New York, May 3.-The stock market

prominent banker. and statements that
banks had called loans and refused fur

positively denied, but not until sub

to hold off for the government report,
due next Wednesday. This fact in
connection with more or less prevalent
belief that August may develop as Il

SOUNDING NIAGARA.
Finding the Depth of the River al
the whirlpool Rapids

Finding the Depth of the River at
the whirlpool Rapids.
The Michigan Central Railroad COM
pany Is improving and strengthening it's
great cantiever bridge across the Mag
ara river at Niagara fails, and in order
to get at the facts of the rivers depth
beneath the bridge Assistant Engineer
w. c. Duncan and F. c. Shenehan, Unit
ed States engineer in charge of the Mag
ara river, and of the lake survey at Buff
falo recently made soundings from the
bridge.
Those familiar with the Niagara local
ity know that the cantilever bridge is
situated just above the whirlpool rapids,
and that beneath it the current is very
swift. This rapid current made necessary
the use of unusual methods to secure the
depth In the tests referred to heavy
weights were used. These weights were
thing like an egg, supporting a long fin
in the rear This fin was to keep the
sinkers, or weights, from twisting when
in the rapid current, and thus breaking
the wire. The wire attached to the
weights was of the finest tempered steel,
and, although it was about an eighth of
an inch in diameter it was warranted
TO support a weight of 2,400 pounds. One
OF the weights used weighed GOO pounds,
and the other $50 pounds. They were low
cred from the bridge at midstream, and.
striking the bottom, it was aScertained
that the depth of water was seventy
