 Futures opened steady at an advance of two points on favorable cables. The mar ket was flooded with unfavorable reports from all over the belt, many of them com piled by newspapers and the majority were very bullish.

 In the afternoon session, satisfied longs took profits a large scale and the mar ket reacted to the extent of points.

RoosexeIt,s EnuInment

The equipment of arms and ammunition for the Roosevelt Smithsonian African ex- petition embraces guns suitable for shot ing all kinds of game from birds and small animals to the big arid dangerous armor-skinned rhino For hunting the latter, the party will rely on Winc,Sester .4O5 caliber repeaters, known as <.1e Model 1895, which are the most powerful repeat ing rifles made. They will shoot a steel patched bullet through about 50 inches of pine wood, or a half-inch steel plate, and no animal living can withstand shot from one of these guns. For less danger ous game, rifles of the same make and model, but handling 80 Government Model 1903 cartridges, will be used. For small animals, the party Is provided with Win chester .22 caliber Automatic rifles. These guns are reloaded by their recoil, it being only necessary to pull the trigger for each shot. For birds. Winchester Repeat ing Shotguns, 12 gauge shooting six shots, will be used. These repeaters are calcu- lated to stand rough, hard use. as they bear the stamp of approval of the U. s. Ordnance Board for strength, safety and reliability. big assortment of Winches- ter ammunition of various kinds and sizes was, of course, provided for the different guns, making the equipment complete iR every detail.
