 This firm is composed Of z. Pearce and Charles Johnson, of the Johnson Pearee Produce company, and E. E. Quick. who for the past six years has been with the Phoenix Seed and Feed company. The establishment is quar- tered in a 30-foot space partitioned off from the Johnson -Pearce company store. Under the plan of the two firms, the produce company will de- vote itself entirely to the produce business. while the other will handle all kinds of feed, grains and mill pro- ducts, seeds. poultry supplies. Jubilee incubators, breeders. etc. They also are state agents and distributors for the B. K. dairy disinfectants. which Mn Quick says Is meeting with popu- lar favor among the dairymen of the state.
 The Quicks were unable to find a rent house in Mesa, and as permanent citizens of the Gem City they pur- chased a lot adjoining the Fred Weekes residence on North Macdonald street and are erecting a home thereon.

MESA'S BOXING FANS
 ENJOY GDOD PROGRAM

MESA, Aug. 1.-The fight fans who attended the series of boxing bouts on Tuesday night in the Orphe- um theater got their moneys worth. All things considered, it was the best show that the club has put on. The boxers all were willing and there was not a dull minute, save for rather long waits, before getting started and be- tween the bouts.
 The first mill was between two re- turned navy lads, Altman and McFad- den. Some clever work was spoiled by too much elinching. their demon strations of affection not meeting with the approbation of the spectators. However, both boys were game and were going strong at the finish of the three round bout.
 Al Dana and Arthur Moxley were the heavyweights of the evening, run ming around l65 pounds. Hard hitting and willingness to take punishment characterized this contest. with Moxley lighter on his feet, but Dana boring in and giving as much as he received. Both this and the preceding bouts were declared draws.
 The third number on the program was the prettiest of the evening. Paul Dana and Moriarity, the latter of Gil- bert. both around 135 pounds. showed some classy boxing. The Gilbert lad has hard punch, but had a lot of trouble finding the 1.-the. slender lad who 1arted in and struck and then got away Dana got the decision in the three round go. There is good boxing material in this popular lad, wto IS so quiet in his everyday demeanor that a cstX in Q h1f f14af fnf as constant surprise to his friends
 Lafe LeBaron, the promoter of the sports, went three rounds with Tullie Brown. The latter lacked experience, but took punishment like a veteran, and while the decision was awarded LeBaron, the newcomer won many friends by his gameness. Brown, too, had punch that warned his more shifty antagonist against coming to too close quarters, and the gong rang on the final round with both men standing looking at each other.
 Other contests were three-round go between Estrada and Morrow of Tempe, a slugging match in which both men fought every second of the time; a comedy battle staged by two lads in overalls, who were unknown to the majority of the crowd, but who fought and grinned and hollered for the bell to ring when the resting time was not half over. This tale of battle would be incomplete If mention were not made of the prelim, when Pick ems, the doughty ten-year -old. hloodied the nose of Max Connolly. of equal age but more fat Max fought on, though his lifeblood dropped four big drops on his bib overails
 Mann of Phoenix refereed the bouts.

There is a big westerner who is boss ing the work on Sledden's dam up the river. He is staying with Aunt Gym thy. And there are two city boys camping in the old mill. They've got 1t fixed up to ocute. And they have a canoe and everything.
 Of course there's no use my telling you how we miss you. Randy Lewis bushes to the roots of his hair when ever he sees your picture or hears any one mention you. And Phil Wessen at the drugstore, who'd lay his life down for you any minute if you'd only looA at him, is real handsome these days with his hair graying and a little weight taken on. But you wouldn't marry widower with two children if he was the last man on earth I sup pose. Mabel Hari-iss is angling for him with every bait she knows.
 Think it over, dear, and come home for visit. The whole town would go daffy with joy.
 At all events, forget Wallis. He's not the man for you.
 Yours devotedly.

There are many carelss readers in the world and some of these same have blundered in a way very pro- voking to Officer Pickens It is hap pened that three papers carried stories about E. J. Pickens and his alleged attitude toward a young girl and his being fined for carrying concealed weapons. Not once, but a score of times, Pickens, the officer. whose ini- tials. by the way, are 70. L., 1" has been approached relative to his supposed law breaking. If it were only a joke, the matter would not amount to any thing, but it happens that Pickens is about the best-known man on the south side, and the name naturally is associated with his good natured per sonality. He insists that the public is unjust, since the initials of "E. J.'' Pickens are those of Ed Warren. the city marshal. and some few folks at least have mixed Warren up with the offense. The more so, says Pickens since Warren is the better looking of the two.

About <60 people were in the party and the time was spent in swimming, dancing and eating.
