fractional gain at the start but lost
the slight advance quickly. At the
end OF the first 10 minutes the tone
had stcadied.
IL a. m: Following the moderate
recessions at the opening. a firm tone
developed and there was a display Of
moderate strength The supply Of
stocks was scant. Governments un-
changed: other bonds dull.
Noon: There was a sudden display
Of strength In the last few minutes of
the second hour. following a rumor
that the tobacco decision, when 1t
came, would be favorable. A large
part of the buying was TO cover short

Iacing of supports to permit of the
least possible damage from the shots
Of the enemy.
It has been shown by experiments
that this form of structure will stand
the greatest amount OF puncture from
shots before it collapses, and so the
navy department is replacing the more
or less solid structures with this
grapevine arrangement.
The new mast, while rising to the
height of the topmast of the old style,
is only about one-fifth Of the weight,
averaging about 1000 pounds, as
against $4,000 pounds of most masts
of the old style. The height of the
new masts from the water to the look
out is about 120 feet, or approximately
the same as the old ones, but the
"eye" of the ship is infinitely safer on
the top of the new masts than it was
on the top of the old wooden topmasts.
The illustration very adequately
shows the masts on the battleship
Missouri recently fitting at the
Charlestown navy yard, the foremast
being the new model and the main
mast the old.
