Twelve Days.

Skipper, Who Is to Get Months S
Vacation, Says He Wants
Smooth Sea and Mod
crate Winds.

The moon and an abundance of sput-
tering arc lamps furnished the lighting
for the big marine show presented for
the first time in this country by the
Cunard Steamship Line, at its 14th street
amphitheatre last night. when the Mall
retania sailed on her return TO Liverpool
in her attempt TO make the round trip in
twelve days.
The pier served as an excellent audi
torium, and as it was a free show about
$500 persons saw fit to attend and bid
the giant steamship godspeed A few
men of no particular vocation made an
ephemeral attempt at ticket speculating,
but the barkers for the performance
scared them off.
Some one Ventured the remark that the
spectacle should he called The Quick
Getaway of the Mauretaria; or, How
Turner Turned the Trick but the com
pany chose to let the big production go
unnamed.
Shortly after the big Cunarder had
warped into her dock in the dark OF
Friday morning and the one hundred
thousand pieces of soiled linen had been
dumped on shore, Captain Roberts, the
port captain, had talk with Captain
Turner the Mauretania $ master. He
gave him some information about coal
and then Captain Roberts declared that
ne would positively get the swift mer-
chairman away promptly at g p. m. on
Saturday
Skeptics said he was talking eXtrava- :
gantly, but when the minute hand of the
pier clock was amidshps of the Roman
numeral XII last night and the hour
hand over VI. the gangplank was hauled
ashore with a jerk and the liner began

Delayed for Italian Kisses.

Captain Roberts had kept his promise
It was a few seconds otter p. M when
the Mauretania showed perceptible
signs of movement, but there was a rea-
sen for the small delay over schedule.
1t was an Italian of the second cabin
who wanted to kiss some fifteen of his
kinsnen before he could make up his
mind to go aboard. He was routed
promptly by one of the baggage help
ers and hustled aboard, leaving on the
nier ,nkissed one Antonio, two or three
Narias and several FranciScos.
Charles P. Sumner, the local agent OF
the Cunard line, who was the author OF
tie show that was enacted last night.
was the last person to leave the liner.
He left the purser's office, watch in hand,
at 5:5S D. m and arrived at the finish
line on the pier at 6 p. m. sharp.
LIT her GO he remarked, calmly to
Captain Roberts.
ave. aye, SIR returned the port cap
tam. giving a twist of his wrist which
was the signal to Captain Turner on the
r,ort end of the big bridge.
Cantain Turner told the quartermaster
IN null on the whistle cord and he did
ell OF that and more. He tied 1t down
and the giant liners siren blew one long
blast that did not cease until the Maure-
,ania's bow was ships length away
from the stringpiece.
The curious twenty five hundred rushed
10 the river end of the pier. and the
crush made the proverbial bear hus
seem like the cold embrace OF diS-
gruntled mother-in- law.

MARKET NEWS|
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York. Jan. 25-The dramatic li- quidation which was renewed in the stock market today forced prices to the lowest level since the crest of the speculative wave was touched in Au- gust of last year, and consequently since early in the year 1908 in the course of the rise which began at that period Declines over night ran be- tween and ' points in majority of the active issues, with, however, some conspicuous exceptions.
 The exceptions were significant as being amongst stocks where effective liquidation has already occurred or which have been free from speculative excessives during the past few months. Instances were found in the Hill Pacifics and in the eastern trunk lines in which stocks had bee per sistently marketed in Hhe period pre- ceding the present season of urgent pltcolit.
 The speculative character of the holdings which were being forced on the market was indicated by the dis tinction between those mentioned and the exceedingly active speculative stocks, which were most severely handled in the days market. The case was aggravated where there had been any previous evidence of manipulation or active operations by market pools
 Consideration of the expected iivl- dend action on United States Steel practically dropped out of sight and the stock market closed with prices near the lowest.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, were s5,163 ,000.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-After grain and provisions had declined materially to- day under selling pressure accentuat- ed by the persistent protest against the high cost of food stuffs. shorts Took advantage of the downward trend and rushed to cover, reversing the course of the market and causing an advance in the price of practically every commodity in the pits.
 Wheat led grain in the extent of both the decline and subsequent ad- vance. sravehng over range of IA to 2Ac.
 May delivery was the star perform CT. At the outset the May option slumped 1 3-Sc and on the rally ad- vanced to 7-Sc above yesterdays final figures The range for the day on May was between s1.0S 3-s and s1.10.
 The market closed strong at almost the high point, with May up 4 to 7-Sc at s11O1s.
 Trade in the corn pit copied the course of wheat, the early slump being followed by decided advance.
 Oats iiuctuated to less degree than corn and wheat, keeping within a mar row range.
 The clamor against high priced meats. aided by liquidating sales, call ed for falling off in prices in the provisions. The offerings were estab- lished later by shorts and packers and an upward trend was given the mar ket. carrying futures over "a range from 25 to 35c. January pork started with a decline of 121sc, and closed SC higher than yesterdays close, at $20.05; January lard closing l5c low CT and January ribs 171se lower than yesterday. Closing figures on the May delivery were:
 Pork, 2lkc up. lat $20.05; lard, 7hc down, at s11.50, and ribs unchanged to 21kc up, at s11.20.

 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to 13 points in response to better cables, with March contracts selling at 14.25 and May at l4.27 on the call. During the early trading Liverpool buying helped to sustain the market. but there was goou deal of Wall street selling. attributed to the weakness of the stock market and local bear pressure, which seemed to reflect a feeling in professional speculative circles that the agitation against high priced commodities and the talk of legislative action against exchanges would be followed by gen erally lower prices.
 At first this selling was made com paratively little impression. but after wards worked of, stop loss oroers were uncovered, during the early af- ternoon March contracts selling at 1890 and May at 14.0l, or 25 to S6 poinfe below the high level of the morning and at net decline of about 22 to 25 points on the active months.
