NAVY TO TEST
NEW TELEGRAPH
Takes the Initial Steps
Toward Using Wire
less System.
ATmored Cruisers to Be Pre-
pared to Conduct the
Experiments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The Navy De-
partment has taken the initial steps to-
ward the adoption of wireless telegraphy
as a means Of signaling between war
ships at sea To this end Admiral Brad
ford Of the bureau of equipment has
asked that the armored cruisers of The
Pennsylvania class have their masts and
rigging so arranged that the wireless sys-
TEN can be introduced. This VIII necessl-
tate the lengthening Of the masts of the
ships and the insulation Of the metal rig
ging by the Use Of a hemp covering for
the halyards 1t Is intended to get test
sets Of instruments of the various wire
less system now being operated. These
include the MarcOni system. Thus far,
however. the Navy Department has not
adopted definitely any system, but the
construction Of the new ships IS regarded
as a preliminary TO the adoption OF sys-
TEN whenever its practicabillty Is eStab
lished. The British navy already has d
number Of its ships equipped with the
wireless system. but this is the first move
on the part Of the American navy to make
use Of wireless plan.

by the Canadian Government aud its de-
sire to further his experiments. He thinks
il probable that a spot in Cape Breton VIII
be selected for q permanent station, and
he says that the point chosen must be
from 100 To 200 feet above the sea level.
MarcOni viii remain in Cape Breton a few
days and then proceed to Ottawa.

present only one letter. continuously re-
peated, had been received.

NEW ORLEANS CoTrON MARKET


New Orleans, June 10-The reaction of
Saturday was followed this morning by
another sharp decline, due to Liverpool
advices showing a heavy recession. After
opening to points off from Saturdays
closing, our market declined 4 to addi-
tional, the almost total absence of rain
in the cotton belt inducing free selling
of late months by interior traders, the
only support being from shorts, who had
sold last week on the bulge Our Liver
pool friends cable: I'VE expect a gradual
decline, owing to dullness of trade and
absence of speculation The movement
continued very large, both at ports and
the four leading interior towns, but in
spite of bearish features, the clique in
New York continues to indulge in manip-
ulation of July position, there, rendering
an opinion regarding the summer months
worthless, and we would again caution
our friends to avoid trading in these
months, either there or in our market
Weather conditions will largely govern
prices of next crop months and contin-
uation of dry weather for the ensuing
few days will likely cause sagging mar
kets, while a recurrence of rains would
reflect in higher values. The trade ex-
poets the government weekly weather re-
port tomorrow to show a slight improve
ment.

New York June l0.-The course of the
stock market seemed to be chiefly a con-
tinuation of that which existed at the
close of business last week. There was
absolutely nothing new of particular bear
ing upon the financial situation. The chief
exceptions to the general tendency of the
market upon the opening of business were
Missouri Pacific which advanced rapidly,
and Texas Pacific, which was strong in
sympathy with the Missouri Pacific and
Louisville and Nashville, after opening,
was lower, but advanced on rumors that
the rate of dividend on the stock would
be advanced TO per cent. The Southern
Railway shares after the opening also
showed comparative steadiuess. Union
Pacific continued heavy, and elsewhere de-
clines which were within fractional limits
were common. Copper was decidedly
strong. The dealings here for foreign &C.
count were not upon an extensive scale,
and were conducted on both sides of the
market.

New York, June 10.-In the cotton mar
ket this morning there was dsappoint-
ment because of Liverpoors response to
New YOrk's poor showing on Saturday,
but far-sighted operators viewed the sit
uaton with complacency. The setback is
manipulation on the part of those who
feel and believe that the crop is doing
poorly, and desire an opportunity to buy
back at lower prices. The crop is spot
ted, and as the season advances this fact
may become so apparent as to bring
about a very bullish feeling in the mar
ket. Prices opened to 10 lower Later
on near months improved 8 to points,
while distant months were easier. Rain
to-day was confined to a few points only.
Memphis had SO inches and Atlanta 81.
The temperature was seasonable, rs de-
grees being the highest at Corpus Christi,
Galveston and New Orleans and
70 the lowest at Palestine, Vicks-
burg and Atlanta. Some reports were
that the Liverpool decline was due to less
favorable trade conditions. The trade is
looking for a weekly government report
tomorrow with a good deal of curiosity.
Opinion is mixed, but 1t is scarcely proba-
Bile that the crop has undergone decided
change for the better since last week.
Port receipts to-day estimated at 1000
against 5000 last year. Liverpool lost .
to 5 points.

reports from most of the belt Selling
orders in large numbers were cabled here.
While room traders were totally confident
OF lower prices, they were constantly
harassed by fears of possible outbreak
OF summer month manipulation. Wall
street bought near months on the first
break, but later turned seller The South
sold the new crop here; the West did lit
lie business either way. There were sew
eral reactionary movements on profit
taxing, but the market at no time exhib-
tied recuperative energy of note. Belief
that to-mOrrow's weekly summary from
washington would reach much better
imam a week ago, caused selling for
decline. The lowest figures reached were
july 790; August 744 October ITO; this
being l2@lS points under Saturdays clos
ing. The close was quiet and steady with
