MARKET WAS WEAK.

New York, Jan. 13.-Itesurlption of aggressive operations by the short inter- est in speculative shares which figured prominently in the recent advance doubt less accounted to an extent for the heavy to weak trend of stock market prices today.
 Early quotations were distinctly down. ward, with intermittent rallies before noon. These were generally cancelled later, persistent offerings of CrueiDle Steel. Mexican Petroleum and other leaders undermining the entire list. Rails and several of the utilities proved the only conspicuous exceptions.
 Lowest prices ruled in the last half hour, when selling of the better known equipnen steelst motors and shippings supplemented the extensive 'l.qIidatio of speculative favorites. Little support was shown and -sliarp reactions marked the tcive finish. Sales amounted to S75,60o shares. Grs ,.a
 Developments of the session were again very confusing; ranging from the easier tone of the money market to heaviness in British excaaage, more wage re- ductions and substantially lower rail- way and steamship revenues.
 Call loans opened at per cent for the first time in more than a month, probably as a. result of renewed of ferings outscide Of the 4xchan ge at 5 Nd even 4 1-2 per cent. The supply of time money at 61-s per cent.- also increased

HERMAN DEFEATS BRITISH IDOL

London, Jan. 13.-(By The A. T)- Pete Herman of New Orleans, former bantamweight champion of the world, to- night in Albert hall. decisively defeated Jimmie Wilde, long the British idol.
 The end came in the 17th round, when the referee interfered and stopped the bout to save the little We,chman from the agony of a knockout
 Although in the last round Wilde three times had been knocked through the ropes, he was still. coming, back for more punishment when the referee caught him in his arms, ended the battle and gave the decision 10 the American lad. The fight had teeu advertised as being for the bantamWeight championship of the world.
 The men had agreed to weigh in at 11S pounds, but Herman was l 1-2 pounds over the stipulated weight.
 The first five rounds were in favor of Wilde. Then the advantage alternated until the 18th, when Herman'B. weight began to tell on the Welchman.
 Early in the 17ths a right to the jaw sent Wilde through the ropes. This was twice repeated and the referee ended the contest
 Herman surprised the crowd by his boxing, which discounted Wilde's az gressiveness. The American fought 8 sportsmanlike contest throughout and was well received by the spectators.
 Herman will sail for home Saturday. and says he hopes again to meet Joe Lynch to whom he recently lost the worlds championship in a bout in Mad ison Square Garden, New-.Y orlx.-2
 Although defeated Wilde is still Great Britain's boxing hero, as he is consid- cred to" have saved toniSits programme from being a Connplete ffisco- by entering the ring against Herman, notwithstand- ing the inability of the American to make the stipulated weight fifteen minutes be- fore the battle <s
 Ten thousand persons. including the Prince of Wales and ether notables, wit. messed the contest and evinced enthu- sissm throughout the fight, especially in the 18th round when there was terrific battle on the ropes. Herman, with left 10 the ribs and right to the jaw, appear ed to have Wilde nearly out, but the bell sayed the Welchman.

SPLENDID ORCHESTRA
AT OUR CHAUTAUoUA
Exceptional Program-Remarkable
Effects. Music Lovers Will
Be Delighted

For years Charles F. Horner has
specialized and featured some par
ticular company each year. This
year particlar attention has been
devoted to Philharmonic Orches-
ira of young women. The program
will be as unusual as it will be beau
tiful. In addition to giving a pro-
gram of musincal gems, the lighting
and staging as well as the grouping
of these charming women will afford
continuous series of delightful
pictures and effects which will
heighten every selection rendered
The music lover quite often is
over-fed with conventional pro-
grams, whether of more than ordi.
nary character or not. The oiginal
idea which M. Horner has carried
out so efficiently, that of combining
atmosphere in color, lighting and
costume with harmonic effects, is
new departure in Chautauqua.
