During the storm all the battleships had steam
up ready for any emergency Rear Admiral
Sperry finally ordered the flagship Connecticut
and the Kansas. the Minnesota the Vermont
the Virginia and the Ohio under way. They
were close TO the breakwater, and Admiral
Sperry feared they might drag anchors The
six vessels steamed down close to Cavite, where
they anchored.
At times the wind blew at the rate of a hun
dred miles an hour. All communication with
the shore was cut off It was impossible during
the height Of the storm to see the warshps
through the haze of rain and spray. On shore 1t
was dangerous to go about. Several carriages
were overturned by the wind trees were blown
down, electric wires were prostrated and several
buildings were unroofed. Among the buildings
unroofed was the commissary depot. Several

LOCAL MARKETS
CONDITION NOW
BEST IN YEARS
Unusually Heavy Demand and
Money Is Found on Easier
Basis.

The volume OF business in the local
securities during the last week was
larger than it has been for the last
three years. The local market fell into
q rut a number Of years ago, and it has
been in that position until few weeks
ago, when a revival in trade in locals
appeared. But during the last week
the demand has been unusually heavy,
to such an extent that prices went up
all through the list. In most instances
the upward rise in prices was con-
spicuous and material gains were made.
Buyers from all parts of the State
have appeared, and the demand is so
heavy that it can only be fulfilled by
bidding above the market. Money,
also, has been easier, ranging around
s per cent. The banks, however, are
careful in loaning money.
North Jersey bonds found buyers at
70; White Lines in large blocks were
disposed of up to SO; United Electric
worked its way from 631s to 66N, and
Essex and Hudson sold for 121. South
Jersey was sought for up to 1181k, Hud-
son County Gas sold for 100 and New
ark Consolidated Gas was bought for So.

HARTMAN SAYS
COUNTRY IS 0. K.
FUTURE BRIGHT

WASHINGTON, May 16.-That the
country is all right and that there is no
reason why prosperity should not reign
are the opinions expressed by e. H.
Hartman in an interview here.
Mr.. Hartman is exceedingly optimis-
tic over business conditions. "The coun-
try is all right" he is quoted as saying.
Everything is normal. and there is no
reason why we should not have pros
perity in plenty. The basis of pros
perity in every country is the product
of the soil. and the crops here could
hardly be better. Farmers are con-
tented; they have no mortgages to pay;
their fences are built and the land is
producing all they need. Everything
depends on that. see no reason for
any business depression. We are all
right"
