apparent. The London auction sale
opened September 10, with prices about
10 per cent higher on crossbreds and
1O015 per cent higher on fine merinos.
This has started values on this side and
dealers are ready to buy any lots that
appear to be below the market. Sales
in Boston for the week were in excess
OF 100000 pounds, including about
100000 pounds foreign. OF this wool
sold about 100000 pounds were Of ter
rttory, Oregon ana California grades,
J IOoO, 900 pounds unwashed fleeces, 1,5OO,-

Mondays break was followed on
Tuesday by a sense OF relief. The drop
cline Of last week, had made many
stocks appear fairly cheap; the pardon
of Dreyfus was construed rs a hopeful
relief from the dangers Of French poll
tics; the African question seemed at
the moment somewhat less warftkeiS,
London was therefore more hopeful
and the local money market showed
some abatement Of Its stfingency. Un-
der these circumstances, the stock
market recovered tone; Mondays break
was construed as culninatlon OF the
adverse influence, and between large
purchases to cover Shorts" and free
buying by strong operators on long ac-
count the days business summed up
100000 shares, with advances upon ITO
listed stocks ranging from to 8
points and averaging 2HS, while the
declines were entirely nominal. Wed.
nesday's experience dealt roughly with
the hopes excited by Tuesdays recov-

ditions, 1t soon became apparent that

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-10-21

NEW YORK, DOT, 2O,-Through wild
and hoary seas, in a breeze that ap-
preached the dignity Of a gale, the gal
liant sloop Columbia today vanquished
the British challenger Shamrock by
minutes and IS seconds, actual time
and G minutes and % seconds, correct
ed time, thus completing the series for
Americas cup with a magnificent
rough-weather duel and glorious
Yankee victory.
For the eleventh time the attempt
Of foreigner TO wrest from America
the yachting supremacy OF the world
has failed, The trophy won by the old
schooner America IS years ago is still
ours--a monument 20 the superiority
Of American seamanship and Ameri-
can naval architecture and stand
ing challenge to yachtsmen Of all ma
tions.
The intrinsic value Of the reward
which hundreds OF thousands Of dol
lars were expended to secure is small
simply an Anticipated piece of silver
ware which Queen Victoria offered to
the best sailing ship in the world In
the early days Of her reign, but around
It cluster previous memories Of an un-
broken American triumph and the
honor of the mastery in the noblest of
sports.
10 Sir Thomas Upton, whose name
is now added to the list Of defeated
asprants for the honor of carrying the
cup back across the Atlantic, the fail
ure was a crushing 61ow, T'ut like the
true sportsman that he is, the sting OF
defeat has left no bitterness and with
undaunted courage he intlmates thai
he may be back with better boat t
try again.
