rise accordingly in the eyes Of for
eigners. In the past history OF tho
navy the grade Of admiral has
figured but three times In living rep
resentatives and each time but . sin
gle onicer has enjoyed the rank. First
there was Farragut. then Porter. and
after lapse OF moro than seven years
following the latter's death George
Dewey won the honor.
But while David Glasgow Farrasut
was the nrst man In the United States
navy to win By virtue Of congress the
legal title of admiral. the rank ~ \
brevet and BY right Of appropriation
was ninsty-ons ysafa old In the Anr
mails Of the service. This may b news
to the public generally. but nevefthe-
less II 10 matter Of indisputabls rec
ord.
In foreign service some centuries
back It was the custom to call the
ranking ofncer OF the fieet admiral
Therefore when the American navy
was established there was reason why
our senior oficer should assume the
designation accorded his position in
other countries. Our first president
was Of this opinion. On the 22d OF
December. 1775. the Continental con-
gress commissioned Esek Hopkins. an
old and experienced seaman, COM
mander In chief OF the navy, and Gen.
George Washington ofncially ad-
dressed him as Admiral Hopkins"
Admiral Hopkins put to sea from
Philadelphia In 1776. He had squad
ron Of seven vessels and his fiagsiiip.
the Alfred. carried his flag. which was
a square Of yellow silk bearing In its
center pine tree, rattlesnake in the
act OF striking and the motto Don't
Tread on Me-" John Paul Jones, then
a lieutenant aboard the Alfred. sent
that flag aloft with his own hands.
When commanding squadrons our
ranking captains were called by cour.
tesy commodore. These men per.
formed the functions of our later rear
admirals. At the main truck Of their
ships these brevet commodores dis
played blue triangular fiag-no,
rightly the commodore's swallowtail
or broad pennant Of European navies
with single big white star encir
cled by ring Of twelve smaller stars
These stars signified the thirteen orig
inal states. This was the pennant
which John Paul Jones flew ON the
Bon Homme Richard when he fought
the Serapis September 23. 1878.
1t was not until 1857 that the titls

Finance, Oil and Real Estate

NEW YORK. April 22.-Trading in
the stock market today fell away in
marked manner, total transactions
! fsIling far short of the recent daily
average Of 100000 or more sha-cs.
Various theories and deductions were
advanced in explanation OF the dimin.
fshed and irregular movement these
ranging from political to industrial
and technical conditions.
Z saAs matter of fact, to the dispas-
sionatn observer, events 3f the last
few days, including heavy foreign and
domestic selling. with an adnixturc
Of professional operations for the de-
cline. seemed to make todays out
sccme matter OF logical sequence.
Lowest prices were scored in the last
hour, when the list recovered from its
torpor of the mid-sesston. with de-
5clines of one to two points in rumer-
Gus important stocks. Prices moved
contrarfly from the outset, standard
stocks and the lower grade railways
tending downward, while coppers
moved to higher quotations. Dealings
in the metal shares were the largest
20 fanny particular group. Ear exceeding
those in such leaders as u. 5. Steel,
Reading and the Pacfflcs.

well as the first, the indications arc
that 1t will make 40 or 50-barrel pro-
ducer. When first drilled through the
sand it did nto show for better than
20 or % barrels a day. The location
Is $40 feet a little north and west Of
the first well. and It looks as though
the owners will have to look to some
other direction for an extension. II
will probably be two weeks before any
OF the three wells drilling win get the
sand.
The Cabin Creek district is the only
one that is attracting any attention at
this time. In the whole scope of the
recognized producing area of West
Virginia there Is not another new dc.
velopment. There is only a desultory
effort making to find new producing
territory. There are a few wildcats
drilling in Cabin Creek district, but
1t will be some weeks before any OF
them are due to get in the sand. East
ern operators are not anxious to take
chances on validating while the mar
ext is low. In the meantime. they are
leaving nothing undone to keep tho
wells in the old districts producing as
much as possible. Shooting, cleaning
out and drilling the lower sands is
quite the thing in the lower districts.
