such a large crew is required on the
yachts. No one without experience can ap-
surely and rapidly a sail spread such as
the Columbia carries
1t is when sailing against the wind that
such vessels as the Columbia become flyers
as compared with the others. 1t Is then that
their lines count. and it is for this that the
designers and builders have spent years
and years in experimenting and the owners
have spent millions of money in building
1t Is for work Of this class that the vessels
are made to draw so much water. Sailing
against the wind, or lacking" involves q
peculiar principle of mechanics. Here the
wind is pushing one way, and In order to
overcome this force and to prevent the YES
sci from being driven backward, a proper
tionately large surface must be presented

Paine. Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter


 By Private Wire to Paine Murphy & Co.,
 Birmingham, April 1.-The opening was excited and active, with pressure to sell industrial stocks Iron and Steel securities being especially weak. The grangers were irregular, Burlington and St. Paul being steady, but Rock Island was dull. The coal stocks were inactive and steady in price. During the second hour declines ran into forced liquidation. Commission houses threw over a good deal of stocks on account of exhausted margin and there were many sales as a result Of stop orders, particularly in the Flower stocks. Some large traders hammered the market for turns on short side, large operators in number of cases advising buying where buyers could pay for stocks or give strong margins, claiming that the selling the result Of a bad scare which is not justified by facts. There was much scale buying in specialties. Shrewd traders look for further recession in prices on account of liquidation so far today, but generally predict better mar ket in a few days. A favorable bank state ment is looked for tomorrow. The closing prices show no substantial improvements from the low figures. Easing up in money rates in the late afternoon induced sharp rally. The railways and leading indus trials showed in the upward movement.

APATHY SHOWN IN
 COTTON DEALINGS
Due to Continued Contradicted Reports Concerning the Crop
THE MARKETOP OPENED STEADY
And After a Slight Advance Reaction Set in and Prices Receded-Fore- casts Held Out Encouragement
 to the Bear Faction.

New York April 7.-Very little interest WAS manifested in cotton futures either by professionals or outside investors toaay.
 This apathy was, as during the earlier part of the week due chiefly to indefinite and continued contradictory news concern ing the progress of the crop operations and the condition of the plant which were out of the ground Weather news was also conflicting. while English cables noted more or less hesitation in tRe future market.
 Our market opened steady at an advance of to points, this improvement following the appearance of few southern buying orders and quite buiish initial English cables. Cables later proved less encourage ing, which, with a withdrawal of New Or leans support, together with reports of failure in Wall street. caused a reaction to last nights figures The sensational phases of the stock market itself attracted con- siderable individual interest among the cot ton trade, but otherwise made no impress sion. Light to killing frosts were again re- ported in the southwestern states and in the old portions of the belt preparations were being retarded by rains
 The forecasts held out some encourage ment to the bear faction, however, clearer conditions being indicated although frosts were promised in the northern portion of the belt for tonight The crop movement Was slightly smaller than anticipated, the weeks changes in the statistical situation were pretty much as reported, and infor- nation from southern spot markets were much the same as that of the past few days. The market closed steady, net un- changed to 3 points higher.
