MARKET ENJOYS
REAL BUSY HOUR
Half of the Days Business is
Transacted in Opening Sixty
MinuteS-High Grade Bonds
in Excellent Demand.

NEW YORK. May 16.-FTOm 10 to
II Friday stocks were active and
strong. The market grew dull and
trading dwindled into the old rut Of
idleness. Prices held well, however,
and the close was firm.
Half the days business was trans
acted in the first hour. No incentive
for further activity could be found in
the news or the gossip but the general
temper among the brokers favored a
reaction Of a point or more. Traders
sold a few stocks. These were alb
sOrbed and this movement stopped.
Commission business is at stand
still and brokers chafe. grumble and
fume over a condition that is entirely
outside their control. There was a
slight attendance OF customers during
the early hours. but the dizziness
Grove them away before luncheon and
they failed To return.
Easy money and favorable crops
have not proved an incentive and il is
by no means sure that an increase in
eastern freight rates would induce
activity. The Mexican question prom
ises to hang on the ragged edge for
months TO come and those who pin
faith on the declaration Of war as an
impetus to stock market activity are
losing faith in their opinion.
The prompt sale of $50, 900, 900 Bal
timore and Ohio 4D1-2 per cent 1-year
notes disposed of in less than an hour.
reflects a decided Improvement in the
investment demand. The market for
notes has shown distinct firmness dur
ing the week and high grade bonds
are in excellent demand.
Steel common was one of the
strongest stocks While the gain for
that the only way to get stock was to
bid up the price. An advance to
about 65 is expected on this move.
Utah Copper sold up to So IA.
Tennessee Copper touched 80 "a.
Amalgamated Copper dropped nearly
a point on the publication of the an
nual report showing earnings of "a
per cent against per cent paid in
dividends.
Mexican Petroleum advanced to 60.
Central Leather sold at SO. The di-
rectOrs will probably meet towards
the end Of the month and the dividend
question will come up for discussion
if market conditions are right. In
creasing the dividend rate in dull
markets is as fruitless as firing ball
cartridges as salutes.
Rails were steady and quiet. Union
Pacific was firm, while Southern Pa
cific was again under selling pressure.
Canadian Pacific meets stock on firm
spots. Missouri Pacific moved indif-
ferently. Most Of the trunk lines
showed strength and neglect.
Foreign exchange ruled strong with
the record high prices for the last
five years. Call money renewed at
1 "a per cent with abundant supplies
in sight. Preliminary estimates in to-
mOrrOws's bank statement indicate a
currency gain of about 100000
Prices grew dull Friday without
losing the advance, a fair indication
that a continuation of the upward
movement may occur before any re-
action worth mentioning takes place.

OUR BATTLESHIP MASIS

A smudge OF smoke on the hori-
zon, then two skeleton towers of
steel lattice work just above the
sky line.
A batteship! a United States
~Battleship!
Why? Because United States
battleships are the only ones that
have masts Of latticed steel tubing
towers that look as if they were
meant to tram crimson rambler
roses and Il hundred or more feet
high.
Fighting tops are obsolete in the
United States navy. The men who
occupy the nests at the masts now
adays are unarmed. Their sole
usefulness to the ship consists il
finding the range for the gunners
down below.
The towers arc made of thu lat
ticed steel so they will remain up
right although riddled with shots
from an enemy's ship. Shells may
pass through the network of tubing
until every strand is severed and
still the towers will stand.
The old steel masts with a single
support could be cut in two and
sent crashing to the deck with a
single snot from the pncmy's gun.
The new masts are used as wireless
tower and for searchlight and sig
nal platforms as ell as for range
finding.
The range finders, usually three
men, pass CANVAS belts around
themselves in action. Otherwise
they might be thrown far aboard
by some sudden lurch. The top Of
the "wastebasket" mast is like the
lower end of a clock pendulum
when it cores to swaying. The
ship leans owe just Il foot o. two
maybe, the mast six or II dozen
feet.
When the guns arc firing below
the cuncussian sets the steel tube:
vibrating like a Suspension bridge
with n crowd crossing. Sometime:
the vibration is so strong that tn,
range finders can't work. Then the
guns are stillrd for a minute. -

FOR A BETTER WOOL PRODUCT

letter the National Copper bank of
Salt Lake pays Il tribute to the
head of another national bank of

strong for the latter's efforts to i'm
prove the quality Of wool produced

particularly to improve the methods
OF handling the wool after it is

In the issue of the Trade and FL

the reduction in the wool tariffs,

was inevitable, devoted himself tn a
study of ways and means by which
tho American wool grower might

why should Australian woods

something Inhcreut or was il the
result of superior methods Mr.. Cos
grifi determined to find out. He
, found that it vas partly in the
breeding of the sheep, and partly
in their handling, but that most of
the difference was due to shcaring
pen methods. The Australians keep
the pCrs clean, bale the ilecccs in

inferior parts Of each fleece and
bale thnsa separately. and they
