enough to accommodate an audience
of 5000 people, it forms but part of
the enormous main buildings of the
exposition.
The conception of the idea of an ex-
hibition to illustrate the astonishing
growth of the export trade of the Unit
ed States in recent years was the out
growth of the tour of the representa-
tives Of various foreign governments
who came here to study our Industries
in 1897. The result was thus inaugur-
ated in an exhibition of American
trade movement and mechanical and
art enterprises of n most surprising
and interesting character.

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 12.-The first
section of the Colorado soldier train
reached here at $40 last evening, just
about twelve hours late. according to
the schedule made. The other sections
have been from three TO four hours
behind the first all day long and did
not stop here. The Southern Pacific
promised TO bring the regiment to Og-
den in thirty-six hours, but took forty
nine hours to make the run.
Salt Lake City had prepared a fine
reception. which included a short pa
rade through the city, a concert at
the Tabernacle and lunch for the Off
GERS and ladies mt the club. 1t was
discovered early in the morning that it
would be impossible to arrive in Salt
Lake before dark and Colonel Mccoy
wired Governor Wells that the regi-
ment would be obliged to forego the
proposed parade and would stop an
hour to shake hands. When the train
pulled into the Rio Grande depot they
were met by a crowd numbering into
the thousands, who cheeted loudly for
the Colorado boys. while brass band
added to the din.
Governor Wells and his staff and
nearly all the officers and men of the
Utah battery, who We're comrades of
the First Colorado in Manila. and the
officers and ladies were bundled into
carriages and given Il ride around the
city. The men were told they had an

three escorts for each soldier

Talbntt & PaImer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York October 11.-Stock market movements today were again very uncer- tain and in the main limited. The warlil1e continuation of the situation in South Africa was not followed by the perhaps generally expected decline in the London stock mar lxet. Within the course of the day eonsols did decline materially, but the cables show ed that American stocks were much higher than at yesterdays close. The subsequent dealings in this market for foreign account were on too small a scale to be of use in Cincinnati & Chicago advanced rather sharply and Cincinnati & Ohio moved up in sympathy on reports of progress towards the consolidation of the two lines. Sugar, Tennessee Coal and Iron, and a few others also scored sharp rises but were after wards lost in the general reaction during the first hour. Probably because of the fn- difference shown by the London market in regard to South Africa, and further on &C., count of the expected relief to the money situation by the payment of interest on the government debt, the market, after open ing with an uncertain tone, developed strength and in the first hour number of notew orthy advances were scored There after however general irregularity develop ed and the market lost all of the animation that it showed after the opening and most of the gains scored in the first hour. Apart from the speculative influences and steady tone noted, there was nothing to affect the situation. Sterling exchange advanced fur ther, a partial result of the easier local money market

It looks as if exporters were scramblng for wheat, on fears of a further advance in freight, and what with the foreign news, higher prices may be looked for in the near future. There is very strong bear party however, who are inclined to fight all advances.

PRICES FELL FLAT IN STOCK MARKET
TransvaaI Situation Was Almost
 Without Effect.

Business in Bonds We'll Distributed With Downward Tendency and the Total Sales at Par Value
 Amounting to $2,OS5,ooO

New York, October 1.-The stock mar ket fell flat again today The dullness made evident that yesterdays upward squirt was due almost entirely to covering by shorts, who today were inclined to regret their precipitancy. The warlike situation between England and the Transvaal was all most without effect. In fact. the London market seemed to feel rather encouraged than otherwise over the termination Of the uncertainty. and operators there were in- clind to bid up the prices of some of the American stocks. The rise was short-lived on this side and the dragging tendency of prices was not much changed at any time until the close of the market al prices be- low last nights level all around.
 The money market was distinctly easier. The causes of this were quite apparent from the extension of trade in offering to anticipate the government interest pay ments for the remainder of the fiscal year. For one thing, the sub-treasury figured at the clearing house again today asa deptor for over a million. Government dlsourse- ments are running quite heavy, due Tn large part to pension payments. mere was a sum of gold received from Havana on ac- count of postal revenues and small addl- tional shipment of French gold wes re- ceived.
 The rate for call money ruled for the greater amount of loans at 71S per cent and fell to per cent in the late dealings. Not so cheerful a view was taken or the effect of the treasury departments acton with regard to anticipated interest Under the terms of the department order, the amount of interest to be paid out this week is only about $1 500, ,O00, and that not until Friday. Of course, only part of it IS pay able in New York. The next disbursement comes on October 23. The requirement for the presentation of registered bonds for ln- dorsement before payment Is made, IS also expected to operate against general ac- ceotance of the interest. The action Of the treasury department nevertheless has had the effect of allaying apprehension Tn Wal street but it is perceived that whatever re- lief is afforded is not likely ito furnish a supply of surplus funds for the benent or stock speculators.

 New York, October 11.-It is evident that Liverpool puts no bullish construction on the bureau report. Bulls, however, on this side assert that the figures have been dis counted. We rather suspect that Liverpool Is being guided largely by the s.afistiEsil situation as revealed day after day ratper than by possible happenings later on.

The appearance of buying orders In good numbers caused surprise. Receipts are being closely watched. and the fact that they are tagging behind is a hindranee to bea rish opera tions and encouraging buying on every break. After the preliminary movement prices were to lower, but later went off 2 to additional, net de- cline of 12 to 13 points being shown in the first hour on receipt of selling orders from all quarters. Liverpool declined points; spot sales, 10,080. As expected, the market in the afternoon presented prices. People who sold early in the day were

SHORTS VIGOROUS ATTACK

New York October 1.-The price of cot ton reached a much lower level in the mar ket this morning. but subsequently rallied and closed within 5 points of last night $ figures. Considering the action of our mar ket yesterday, Liverpool today showed weakness var.ously accounted for by pri7 vate cables. One report had it Neills crop circular and the warlike attitude of Eng land and the Boers had forced holders to unload and induced general short selling abroad. Another source claimed leading bears on this side had sent over large sell ing orders, and these, combined with heavy pressure from bear circles in Liverpool, had brought about the heavy decline. Our mar ket opened to points under last night and continued to decline most of the fore noon January at one time selling at 6.9l and May att 7.05. Shorts attacked the mar ket vigorously and enormous amounts of long stuff were forced overheard by the outside public and even a number of bulls sold out goodly portion of their hold ings
 For while excitement was at fever heat
 and nobody seemed to have the faintest iGea as to where rhe selling movement would carry prices. Shortly after midday; however. there was a marked change and prices were soon rapidly advancing, Janu7 ary reaching 7.0i. Supported by official estimates for another light movement at the ports tomorrow and another batch of
 bullish crop and other information from the cotton belt, the market stubbornly re-
 sisted further pressure. number of
 staunch outside houses sent in large buy ing orders with the result that shorts were soon scrambling to cover.

Notwithstanding the weakness dis played by the foreign market, first prices here were higher than 1t was thought the market would open at January 6.H This stubbornness, however, soon gave way un- der the pressure coming from longs in their efforts to lfauidate which the bears en- abled them to do on a declining market, in consequence January sold down to 6,64. After the longs quit selling, bears withdrew and the market was in the ascendant again. A notable feature of today's market was the absence of offerings from the country, even on today's weak opening.
