NEW YORK.

One of the most encouraging signs to
those who look for large public specu-
lation was that market affairs were
moving along yosterda,, according to
predictions In but few instances did
any important quantities of the high
priced stocks, which some persons said
ad been marked up to inflated prices
last week. come back to be unlOaded.
q fact which tended TO confirm the con-
cIusion of The bulls that they had been
taken out of the Street. At the same
time the strength OF the market spread
downward through the medium and
low-priced stocks, which are the moro
roD1lIar mediums of speculation by the
ordinary commission house following
and outside public. On the whole, the
market undoubtedly continued its up
ward course.
The commission houses reported that
their customers were as a rule inclined
10 take moderate profits as soon as
they appeared, rather than let them run,
For this reason some brokers believed
that the movement could not be con-
tiuued without first pausing for mod
crate reaction, but the more general i'm
preston Is that any reaction that comes
before the end Of the present month VIII
be slight indeed. a parallel was drawn
between the present market and that OF
last March and Apr J. At that time. II
was recalled, a reaction was day after
market went up steadily until the col
lapse of the May wheat deal pulled down
with 1t the top-heavy accumula tions OF
the pools. The chief factor in long
continued bull markets. cheap call mon
ey, exists now as 1t did then. and II is
pointed out that now the market has the
added advantage of a materially in
creasing volume of outside business: a
factor that was practically lacking
throughout the whole of the spring
movement Among the better informed
commission houses the impression pre-
walls that while the market would prob
ably yield to the influence Of an un-
expected and importance bearish infiu-
ence, even such a development would
have but a temporary effect. Thus far
the only suggested source of such a new
element n the situation is Portsmouth.

with Article S3 of the Fleet Regula tions

tainment was attended by a large num-
Der of officers and enlisted men from
the various ships OF the squadron in
port.
2. That a feature of said entertain
ment was boxing contest between J.
r. Johnson, seaman, L. s. Navy, and
r. Cohen, coal passer, L. s. Navy, for
a prize of fifty dollars, which was sub
scribed by the officers of the L. s. S.
