The news yesterday was all of a most
encouraging nature. There has been no
day recently that produced so many cheer
full matters affecting the stock market.
A million of gold is coming from Europe.
and another million from Australia 1t is
extremely probable that these first impor-
tations are the forerunners of a consider
able flow of the metal in this direction.
The earnings statements of the railways
for the third week of September began to
come in, and were all most favorable, in
Guiding that of st. Paul, which added
$50, GOO to its already immense increase for
the new year. Last years September rail
way earnings were unprecedented, and the
prediction OF the bears has been that there
would be no increase this year. Neverthe-
less each of the three first weeks OF the
month has shown an unbroken line of
larger results. The August staten OF
the Atchison, which has been awaited witl
much interest by the street surpasses all
expectation, piling up net increase of
nearly three-Quarters of million An
parently all these matters had no effect on
the stock market The day was listIess
one, with little business and only minor
fluctuations in prices. Many securities
usually traded in did not appear in the
quotations at all, including the American
Spirits issues, Atchison adjustments, Can
ada Southern Central Pacific, Northwest
ern, Omaha, Lackawanna, Rio Grande pre-
ferred, Erie, General Electric, and Read
ing common. There is no very good ex-
planation of this condition of affairs. ex-
cept that perhaps the public is waiting for
the insiders, and the professionals do not
care 10 embark heavily on either side of
| the market over the holidays. 1t is usual
ly considered good omen when the mar
ket is dull at the bottom of tumble in
prices, on the theory that the bears are
afraid to push the decline further, Money
was bid up in a remarkable way, the quo
/ tations ranging as high as 16 per cent bid
| for call loans at one time. This state of
| things was undoubtedly largely due to
manipulation. as the outlook is rosy for a
much easier money market in the near flu
| ture. Ii is fact that there can be no dis
putting that money could be had yesterday
/ on the right kind of collateral for per
cent. The professional tipsters are in full
cry advising to sell stocks, and 1t is evil
tdent that the up-turn is not far away.
The times., 1899-09-27

The facts in the situation yesterday were
bullish. The fakes were bearish. This
with the frantic advice everywhere to sell
stocks has certainly most suspicious look.
One fake, put out undoubtedly TO induce
people to unload stocks, was the story of
Mr.. Hobarts death. Sixteen per cent money
was the other While money was quoted
at II and 16 per cent Seligman and others
were offering large amounts at and max
ing loans. too. 5e

LONDON, June 10.-The London grain

According to the Mark Lane Express,
the following are the conditions OF crops

CATAMARAN
DISASTERS
VICTIMS
Walter D. Henderson and

Drowned.
RESCUERS' BRAVERY
Young Pleasure Seekers Display

From Death.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, June 10.-Walter D.
Henderson and Miss Mabel Kafitz were
the only members of the party on the
Inflated catamaran Wave who lost their
lives. The swift surrents of the San
Joaquin have not given w the dead,
although anxious friends have searched
the banks for miles. How the other
twenty-One members of the party,
mostly young ladies' too, ever sur
mounted the terrible odds against them
and reached land passes comprehen-
sion. 1t seems that the Wave was just
preparing to make a landing at the
chicory factory, when the boat lurched
and filled rapidly. Instantly all was
confusion, some jumping and others be
ing pushed overheard. and within a few
seconds the Young men and women
were struggling madly for life. Gertie
Lang swan out, refusing assistance.
The boys quickly began the work of
saving the girls, some of whom still
clung to the overturned catamaran,
screaming wildly
Harry White and Ralph Yardley ac-
quilted themselves creditably and
brought four girls ashore. Maud Mar
tin swan fully a mile in search of two
sisters who she feared had drowned.
Alva Atwood and Lloyd Woods re-
manned so long in the water that they
came near going down and had to be
assisted. A small boat finally came
from the other side of the river and
assisted in the work Of rescue
When the young people were got to-
gether it was at first thought all had
been saved. but Miss Kafitz and Hen
dersOn were found to be absent The
hunt was fruitlessly resumed.
The launch Viola. which left here at
a. m. with a party of friends aboard,
intercepted the careened Wave. Two
of the party mounted the bottom and
tore eff boards, thinking some one
might be imprisoned. Several hats and
ladies wraps were found, but that was
all Henderson's coat was there.
The stories of the disaster afterward
told to the Viola passengers were so
conflicting that it is little wonder eXag-
gerated reports were first sent to this

by, where he died in a few minutes
without regaining consciousness. The
injured are all Bristol boys and the oc-
currence has cast a gloom over the Co.
Iumbia' s launching.
To the casual observer the Columbia
resembles the Defender in many re-
spects. There is the same long over
hang both forward and aft and the
same deep underbody, with tons of lead
cast into a bulb shaped keel at the
very bottom. a careful study cf the
hull reveals many points in which the
new craft differs from the champion

tapering bow, rounding up gradually
from the keel and ending in an ex-
tremely sharp point at the stem. The
stern overhang is longer and fiatter
than was the Defenders, and. in fact
the entire hull has the appearance of
having much f1atter floor than did the
older boat. Then the underbody is con-
slderably shorter at the foot than was
that of the Defender and the lead is
said to be cast so that it gradually
rounds out from a four-inch thickness
to three feet through at its widest part
Neither HerreshOff nor Mr. Iselin
would give out a single figure or make
comparison between the new boat
and the Defender to-day
A resident of Bristol, who has been
watching the Columbia day after day,
says when the tape was run along
from stem to stern she measured 1872
feet inches. Her beam is reported to
be "a feet 212 inches and from the top
of her 10-inch crown deck to the base
of the lead keel the new boat measures
close to % feet, just about what the
Defender measured. The keel is esti-
mated to be 20 feet long at the very
foot and contains about ninety-five
tons of lead Allowing for a free board
of about three feet nine inches, the Co
lumbia will be very close to 80 feet on
the water line when her spars, sails,
rigging and racing equipment is aboard.
Her draft will be 20 feet 8 inches.
