A HOME BUILDING ARGUMENT JIMMY WILDE DEFEATS FRANKIE MASON Ringside, Coliseum, Toledo, Ohio, March 12—Jimmy Wilde of England, recognized flyweight boxing champion of the world, proved his right to the title tonight by decisively outpointing Frankie Mason, of Fort Wayne, Ind., the American claimant of the title. Although no referee’s decision was given, the majority of sporting writers agreed that Jimmy Wilde, recognized champlon of Great Britain, proved his right to world-wide supremacy in this class in a twelve round bout here to- night when he decisively outpointed Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne, Ind., aspirant to the championship. Wilde ‘was the aggressor throughout the fight with the exception of the fifth found, when Mason braced him- self and put the Englishman on the de- fensive. Two of the rounds were even, the fourth and tenth. The ring, which was 21 feet square, gave the little American plenty room to jump away from the pressing Brit- ishet. Mason. started -to bleed from the mouth early in the battie but he wore % smile of confidence while the little Briten, from the time he entered the ring seemed set and determined. Time after time, Mason wihen urged on by his enthusiasts, attempted.to break through the Britisher's guard, Lut the plucky little Briton dodged, feinted, shifted and retaliated with a “ight and left, chasing the Amer.can about the ring. After the fight, declared never in any flghlfr who w: Referee Ed Smith life had he seen e opinion that it was a very en match, but declared on the rules > the commiszion he was not at lib- srty to announce he w AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL GAMES UNSANCTIONED . warning n in the American in- dustrial A.

Call muney opened at thereby raising the hopes of those who were apprehensive that current heavy tax payments would .create stringent conditions over the week end. These hopes were dashed later,| when the fate rose steadily to 15 per cent, that quotation prevailing at the heayy close. Thé bulk of today’s dealings cent- ered again ia motors and their sub-| sidiarfes also oils, equipments rails. Extreme advances of to points ¥1 these issues were finally re- Juced or altogether dissipated, heavy telling attending’ the movements of money. Conspicuous features of the early advance and subsequent decline were General Motors, in which a 10 point gain was folliwed by a 15 1-2 point reaction, invclving a net loss of 1 1-2 points and Crucible Steel, which for- elt a substantial gain and more besides. Among other industrials and spec- lalties the swing from high to low ranged from two to six points, losses of one to three points prevailing, at the end, wheh the transportauons also ylelded. Sales amounted to 1,- 950,000 shares. In the bond market irregularity featured the trading in foreign is- sues, the Liberty group showing com- parative steadiness. Changes among domestic rails and industrials were nominal on smaller ofierings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $11,750,- 000. Old U. 8. bonds were unchang- ed on call STOCKS.

FOREIGN PRICES ADVANCE SINCE PEACE United States manufacturers are get- ting no encouragement from abroad in attempts to reduce the cost of their products. In fact, the first anniversary of the Armistice showed that the prices of the. raw materials which they are compelled to bring from other parts of the world keep-on advancing with- out the slightest reference to the ces- sation of hostilities. The Egyptian cotton grower, for ex- ample, who had seen his export prices of raw cotton increasé nearly 100 per cent during the war period, could not be persuaded that he ought to reduce his price merely, because the guns had ceased to roar, and he continued the boosting, process which had character- ized the war period with -the result that American importers of Egyptian cotton are now paying nearly 50 per cent more for that' necessity of manu- facture than at the close of the war. The jute growers of India are also demanding and receivigy today an advance of more than 50 per cent on their prices at the close of the war. Producers of goatskins in Latin Am- erica, China, India, North Africa, and Southern Europe, not content with an increase of 100 per cent during the war perjod, insisted upon a still furth- er advance in celebration of universal peace, and were in November 1919 de-, manding and getting 50 per cent more than at the termination of hostilities | in 1918; and the guantity brought into the United States goes on increasing irrespective of the advance in price. Raw silk producers on the other side of the globe, far: distant from the scenes of hostilities, were not satis- fied with an increase of 100 per cent up to the termination bf the war but calmy added 50 per cent more to the already high prices in the period bet- ween November 1918 and November tNew President Of Panama COPYRIGHT_KEVSTONE VIEW €O, W YoRK. Ernesto Lefevre, the new presl- dent of the Republic of Panama. Mr. Lefevre was formerly vice-pres- ident but has assumed the presi- dency following the resignation of Pelisario Porras. He was a student in the Lehigh University in the class of 1896. He took the mining course and served as vice-president of the Latin-. A.merican Cluh of the - University. 5 1919. The livestoek producers of South America, Australia, South Africa, and India, who have developed the “habit” of pushing up the prices of hides, whether of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, or kangaroos, have continued the advance which characterized. the' entire war period, and the average price which American importers must now pay in the country of production is' 50 per cent higher than on the day on which the whole world was cele- brating the return to peace. The figures, based upon official data, says a statement by The National City Bank of New York, illustrate the dif- ficulties under which the manufactur- érs of the United States, upon foreign as well as domestic pro- ducts for their material, have labored in their attempts to reduce the high prices which existed at the close of the war. In fact, they have found in practically every important article, abroad as well as at home, the prices not only refusing to “come down” but actually advancing since the termina- tion of the war. The average import price of raw silg, for example, brought intd the countfy in November 1919 was, as shown by official figures of the Government, $9.10 per pound as against $6.09 in November 1918 at the termination of the war, and $3.09 in the first year of the war, and yet the quantity imported in 1919 is greater than ever before and nearly twice as much as in the pre-war year. Goat- skins imported of which the price in the countries of production, chiefly Latin Amer:! China, India, ,North Africa, and Europe,.averaged 26c a pound in the year before the war, ad- ancing to an average of 54c a pound in November 1918, and an average of 82c a pound in November 1919, the in- crease in.price per pound in the one year following the war being actually greater than that of the entire war period of practically five years.
