New York, Aug. 7-Prices at the Stock
Exchange were again depressed this morn
ing, the prominent issues falling anywhere
from / g to 8 Ia per cent. The bears who
have been very successful OF late were
again heavy sellers of the Changers and
Industrials, and were confidently predict
ing lower figures. They asserted that nuui-
dations have started in earnest and that
this movement will continue for Some time
to come Holders Of stocks have sustained
severe losses, they say, and blocks Of Sc
cnrities are still hanging over the market
There were rumors of an issue OF clearing
house certificates by the clearing house
banks, and this had an adverse Influence
for the reason that such action by the
financial institutions is taken only in times
of panics. While 1T is true that holders OF
stocks were badly frightened this morning
on account OF the heay y shrinkage, it would
be an exaggeration to say that anything
like panic prevailed. Bankers generally
deprecated the talk about an issue of the
certificates referred to, but stated that
the loan committee appointed last winter
had never been discharged and can get to
work at moments notice, II occasion
warrants it. The break in the Western
stocks was credited in the room to interests
identified with the Standard Oh party.
The big losses during the first hour were:

The submarine torpedo boat and surface
torpedo boat No. 8, for the United States
nvay. arc ready for launching from the
yard Of the Columbian Iron Works at Lo-
Gust Point. Maryland.
Surface torpedo boats Nos and 2 are
nearly ready for launching, and the four
boats will prohabiy go overheard together,
making . quadruple launch. The. date
when the crafts-wilf take TO the water has
not yet been decided
Mr.. J. @. Holland, inventor of the sub
marine destroyer, states that IL expert
ments now being tried with aerial torpedo
guffs are a success, they with be placed in
the future submarine vessels.
The present boat is designed to dive urser
water and fire . torpedo into battieship's
hull The proposed aerial gun will send a
shell of explosives through the air, and
drop it on an enemy's deck or into a hos
tile fort. II both ideas-tte subrnarine and
aerial guns-proye successful. the craft Will
be the most wonderful engine OF destruc-
ton in modern warfare.
THE AERIAL GUNS
It is proposed to place aerial guns In the
bow aud the stern and this is bow they
will be operated; The boat. for instance, is
moving along the surface at a fiftecn-knot
speed. At the command, her petroleum
fires are put out, the electric engines start
ed. the smokestack and aiz shaft drawn
inside the vessel and covered up.
Her bueyancy is overcome by admitting
water to tanks, wo horizontal rudders at
the stem are inclined upward, and the So
foot steel cigarshaped craft dives like a
porpoise. She runs three feet or thirty
feet below the surface. as desired. but is
built to stand the pressure at depth Of
seventy feet.
A drag, geared to the rudder, compels the
vessel to keep a straight course She has
Il constant tendency to rise, and Is kept
below by tile horizontal rudders on her
stern. Should she accidentally sink there
are automatic arrangements governed by
/ the oneside water pressure that empty the
water tanks and compel the vessel to rise
10 the surface.
1t Is impossible, Mr.. Holland says. from
experience, to see or use compass under
water. When approaching an enemy the
vessel rises to within three feet OF the sur
face. and a revolving looking glass is raised
above the water. This reflects through a
tube all the surroundings down into the
boat
When the range of O hostile fort is OBJ
tanned the bow OF the boat is allowed to
come on level with the surface OF the
water. barely exposing the mouth OF the
| aerial gum. The bo1y OF the gun is inside
the boat.
