NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Some large
blocks of various railroad stocks were
marketed in the opening dealings at an
expense of values ranging up to 5-8.
The lower level of prices did not attract
any effective buying and the selling
was resumed after brief respite. Very
large blocks of Union Pacific were
thrown on the market and other stocks
which have led the recent upward
movement were conspicuous in the SELL
ing, notably Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Ohio, Louisville and Southern
Pacific There was free selling of SUI
gar at loss of point. American
Smelling preferred gained two. The
selling movement was checked again
before IL o'clock. Canada Southern
rose 1-2 and Peoples Gas rallied a.
point The response elsewhere was Fee
BILE. An effort was made to check the
| downward trend of prices by con-
eerted advance in the iron and steel
stocks, which were bid up by rapid
steps from " to 2A. The response else
where was moderate and fell away
when the steel group failed to hold. A
counter demonstration was made In
Peoples Gas and SugaS, the former
dropping to 92A. The tone OF the spec
! ulation became much unsettled with
these conflicting Influences and some
prices fell back to the lowest Inter

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-It is stated on ex-

pass through Paris, and that he will be
received with all the honors due to the

will be enthusiastically welcomed by the
population in general.

AS BIG AS
GERMANY
Plans for the American
Navy.
1.-THE RECOMMENDATIONS
Three Battleships and Twelve Gun
boats the Probable
Increase.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.--Germany's great
naval increase will play an important
part In the determination Of the recon-
mendation for new vessels which the Ma
val Board en- Construction will submit to
Secretary Long, says the Washington cor
respondent CT the Herald. This Board
has commenced an informal discussion OF
the program which the Secretary Is to
submit to Congress. and views expressed
by several members showed that they are
taking into consideration the navy Emper-
or William is building. All OF the MEM
bers desire that this Government shall
have navy at least the size of that of
Germany, and some favor a fleet which
shall make the United States the third
naval power of the world. 1t Is appre-
GATED that it is impossible for this Gov
eminent to provide fleet superior to the
nayies of Great Britain and France. but
they hold that it should be the equal OF
Russia ana Germany on the seas.
During the discussion some of the men,
bers urged that battleships only be rec
commended for construction and that
enough be provided to make the increase
equal to Germany's force. At least three
members of the Board favored battleship
construction. One member is said to
have strongly advocated the authorize
| ton Of twenty gunboats for service In the
West Indies, the Philippines and China.
and in support of this he pointed out that
there were eighteen baItleships, armored
cruisers ami protected cruisers under con-
struction and projected, and the ship
building facilities of the country would
lbe exhausted in completing them
! From present indications the Board will
favor the authorization OF three battle
iships and twelve gunboats of about 1,01l
tons each. There is no intention of rec.
tomyaending armored or protected cruisers
as the Board seems to think the United
Estates wants very large and very sma1
