STOCK MARKET
Is IRREGULAR
Most Industrial Shares Make Gains But
Fall to Hold Them.

NEW YORK Jan. 19.-Retirement of
the short interest in the stock market
made further variable progress today as
pools in oil, food. shipping and copper
shares as well as many miscellaneous
shares, resumed their bullsh operations.
Cross gains in these diversified stocks
ran from / to 6 points, but pressure
against steels and equipments in the last
half hour and the incidental advance
OF call money from TO percent eff
faced much of the rise at the irregular
close. General Asphalt, which fea-
tured yesterdays belated rally, was
again the most conspicuous issue, al
though Its extreme rise of almost five
points was reduced TO 1 SIS at the I'm
ish. Oils, almost without exception,
closed at losses, as well as steels, equip
ments, motors and rails, final dealings
disclosing a very thin market.
A sentimental factor in the early

Brady agreed. however, TO communi-

DEMPSEY'S FORFEIT MONEY Is
MISSING, THE PROMOTERS ADMIT

fiIlment OF contractuai clauses. Much
of the discussion appeared to hinge
upon the mystery of the missing boad.
According to Richard, Kearns and
others, such a bond for $4,000 was
made out by the champion and his
manager, but its whereabouts ut this
time is shrouded in mystery Officials
of the Central Union Trust company
of this city stated emphatically that
the bond was not in their possession,
es called for by the contract entered
into on November S. 1920.
Kearns telegraphed to a local rep
resentative here to break into his per-
sonal safe deposit box in order TO as
certain if the bond has been placed
there by mistake but the result of this
search had not been announced late
today. The bonds of the three pro-
moters and the money put UP In
France by Carpenter have been ac-
counted for apparently, and only
Dempsey's forfeit is missing.
Richard stated several times during
the day that he had no desire or in
tentfon to hold the other promoters to
their contract should they desire to
withdraw and that he stood ready to
assume full and individual response
bility for carrying out the match.
Such move would require Richard to
post the full 100000 forfeit of The pro-
moters and assume responsibility for
a $500, 900 purse. It is, likely, However,
that should Brady and Cochran decide
to accept Richards offer ard with
draw, certain changes would be made
in the new contract, provided legal
experts decided new contract was
necessary.
