 NET CHAMPIONS.
Fred Perry and Kay Starn- mers Gain Much Favor
 at Forest Hills
By GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan Correspondent)

Limited Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 4--CUP) England, with two aces, may hold the winning tennis hand at Forest. Hills.
 Frederick J. Perry, bulwark of Britaip's Davis cup conquerors, is heavily favored to win the national mems championship, and Kay Stammers, English beauty, looms the most dangerous threat to upset the four-year reign of Helen Hull Jacobs, Berkeley, Calf, in the woinen's singles.
 . As the combined mems and worn- ems championships moved into the second round of play today Perry's only really dangerous rival seems to be Donald Budge, of falkland, Calf. The rest of the field of 63 players seemed to be in another and inferior tennis league.
 Tn the women'S division, the only threats to Miss Jacobs fifth straight title besides the left-handed Miss Stammers appear to be Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Babyan, Cambridge, Mass, and Alice Marble, Los Angeles. The winner of the expected Jacobs Stammers battle in the upper-half will be favored to take the crown.
 After l6 matches in the upper half of the draw yesterday, the field in the women's singles was reduced to 48 from 64 original entries. The bottom half of the draw will be com- pleted today
 Perry easily triumphed yesterday in the first round over Alfred Jarvis, Tenafiy, N. J, former boys cham pion, 60, Go, 6-2.
 Budge routed George Seewagen, left-handed Bayside, N. Y, player, GO, 6-1, GO. The loser did not make a single earned point.
 Miss Jacobs triumphed in her opening match over Esther Edwards, Bridgeport, Conn, 60, GO. Miss Stammers dropped the opening game to Grace Surber, New York, and then put on an impressive dis play of stroking which gave her 8 6-1, 6-1 triumph.
 The outstanding matches in the second round of the mems singles today follow:
 Frankie Parker, Spring Lake, N. J., vS. Manuel Alonso, New York.
 Robert L. Riggs, Los Angeles, vs. Wayne Sabin, Los Angeles.
 Fred Perry, England, vs. Ernest Sutter, New Orleans.

YOUNG FRESHMAN COPS DUKE OVER HEAVIER NEGRO.
yignaIi in Fine'D Draw With LOgafl-Steele Loses;
 MignauIt Won
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

From a crowd-pleasing stand- point, boxing returned to Water- bury with bang last nightl Four bouts, presented at the new Null ligan Arena at Bank and Meadow streets were crammed with action, the pay-off being 8 popular de- cision which went to Al Delaney of Detroit over Eddie Unknown Win ston of Holyoke, the 20 year old Irishman coming through from the verge of knockout in the ninth round to left hand his way to vic- tory.
 Some 1.500 fans took in the fights at the Lew location, and all went home satisfied that they had seen a good show, which has been the ex- ception rather than the rule, where all bouts on 8 card "click" with the fans. Tn the semi-f1nal, which went on after the main bout, Bud Mignault of Brockton punched out an easy decision over the tough K. o. Joe zwick of Cleveland; Joe vignaN of this city and Tommy Logan of Holyoke drew in sixer, which was bar-room brawl all the way, and Joe Steele of this city lost by T.K.O. to Ace Clark of Holyoke in the fourth round when the Waterbury puncher was cut badly over the right eye.
 Classy
 Delaney, @ good-looking, sharp shooting youngster with deadly left hand hook and jab, gained early favor with the fans as he kept Win Eton at bay with left hook that completely baflled the burly negro, who outweighed Delaney by Il pounds. Winston elected to counter punch through the fight, except on rare occasions when he smashed hard to Delaney's body and head, almost dropping him in the eighth round, but quite unable to put over the "one more punnch" that would have won the fight for him. Delaney's closing finish and gen. eralship in the tenth and final round decided Referee Bill Conway in his favor, 1t seemed as there was not too much to choose between the pair up to the final heat.
 How It Looked
 On the scorecard of the writer, Delaney took the third, fourth, sixth, seventh and tenth rounds with Winston getting the second, fifth, eighth and breaking even in the first and ninth rounds, Delaney wir.ning by a 46-4S point score on the five point scoring basis.
 Joe vignali, after a six month layoff, gave very good account of himself in his six round. go with tough Tommy Logan, the latter

