Copyright. 1890. b New nza n

Atlantic City, May 11-With all
the hubbub and excitement attend
ant his whirl of social activities and
preparations for his training camp.
Jack Dempsey did not forget that
Sunday was Mothers day.
Dempsey arose very early Sunday
morning and his first thought was of
his mother back in Salt Lake City.
After wiring uorist, the champion
sent this telegram to Mrs. Celia
Dempsey, his mother:
This is Mothers day. Expect
great bouquet of flowers. Am going
to train hard so you won't be dis
appointed on July 2. JACK"
When he reached camp late Sun
day afternoon, this message awaited
him:
Dear boy, / just knew you would
MT forget your mother. We know
what to expect in Jersey City.
MOTHER"
Some GIRL" burst out Dempsey to
his friends after reading the dis
patch. Confidence is a great thing,
not only when you have it yourself
but when it is shown by your best
girl"
Mayor Bader took Dempsey and
Joe Bannon over to the Atlantic City
Country Club at Mortified, where
they were luncheon guests of Thorn
as w. Wootton, of Atlantic City
Dempsey and the mayor paired or
against Wootton, who is the home
club champion, and Bannon. The
no. ;t,l,f oh nft,ll
copied his clubbing" on the links.
but cautioned Wootton to never
suggest entering the ring with him
or things would be ''even."
: Dempsey again Sunday night was
the guest around the festive board
of nearly a score of senators and con-
: grcssmen here over the week end on
governmental mission. If the
; champion floors Georges Carpenter
! in the same space of time il takes
him to make speeches, the fistic epic
on July 2 at Jersey City will be
matter of seconds. The champion
rises to be introduced, then ad-
dresses members of his audiences as
brothers" thanks them and sits
down.
Dempsey's "belongings' arrived
Sunday. Teddy Hayes, the cham
pions secretary, Immediately had
the gymnasium paraphcrnalia and
other freight moved to the national
stadium grounds. Several score OF
Workmen have been busy at the
camp all day today accomplishing
the finishing touches. Dempsey's
democratic introduction won them
ever and they seemed just as anxious
to get everything ready as the cham
pion is to go ahead with his work.

Prices Lower
AS Activity i'm
Stocks Gains
Selling for Decline Com
bines With Liquidation
to Force Losses; Easier
Tendency in Bond Market

Breaking out of the rut Of inactivity
and sluggishness in which it had been
moving for fortnight, the stock
market yesterday turned rcactionary in
it's tendencies when more liberal Of
fering Of stocks, accounted for by
fresh liquidation of distressed hold
ings and professional selling for the
decline, forced substantial recessions,
leading issues closing / to 2 points
lower in many cases.
In the absence of news to explain the
general downward movement Of stocks,
tendency which also was reflected in
the bond market, where the tone was
easier, the Street heard rumors of i'm
pending developments Of an unfavor-
able character. Inquiry in important
banking circles after the close Of the
market disclosed the fact that the
financial difficulties Of an institution
engaged in foreign trade had been
taken in hand by a powerful banking
group and were in fair way toward
being cleared up.
The announcement Of the passing
of the quarterly dividend on the COM
mon stock of the American Sugar Re-
fining Company was followed by a rush
of selling in that issue which caused
a violent drop for time. The action
of the stock showed that after all the
recent talk about the dividend the
vote to omit the regular payment came
as surprise in some quarters.
Another point of special weakness
in the industrial group was Western
Union Telegraph, which dropped with
great vigor when the news leaked out
that the company had sold an issue
Of s15,ooo,0oo 61a per cent bonds to
local bankers. Western Union broke
SIS points net to rs on turnover Of
less than 10000 shares. This is the
first public financing the company had
done since 1907.
The professional traders made an
other onslaught against Mexican Pc
troleurn and succeeded in driving that
issue from 1929 to 97h, with no rally
at the close. Other weak industrials
were the equipment shares, Interna-
tional Paper, Houston Oil and United
Fruit. Rail shares were under pres
sure as we'll as the industrials.
The decrease of 1854 tons in un-
filed orders of the United States Steel
Corporation during July, as reported
yesterday, was a smaller decline than
had been looked for. The weekly re-
views of the iron and steel industry
took note of slight Improvement, al
though there continues an absence of
large orders.
The commodity markets were quiet
and the days movements in foreign
exchange rates were narrow. Money
rates held firmly at per cent at the
exchange for call loans.

L Paws to Advertise

The leading copper producers have
finally come to a realization of the ne
cessity Of placing the merits of their
product before the public. The war re-
suited in the creation Of many substi-

facturers already have spent consid-

forward with the announcement that
the Copper and Brass Research Associ-
alton has been formed, with R. L.
Agassiz, president of the Calumet and

purpose of which would be to educate

Of copper The announced intent of the
new association is "to stimulate by CO.
operative effort the use of copper,
brass and copper alloy products" Mem
bership in the association is open to
producers of copper sold here or sell

United Cigar Stores Sales

Sales of the United Cigar Stores
Company of America in July were off
per cent, compared with the CORE
spending month of last year, but
showed an increase of "a per cent over
July, 1919, according to figures made
public in the financial district yester-
day. For the seven months sales were
IL ahead of 1920 and increased 33
per cent over 1919. 1t was said that
while lower prices for cigars account
sales, the chief cause lies in the price
reductions on so-called "by-products "
The company has been selling upward
of $5,000,0O0 of candy and merchan-
disc other than tobacco products.
