WHITE DOVES RELEASED
At Launching OF Denver Instead of
Breaking q Bottle of Wine

Wilmington, DEL, April 4.-The New
York and Texas Steamship Company's
steamship Denver was launched at
noon today the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company yard. An innovation
in the christening vas the imperial
Japanese custom of releasing white
doves for a box as the steamer start
ed from the ways, instead of breaking
a bottle of wine over the bow. The
doves were covered with pieces of soft
white paper which ffoated through the
air as they swiftly flew from the box.
The English method of %snubbing by fix
ed chains, instead of by cables running
through winches, was tried for the first
time in this country and worked Suc-
cessfully. Miss Mary p. Malloy, daugh-
ter of the President of the Malloy Line,
performed the christening by releasing
the trap of the box in which the doves
were confined.
The Denver will ply between New
York and Galveston.

A REPORT FROM MACARTHUR
More Ffliplnos Observation-Disclosures.
ing the Commissary Frauds.

Washington, April 3.-The following
cablegram was received today at the
war department from General MacAr-
thur at Manila:
"Brigadier General Robert p. Hughes
reports the surrender at Banga, north
west Panay, March 3fst, of 80 officers,
1S5 men, and los rifles. General Kobbe
reports 81 men and p guns surrendered
March 31st in northern Mindanao.
1.-The commissary frauds are being
Investigated. They are not of sufficient
gravity to cause concern; are apparent
ly due to irregularity of sales savings.
The press reports are ineXact n mis-
leading.
General MacArthur's dispatch, as we'll
as other information received concern
ing the frauds, leaves considerable
doubt as to the exact character of these
alleged populations. General MacAr-
thur speaks of sales. These sales
consist of savings by the soldiers on the
regular rations issued, which they are
allowed to dispose of for their w ben
eft. Generally the savings are made a
company matter and are disposed of in
bulk to the highest bidder. They may
be returned to the commissary depart
ment and bought in by the government
at cost price, but there is no reason
why they should not be sold elsewhere
IL the of the company fund
should so desire. AS army rations do
not pay the usual duty imposed on SIM
liar goods used for private consump-
ton, the soldiers could make quite a
profit on their savings il they were of
considerable mount

thusiastic cheers Of the people and the
blowing Of whistles and ~fognorns.

tty for 2.859 passengers. She will carry

ment is 1880 tons greater than that

ment and tonnage are 10, 800 over that

lows: Length eS0.9 feet, beam IS feet,

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
stocks Dull and Lower-COttOI
Steady-WheRt Weak.

Stocks Dull and Lower-COtton
steady-Wheat Weak.
Between the holidays and the hot
weather North, the weeks business has
been much curtailed. The Stock Exchange
was closed since Wednesday. the Cotton
Exchange on Thursday and Saturday,
while the Chicago market was closed
only on Thursday.
Stocks were exceedingly duh, with
dropping tendency. The leading features
were United States Steel, which declined
to points, the latter for the preferred
on the failure to announce the dividend
on Tuesday as quarterly" Tennessee
Coal and Colorado Fuel declined or 4
points in sympathy. Since Wednesday the
announcement was made that the word
quarterly" in connection with the United
States Steel dividend was Internationally
omitted, and in London the decline was
practically regained Nearly the whole
list is lower, the leaders among the rail-
roads being the grangers and Pacihcs, the
losses amounting in some instances to
about points. Here again, however, the
London market was much better since
New York closed, Saturdays market be-
ing particularly strong.
Money showed a hardening tendency,
and Saturdays bank statement was I'M
favorable, in SO far as it showed a de-
crease of 50 $4,000 in the surplus reserve,
although deposits decreased 81, ZOO, 600. The
loss in cash was $750,OOO The market
ought to be a good deal better early in the
week, but the small interest and other
circumstances hardly warrant any sus-
tanned material advance at this time.
Cotton was variable, but mainly steady.
The bureau report showed no improve
ment for the month, but was some
points better than last year. Oh crop
months were slightly easier on bearsh
statistics, and no new developments in
the July deal, while new crop months
were a little higher. January closed on
Friday at 1850, a gain of II points. On
Saturday crop and weather reports were
construed as rather more favorable, and
botn Liverpool and New Orleans displayed
considerable weakness. 1t looks as If a
variable and fluctuating market is to be
expected for some time, and sales of new
crop months on strong spots would APP
pear the advisable course.
Wheat was again weak, especially to-
ward the end of the week, due to fine
crop reports; September closed 13sc lower
at 65hc. These figures unquestionabIy
discount a great deal in the way of big
crop, and wheat seems now a fairly safe
purchase, although of course some walt
ing may be necessary. The short side
is very precarious, whatever the crop out
look, for the price is abnormaily low.
