A NOVEL TROOP SHIP

Representative Kerr of Ohio has in- troduced sat the Navy Department F. A. Knapp of Ottawa, an inventor of the roller-boat, whose fame for his ingeni- ous and apparently practical method Of navigating the water is not confined to the Dominion of Canada MT. Knapp has come to Washington to send a naval expert to Canada and inspect the large roller-boat which he is now ope- rating successfully in Toronto harbor. MT Knatp claims that he can build a roller-boGt 200 feet high in three months which would be an ideal troop ship. He would have it capable of car rying SO,e00 men, and asserts that it would be much faster than the ships that now. travel the ocean.
 MT. Knapp said of his proposed boat yesterday: Drawing little water. such a boat could get close inshore. and would nof need to enter any particular port. but could land troops at any point on the shores of Cuba The boat. too. would carry 60,0O0 tens of freight, and could be used as coal boat. With 6o,0oo tons of coal on board the roller boat would be moving coal station Tor the fleet. Both ends of the boat could be armed with guns so that an enemy could not capture it''-Washing- ton Post

 A local circular says of Wool Locally there is nothing doing in Wool. At Boston business is spasmodic and limited in character peculiar feature of the market is that growers not free sellers for the present This is particularly the in the Western states, and holds good to a certain extent all through Oregon and Washington, where shear ing is pretty well over, but growers seem to have faith in a late season. the result of which is that spectators and dealers do not meet with much success in trading.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, June 21.-The stock market to- day gave renewed evidence of the general dis position among important financial interests to restrict confident operations until developments in the war situation, more stability to the grain market and a clearer perception to the future of the money market materialize. The an- nouncement of the Baltimore and Ohio reorgan- ization plan, which involves the distribution of securities in excess of S200 Goo GOO and the formation of underwriting syndicate to pro- vide sS0, 00o cash to carry out the immediate provisions of the plan, augurs well for the confidence of its projectors in the immediate tendency of the money market. Preparations looking to the disbursements of enormous sums in connection with the July dividend and inter est payments are now being made. The general temper of speculation to-day was hesItating during the greater part of the forenoon owing to the vigorous efforts of the bears to precipi- tate weakness in the general market by con- centratng their efforts against the high-priced speclalties with view of disIodging long stock These efforts were rewarded by substantial de- clines in Sugar. Peoples Gas and Metropolitan Street Railway. The granger group yielded sympathetically with the break h wheat, but the remainder of the list we'll supported and losses were small.
 The feverishness Of the leaders dominated the speculation to less extent until a dis position on the part of the London opera tors to absorb a sprinkling of the international favorites, coupled with manifest support to the standard shares at succeeding levels. served to check the re3ctionary tendency, and values moved slowly upward with the ultimate results of the days operations showing slight frac- tioIldl chanSes 1aNorlng elther side.
 The bond market was fairly active. but ex- hibited irregularity. Some individual tran sections of note were made, including a block of S20eOO0 Union Pacific Is at 97. The total sales were s2, ,2S0, ,00o
 Quotations for Government securities were unchanged on call except an improvement of 1s per cent in the old 4s registered.
