1he Turk Wonder and "Kid' Thenas Wrest|e Hard Draw


 The wrestling matches at the Victory Theatre Friday night were very exciting. the prelimi- naries especially as the wrestlers were all local boys. In the first preliminary Joe Ben Arlington and young Turner wrestled fif- teen minutes to draw, both boys tried hard for a fan but the bout went the time limit.
 Then came the surprise of the night when Charley Reeves and George Edgin hooked up in a fin ish match. Reeves has had a few lessons in wrestling from 'Kid' Thomas and that is all that saved him from defeat as Edgin was right after him from the start. The boys were about even in weight and put up a hard match, both were very confident and fought hard until Reeves got Edgin where he wanted hlm then pinned his man for the first fall in three minutes. After a short rest the boys came out for the second fall and put on a pretty exhibition of wrestling for two amateurs. Reeves finally got a Japanese strangle hold on Edgin and won the second fall and the match. A Japanese strangie bold is . very dangerous hold but is allowed in this country under 0Ur rules. It IS hoped that these tvO men will meet here again at . later date as the match was good to look at.
 Then came the main bout of. the night when Youseff Mahomet. tho Turk Wonder and Kid" Thomas of Chicago met in a fin ish match with a time limit of an hour which the Turk insisted on. Thomas was in favor of the match going no time limit but the Turk wouldn't wrestle that way, he seemed to be very angry when failed to weigh in at l50 pounds and Thomas claimed his forfeit which he had up to mako l5O lbs. He weighed in ringside at 155 pounds to Thomas l47 pounds. Since Williams refereed the match. The men put on some very clever wrestling and time after time both broke holds which seemed to be unbreakable.

New York, Aug. 21.-Prices were
firm, with the upward tendencies
in the drygoods market here today.
There was a good demand for
standard cloth constructions with
quotations up hc from last weeks
final. The strength of the cotton
market is the reason for the ad-
vances and also for the large num-
Der OF inquiries. If buyers could
be assured Of deliveries within a
reasonable time traders believe the
dealings would be quite brisk, but
the rail strike has interfered Sc
riously with prompt deliveries.
In the face Of only nominal trad
ing reported from Yokohama, the
raw silk market was quiet with
prices steady.
WOOL.
Boston, Aug. Slightly more
activity was manifested in the wool
market here today as a reflection
of the passage by the senate of
the tariff bill. Prices were firm
with demand strongest for the me-
dunn grades. 1t is felt, however,
that considerable delay is to be an
ticipated before the tariff measure
is finally disposed Of The call for
medium woods here has been re-
Elected in the west where a good
volume Of Montana woods have
been bought at excellent prices, al
though the bids both in Montana
and Wyoming have been under thu
seasons top. Buyers and seller:

were also substantial gains in
Standard Oil of New York, which
reached new high. and in Stand

Galena Signal Oil was the excep-
ton, dropping Off rather sharply.

dependents, crossed 15A for the
first time.
Motor shares were more active.

Chicago. Aug. 21.-After making
new low prices for all deliveries Of
wheat the market turned stronger
today, and from the low prices Of
the morning scored sizeable ad-
vances. Main cause Of the early
selling was the pronounced weak
ness at Liverpool, that market
opening at sharp decline and Ia
ter weakening still more, closing
2hc to ~ pence lower. the big
gest decline being on the near
month. The export demand on the
break here was fair and sales were
reported upwards of 100000 bush
els here with business at the sea-
board placed at about 1000, 900
bushels in all positions. The coun-
try offerings we're fair, bat ship

were favorable. Shorts covered
freely. The visible supply increas-
ed 1884, 900 bushels.
Corn rallied with wheat, after a
sharp setback in the first hour.
There was a good demand for cash
corn apparently and the market
was steady. Country offerings were
light. Export buying was of small
proportions. Receipts we're esti-
mated at 240 cars. The visible sup
ply totals stocks showed a decrease
Of 2,319,000 bushels.
Oats were steady throughout the
day. On the early dip in other
grains the market was steady and
there was free buying by commits

found offerings less heavy than re-

the bond market today. The whole
list was buoyantly active and the
general price average reached the
highest Of the season 80 tar. Among
individual bonds which sold at new

These bonds were carried along
with the st. Paul stocks which were
among the market leaders. Their
position, while never seriously in
doubt, has been made sure by the
big crops in the northwest and the
recovery in the buying power OF the

These two workmen, an engi-

Twenty minutes after he picked up

charging the express train wreck at

ficials said, sent the train blowing

ed mass and send two men to
death.
The bodies of Edward Coy, engi-

Eight men made up the crew Of

roee, might hays bsen ret down to
one or all Of three causes, either .
large participation BY the outside
speculative public. more vigorous
effort by the Wall Street pools, or
an Increased investment demand.
All three influences doubtless
played . part IN the market OF the
day. But the investment factor was
clearly the more important OF the
three. Investment capital, more or
less crowded out Of the bond mar
kef because the higher grade mort
cages had got out Of range Of the
ordinary buyer, has had to make up
its mind to greater chances for the
sale. of moderately higher return.
Hence it has drifted more and more
into the reimbursement channels
of the stock market--into the divl-
dend paying rails. into industrials,
which went through last years
slump without serious impairment
and into public utilities the position
of which has been greatly strength
ened by the reduction OF operating
costs and the more favorable atti-
tude of rate-making bodies.
This investment buying move
ment was held back somewhat by
the labor uncertainties. But today
with the soft coal strike settled
with an agreement practically sure
with the anthracite miners and
with every reasonable prospect Of
a solution within the next few days
of the railway shipments contro-
yarsy, it came into the market witt
full force. Nearly all the dividend
paying rails and many Of the non
diyidend payers bettered all thell
