WATER IN THE IOWA.
AN OPEN VALVE OR sEAc0CK CAUSES
TROUBLE on THE SHIP.

An accident occurred On the ba;tlc-ship Iowa
yesterday in Drydock NJ at the Brooklyn
Navy yard the extent OF which could not be
learned last night on account Of the retIcence
OF the officers at the yard It reported
that the engine rooms Of the Iowa were partly
Hooded by the entrance 81 water through an
open sencock or cocks "a the ship was being
hcaied
As nearly as could be learned from the stories
current last night the officials got ready TO float
the Iowa IN the dlydock where she has been
for the last three or four days and the valves
In the caisson at the end OF the drydoch were
opened. The water poured In through the
valves. and at least one Of the seacc cks. or in
lection valves in the iowas hull was either open
or insecurity fastened SO that the force from
the outside pushed the cock-valve back and the
water gushcd into the hull OF the vessel.
As soon as those on board the Iowa discovered
THAT water was entering the ship signal was
given 20 clcse the cassop valves. ana this was
done with as great promptness as possible
Meanwhile there was sufficient water In the
dock to enter the engine-room OF the battle
ship. as II impossible 10 promptly force the
cock shut while the water was going in. AS
soon as possible the cocks were closed and m
examination made Of the damage. Just what
THIS amounts 10 VIII not lie known until TO-
day.
II ia said that not enough water was let into
the dock to come anywhere near floating the
ship and that she Is resting on her keel blocks
the same she before the water was
turned
The pumping Of the water out OF the dock Is a
matter OF only a short time, and the officers
seen would not admit that any accident had
taken place. one Of them said that limited
quantity OF water had been let into the dock 10
test the joints of the Iowa's hull. but this
somewhat remarkable explanation Of what took
place WIS not accepted by those who had inside
information Of what Is going on at the yard
This accident To the Iowa. while apparently
not serious. recalls the similar accident to the
Texas in December. 1896 BY which the ship
was sunk while ynG peacefully at the Cob
Dock wall In the Navy Yard. This was caused

condenser, and the engine-rooms OF the ship
Vera flooded. causing the vessel to heel over
slightly to one side and settle down into the
soft mud The ship was not seriously damaged
and after the hole had been closed the water
In her hull was pumped out ard she was thor
oughly cleaned.
At one time yesterday afternoon II was fatty
denied that any accident Of the sort had oc-
CURED 70 the Iowa. but later the admission was
made that there had heen a slight influx OF
water. which would do no damage and cause no
trouble beyond delaying the floating OF the ship.

HELPS THE MARKETS.
Trade Improved by the Certainty Of
the BOttlinE Up of the Span
ish SQUADRON.

New York, June 11.-R. g. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: 1.-The cer-
tainty that the Spanish Atlantic fleet Is
imprisoned and powerless to do harm has
helped to make the tone Of the markets
more confident. Every step of progress
during the week which has looked toward
an early termna ton Of the struggle has
been reflected in the market and In lower
rates for money. All Industries have felt
the uplifting influence. In finances the
growing anxiety to lend on even long ex-
change at low rates in place Of shipments
OF gold to this country begins to accumu-
late standing credit In favor Of the United
States. A stronger situation II would be
difficult to describe. Men have been buy
Ing and selling stocks with some blind
ness, though the course OF events has all
the time warranted higher market. Other
countries have yet to pay in some way an
enormous balance to ;he United States on
merchandise transactions. and it will save
spectators much trouble and loss to keep
the fact in mind.
Men talk as IL wheat had gone down
out OF sight, but the collapse Of May spec
ulation has only made 1t more evident that
the outside world requires nearly II not
quite all the wheat this country can spare.
Last week Atlantic exports, flour included,
were 4,206.20 bushels. against l.G34 .602 last
year. and Pacific exports were 25S.2l3
against 1922 last year, and It Is close to
the end Of the season. Over 0,GO0 900 BUSH
els wheat has already been exported. and
almost 200. 0O0O G0 bushels corn, 4,134, 800 BUSH
els during the past week, against 1.7S7, 0s5
last year. and the market is justified in
feeling that those who have gone SO far
beyond all precedent in defying current re-
ports are entitled to pay for 1t.
Failures for the week have been 203 in
the United States. against 2G2 last year. and
II In Canada. against 50 last year."
