The Columbia had the race we'll in
hand and did not need TO risk a broken
spar. She kept on under ma!nsail, stay
and jib. Fortunately the challenger's
topmast did not carry away, though she
leaned over under the press of canvas
until her slippery decks wero tilted at
an angle of 80 degrees. Her speed was
undoubtedly increased, but her inability
to point" lost her almost as much as
she gained in footing.
The rush of the yachts through the
seas on the final tack was magnificent.
Geysers spurted from the bows and
drenched the sailors lying piled up
against the weather rail. As the GAL
liant American boat shot aoioss the
committee boat the shippers of the
vessels that had gotten there in time
almost forgot to open their whistles, SO
absorbed we're they in the stirring
spectacle.

The Shamrock got noisier reception
than Columbia as she finished, perhaps
because the later time at which she
crossed gave poitunity for some of
the belated vessels to get up.

Strength Of Oersels tho Notable Feature
b. Of the Trade Situation. 4
=, New YoRK, Jan. ,14.-Bradstreets
says: Perhaps the most notable feature
of tho trade situation &t present is the
strength Of prices Of nearly all staples,
but particularly Of cereals, cotton, iron
and steel, which have apparently gained
further ground since the first of the
year. Explanation of the strength of
wheat is, Of course, found in the good
cash demand which seems to meet any
slight reaction in values and which has
placed the price as high as at any pre-
vious time for three months past. This
cereal and corn are both in exception
ally good demand abroad, Judging from
the large exports reported, and good for.
eign demand is likewise the secret Of
strength in cotton shipments, which
continue heavy. rr ..
