NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 20-There was a halt to-
day in the recent upward movement, partially due
TO realizing saes.to heavy decrease in the volume
OF foreign purchases and possibly desire the part
OF the bull clique let prices go down few points
with the view OF increasing the short interest in
the market. There marked pressure to
sell, except perhaps in sugar and the grangers.
The hrst-named stock given first, and the
grangers led in the main list in the reaction. Dur
ing the first hour OF business prices advanced but
in the second hour there sharp selling of sugar
here on runors that insiders liquidating and
the shares took downward turn, the greater num-
Der OF the shares traded in participating in the
cession The depression continued until checked
in the early afternoon, but around delivery hour
there were partial recoveries speculation becom-
ing decidedly irregular in the final dealings.
At the lowest point to-day the decline from the
high prices OF the morning were 1533 in New Jersey
guaranteed and rs in the other shares which
Joined in the downward movement. Raj
lies in the later trading lessened the
loss after action. There was a number of
shares, notably the specialties, which were
strongly held throughout and which showed
gains on the day, including: Oregon Improvement
33s; Pullman, 2; Edison Electric of y. V and y. Y.
Central preferred, ! per cent Distling was well
supported and made gain of Us per cent on yes
ferdavs closing. The trust receipts were dealt in
for the first time and sold l per cent above the
stock. owing TO the fact that the first 5-per-cent
lnstallment OF the assessment under the reorgani-
Zaton plan had TO be paid before the issue of the
trust receipts. The market was unsettled at the
close
The trading in bonds was somewhat irregular
but prices generally recorded advance on the
day. The aggregate sales were $2,414,000

The Annual Race Between Yale and
Harvard.
WILLING TO Bet 3 TO | ON TEE BLUE
The Crimson's Supporters Profess
Confidence.
ROMIS E OF FAST TIME

NEW LONDON, Conn. June 2S.-The an
nual boat race between crews of Yale and
Harvard Universities over the Thames
course is to take place this afternoon. 1t
is to be the last race under the ten-year
agreement to row over this course, and
may be the last for some time to come.
IF so, the hotelkeepers and liverymen of
New London may take some of the blame
for that result to themselves. The specta-
tors here today are not as numerous as
in past years. and the interest is less keen
than it has been. Yale is the favorite with
bettors. A brother of Yale's stroke of last
year-Johnson-is said to have here poo
of $4,000 which is to be put on Yale II
possible, at 3 to 1. A Columbia College
man is offering 200 to IS on Yale, though
he says he would give 500 to see Harvard
win.
The steam yacht Dora, belonging to Mr..
Ford of Boston, has arrived here for the
use of G. H. Rives of Oxford, who will be
referee of the race today. In the harbor is
a cloud of small sail craft and not a few
steam and sail yachts. The race is sched-
uled to start at pm.
Shut out from sunlight, filled with drift
ing fog and saturated with clinging mist,

this place on the morning of the day fixed
for the annual contest seemed shut off from
all connection with the outside world.
Even the old ferryman, the only connect
ing link between Gales Ferry and Mont
vile, the nearest railway station, could
not be found, and the dripping telegraph
wires looked as if no electricity could be
in them. The robins, which are usually SO
plentiful in the cherry trees, were absent,
and the only sound which came in from
the outside world was the occasional puff
fing of some tug or locomotive away out
in the mist.
At o'clock there was but slight appear
ance of change The rain ceased, but there
was every appearance that the let-up was
but temporary
Every brook was this morning a river,
pouring volumes of muddy water into the
Thames Instead of the familiar dark blue
surface, the river took on yellow color.
At the quarters of the rival crews there
was not the slightest change in the daily
routine, excepting the absence of the hard
work that has been the feature of the
past days. There Will be no more rowing
of moment until the race. Instead, the
men will be given a thorough coaching
and practice in starting.
1t seems as if nothing can disturb Bob
Cocks happy air or Capt Armstrong;
smile. These men seem not whit bother
ed about the weather Coach Cook this
morning reported the Yale men in good
condition, and he and they have all the
confidence of the most enthusiastic fol-
lowers of the blue in Yale victory. Then,
too, the freshet promises a possible equal
Ing of the record of 2O.1o, and from the

with Chinese lanterns, which gave to the
scene very pleasing effect. Refreshments
were served.
