Fractionally Higher Opening in Sym

INVESTMENT DEMAND FOR BONDS
Large Interests Operative at All
Points of Merit.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Disp itch to TIE Evening Star.

Special DisI itch to TIE Evening Star.
NEW YORK. August l1-Opening prices
this morning were fractionaly higher, in
sympathy with London, and reflected stu
further the growing confidence in a perma-
nently higher range of values. London was
favorably impressed with the progress OF
the peace negotiations and was disposed to
share the local confidence in .he future of
the speculative markets
The investment demand in the bond mar
ket was renewed on a large scaIe. The
buying of conservative Investment iater-
ests made a good impression on the gen
eral market and inspired purchases in all
parts of the list. The high-prioed dividend
paying properties, the reorganized issues
and majority Of the industrial group
moved up under the impetus of a general
demand.
Traders forced occasional reactions by lib
eral profit-taking, but beyond this desire to
sell in the hope Of buying again there was
little stock seeking market.
The market gave every evidence of being
founded upon a solid basis and of moving
with the current of commercial betterment
From the increased volume of individual
transactions il was plainly evident that
large interests were operative at all points
OF actual or suspected merit.
The buying of the Northern and Irnton
racine issues was especially confident and
large amounts CT these securities changed
hands at top prices. The earnings of both
properties are upon a firm dividend basis
ana recent Improvement in the stock mar
ket mas Eot fully exhausted the actual bus
iness advances in their territory
Inc day of the long-priced shares has
nequenuy been heralded but at last II
seems to have dawned in Wall street The
routine news of the day was generally
favorable, especially such incidents as had
10 DO with the early ending of the Spanish
war. The prospect of an early settlement
OF the details incident to the overthrow of
one government and the establishment of
another cannot fail to add to the influence
OF routine events.
In ali parts of the speculative community
there Is expressed a confidence in a broad
er market and an increase in breadth at
TINS Juncture means an increase in height
reactions are expected and among ali ra-
uonaI operators are desired. The progress
upward may not be continuous. but there IL
little reason for anticipating any material
delay. An accident is essential to any sig
nllcant resolution I'm sentiment. Pending
one, the large corporations, with idle
surplus funds, will compete with the thrifty
and speculative individuals in buvtnR Sc
curities which yield more than the call
money rate.

SPEED OF NEW BATTLE SHIPS
The Department Will Not Defer the Re-
oeption of Bids.
Plans for Faster Vessels Prepared by
Sent to the Big Builders.

Although the Navy Department has con-
cluded that even in the interest of better
speed for the three new battle ships to be
built it cannot afford 10 defer the reception
of bids beyond the period fixed in the orig
inal advertisement, bidders will still have
an opportunity to base estimates upon plans
for battle ships superior in speed to the
Illinois type, which formed the basis of
the original advertisements.
Engineer-in-Chief Melville has prepared
eleven separate and distinct sets of plans
whereby higher speed can be realized in
the new ships than the Illinois type pos
sesses and these plans will be sent to the
great shipbuilding firms which are likely
to compete, in order that they may submit
bids based on them as well as upon the
original Illinois designs. AS is usual in
such cases, the advertisement permits ship
builders to submit their bids on the basis
OF their own plans or upon those of the de-
partment, so that the way is open for them
to make use of the these additional plans if
they see fit and the knowledge that the
department will give preference in the
award TO the bidder promising the highest
speed will doubtless influence them to ac-
cept some of these plans in their calcula-
tions.
Speed Contemplated in the Plans.
The eleven plans contemplate speeds
ranging from 16ta to is knots Two of them
provide for carrying loo tons of coal the
same amount as the Illinois will carry
Two OF them change the present arrange
ment of bulkheads, with the result of Civ
ing speed of ia knots and raising the
radius of action at 10 knots speed from
5.452 miles to G, 460 in one case and to 5643
in another. This is achieved by some i'm
provernents in the engines and by the adop-
ton OF a different type of boilers
one design reduces the coal capacity from
1,20o to $50 tons, but the radius of action
is still in excess of the Illinois, being $500
miles, while provision is made for a maxi
mum speed of Is knots in an emergency.
Changes in Internal Arrangements.
In all of these designs except two material
changes will have to be made in the in
ternal arrangements of the ship affecting
principally the engines, boilers and coal
spaces. In none of the plans would the
total weight assigned for the boilers and
engines in the Illinois class, namely, $3.50
tons, be exceeded. Two of the plans were
based upon a displacement OF H. I57 tons.
an increase of 551 tons over the Illinois
design. 1t is said that the reason for the
decision of the board of bureau chiefs not
to extend the time for the reception of bids
was not based upon any disapproval of
these plans, but was brought about through
The necessity of returning a categorical an
swer to the Secretary's query whether it
would delay the building of the ships to
amend the original plans at this stage The
engineer-in-chief did not believe that it
thought otherwise. and as the Secretar,
regarded time as the most important ele-
ment, the matter has assumed its present
shape.

state superintendent of public instruction
were put in nomination. The names pre-
