New York. Nov, 4.—James J. Jef-| fries is still the champion heavyweight' pugilist of the world. After twenty five rounds of fierce fighting between the boilermaker and Thomas Sharkey' .Inst night, Jeffries got the decision on points, For a moment the crowd that: thronged the C'on^y Island Sporting' clubhouse could not believe that Ref eree (ieorge Slier liad so decided, but wheji it rc'alitied that the big boiler makrr had won it went wild with de light, for Jeffries was easily the favor ite. He hud Sharkey very weak and tired in the last round and was trying hard to finish him when his left glove came off. As the glove fell to the floor he punched tlie sailor with his right just ns the gon^ ended the ter rific battle between the two greatest giants that ever met in an American prize fight. So fierce was the struggle that Tom O'Uourke announced that two of Sharkey's ribs were brplcen. Sharkey was the aggressor from the start. He opened up the fighting in each round without ceremony and kept Insisting on fighting every inch of the way. Jeffries let him have his way for the most part superbly defeiftling himself, and ufter the sailor had tiled himself out took the initiative and was after his man hammer and tongs nt the finish. He freshened at the last and was strong and fast, while the sail or had hard work to go the distance. Jeffries wins, a fortune. The grtte is very large, few vacant seats" appearing in a house that sells out at something over ¥100,000. Of this amount the lighters get (!G 2-3 per cent 75 per cent of (his goes to Jfeffries, 25 to Sharkey, tjie loser. .At' 0 48, after the close of the pre JiiiiinliVv, Sharkey followed bv Jeffries, entered the building, and the crowd arose ns one man to yell for the giants. Several miuutes elapsed before any movement was made to get the men Intd the ring, and the cro\yd showed its iniL'Wience. It had not long to wait,'Irowever, liut the glare from the mut'ostope picture lights was bad and proved to be doubly hard on the fight ers. In spite of'fhc'stOrjii^fhere was hard ly a vacant in the enormous barn when, on The sivqlt? of 10, Sharkey en tered the ring. The Irish sailor was greeted with wiUl cheers' long pro longed and lit elhnbed quieltly under the fierce white I'eat that b^ht down upon t! linr. lie 'Wore The' green crocheted trunks made by his mother in old Ireland and a belt of red, white and blue.

His appear ance surprised his' admirers, for his body was covcred with red blotches. All the fighters noticed the terrific heat, and McGrath put a wet sponge on Sharkey's head to protect him. Timekeeper Riley Madden and Qeorge jSiler had entered the ring,' and they, too, felt the heat. While the men were waiting Jim Corbett and B6i Fitzsim saons each challenged the winner. At 10:13 O'Rourke fastened a pair of 'bright orange-coiored gloves on the s&ilor, and Tommy Ryan at the same time was putting op a pair o? dull ecru shaded ones on the hands of the boiler maker,. Three minuses later the men received their instructions from Refe ree Siler, and at 10:16 the clang of the sonorous gong started the great fight. Story or the Fight.

New York, Nov. 4.—(By Associated Press.)—After the Sharkey mid Jef fries bout was over last night, the pug ilists were taken to separate Turkish bath establishments. With two broken ribs and a lame shoulder, Sharkey was willing to be assisted in his movements. While being rubbed down he said he would have, put Jeffries out if he had not wrenched his shoulder in the eigh teenth round. Jeffries remained at the bathing rooms until noon, when he set out- for Philadelphia to visit relatives. The. champion seemed anything but pleased over the result of the fight. He expected a much easier task. There was a big lump on his cheek bone and a slight abrasion on his forehead bc ttvecn.the eyebrows, and the skin of his nose was batlly lacerated. His left arm, which he strained while he was trnining, is now almost, useless. It bothered him exceedingly during the last round of the fight. THE AMTCHKIXVILLB ARRESTS.

Cooler weather has been welcomed by the re tail trade of the country and some stimulus lias already been noted, alike to dlstrj'butiou and to the confidence of distributors. In some lines of wholesale trade, no tably dry goods, there has been some quieting pf defnpnd, without, however, any perceptlble effeot being exercised upon values of- textiles, which, indeed, are more firmly held than ever. It has, indeed-, .been a .record period in. the wQol trade,- sales at leading centers having exceeded all records for the week, and the strength alike of the raw and-tbe manufactured material is most marked.- Cotton goods are also strong, partly, on .the extraordinary demand and. partly because of the strength of the raw material, imparted by small receipts and growing confidence in ul timate light yields. The great.cereals have been rather du&thlfi week, with, alight variation in mm mmm price, and the markets appear to have conjf to a standstill pending new de developments. Some improvement is noted in the ocean freight situation, however,4the high rates, in fact, having tended to bring jheir own cure. In the iron and steel trade strength of values is perhaps the most notable feature, but activity has been transfer red-from the finished branch of the trade to the market for pig irom which has been active at full prices.