Control Contract
N. c. Second Largest Peanut
Producing State; Sign-up
Ends February IS

he peanut sign-up, started OH the
first of the year, must be completed by
around February IS, E. Y. Floyd, in
charge of the peanut program in North
Carolina, told the State Farmer in an
exclusive interview.
Mr.. Floyd said that the sign-up is
progressing nicely, and said that it now
appeared it would go over equally as
we'll or better than it did last year when
more than o5 per cent of the growers
signed contracts. The reduction in 1895
was 10 per cent.
North Carolina is the second largest
peanut producing state, being exceeded
only by Georgia. The total crop this
year was 285,75o,OOo pounds, or enough
to supply every man, woman and child
in the country with two quarts of pea
nuts and some left over. The crop was
100000 pounds above the fve-year
average.
Weather was too wet and rainy dur
ing November for curing and picking of
peanuts and the supplies moving into pri-
mary markets were rather light. While
many of the nuts have shown she'll blem-
ishes, the damage was not sufficient to
affect the kernels to any extent.
Demand for peanuts has been relative
ly slow during November and early De-
cenber, and prices have weakened in the
larger markets. Practically all of the
big Eastern markets in fact have shown
some weakness during this period. New
York prices for cleaned Virginias were
around 7A-8c for jumbos, 7-7Ac for
fancys and 6N-7c for extras. Philadel-
phia, Boston and Pittsburgh prices were
about in line with New York, after al
lowing for differences in freight charges
from point of shipment.
Shelled Virginias were also easy, with
New York quoting o-9Ac for extra large,
8-8Ac for number ones and 7-7hc for
number twos.
The total crop of peanuts is larger
this season than last, which has a ten
dency to bear down the prices somewhat.
Total production for the country was
officially estimated on November / as
I,28O,OOO,Ooo pounds, compared with
1868 100000 pounds last year. South
Carolina also has larger crop than last
season or 1I,2oo,oOo pounds compared
with 100000 year ago.

FIRM TONE MARKS
LONDON TRADING
Large Proportion of Recent
Volume for Investment
Purposes Alone.
BY LEONARD J. REID.
By Cable 10 The Star.

LONDON, October 17.-The fort
nightly account of the stock exchange
ended in a firm tone. The absence of
weak selling, which is noteworthy
after the recent vigorous price ad-
vances, reveals that a large plopor-
ton of the recent volume of share
purchases was for purely investment
purposes.
External influences of the last
week were Cancelled by the unanimous
approval that greeted the further
stage of the American-Br British-French
currency pact. However, the awk-
wardness of the European political
situation was stressed once more by
the Russian attitude toward Spain
and Belgium's isolation pronounce
ment, which was seen as reopening
many Western European problems.
The reciprocal granting of facilities
to obtain gold by the control funds
of London and Washington was re-
garded as a necessary and effective
sJep to make the new elasticity
stable" standard work efficiently.
Confidence is returning quickly in
Holland and Switzerland and very
slowly in France, where, however,
public opinion has been favorably
impressed by a reduction in the Bank
of France rate and by the banks ac-
QUESTION of 100000 in gold. This.
however, represents mainly gold
handed to the Bank of France by
the British, French and Belgian con-
troll funds for the purpose of obtain.
ing francs for mass maneuvers in
currency stabilizing.
The sensation this week In the
financial district was the unprece-
dented scramble for the new Morris
Motor units, which is likely to COM
pei the Stock Exchange Committee
to adopt a more rigid attitude toward
the placing of shares, insisting usu-
ally on the prospectus method.
Uncertainties in the Gaumont deal
continue, but meeting of the direc-
tors has been called for Monday, at
which time an official statement is
expected, but no dividend on the
ordinary shares is forecast.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE up
ward movement in copper prices
abroad was aggressively resumed the
past week.
Electrolytic copper abroad sold up to
10 cents a pound, elf. European base
ports, a new high since April, 1881.
The advance reflected active specula-
tive and consumer buying, in face Of
an announcement by the cartel in
creasing production quotas S per cent
to IS per cent of capacity.
Domestic consumer interest was
stimulated by developments abroad
and there was q revival Of rumors
concerning an advance to the To-
cent level.

rejecting an insistent and expanding
demand, announced an advance of 81
