New York, April lO-Dun's weekly re-
view tomorrow will say:
Sentiment. especially in the agricul-
tural regions. is strengthened by the
splendid government report on winter
wheat, and the outlook for an almost
phenomenal crop is calculated to inspire
greater confidence in the future. Reflect
ing the brilliant prospects. the leading
cereal is receding in value; yet the pur-
chasing power of the farming commu-
nifty should be enhanced if the present
promise of a banner yield is fulfilled.
the volume Of railroad traffic obviously
will expand with an increased production
of grain, and monetary conditions are
such that no difficulty is likely to be eN-
perienced in harvesting and marketing
the crops. Advices from leading centers
are still somewhat irregular, with i'm
provement in certain directions being off,
set by a reactionary tendency in others.
Apart from retail lines quietness is TO
be expected during Easter week, when
trade invariably is of a pre-holiday
character.
Although the favorable agricultural
outlook has created a better feeling in
iron and steel, that industry continues
in a depressed state. and the March re-
turns of the principal producer revealed
large decrease of 372,615 tons in un-
filled orders. The rate of pig iron out
put, however, was higher than in Febru-
airy. but some reduction is likely to oc-
cur this month, as a few furnaces have
already gone out of blast. Other statis-
teal comparisons remain conflicting: gross
earnings of railroads reporting for March
were 0S per cent less than last year
and idle freight cars have increased.
whereas bank clearings this week show
gains over the two years Immediately
preceding. and the surplus tsock of copper
has diminished.
1T has been an active week in the
large retail centers handling dry goods
but wholesale buying has naturally ruled
quiet Operations are still along con-
servative lines, yet, in a general sense,
values are quite steady.

FREAKS OF THE TIDE.
The Caldron of the Spotted Seas and
the Amazon River Bore.

The Caldron of the Spotted Seas and
the Amazon River Bore.
To the ordinary lay mind the udes
along our coast are most puzzling. He
knows that the tides rise and fall
twice in twenty-four hours and that
this depends in some mysterious way
upon the moon. But if in his travels
he sees a spot along the shore where
there Is no tide he is at loss to ac-
count for 1t.
To be exact, there is only one ocean
in the world where the tides follow the
moon with regularity, and this Is the
great Antarctic basin And the reason
is that there is the only place sweep
of water is to be found that is entirely
uninterrupted by land. The enormous
waves caused by the moons attrac-
ton course round the world south of
Cape Horn and the Cape of Good
Hope, with absolutely nothing to break
them Here in our northern hemisphere
great masses of land interrupt the
tidal waves and, combined with the
shallowness of the inland seas. cause
them to perform antics which seem
most strange
The depth of the water has much to
do with the tidal Irregularities. Out in
the open ocean. where the tide is
abnormal-about 5000 fathoms-the
speed of the waves is amazing. When
the depth decreases to FIVE fathoms
the tide cannot travel more than IF
teen miles an hour In England for
example. which is surrounded by mar
row, land broken seas. the result Is
that they get some of the most dan
gerous tidal races and currents TO be
found The most formidable of these
is the whirlpool between the islands
of Jura and Scarba. on the west coast
of Scotland. This is known as the
"Caldron of the Spotted Seas"
There the current runs at times at
the rate of more than twelve miles an
hour. and the force of heavy tidal
current rushing up to the wide mouth

them, for they will be able to view
models and plans for what are ex-
pected to prove the fastest hydro
planes ever turned out. For instance,
Adam F. Wicker, president of the
Weckler Boat company of Chicago,
announces that James A. Pugh, owner
of the so horsepower Disturber III
that won the American free-for-all
championship and later went to Eng
land for the international races, has
ordered a new craft and that the
plans and possibly the hull will be
exhibited at the show. 1t is planned
to equip the new Pugh boat with
two motors combining 1000 horse
power, which would make it the most
powerful craft ever built, not except
ing the famous English boat Maple
Leaf ", holder of the international
championship.
AS soon as the New York show
closes, Secretary Hand will have the
exhibits loaded on a train of 35
freight cars and sent to Chicago.
This train is scheduled to leave New
York about Feb. IA and additional
cars will be picked up at points en-
route, including Buffalo. Cleveland,
Toledo, Detroit and other cities.
Special trains for. motor boats enthus-
lasts going to the show are being ar
ranged for from such points as Kan

CHAMPS FRIENDS
WATCH HIS WORK
Johnny Coulon Expects to De-
feat Sinnet in Come Back
Bout.
slNNETT IN STATEMENT
Local Scrapper Says He Will outpoint
"Jawn' in Ten Rounds-Rock
Island Boy Not Worried.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-Persons
curious about the condition Of one
Johnny Couion, the bantam champion.
crowded into the O'Connell gymnasium
yesterday to give Jawn the once over.
The Logan Square pet stood up well
under the careful scrutiny of the ring
birds. He boxed with Young Izzo and
Kid Clipper and showed much of his
old skill and vigor. The general ver-
dict of those who have watched Jawn
in action the past few days is that he
will do. He may not be as good as OF
old, but he's in mighty fine trim just
the same. 1t will take a Williams or
a Campi to turn the trick against him.
Meets Young SInnett
Coulon is to mingle with Young Sim
nett, the Rock Island youngster, who
made something of reputation box
ing in semi-windups hereabouts, tomor-
row night at Racine. Sinnet has
whaled such lads as Artie Armstrong
and Joe Bishop. In fact, he has done
everything asked of him. But he
never has been stacked up against any
such class as he will face tomorrow
evening. II Coulon feels right and is
in the mood he's liable to hand the
Sinnett boy a stiff lacing.
Sinnett is among those working at
the Lewis gym, but with such stars as
Joe Rivers, Charlie White and Joe
Mandot performing there he goes al
most unnoticed in the jam. He is
sparring daily with Jimmy Sweeney
and Kid Beebe. Sinnett does not seem
to be worried over the coming conflict
with the champion. After his work
out yesterday he said:
Sinnett Expects Victory.
Il hear that a lot of the fans think
l am set up for Coulon. Tell them
to come to the fight and learn why
they are wrong. I'll give Coulon a
much hotter fight than he is looking
for, and I'll Outright him in the clos
ing rounds"
Sinnett is wonderfully strong for a
boy of his weight, and he will rely ON
that strength to wear Jawn down in
the early part of the engagement.
Then he expects to stage finish that
will make him the latest bantam
sensation.

nament, some time this week, provid-
ing two of his players who are now
on the sick list, recover sufficiently
to take part in the game. The Seniors
had no trouble in winning the recent
tourney, capturing all three of their
games from the lower class men and
he coach believes that such a con-
