long time would be necessary. ly working at the
greatest speed. out vessels OF the type
mentioned. and firm has promised that -FOUR
ships could be built IN from six 20 eight months.
Mr. Platt told a Tribune reporter yesterday ihat
the American Government has long been aware
that the Navy was weak In this class o. vessel In
other navies there Is a regular ratio between the
number OF battle-ships and torpedo-boats and
destroyers. AS one OF the former has been
built certain number OF the latter are added in
order 20 protect IT, But In the American Navy
the number OF batte-shps IS out OF all proportion
10 the torpedo-boats and destroyers the latter In
particular being needed. Every effort Is being
made at the present time TO obtain vessels Of this
class and II is probable that in addition 10 those

HEAVY DECLINE IN STOCKS

The wa- feeling was particularly pronounced
In Wall Street yesterday, and the result was
heavy decline in stocks. Following lower prices
recorded in London for American securities. the
opening prices he-e ware an average OF !
per cent below the closing prices cf Friday.
The opening prices were also. with few excep-
lions. the highest prices OF the day In the TWO
hours OF business on the stock Exchange the
movement Of prices was almost uninterruptedy
downward. and the closing prices generally.
were the lowest or within a fraction OF the

an unusually large scale for Saturday. being
in round Numbers $4,000 shares. CT within
1900 shares OF the most active Saturday with

in the dealings. but there was constant
pressure Of stocks on the market. and no sup
port was provided. The market was almost
wholly in the hands Of room traders and other
professional operators. and the whole aim
seemed 70 DO TO close long accounts and create
short interests. which implied that spectators
