working for relaxation. In the shifting and
transferring of vast sums in the carrying

that very little of the money involved has
gone out of New York. and that the largest

Market Lacked Potential Support.

With this requirement for stocks salts
fed the market showed clearly the lack of
potential support from such an unsatiSied
demand and the tone became soft. The
fact that the rise carried the average of
prices up TO record level and the strong
partially shown for many low grade indus
trial stocks in the speculative movements
were grounds for caution and doubt The
result was a rather easy yielding of the
market when the reactionary tendency was
once established.
The feature in the money situation was
the movement in the international ex-
changes. The pressure on foreign money
markets was of effect in carrying the ster
ling exchange rate here up to a practical
level with the gold export point. At the
same time there was recurrence of
some of the interior demands upon New
York currency. The low state of the surplus
reserves of the New York banks indicated
a poor preparation for a coincident de-
mand upon cash reserves from the foreign
markets and from domestic sources.

New high records were made this last
week In quite a number of stocks, of which
the industrials figured most prominently.
There were tional rises also in many
other stocks net included in the new high
record list. There are as many cheap
things among the industrials that the trad
ing fraternity finds 1t impossible to resist
the temptation to take hold of some of
them. 1t has been disclosed that the small
er corporations have shared in the amazing
prosperity which has overtaken the more
pretentious, and the deduction is easy that
all should participate in an upward move
ment in the stock market. This activity
in industrials is not at the expense of rail-
way shares; Ii takes the form OF new bus-

Cause of Speculative Confidence.

The upgrowth of speculative confidence
early in the week was materially aided by
the views attributed to the president of
the Imperial Bank of Germany. that the
money outlook had become satisfactory and
there was no likelihood of a further rise
in the discount rate of that institution.
This was accepted assurance of the
correction of the unsatisfactory speculative

RoJestvensky did not even fire a shot at it. Sweeping on to the northward the Russian fleet attempted to pass be- tween Tsu Islands and the coast of Japan. His battle formation was child ishly weak. His fleet extended in two long lines, the battleships in the east ern column, the cruisers and lighter craft in the western. AS he passed Xxi Island, southeast of the Tsu Isl ands, Uriu's squadron, which had been concealed in one of the deeply indent- ed bays on the Japanese coast, dashed out to attack him. At the same instant a cruiser squadron and a torpedo fo- tilla appeared in his pathway, and Togo with his heavy battleshlps and armored cruisers appeared from be- hind the Tsu Island and attacked from the west, Kamimura. in the meantime coming up from the south.
 The Russian fleet was surrounded. Its battle formation was broken up. Of the thirtyslx ships Rojestvensky took into battle one small cruiser and two destroyers have arrived at Vladi- vostok. A second cruiser escaped to the Siberian coast, but ran upon reef and was blown up by its own com mander. Three cruisers found shelter

Burned Their Flags.

A dramatic incident which occurred at Port Arthur on the day after the surrender was reported by party of officers from the Russian stronghold who crossed America after the fall on their way home.
 The word of surrender had gone round the garrison, said one of them. We received orders that morning to mass in the afternoon in the new town before General Stoessers headquarters, The regiments formed there, and nov ed into a square.
 In the middle of the open space a fire was built, and Stoessel came from his headquarters with a band of mourning on his arm.
 He ordered the regimental command CTS to mass the colors of their troops.
 Colonel Khilkoff, who had been wounded some days before, limped for ward, leaning on the arms of two of his men, kissed the colors of his regi- ment and threw them into the fire. He ripped off his shoulder-straps and thew them In also.
 One by one the other commanders followed his lead, and for three hours the line of them was in motion, burn ing their colors. It was the funeral pyre of Russia's eastern empire.

 Togo sunk or captured twenty-five Russian warships. Only the little cruiser Almaz and few destroyers escaped to Vladiyostok. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, seriously wounded, was taken prisoner, as was Rear Admiral Nebogatoff. Rear Admiral Voelkersam and Rear Admiral Enquist were killed. The loss of life was frightful. More than 5000 Russian sailors were killed or drowned, and more than 5000 were taken prisoners. Togo's battleships and cruisers escaped practically un- scathed, and he lost only three destroy CTS in the battle. About 200 of his men were killed and wounded.

The Battle of the Sea of Japan" Is lhe name which Admiral Togo has given to the great naval fight in which ~Russia's sea power was destroyed. So complete was his victory and so firm ly has he established Japanese naval power in Asiatic Pacific waters that it may well be that never again will sea fight of comparable magnitude be fought in the same sea and that this battle will indeed remain forever "the" battle of the Sea of Japan, Such an overwhelming victory for Togo no naval expert had dared predict It will be the wonder and the study of coming generations of sailor men Doubtless 1t has furnished material which will go far toward deciding the future of the battle ship and the tor. pedo boat.
 The Russian Baltic fleet sailed from Madagascar March l6 ordered by the Czar to retrieve the disaster of Muk- den by destroying the Japanese fleet and regaining control of the far east ern seas. The fleet was sighted twice on its way across the Indian Ocean. Rojestvensky passed Singapore April and arrived at Kamranh Bay, on the French Indo-Chiaa coast, April 14. Here he recoaled his ships, overhauled them, and awaited the arrival of Rear Adbral Nebogatoff with the third d. vision of the fleet Nebogatoff arrived May S. and May II the united fleet sailed from the French coast. May 20 the fleet was sighted in the Bashee channel, south of Formosa. May 23 several of the Russian ships appeared

High Tonnage Graft Few.

Statistics published in France esu- mate the total tonnage of the world 5 merchant marine at 32 ,642, 900, and the number of vessels at 24,S53, about equally divided between steam and sail. The tonnage of the former, how ever, is much the larger, being about 30,OOO,OO0, against 6,50O,00O for sailing vessels.
 While the building of big and bigger ships has been a feature of the busi- ness for the last quarter of century, the greater part of the worlds goods Is still carried by vessels of moderate tonnage. The number of ships of more than 10000 tons Is only eighty-nine.
 England leads in tonnage with cOOO,OOO, America follows with $500. OOO Germany and France having each about half as much. The list dwindles down along the line of the other mari. time countries, reaching its minimum in Argentina, which has about 25,00O tons

On the night of May 25 Rojestvensky, with fleet of thirtysix ships including eight battleships, three coast defense ships, three armored cruisers, five protected cruisers, four hospital and repair ships, and thirteen destroyers, sailed from Saddle Islands.
 The morning of May 27 the entire fleet was sighted at the entrance of the Korean straits. steaming northward.
 At noon May 27 the fleet was pass ing Tsushima Island, at the narrowest part of the straits, midway between Japan and Korea. There Togo gave battle.
 Togo's battle plan was as masterly as 1t was simple. He sent Kamimura with comparatively weak squadron to the entrance of the Korean Strait.

Japan had not yet been awake long enough to stand upright and defiant in the face of her oppres- sors. But there would come a time.
 Patiently Togo waited. Patiently the people of Japan waited. But while they waited they prepared, The time came. Russia, domineering aggres- siye and false, pushed the yellow men too close to the wall Then came the blow straight from the shoulder. The world woke up.

We no longer tolerate slowness. It has become one of the sins to be avoided. We do not write, because the telephone puts us into instant com munication with the distant friend. We do not walk, because we can save time by hurrying along In the electric car. We do not spend time In mental intro spection, because while we are absorb ed in thought the crowd Is rushing by and leaving us in the rear. In other words, the philosopher is now almost extinct.
