stances and perhaps typical of a war
market which SWAPS from all buyers
to all sellers and back again without
warning. Traders had been the prin-
Cipal sellers creating a local short in
terest and as the specialists were with
out orders. the unexpected appearance
of buyer for 1000 shares was the eX-
PLANTATION.
The stock was the pivot of the mar
ket all day. rising to its maximum
figure in the early trading. falling two
points and then swaying around 81.
Among commission houses there is an
undercurrent of bullIshness which en-
courages purchases on the drops, while
on the floor the traders delight in
pounding the price whenever possible.
The market on the whole was heavy.
Motor stocks dropped two to four
points. Other specialties sympathized.
Grain Traders Frightened.
1t is not expected that there will be
much incentive to bull stocks until
reply is received from the German gov
eminent.
While the Fastener had his ear to
the ground listening for war, the
Westener had his eye on the wheat
fields looking for bugs. Both became
alarmed during the first hour and sold
stocks. The move was not extensive,
however. and the decline did not bring
out liquidation

STEAMER ENDEAvoR SOLD.
Brings 81, los When Put Up Recent
" for Highest Bid.

After many years of service in the
coast and geodetic survey, the old
steamer Endeavor has passed into pri-
vate hands and possibly will be con-
verted into a commercial craft. Bids
for the sale of the vessel recently were
opened and the Boston Iron and Metal
Company of Baltimore was found to be
the highest bidder. The bid was ac-
cepted and a few days ago she was
turned over to her new owners.
The price paid was S1,105. The build
ing of the Endeavor was started at
Norfolk in 1861 and she was designed
for service as a Confederate gunboat.
Money raised by the women of the
south was to have paid for her, but
before she was completed she was cap
tured and was used against her de-
signers.
Capt J. B. Boutelle. who was the last
commander of the Endeavor. has been
assigned to duty as inspector OF tne
puIf coast of the United States, with
headquarters at Galveston, Tex.
