ISir Thomas Upton has sent to Chicago
the new Upton yacht trophy that will
be raced for in September at the James
town exposition. The trophy was sent
to =. NJ. Hanney and will be raced for
by boats of classes II, j, * Qifty-seven
to eighty-two footers) sailing in one
class. Sir Thomas is said to be framing
up terms for another challenge for the
Americas cup.l
ing to discuss this question, and, while
1t Is not ready to give out any official
statement, it may be said that prog
ress is being made
The plan is to draft a request that
this country be allowed to cooperate
with the Royal and Ancient commit
teemen in future, 50 that both sides
may be able to work together harmo-
niOuSly. While the L. $. G.. a. does
not wish to do anything radical, it is
firmly convinced that the time has ar
rived for action, and it is the general
belief that when the foreign rule
makers have the matter presented to
them in its proper light everything will
be satisfactory.
The generous spirit of sportsman
the action of the German yachtsmen
in providing data about the conditions
at Kiel as a guide to the American
shippers named to sail the sender
klaSse boats in the international race
for the emperors cup is cause for con-
graduation and particular comment.
\ report which contained the infor
nation as to the trend duration and
strength of prevailing winds, depths
of water along the courses, advan-
tages to be obtained from shores and
headlands, and the like, was compiled
by the Royal observatory at Kiel and
submitted to the regatta committee of
the Eastern Yacht club by Admiral
Barandon.
This information was of great value
to the committee in selecting the three
boats named to compete. 1t was also
of great value to the captains in tuning
their little yachts up for the struggle.
The German yachtsmen were plainly
impressed with their reception and
courteous treatment by the committee
of the Eastern Yacht club when they
raced in this country last year and
became anxious to return the compli-
ment fourfold, all of which tends to
create good fellowship. with added
pleasure In winning and no regrets at
losing.
Lawn tennis as pastme has made
giant strides in popularity in the vicin-
fly of New York during the past few
years until today no country club is
complete without its courts and the
number of private clubs is rapidly in
creasing.

instance, located in what are known
as the north and south meadows, there
are about 200 tennis courts. all Of

THE STOCK MARKET

New York Aug. 1o.--There was a demor- aiized tone in the short session of the stoeh market today as wind up of week or disorder. Tn the last five minutes of the session the bears bought with some reeklessness to reap the rich profits accru- ca from the extensive fah in prices. With that exception there was no effective buy ing at any time and prices crumbled away almost uninterruDted by flood of sales in all varieties of sizes
 The Pacific stocks and coppers showed the most acute weakness. Union Pacific fell 5s. representing the maximum decline in the active list but the Hill stocks and Smelting were affected in less degree with losses running to four points or over.
 The whole market turned on the govern mental and public athtude toward corpora tions The statements published this morn. ing coming from Attorney General Bo- naparte after his interview yesterday with the President were the central factors in the new anxiety profeseed by holders of se- curltes. The notice thus served on the cor poratons that they might look for the pur- suit of prosecution to the possible limit for ed something like consternation in the speculative sentiment in the market. The contents of interview with John ID. Rockefeller also published this morning was regarded reflecting so serious view of the situation that it but added fuel to the flames. The weakness in the foreign markets helped on the decline. British con- sols going to a new low record. .
 Rumors circulated here without verified tion of undisclosed money difficulties In London and Berlin and the violence. of the decline here gave rise to uneasiness over the consequences to the low position. The bank statement although 1t revealed nom- inal increase in the surplus reserve failed to check the decline and in fact aggravat- ed 1t. While the weeks drastic liquidation of securities was reflected in loan con- traction of $1s.497. 900 it was believed that the syndicate buyings of the latter part of the week were not reflected in this show ing However, requirements of the same sort are to be met next week.
 The loss of S1,s00, 900 showed an unex- plained drain on reserve resources which aroused fears of further drastic forced liq- uidation.
 The closing tone was feverish and unset tied and at only small recoveries from the lowest prices In any case. Total sales or bondA par value. s6sS000. United States 2s have declined \ on call during the week.

 New Oreans. Aug. Io.-The tendency of the crop to deteriorate as a result of the continuation of dry. hot weather in the Southwest, particularly in Texas where the tenDerature for the past nineteen da ys averaged maximum of from es to 9s de- srees. except one day when 1t figured 94 many stations reporting the mercury to be we'll above 100. has been reflected in an advance during the week of about 50 points Octoner having sold at i2.69 today which is within two points of the highest of the season and compares with I2.29 at the close of last Saturday.
 The official weather forecast for today and sunday is for fair weather. but as cool CT weather is noted in the far Northwest and the mercury in Arkansas and Texas to be at almost biood-heat. the average max mum temperatures for the district of Little Rock, being 102 degrees, showers, perhaps rain while not probable for the Southwest are not impossible especially if A disturb ance Of a cycionic nature. which are usual ly the off-sprins of conditions now existing should develop. and they usually make their appearance when least expected To trust to the weather over a period of 3s hours. particularly with the market being sustain ed principally by dry weather Is more than a speculative risk. and it is for this reason that prices ruled easier during the last hour of the session. We have by wire at this writing that while the weather re- mains clear and hot at San Antonio. show CTS are predicted for that section where rain Is so badly needed.
 The strike of the telegraph operators, which is spredaing over the whole country. New Orleans having been affected today, was looked upon as an unfayorable market feature by reason of the strike restricting business and thereby depriving the market of outside support. Anything that will tend to restrict speculation is against the ad- vancement of any commodity. be 1t of the farm. real estate or of the security markets Were it not for the enactinE of drastic an ti-option laws in the Southern States. In Georgia. and Texas particularly. it Is prob able that cotton woulx now be at a higher level. However. should the unexpected hap pen by rains occurring over Sunday. we would have those of our friends to take ad- vantage of any important decline that might be brought about by buying futures,
 There is an urgent demand for new crop cotton and the prices that are being paid for same. 13Ac basis middlinE, at Calves ton and Houston. shows that the local quo tation I3Ac is practically nominal. there being no new cotton with which September and October contracts will have to be hq- uidated in this market as yet on which to make official quotations.
