CRUISER STARTS
ON FINAL TRIAL

Rockland, Me-, Jan. THE arnored
cruiser North Carolina started away to-
day TO complete her official trials. She
left her anchorage at $40 a. m. and an
hour later was forging ahead on her
four-hours' endurance rum IN which she
had TO maintain ll9 revolutions per min
ute OF her screws for four hours 10 aver
age - knots an hour as required by the
contract for her construction. According
to unofficial information her best speed at
yesterdays trial was III revolutions per
minute but IL was stated that lack OF
communication between the engine and
fire rooms was responsible for this and
that better work might be expected to-
day.
At the conclusion OF the run the cruiser
was to slow down for six hours, then
start on a 2l-hour endurance test of her
boilers during which they must maintain
for the entire time two-thirds of the
horsepower developed on the four-hours
run. The trials will end at Hampton
Roads.
The cruisers Tennessee and Washing
ton of the same class as the North Caro-
lima maintained an average speed OF p .16
and e2T knots respectively, on their
four-hours' runs.

But offerings were not very az Rressive and little later the market stead led on the light estimate for today's port receipts and receipts at Houston tomorrow, while the advance became excited during the middle session on reports that the fa- nous bull leader of 1904-O5. had re-entered the market with a big financial backing and was accommodating large line of May contracts. Many were inclined to think that the rumors in this direction were exag- gerated. but there seemed a general i'm pFession that there must be some basis for the story and the market worked rapid iv above the closing figures of last night on covering by shorts and general demand through wire and commission houses.
