TONE OF THE MARKET
! Offerings Of the beef cattle were
fairly heavy but the market was &C.
tive with conditions much the same
as ruled a week ago. Good COW
beef was IN quick demand, but the
poorer grades moved slowly at a
lower average range. Few fancy
steers and oxen were offered, but
II offered would bring 8@9c, with
fair to good steers and oxen at + %
lie: coarse oxen and thin oxen
at 800 1-2c. One extra fancy beef
col sold at &c. but the average
range for choice, we'll fattened cows
and heifers was 60 s lie: poor to
ordinary cows at 3 @4c. Gamers.
bologna and slippery cows at 1 3.4
@ &c. Bulls were in light supply,
with q higher grading and sold at
3 1905 1-2c. with few extra high
er.
The calf market was fairly steady,
but buyers did more wedding out of
the lighter weight calves and were
less inclined to pay top prices than
a week ago. Fancy heavy veal sold
at 11@13c: average mixed lots 90
10 1-2c: light calves, drinkers and
grasscrs 6@7c. Indications of weak
ness in the hog market was realized
in a quarter cent decline in the prices
of both live and dressed hogs. Yard
offerings of N. e. hogs were limited,
but the demand was quick for all Of
fered. Fancy lots sold at 9 1-20
10 IA: rough 1900: boars 304c.
Dressed hogs II 1902 3-4c.
Sheep and lamb are In fairly
heavy receipt from the west and N.

NEW YORK, March 29.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.)-Harry wills, giant New
Orleans negro, who has virtually been
barred for two years from the pugilistic
Inner circles" today took the first
definite step toward a title match with
Jack Dempsey when he signed with
Tex Richard for two bouts this summer.
Rickard, in the most important pro-
nouncement so far affecting the 1924
heavyweight program, disclosed that
Wills had signed for match in June
or July with Luis Firpo or one OF two
other foreign prospects,, and also, IL
successful in. the contest, q title contest
with Dempsey in September.
Sends Agent To Buenos Aires
+ Firpo'e recent declaration of his in
tention to- retire Is understood to be
the only. shitchiiAn the way of a match
between him and Wills, which would
determine Dempsey's foremost chal-
ienger. An agent Of Richard, however,
is now on his way to Buenos Aires. to
lay the promoters terms before the Ar
gentine.
Should Firpo not be available, Rick
ards agreement with Wills provides for
either Quintin Romero Rojas of Chile
or Erminio Spalla, European heavy
weight champion, as opponent to the
former stevedore. These two Latin
Americans are on their way to this
country to fight under Richards aus
pices.
Regardless of the opponent selected
for Wills. however, 1t Is understood
RIckard plans to match the winner
no contract had been signed as yet
with Jack Kearns, the champions
manager, but indicated he anticipated
little difficulty in this direction.

would stage a Wills-Dempsey match at
Tiajuana, Mexico.
Details of Richards agreement with
Paddy Mullins, Wills manager, which
was the elimination Of long series
Of differences between the pair, were
not revealed. 1t was understood, how
ever, that the negro was guaranteed
20 per cent OF receipts for both pros
pective bouts, which, on the basis of
a million-dollar' gate each, would net
him about 100000. Mullins previously
had rejected Richards bid OF $150,000
for q Firpo bout and counteted with a
demand for 20 per cent of the re-
ceipts. Color to acceptance OF the lat
ter proposition was given to Mullins
statement that his terms had been met
and Richards admission that the con-
tract was on percentage basis.
The promoter declined to name the
site he has in mind for the battles,
but the most likely available arena
are his Boyles' Thirty Acres at Jersey
City, now being rebuilt. Recently Rick
ard also declared he intended to stage
his most important matches in New
