THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Strength and activity marked the course OF
stock market trading in the early dealings. but
in the final transactions the greater number Of
shares showed severe losses as compared with
the high level Of the mornings operations.
Northern Pacific was again the leading feature
OF the market at a net advance of 16 points.
The gain in this issue was accompanied by an
upward movement in Union Pacific, and the
rest of the more active speculative favortes. al
Though in the last hour trading reactions from
the best prices were recorded.
The general list sold off in the afternoon and
as a rule final prices We're under Mondays last
quotations. The gain in Northern Pacific was
not followed by any announcement regarding
the future Of the property, but the Street was
again filled with rumors affecting the road.
There has heen a large short interest in North
ern Pacific. and the advance in the stock in the
last few days has reflected the defeat Of that
interest.
Money market rates advanced yesterday, but
the higher price for accommodation had 10 par
ticular effect upon stock market sentiment or
prices. Declines made in the day were princ-
pally the result Of profit taking sales. In the
greater number Of stocks final prices were at
small changes, as compared with the preceding
days close, Northern Pacific being the chief
exception The greater number Of stocks were
well supported the decline, and in many in
stances investment buying was reported.

Mr.. Rayner continued his cross-examina-

him especially concerning the official
chart of the battle off Santiago, exhibit
ing the chart The witness said he was
one of the board of navigators who pre-
| pared the chart. He had testified that
the Brooklyn was only $50 yards dis

Texas, but he stated that according to the
chart the distance was about 1900 feet
when the Brooklyn was making her
famous loop.
But he said, 1--WE are going through

MI. Rayner then commented quite Wig

distance was about half mile, as shown
by the chart.
He also said the chart made the Brook
