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. '

New York, March 23. 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. Oreat Britain has Increased her
balances hre through sales of American
sucurltlcs and her exports to tha United
States are expected to "I'sclcse a notable
caln when detailed figures for February
commerce ate issued. ;
. 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.

Chicago Herald says: It was reported
In Washington lust night that a double
barreled Investigation Is under way Into
what has beeu termed the greatest corn
corner In tho history of the grain mar
ket.. 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. May
com closed yesterday at $1.59, an ad
vance of 39ic from Saturday, but the
farmer Is reaping no benefit from the
situation. Cars to move his grain to
market are unavailable. When he might

holding the cars for wheat, although
there was no market for wheat.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 23. A Heeded
lessening in the bullish enthusiasm
and a desire on the part of most
traders to go slower on the buying
side with an increased selling pres
sure, carried prices down irregular
ly. At the close prices were around
the inside of the day with net los,e:5
of lc on March, to l2c lower on
cash and 2(V3j4C on distant dcliv-'
eries of corn.
Oats lost 4l;c. rye lt2'ic and
barley l'c for the day.
rrovtslona declined and closed at the
inside with lard off 12ViC. short ribs 54f
Tlic and pork 5c lower to unchanged.
Forgetting that all sales of grain for
future delivery contemplate a tender of
the cash article, local traders attacked
the corn market at tha start, and with an
absence cf aggressive support prices de
clined lnrcgularly and closed about the
bottom, May finishing at S.hb, July at
Jl.r.OW, and September $1.4H.
Kxport demand for whem was brisk,
with buyers at $-.70 for No. hard, track,
New York, wliile sellers asked $2.75. Win
ter wheats were unchanged to 2c higher,
with No. 2 red and No. 3 hard at ,$2.66.
Sentiment in oats was rather bearish,
the break in corn being the dominating
influence. There waa some selling early
tbat was attributed to selling by a leading
long, but aside from thai pressure was
rialnly local, losing trades were at the
low point, with May 8fSV4c: July, 79Vic,
and September (isc. Kample values un
changed to JiiC lower, closing easy.
Demand for rye front seaboard showed
tin abatement. , Sellers asked higher prices
and kuIhs were reported at IDifcc over May

New York, March 23. Cotton closed SO
points higher to 30 points lower.
Is the cause of the recent advance. 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."
