feet or more, always sails in flood tide
that she may have plenty of water while

tried vainiy TO back off and then she set
two black spheres in her rigging. indi-
eating TO other craft that she was mot

French Liner La Normandie, bound for
Hayre, came along. She went to the north
of the Pennsylvania, her pilot being ex-
tremely careful to clear the Hamburg
ship. He went somewhat too Ear to the
northward and showed the Normandie's
nose into the sand. She also hoisted two
black balls.
Between her stern and that OF the
grounded Hamburg giantess there was
hardly enough room for two big ships to
pass abreast, and the pilot of the Holland
American steamship Rotterdam. bound for
Plymouth, Boulonge, and Rotterdam
steered cautiously to get through. Tugs

Yesterday morning. while strollins along

MT. r. II. Taylor, who composes the hrm
of R. H. TAYLOR & Co, at No. COS, and
found him very busy waiting on the large
number Of customers who were taking ad-
vantage of the brisk Saturday market
When asked his opinion regarding the
movement OF stocks for the next few days
Mr.. Taylor said:
Next TO the low-priced railroad securi-
ties in the stock list, which should be pur-
chased as sound investment, would say
buy wheat, and lots of It, too, around
present figures, as much higher prices will
be seen when the usual array of spring
damage reports begin to gain circulation.
Wheat at 65 cents per bushel is equal TO
cotton at 6 cents per pound. both near the
price OF production. which is always the
turning point"
This appeared TO the Cleaner to be pref
ty logical reasoning and he decided to tab
II up Immediately.
