Flying Machines.


Washington, Apr. 22.-Dr. Alexan.
der Graham Bell has fixed tomorrow
as the time for the exhibition of his
famous tetrahedral kites, and he was
selected a field at Chevy Chase as
the place of trial. One of the kites
to be flown is the famous Victor l..
This is the kite which is expected to
lift a man and after which, when it
has been made tractable to motor
power and steering gear, the twenti.
eth century flying machine may be
fashioned.
Prof. Bell has worked on the prob.
lem of aerial navigation for two or
three seasons at his summer home
in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, but he
has never given a public exhibition,
and his experiments have been so far
shrouded in mystery. It has been
claimed, however, that he met with
some success at Cape Breton last
summer. He continued his investiga.
tions during the last winter, and the
announcement that he will exhibit
his kites in public has led to the be-

WAR AND FIRE
 AFFECT STOCKS Liquidation Caused Decline ot
 l to 4 Points BONDS ARE STILL WEAK Itnl-- AL s... r..s....- 4L. Az
Under the Conditions Existing the Ac- ton of the Present Market Must Be Regarded as cood-short
 Selling Very Tame.

New York, February s.-The stock mar of the fret fire in Baltimore and the breaking off of diplomatic relations be- tween Russia and Japan, either one of which was sufficient to have justified a severe break in prices of any department. However, there was no release from the upon the market of the Baltimore dis aster was beyond calculation. The harm already accomplished was sufficient to mark the event as great national calam- ity and there was nothing doing in the early part of the day to indicate the ulti- mate limits of the damage.
 It was early perceived, however, that the damage of the disaster already ex- ceeded those of any previous fire in our history with one possible exception, with the record of the Chicago fire itself ap- parently in imminent danger of being ex- ceeded.
 When 1t is borne in mind that both the Chicago and Boston fires were the oc- casion of stock exchange panics, the ac- tion of the present stock market must be regarded as good. The liquidation which was an inevitable consequence of wiping out of property value approach. ing the cost of our war with Spain. caus- ed declines during the day in the princi- pal active stocks of 1 to 4 points. The rally of the last hour demonstrated that short selling to considerable extent went hand in hand with the liquidation and was not hacked with sufficient conf- dence to leave contracts open over night.
 The sharp relapse in prices failed, how ever to attract any effective demand for stocks, leaving the outlook still uncer- tain.
 Baltimore and Ohio was naturally a special sufferer owing to local causes. Pennsylvania was heavily sold all day with expressions of dissatisfaction over its heavy borrowing. Union Pacific was conspicuous sufferer. Some of the days selling both of stocks and bonds was at tributed to the account of insurance com panies in preparation for the heavy claims to be met. All other considerations dis appeared before the two great factors of the fire and the war.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $3,190.o00,
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-02-09

has been of the best, as it represents the legitimate element of the trade and as large number of contracts have been taken off of the market, the unwieldly long interest is eliminated and it is to be hoped that the future course of values will be regulated by supply and demand instead to be anxious to buy at the pres- ent level of prices. It is in order though to curb the enthusiasts and prevent our market getting so far out of line in the future, as to preventing exporters. and spinners working on a basis. If this 's observed the chances are spots will be in good demand and confidence will be re- stored. The general conscencus of opin- ion is that war has been discounted and from now on the movement and demand for spots will regulate prices. Late cables from Liverpool say that 1t Is be- lieved there that the crisis is over. and a speedy change in feling is anticipated It is thought that the market is ap- preaching the lowest point of the season. and as spinners are bare of stock they will be compelled to buy soon. On the whole the majority of operators believe the position of cotton on it's own merits is healthy.

Birmingham, February 8.-Liverpool spots closed A points down; contracts down 34; our market opened 15 up in New Orleans and unchanged in. New York, but prices generally gave way un- til a decline of 90 points was shown. A swift rally then recovered all the early loss, but fresh selling orders then ap- peared on the reports that war was a practical certainty and at 1:15 the tone gain wiped out. Receipts are light for today but estiamtes for tomorrow. while under last year, were quite heavy Fear of a bullish government report tomor- row seems to be all that is holding the market.
