LIQUIDATION WAS IN ORDER

New York. March S.-zThe cotton market
failed to improve more than one point adj
vance,, secured on the opening call in the
face of bullish cables, more or less bad
weather in the south and the list of fay-
orable factors which have been the stock
in trade OF the bull interest so long, in
Guiding the talk of wet lands, backward
planting, good trade in cotton cloths, orders
ahead at most spinning centers, firm south
ern markets. etc.
This failure was due 10 a more or less
steady stream of liquidation orders said to
be in good part from Wall street, although
the selling soon extended. Later it was
claimed that certain Wall street people
were buying again, but as a rule liquidation
was the order of the. day. The selling
pressure was chiefly directed against Au-
gust and the nearer positions
The market closed steady at a net de-
cline of 5@7 points on near positions, while

WAS A DULL DAY
ON WALL STREET
But Stocks Grew More Active
Toward the Close.
INTEREST IN THE COOLERS
Considerable Money Said to Be Head
ing Toward New York to Take,Ad- n
vantage of the Firmer Tone for
Both Call and Time.

New York, March S.-The stock market
was dull most of the day except at tho
closing, when there was considerable ac-
tivity. The interest largely conferred in the
coalers, which made some handsome adj
vances, and a number of the specialties
went up over point while fractional adj
-yances were the rule in many other stocks.
The published report of a combination of
practically all the coalers was the ground
for the strength in those properties. Much
interest attached to the regular dividend
in Sugar The market waited until 1t was
announced, and then moderate activity
appeared.
Sugar, after opening higher and then
losing more than the earlier gain, rose
obeut points for the day. The large pay
ment which the government was to make
to Southern Pacific the claim allowed
by congress lent strength to. that prop
erty. The expectation of favorable legis-
lation lifted Consolidated Gas some
points, there being a sympathetic rise in
other local stocks, including Metropolitan
and Brooklyn Transit, which were Lo about
half as much.
The stagnant tone which prevailed the
greater Ddfl OF The SeSSlOn WIN HQclut-
tons of only Is or SO was dispeled during
the final dealings, when. the coalers. were
marked up, and there was a sympathetic
rise elsewhere. Lackawanna and Reading

vance of each. Among the standard
stocks st. Paul gained a point. Money
was slightly easier today and closed at
22@3 per cent.
Considerable money was said to be head
ing this way from the interior to take adj
vantage of the recent firmer tone In money
both for call and time. The discount mar
ket also worked closer today, rates Tor

The closing tone of the stock market was

Twenty Thousand Applicants for the
One Hundred and One Vacancies.

Washington, March S.-The president will
announce the appointments of 1M second
lieutenants, whom he is authorized by the
reorganization bill to appoint to the regular
army in a day or two and certainly before
he leaves Washington next Monday for the
south. He will make none of the appoint
ments of the volunteer officers before his
return, except perhaps, those of a few of
the general officers, taking the whole mat
ter under deliberate consideration during
his absence.
= These second Heutenants represent all of
the places in the regular army, so far as
the line Is concerned, that are at the dis
posal of the president Otherwise all of the
line places, colonies, majors, captains. first
lieutenants and most Of the second lieuten-
ants are already filed even for full army
of $1,000 men from the regular establish
ment.
For these 101 positions the press of APP
:plicants has been. enormous. 1t was said
at the war department this morning that
no less than 20 o09 applications are already
on file and the number Is being added to
every day. To-day many senator's and
representativ remaining in the city called
to make further applications. The law
limits the appointments to persons between
the ages of Fl and 81 years, yet many of
the applicants have taken no account of
this absolute limitation and there are many
4S years. old among them.

The Speediest Yachts That
Ever Cot the Waves.
Written for the Sunday Standard.

Written for the Sunday Standard.
New York June 5--The coming con-
test for the yachting supremacy of the
world will be the most interesting of
all the interesting events that have
done so much to prove the superiority
of our boats over those of the British
yachtsmen. Both sides are confident of
winning, as is usual with all trials of
skill or strength. In fact, so certain is
Sir Thomas Upton, the owner of the
challenger Shamrock that in the latter
he has boat calculated to give our Co
lumbia the closest run that ever yacht
had in a race, that he has personally
superintendent the selection of his rae
ing crew, the two boats being as nearly
equal in point of speed qualities as can
be- the issue of the race will depend al
together upon the seamanship of the
captain and sailors, and the manner in
which the vessel is handled. In other
words, that this is to be test of the
sailing skill of the two nations rather
than of the racing qualities of the lit
tie flyers.
The crew of the Shamrock consist of
So men, of whom %, including Captain
Wringo, hail from the River Colne. The
equal number and the others are from
Exmouth and Southampton. The rae
ing crew that is to compete with our
sailors will, therefore, be strictly rep
resentative British one. All the men
selected are the very best seamen to be
found in the British Isles. More than
a score have been at one time or an
other commanders of racing yachts and
several have sailed in previous races
for the American cup. So that the
crew of the Shamrock is largely made
up of veterans who know the American
course as We ,ur own sailors do,
and therefore advantage Of sailing
in home waters Will not be ours, and
the challengers cannot plead in the
