OF great irregularity in Wall Street

o. ngh there were in the course
cnansr session some very violent
withks. The opening was strong
ectivzdvsnces averaging 2 points in
eene stocks and in the case of
poinral Motors running up ~
yoiyts. General Motors broke IL
rdbts from its high price; Mexican
pte and woolen more than 6; Re-
tblic and Crucible more than 5.
I'D others in proportion to their
1peculative activity. In the after
noon q covering movement took
place, based on expectation that
President Wilson would sign the
|railroed bill. The market closed
quiet and strong. an average of
nearly 2 points above the low fig-
ures of the day.
Money went as high as IL per
cent on call. but renewals were at
10 per cent.
Professional Wall Street is bear
|ish-enthusiastically so but conserv-
attve brokers resent the way the
money market is handled. On Thurs
day afternoon, for instance, large
volumes of call money were offered
on the Exchange and found no
)fakers at 10 per cent. Many brokers
have been glad to take the
| under 10 per cent, but were
omitted to do so.
...s- banking idea of forcing liqui-
and preventing proflteering
ssiness seems to be to outprofit-
the profiteers. 1t is very profit
for the banks.
for the advance and declines in
(today's market no explanation is
needed other than the technical con-
Hilton of the market. Wall Street
operators are all very bearish and
they are taking advantage of the
temporary rally expected to accom-
pany the signing of the railroad bill
|by the President. There is a large
short interest outstanding but 1t is
strong one and cannot be fright
Iened by anything that is liable to
happen in the near future.
1t is possible that call funds may
be a little cheaper for a week or
two for two reasons. Cash is being
accumulated in the banks by per-
sons who are getting ready to pay
their income taxes on March Is.
That money will be used so soon
that the banks can use il only on
call. The second reason is that
professional Wall Street is selling
stocks rather than buying them and
does not need money.

Cup Challenger
Gives New Ton
Hamper Trial
Race Between Shamrock ~
and % Meter Boat Called
Off Because of Wind
By Jack Lawrence

What was expected to have been a
triangular thirty mile race between the
Shamrock " and her 23-meter trial
boat, developed to-day into a sail
stretching spin for the Americas Cup
challenger.
The wind was light and variable and
the proposed race was declared off, in
order 20 give the cup hunter an opnor-
tunity TO try out the new top hamper
she rugged yesterday.
The new sky-scraping rig is loftier
than the old one and is figured to
reach point 1875 feet above the Sham
rocks deck. It is essentially a light
weather arrangement and calculated by
Charles Z. Nicholson. designer of the
challenger TO give her greater speed
N the softest airs.
The new topmast gives the British
boat greater spread of canvas, for
which she may be penalized in the
Official measuring, to occur in Brooklyn
next week, but Nicholson is confident
that the winner of the nterna tional
classic will be the yacht that can do
the best ehosting in breathless
atmosphere.
When Shamrock " returned to her
anchorage inside tire Sandy Hook
horseshoe Yesterday afternoon, Captain
Burton and Mr. Nicholson both ex-
pressed thems elves as being well
pleased with the way the new top
hamper worked. They declared it in

and was distinct Improvement over
the conventional club topsail she has
been using.
Inc sudden change in the lofty rig
OF the challenger is due to the fact
that her managers are now convinced
that the cup races will be sailed in the
highest airs. If soft weather prevails
II IS undoubtedly a fact that She will
derive greater power from her present
novel rig.
The new topsail is laced to top
mast that is exceedingly lofty. and at
It's foot is a spar that from the chal-
lengcr's deck looks like fish pole.
Inc stout sDars connected with a club

has employed blocks and other devices
to get around the international rule

Following in Fifth Event;
Nose Springs Surprise
By W. |. Macbeth

When is horse not a horse? Sam
Hildreth, one Of the very smartest
horseman in the racing game, cannot
answer the question. Hildreth allowed
Sunfash II. an odds-on favorite. to
start in the fifth race, at a mile. at
Aqueduct yesterday afternoon.
There IS no possible conception of
the imagination by which Mr.. Hildreth
could have started thishorse as favorite
or otherwise if he had known the horse
would have pulled up on three legs.
There are stewards IN the stand to
safeguard against mistakes. The YER
dict will await another day.
Getting right down to cases, yester-
days racing was pronounced triumph
for the oralists. Only one favorite
landed the brackets. This winning &C
complishment closed out the afternoon
George w. Lofts chestnut flly, Tama-
risk. won the final dash of five fur
longs in the very commendable time
of 100 Is.

Star. 1t was a dash at seven furlongs,
with $1,000 added In his last couple
Of starts Service Star had raced like
lemon, and very few were venturesome
enough to wage on his possibilities.
Larry Waterbury's Flibberty Gibbet
was regarded as money from home.
But he never figured at any stage Of
the proceedings. Service Star, outrun
through the early competition, raced
up to and made Flibberty Gibbet quit
at the furlong pole. 1t was a romp
from there in.
There was terrible upset in the
very first race of the afternoon. lemons
Bon was the choice, though it was
known the old geding's corns were
tender Poor Butterfly was another
good one that many good man climbed
aboard. When it came TO racing there
was only one horse in the dozen plugs
out for the mile and a sixteenth. Nose
had all the early speed and stood a
hard drive gamely when challenged by
Regreso.
The steeplechase looked bad. Steeple-
chases have looked bad long while
There is a suspicion that these steeple-
chases are all run and won the night
before. 1t may be base calumny
But the stewards are sometimes-well
just bit lax. It did seem that the
dusky Smoot, on Frank B., was always
looking around for a playmate. 1t may
have been q coincidence. But-well
no matter. Midas II, which was ham
mered down from 3 to l to to 5 at
the very last moment, went to the
front at the last turn and won about
as he pleased.
The Regret Handicap was only q
breeze for Marie Miller. In this dash
at six and half furlongs Marie Mil
Ter went to the fore in the first six
teenth. and under Clarence Turner's
fine ride, won just about as she
pleased Elected II was possibly the
best of the field, for she was crowded
back and herded in shortly after the
start. Laverne Fator was not able to
get out of close quarters till the field
Strengthened for the run home. Elected
then came like thunderbolt, but
