CONSTITUTIONS MAST BREAKS.
The Second Mate Swept Overheard But Was
Promptly Rescued
(By the Associated Press.)


Newport, r. T., June Awhile dashing
along in a good wholesale breeze off Bren-
tons Reef Lightship this afternoon, with
three lower sails set the big hollow steel
mast on the Belmont syndicate cup de-
fender Constitution collapsed like blow
pipe, through the sudden breaking of the
starboard and windward spreader
The mast broke off only a few feet be-
low the spreader about three-fifths of
the length of the mast above the deck
and as the topmast was carried away at
the same time none of the spars except
the boom struck the deck, and the latter
only hit it light blows which did not
injure the hull at all. None of the sails
was torn and all can be used again. For
tunately three seamen had just come
down from the masthead, after taking in
the club topsail but the wreckage swept
overheard Second Mate Edward Nelson.
He was promptly hauled on board, how
ever, without sustaining anything more
than few bruises.
The Constitution will be taken to Bris-
tol tomorrow morning where another
steel mast is nearly finished. The yacht
will be Immediately refitted.

THE STOCK MARK EFT.
Last Fridsy's Record for Sales Bro kes,

Last Frtdsy's Record for Sales Bro es,.
 New York April 22-The extraordi- nary activity of the speculation on the stock exchange Is witnessed by the rec ord of the aggregate sales for the day, which rose to 2,3S2, 800 shares, compared with the previous high record of Friday of 2,196,400 shares. The character of the market showed a marked change from that of the. latter part of last week, when the tendency was distinct ly upwards throughout the list There was great variety in the speculation and extreme irregularity in the move nlent of prices all day, and recurrence of the feverish tone which has broken in on the present extended advance in prices at various times. It was obvious that very heavy profit taking was go- ing on in stocks which have showed the greatest strength recently. The bulls had the situation fairly we'll in hand through the early part of the day and the process of shifting the speculation from one set of stocks to another which has gone on in constant succession all through the period of the rise, seemed to be going on in normal manner. The weight of the profit-taking became so formidable, however, and the violent manipulation of special stocks by which it was sought to sustain prices became so palpable that the bears made pow- erful concerted attack on the market in the final hour. They offered prices down by rapid steps without meeting any effective support, taking the mar ket away from the bulls, who were eagerly taking their profits.
 The relapse from the. high point was very violent in some stocks and the level of the whole market was carried well under Saturdays close. The vio- lence of the decline invited some quick profit taking by the bears, whose GOV ering demand caused few sharp ral- lies but the general list was weak at the close
 Except for the slump in Amalgamat- ed Copper at the opening, the market started off with every appearance of continuance in full swing of last weeks active speculation for the rise. Gains
