through the contest for the Lahm cup,
which is to take place some time dur
ing the SUNNI r. Various conditions
are attached 70 the contest for this
trophy. but tie main thing is to ex-
coed Lieut.. aims record of 400
miles, made last year, when he won
the international cup for America
Il the wind is blowing directly from
the north or vest at the time of the
ascension from st. Louis and the up
per currents correspond with those
close TO the earth it will not be pos
s&ble 10 exceed Count de La Vaulx's
record. The balloons will be carried
out 30 sea on the Gulf of Mexico or
the. Atlantic ocean in such circum-
stances. But with a wind from any
other direction the chance of estab-
fishing a new record is exceedingly
good
It is not regarded as probable that
a balloon would be carried across the
Rockies from ST Louis because of the
almost entire absence of east winds in
that section of the country, but with a
south wind or even a wind from the
southwest a balloon could be carried
not further than into northern Maine
and still establish new record.
With Canada stretching for hun
dreds of miles to the north, the oppor-
tunities in that direction are virtually
without limit. and in spite of the
chances of being lost in the wilds of
the northland it is there that the eyes
of aeronauts are turned most hope
fully.
Men who are spending much money
and time in making elaborate plans to
add the worlds record as we'll as the
international cup to Americas trophies
are cheered by the knowledge that the
science of aeronautics has so far adj
vanced that there will be little diff
Guilty in keeping balloon afloat at
least as long as Count de La Vaulx's
was in the air when he made his rec.
ord flight.
Wise and his companions had been
in the air only 10 hours when he had
covered a distance of more than 500
miles in a straight line from st. Louis,
and the aeronaut's own record of the
voyage described course covering
more than LOO miles, while Count de
La Vaulx was in fight for SO hours
and As minutes to cover a distance of
1850 miles
II some daring American aeronaut
can maintain Wise's speed, aud at the
same time maintain his balloon in the
air as long as did Count de La Vaulx.
there can be no doubt of beating the
record. provided the balloon is car
ried over the land.
Wise was heading straight toward
what would now be the worlds record
when his balloon was wrecked. He
had followed a general east-northeast
direction from St Louis and was head
ing down the valley of the st. Law
renee, following the north shore of
Lake Ontario, when he was suddenly
swept inland and his voyage ended.
Foreign aeronauts who have en-
tered for the International Gun race
are eagerly discussing this chance of
establishing new record. One of
the leading writer's on aeronautics in
Paris, recently went 60 far as to saw
that the question of making a new rec
ord from st. Louis is the feature of
the contest of greatest interest to

unless the wind is blowing approx
Dately from the west, st. Louis is so
situated at the heart of the United
States that balloon may fly hundreds
of miles before reaching the sea, re-
Sardless of the direction of the wind.
In fact. the chance of equalling or
exceeding the world long distance
record. which is now held by Count
Henry de La Vaulx, is just twice as
great from st. Louis as from Paris.
FROM the capital of France a balloon
must travel within a segment of a
circle of only 40 degrees, having a
radius equal in length to de La Vaulxs
record flight, to avoid being carried
out to sea, but from st. Louis the seq

Count de La VaulX's record may be
beaten includes 220 degrees.
Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm's winning of
The international cup last year, with a
record of only 402 miles, is an illus
tration of the difficulty of attaining a
considerable distance from Paris, ex-
eept under favorable conditions. On
the day set for the race the wind was

RESUME OF THE
GENERAL STOCK
CONDITIONS

New York. July 6.-,Henry Clews and
Co. say Conditions in the stock market
have further improved. and after three
months rest. following three months OF
very severe liquidation which eliminated
in the March panic. the market is now dis
playing considerable recuperative ability.
THE tendency toward Improvement was
observable two or three weeks ago; the
principal obstacle to the rise in stocks be-
ing the unsatisfactory condition of the
money market. Now that the July dis
bursements have been safely passed the
outlook is somewhat better These funds
have been released and a large amount OF
money previously locked up is now avail
able for investment or rather purposes.
During the next two months, until about
September list, there will be no unusual
local demand upon tho money market
and currency should begin 10 flow from
the interior To this center, especially IL
high interest rates continue.
Renewed gold shipments cause some
uneasiness i'm certain quarters, especially
as the precious metal is an important
baSis Of credit. II should not be forgot
ten, however. that we can readily spare
considerable sums OF gold without in
furious effects here We have a large
stock Of gold in the country, which has
been heavily augmented by importation

transactions on tho Stock Exchange
this week have been somewhat restricted
by observation OF the Independence
holiday. The outlook however, is for a
moro active market In July than ex-
perfenced in June. The bow prices at
which many stocks have been selling,
their dividend earning power,
have induced some OF the market leaders
TO take more optimistic and aggressive
attitudes. The rise which took place in
some of the leading stocks during the last
two wecks received the sanction and sup
port OF some OF the strong interests in
the market. Some OF the larger opera
tors were evidently OF the opinion that un-
favorable conditions had been we'll dis
counted and that the market was entitled
to fair rally. This, combined with the
conditions referred to above, explains the
recent strength OF the market In face of
money rates. II the weather con-
tfnues favorable and crop prospects Inn
prove as generally In July as they did in
June, we may look for more active and
still higher market. There Is nothing In
the present situation to warrant further
