THE BEE OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH ,24, 1920.- 11 C ARPENTIER IS ANXIOUS TO MEET DEMPSEYHESAYS Says He Can Condition Self On Short Notice Wants to - v Meet Champion Any ' Place. j New York, March 23. "I am anx ious to box Jack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight champion ship as soon as the match can be arranged." This was the first state ment made by Georges Carpentier. the French heavyweight, on his ar rival here Tuesday morning. "I can get into , condition on reasonably short .notice and am willing to meet thc holdcr of the premier title. any- where the match can be held, either in America or Europe," he added. These, statements weYe made through an interpreter. Too Many Contracts. ! The abandon with which Carpen tier and his manager, Pcscanips, signed contracts recently htre and abroad, stunned American promo ters, and left them in doubt as to the possibility of bringing Carpen tier and Dempsey together within the next 12 months. ..The Frenchman is under contract with three different promoters. The English promoter, Cochran, has first optiton on Carpentier' s ring services providing he can obtain Denipsey's signature for a match, the option ex tending to December 21. , '. . Jack Curley, wrestling promoter. Jias v Carpentier booked for a 10 weeks' vaudeville tour beginning May 3, with another five weeks ex tension if he desires to exercise it. Curley stated that he expected to tour the country 'with the French i pugilist, the latter giving sparring exhibitions with his own sparring partners. A. third contract is with a moving t " picjture concern which has booked Carpentier for two seven-reel films in which he will take the part of a college youth combined with a box ing role. Bride Not in Evidence. Manager Descamps, Vhen inter: viewed through an interpreter, stat ed flatly that Carpentier had no in tention of engaging .to box Dempsey until the Jattcr's "military affairs" "had been clcarcdup. A somewhat similar statement was credited to : Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, ; according to one of the interested parties, who ;iid he had received a letter from Kearus to. the effect . that Dempsey would not consider a match of any description until his name had been cleared of the draft evasion charge. Carpentier's bride was not in evi dence during the .afternoon when the French boxer's hotel suite was besieged by a host of newspaper men and photographers. The rooms were filled with gifts in the form of flowers, fruit and candy, many of which were addressed to Madame Georges Carpentier. The pugilist granted the reporters a few minutes'-interview, appearing in a gaily flowered bathrohe, heavily trimmed with maroon silk, which contrasted iharply-whh his blonde hair '.and. fair complexion. He smiled contin ually but did not attempt to con-1 'verse in English, answering ques tions through an interpreter much to the confusion of interviewers. ' , ' Exhibition Games. Columhus, On..

Outside of a few issues in which special in fluences were at .work to cause for ward swings, stocks in today's deal ings were inclined to hesitate and the final price list contained many declines. Industrials and railroad shares stood in the same category in respect to irregular movements which seemed to reflect little beside realizing sales and a considerable output of selling for the short ac count. A reason for professional pressure against quotations lay In the fact that the market had been advancing pretty steadily for more than a fortnight. In the opinion of more than a few observers of the March movement underlying conditions of credit and Industry have hardly warranted so perslstont an advance, and this feeling sup plies Incentive for short sales. Quite like ly, the stiffening of call money at 9 per cent on Monday with Its effect In slowing down trn fling In stocks, persuaded the pro fessional speculators to feel out the short side and they bad further opportunity In the uncertain dealings of tills morning. Call Money Remains Quiescent. There was not, however, any new' de velopment in call money today to supply atmnunltion to the bears. The renewal rate was 7 per cent and 8 per cent waa the maximum quotation of the afternoon. The government drew down its deposits somewhat, accurding to banking comment, and there was supposed to have been a moderate amount of loans called In by tha. banks during the morning In preparation ti offset the federal withdrawals, but nothing in the way of a "siuee2e" de veloped. Stock market borrowers late in the day hud no difficulty In filling their demands at tho higher Interest rate. While it may have been that apprehension of a stiff rise of the call loan rate caused traders in nlocks to act conservatively in the jnornlng. It did not seem as though this waa a continuing influence through out the day. But it Is to be said that speculators as a whole are studying credit factors mora, than they used to, and sight has not been lost In the fortnight's rise of prices that the federal reserve system has made practlca'ly no real progress in Increasing the reserve ratio. Gold con tinues to move away In large volume while the only inetat 'thus .far received from London In the expevted movement is $1,250,000 which arrived today. This was bought at auction recently and Is not part of any government transfer. Krane and IJre Decline. Foreign exchange hankers have re marked for several days that relatively more French and ttallan bills were be ing offered than were bills on London. The product was seen today and yester day, In extensive declines of franc and lire quotations at the same time that sterling was stVady or firm. The divers movements were not understood alto gether.

This inn.y i,e raving a supporting influ ence upon, rates, but bank rs were in clined today to stress the likelihood that disable loans by England to France and Italy were coming due shortly and that sterling was being accumulated to meet them. If this Is the case, a decline of francs and lir- would be natural and of a temporary nature, and an explanation would by contained for the rise of sterling.

One inquiry Is to be conducted by a senate subcommittee headed by Sena tor LaFollette. The Department of Jut tic and the ITnltd States district at torney have been directed to conduct the other. The senate committee is said to have complaints that friends of officials In the United States Grain corporation had reaped fortunes through speculation In wheat. Investigation of these charges directed the inquisitors to the real sit uation the unparalleled boosting of corn prices. Restrictions Imposed by the Grain corporation on deals in wheat arc said to have practically eliminated specu lation in .that commodity, but the ab sence of rules 1n corn, oats and barley turned the gamblers to those grains.

It dofs not matter how much corn is on the farms If there is a demand for it in the morket and tile corn cannot be delivered the price is bound to be high. Usually In the past corn has been deliver ed all through the winter to supply the spring and summer demand. There has hecn such a shortage of transportation facilities that the corn last winter wns not so tleihered and now when it is want ed, it cannot be bad. There is no ac cumulation, the price yfor future delivery right now is lower tfian tho cash price, Kuch a corner as Is mentioned Is not pos sible and the grain corporation has noth ing to do with tho situation."
