NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The weakness
which developed in yesterdays stock
market was in evidence again al the
opening today. The London market
was not influential and the heaviness
of prices was apparently due to merely
professional operations. Something III
the nature OF a dash was made against
Reading, and the price broke -i-s-
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
American Smelling were under some
pressure. Delaware G. Hudson on
small sales declined l Ia. The other
changes were fractional. as rule.
There was a continuance OF the sell
ing movement that was a feature yes
terday in stocks and in the early part
OF the first hour today. many OF the
more active issues sustained declines
ranging from small fractions To 2
points. After the first few minutes
the market steadied and then became
fairly strorD The majority OF issues
traded In recovered early losses and
some OF them at the end of the hour
showed slight net gains. London sold
a small amount OF Southern Pacific,
but the srbitrage trading was not
large enough TO have any influence
on prices.
Governments unchanged; other
bonds steady.

THOUSANDS SLEEP
ON BEACH SANDS
SANTA MONICA BAY CITIES ARE
OVERWHELMED
Some Have the Forethought to Take
Blankets, and Pass Fairly Conn.,
Portable Night-Amusement
Places Keep Open
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SANTA MONICA, April 24.-Thou-
sands of people are sleeping on the
sands of the shore of Santa Monica bay
tonight. They came to see the fleet of
battleships and found the beach cities
unable to provide accommodations for
all of them. Other thousands are pass
ing the night on the streets and in the
different amusement resorts, all OF
which will remain open throughout the
night. The bay cities have today en-
tertained the largest crowd in the his
tory of the beach, and there is every
thing to indicate that the multitude
will be doubled by morning. Every
body wants to see the battleship fleet
perform maneuvers in the waters of the
bay tomorrow morning, and in order to
bring the excursionists to the seashore
in ample time for the spectacle the
electic car lines will begin a one-minute
service at o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of people on the sands to-
night had the foresight to bring their
blankets with them, while other hun
dreds are spendin.: the night without
covering. Throughout the city tents
have sprung up as If by magic, private
residences have been thrown open and
vet the streets are alive with people
who can find no place to spend the
night.
The sea was so rough today and the
supply of launches so small that only a
portion of the 10000 excursionists were
able to gain passage to the ships and
most of these had to be content to circle
around the war machines without at
tempting to board them.

VENICE, April PA brilliant dis
play of fireworks from the end of the
WindWard avenue breakwater tonight
brought to a close the outdoor part OF
the lavish entertainment residents ol
the Crescent beach cities have beer
giving during the past week to the
officers and men of the Maine, Mis-

Following the fireworks a grand ball
to the sailors and marines of the bat
tleships in the auditorium capped the
climax to the festivities of Santa Mon
lea bay day, as this, the last day of the
fleets stay in these waters, was called
All through the day there was some
thing doing every minute. In the early
morning a number of the beach's fair
est daughters took score or so of the
officers through the Venice canals in
gondolas, returning in time to witness
an athletic meet between the enlisted
men of the ships, which, through the
slipping of some cog, failed to come
off A team of picked men from the
Maine was on hand at the Midway
Plaisance at the appointed hour, IL
o'clock. The other teams, however.
failed to show up and so the victory
went to the Names team by default.
Meanwhile a baseball game between
~ONN---
from the battleship Ohio attracted con-
siderable attention at the polo grounds
at Santa Monica.
The California Military academy at
Santa Monica was the scene, from 2
to o'clock, of a delightful reception
rendered by the women of the enter
tainment committee to the officers and
men of the ships at anchor in this bay.
Punch was served and an informal good
time enjoyed
No launches ran today from Horse
shoe pier, Ocean Park. The result was
that the boats running out to the ships
from the Windward avenue breakwater
were totally unable to handle the vast
crowds that came from far and near to
go aboard the men-of-war, so that hun
dreds of people had to content them
selves with gazing at the ships from
the beach. Many others, after standing
in line from one to four hours, wearied
of the slowness with which the crowd
was handled and gave up their places
