This was followed by decline or nearly cents and the pit was full of ru- mors that the selling movement would carry prices cents lower. But It later developed that brokers usually employed by Letter bought and shorts covered to some extent. The feeling near the close became better and sentiment was not cutie so bearish. The crop outlook has not di- unfinished one iota and chances are on further bulge, that a new line of shorts will be put out.

PLUNGED INTO PERlLOUS WATERS
Atlantic City Life-Savers Rescue
Three Young Men.

Atlantic City. y. J., May 6.-The gov
ernment life saving crew about noon
today saved from drowning three
young men who had been caDsized on
the inlet bar. The youths were Will
liam Jeffries, Clarence Smith and Will
liam Adams, all residents of this city.
They had attempted to run the smoth-
er of the brakers on the bar, but were
rot skilled enough to handle their boat
in such perilous waters. The life-sav-
ing crew saw the craft overturn, and
speedily launched their boat, as it
meant certain death to the struggling
youths if left in the cold and .benumb-
ing water any length of time.
The accident was Witnessed not only
by the crew. but by number of visit
ors who happened 10 be on the beach
at the time, and they were thrilled with
excitement in watching the race
against death. 0Thcrc was a mile to
row, and before the distance was COW
cred one of the trio, all of whom had
luckily succeeded in grasping the up
turned craft, was noticed to release
his hold and sink from sight, but his
companions caught him and supported
the almost inanimatc body until the
life-savers reached their side. The

held out much longer, as one Of them

ing the youths were taken to the life

administered shortly aftcrward, were
able to leave the station. Their boat
