SHORTS ARE ACTIVE

NEW YORK. March 15.-The fea-
tu-e OF the market today was the
continuance of the liquidation
movement Of yesterday In the
newer months. March and May were
freely sold at times by some Of the
largest spot interests. This was
partly liquidation in those positions
and partly hedging. July and Oc-
tOber were bought occasionally
against sales of May and March by
other houses. This looked as
though there were some large
st-addle operations being made for
narrowing of the differences be-
tween the old and new crop months.
There were further deliveries OF
about 5000 bales of cotton here on
March contracts today. With little
fresh support in either that month
or May, the market position fo-
those two options was further
weakened by these Developments.
After the general market had
opened at about where II had left
Off at close Of business on the late
rally of yesterday, with March SELL
ing at 1915, May 1874, July 17.25
and October 1875. there was a
gradual decline in prices through
out the forenoon. The market was
further weakened in the early
afternoon by Southern selling, with
March going down about IS points
from yesterdays closing quotations
by 2 o'clock to 17A cents. May
went OFF 30 points to 1851. while
the latter months declined but 10
to IL points, July to about I7.lS
cents and October 1853. Scale down
buying orders in the hands of local
trade commission houses and some
profit-taking by shorts furnished
the chief buying powe- in the mar

CHICAGO. March 15.-Liquidation
was on in grains as the result OF a
break OF to 90 in spot wheat in
Liverpool, and prices dropped to a
new low on the present downturn
with May wheat at the inside figure
showing COX cents under the re-
cent high. A feature was the alb
sence of aggressive buying on the
way down and stop-loss orders were
uncovered on the break, not only in
wheat but also in other grains.
Crop reports from the Southwest
were generally favorable but will
take several weeks of growing
weather to reveal the actual con-
dition. There was some exchanging
of futures here against sales of hard
winter at the gulf. The seaboard
claimed the demand was slow and
a Winnipeg message said that the
reported sales of Manitobas from
Toronto on Monday was exaggerated
and that 100000 bushels was near
er the correct figure. Liverpool fu-
lures closed unchanged despite the
break in the cash, and while many
of the local traders are decidedly
besrish there is an under current
of bullish comment heard in some
quarters as there are signs now of
change in the character of the
news.
Numerous stop loss orders were
uncovered under so cents for May

 Proposed amendm ents to the con- stitution and statements made at the joint meeting of the executive and advisory committees here last week are said to indicate a broadening of the scope of the oldest collegiate sport governing body of America. One of the most important amendments would provide that a college holding m membership in the I. c. A. A.

Returning home Kelly took the Southern route and made a. four days stop-off at New Orleans.

 Amateur boxing is popular there. two shows a week being held, one in Hollywood and the other in Los Angeles. Six and eight bouts are given and the admission is s3. 'FJust as common to see persons wearing ulsters on the streets of Los Angeles as in Bridgeport" said Kelly.
 Kelly returned home highly jim. pressed with the Western spirit. "An are boosters" he said.

Charley Atherton formerly amateur champion of Bridgeport, was the hero of one of the shortest bouts In history when he knocked out Pete Kicker son, colored, in ten seconds. Kicker son didn't strike a blow. just danced when Atherton rushed him to the ropes and stung him under the chin. Lenny Castle made big hit with the crowd when he put away Carl second. Coffee started into the fray like a cyclone, but Castle displayed some clever generalship. took mat ters easily and soon had the situa- was fast, and Coffee was tired when he resumed action in the second. Two aledgehammer blows to the jaw set -Coffee's fate.
 Phillips Bicks Johnson
 After three fast rounds cy Johnson hands of Jim Phillips, a clever and hard wa1loping colored lad. It proved another battle of the hammer and tongs variety. Phillips was floor ed tVice and appeared to be on the verge of a knockout in the early part of the third round. but he displayed wonderful recuperative powers. John son didn't possess the steam to fol-
