The position of the bull leaders has
been weakened by recent unsettlement
of values. Such activity and strength
as there is, is confined to few special
issues. The general drift of security
prices, as has been intimated in these

a lower level has been reached, or until

as was feared, having partially rcpler-
ished it's reserve by drawing upon the
continent. In London the financial Sit
uation is seriously complicated by pos
sibility of the House of Lords rejecting
the Budget and bringing ON a parlia-
mentary deadlock The strain upon
the money markets of the world is
general and may continue until the
opening of the new year. 1t is worthy
of note that recent security issues have
not met with as satisfactory market
as was hoped for, and other important
issues are pending; all of which adds
to the pressure upon this market. Con-
siderable liquidation is taking place,
but not sufficient to materially affect
the loan situation. Speculation in cot
ton continues upon an abnormal scale
and cannot be regarded as a satisfac-
tory element General trade is active,
and the volume of business as whole
is about equal to that of 1906 before
the panic, but profits are upon a small
er scale. Owing to the increased cost
of living there are rumblings of labor
troubles in the future, notably among
the railroads; and the closing months
of the year are furnishing a series of
perpleXities which are anything but
helpful to the long side of the stock
market Further liquidation is neces-
sary, and with this contingency in
prospect we can only advise buying on
good advances.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 17.-Leading
men of the east and South, including
congressman, state officials and experts
from the Washington bureaus, are
making Norfolk their rendezvous to-
day in order to take part in the ses-
sion of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
association. President Taft will be in
attendance Friday, and will deliver an
address. Today was devoted to well
coming the visitors and to prelimin-
airy arrangements. Several speakers
are on the program tomorrow. Friday
morning the president is due to arrive
by boat, and a salute will be fired in
his honor.
There will be harbor display In
which naval vessels will participate,
and in Norfolk there will be a military
parade under the command of Colonel
Waller, of the Marine corps. The
will then make an address upon water
ways, being introduced in a short adj
dress by Governor Swanson of Vir-
ginia.
In the evening there will be a press
club smoker, in which members of the
Grdiron club, of Washington, and the
entire newspaper fraternity, which
will proceed to Norfolk from Washing
ton by special boat will participate.
The president will leave Norfolk
the next day and Immediately after his
departure the delegates and guests will
be taken about the harbor OF Norfolk
on an inspection that will last through
out the day.

The particular project which the
association is backing is known as the
Boston Beaufort waterways, with its
extension to Key West and along the
Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans. The
project calls for an inside passage by
water through existing canals and
! rivers a distance of about 1900 miles
down the Atlantic coast Work has
begun on part of this waterway be-
tween Norfolk and Beaufort, N. Z.
The work of constructing a canal
through Cape Cod also is under way.
The principal argument in favor of the
continuance of the inland passage is
the avoidance of outside danger points
around Cape Cod, Cape Hatteras and
the several shoals along the coast.

DISASTER AT SEA
When Ship Went Down All on

HER BOILERS EXPLODED
Terrible Marine Calamity Is Reported
From the Isle of Pines, In Which
Captain, Crew and Passengers Lost
Their Lives.

From the Isle of Pines, In Which
Captain, Crew and Passengers Lost
Their Lives.
Mobile, Ala.-Details arrived from
the Isle Of Pines of a great marine
disaster on the night of August %,
when the steamship Nicholas Castana,
en- route from Havana to Cienfuegos,
went ashore on the south coast of
the island between Carapatachibey
and Caletadel Inferno (Helps Cove).
Every living thing an board the
ship perished. The crew numbered
27, officers and men, and there were
two passengers. The ship lies in bold
relief on the high rocks jutting into
the Caspian. Eighteen bodies have
been found scattered on the coast.
Some of the bodies were found head
less, while others were mutilated in
other ways. All were nude with the
exception of one still clad in an un-
dershirt. The missing eleven are be-
lieved to have become the victims of
sharks. Identification of bodies was
impossible, except that of the captain.
A government commission reported
that the immediate cause of the wreck
was the simultaneous explosion of the
steamers battery of two boilers, com
bined with violent concussion of the
steamer On the rocks, whittier she had
been thrown by the gale and tidal
wave.
