Cape Cod in the vicinity of Chatham

The local topography of many sec

Now Felt by Spectators in

Some Backward Features, But As a

1t is quite generally recognized thai
the present position owes much to tho

prices was traceable to this influen ,e
to large extent. The close of the
preceding week had presented a hard

cent. the highest since the first week
in January of this year The bank
statement made it clear that the de-
mand for credits in connection with
the syndicate subscriptions to new
bond issues had encroached on sup
plies to an extent that had made bank
ers more cautious In extending ac-
commodations for speculative purpose :.
The withdrawal Of s2.O00.00O gold for
shipment to France pointed to a new
force of depletion of banking supplies
At the same time it was known that
preparations must be made for financ-

supposed that an advance in the cal
money rate during the week might be
expected. The effect was manifest
especially in a number of stocks Of
comparatively small volume and sub

which had been violently moved up

there were blunt denials by officials Of

PORTLAND SCHOONER LOST.
The VIM. c. Carnegie Total Loss on
Long lsland-crew Saved.

New York. May "A fve-masted
schooner. the William c. Carnegie Of
Portland, Me. which went ashore near
the Moriches life saving station on
the south shore Of Long Island in the
thick weather early Saturday. broke UP
after hard pounding by the heavy
seas, and when darkness came that
night her wreckage was scattered
along the shore for five miles or more.
Capt Mitchell Reed and crew OF nine
were saved only after they had spent
the entire day in frail boat at the
mercy of the storm. They left their
ship at dawn in a yawI, convinced that
the open sea was a safer place than the
high surf. and were compelled to row
to seward to await help.
All day they faced the storm and it
was early evening when the revenue
cutter Mohawk, sent from New York.
succeeded in reaching them. The crew
of the cutter expected that the task Of
taking off the 10 men might be peril
Gus one in the heavy seas which We're
running, but there came lull shortly
after o'clock, which allowed the cut
ter to come alongside of the yawl and
take them aboard in safety. Apparent
~ but little the worse for their ex
posture to the elements, the sailors
were brought to New York.
The lfe-saving crews of the Nor
iches, Forge River and Potunk sta
tons were on the beach all day, and
made great efforts to reach the strand
ed vessel, but they could render no as
sistance. The Carnegie. which was val
ued at $4,000 and carried a cargo of
coal, will be a total loss.

during Saturdays storm, was reported
by the life saving station here tonight
as slowly breaking up.
Portland, Me, May 2.--The first news
of the wreck of the Carnegie was re-
ceived early Saturday when J. S.
Winslow & Co. received a telegram
which stated that the vessel had gone
ashore and that she was in danger
