fred only five shots. The ships
steamed to within 5000 yards of the
forts and fired with deadly accuracy.
The little Suwanee sent shots straight
into the foundations. The Texas fin
ighed the business, two 12-inch shells
reducing the fort TO picturesque ruins.
The Marblehead turned her attention

London, June 1S.-It is announced
that Great Britain will not hold the
usual annual naval maneuvers this
wear. This has caused much specula-

The officials Of the admiralty decline
10 give reasons, but say it is not be-
cause of the lack of coal, as ample sup

what tack Wall street would take. This
was sufficient to admonish the bears
who sold in yesterday afternoons slump
to cover their contracts. The covering
of the shorts was coupled with some buy

very sharp advances all around. There
was only a slight reaction at the close.
The market was highly speculative all
day. In the railroad list the grangers

money markets had n salient effect on
the security markets, Although rates
for time money and commercial paper
remained firm, call money was to be had
on the exchange at per cent. The
resultant relief of the London market
from the pressure for gold accompanied
by rise in Berlin exchange on London
gave promise of easier money there and
relieved the situation in Paris as well.
The result was cessation of the heavy
liquidation for Paris account The sell

been large for both Paris and London
