fs.tirtress Of some OF the plates that

rsstatements have been sent out by cor
RESPONDENTS al Washington. In its issue
~ Sunday. the New York Herald stated
That Whatever Joss there might be would

ri-e and simple. The local snipbuilding

Every plate shipped 10 the yard from the

The Washington correspondents also
erred in the statement that the flaws In
tha plates were discovered by Constructor
Woodward On the other hand. the de-
f,ts were found by employees of the
str-var1 after the plates had been passed
ty government inspectors at the Car

matter was reported 70 Mr.. Woodward
and he in turn. reported II to the depart

seen that no blame whatever attaches 10

NEW YORK, December 9.-Although
speculation at the Stock Exchange, with
the sole exception Of Sugar, was again
tame to-day, the movements in the mar
ket were not wholly devoid of interest.
There were spells of weakness, owing
mainly TO the introduction of resolutions
in Congress with the view of recogniz-
ing Cuban independence. The traders,
or the strength of the news from Wash
ington. sold stocks at intervals, but they
made very little impression on prices,
the tendency of which in the main was
upward. The decisive movement Of the
day occurred shortly after 1 o'clock,
when Sugar was suddenly taken in hand
and advanced from 1l5 IA to III 3-S. the
covering of short contracts contributing
largely 10 the rise. The bears in other
parts Of the list then attempted to close
their contracts, and an advance OF Is
to 11-S from the lowest was recorded in
the Changers. Reading, Western Union
and Chicago Gas. The last-named was
weak early in the day, and sold off a
point.
General Electric was noticeably strong
throughout. II sold up TO SS7-S, and
closed at 30 IS, a net gain of SIS per
cent Prominent houses were buyers OF

pany will be awarded the contract 10

Bay state Gas jumped IL, to Il, and

Is revived that the company has effect

with connecting lines. and that its
managers have been promised a conslde
