new addition completed and the gas
turned on under the monster new
tank, and will be making glass from
this addition in about ten days. This
new plant is modern in every way
and is very complete factory, which
will enable this factory to almost
triple it's present capacity, making 1t
one of the foremost bottle houses in
the Ohio valley. The present factory
is enjoying a good business.
The Bellaire Steel Co. are work
ing in all departments. The plant will
soon have the new laboratory complet-
ed, and the semblance OF the recent fire
will soon not be noticed. The steady
run of this plant is remarkable, as 1t
has run steadily for many months ex
cept the ten days that it was off on
account of the fire. This plant enjoys
the distinction of having the best run
of any Of the steel works that were
absorbed by the National, Steel Co.,
and for this distinction 1t deserves spe-
cial mention.
Anderson Brothers foundry is too
busy getting out their present orders
to think of closing down. There is
but one idea around this plant, and
this is hustle.
The Bellaire stove foundry reports
business good, and have their full force
of men fully employed.
The Independent Brick Company
have all their machinery on hand and
are rapidly getting it placed in posi-
ton. They will be making brick in the
near future.
The three stamping and enameling
works are all busy and enjoying a
good trade. All of these works are on
in full and working every day.
The Crystal Glass Works at Bridge
port is working only the upper fac
tory, and the lower factory will not
resume this fire, owing to lack of or
ders.

BRISK BUSINESS
 ON STOCK MARKET Bear Operators Burdened Mar ket With Selling Orders. STEEL STOCKS SHOW LOSSES Many Stop Orders Were Uncovered Liquidation Was Large of Speeula- tive Accounts-BondsH Have Lain
 Practically Dormant
STEEL STOCKS SHOW LOSSES

New York; Sept. 15-The main factors which caused the break in prices of yes- terday afternoons stock market continued in force today, and more business Was done during the two hours of Saturdays short session than on any full day for months Liquidation was plainly in evidence, and the bear operators added their selling to the burden of the market in the confidence that lower prices would enable them to cover at profit. The declines which they brought about in this way uncovered many stop-loss orders which had been placed in the market as a precautionary measure by recent speculative buyers. The points of weakness made it evident that liquida- ton was large on speculative accounts.
 In Peoples Gas there is a large short account already, and the demand to cover was large enough to keep that stock com paratively steady until near the close. 9th erwise the weakness was quite general and evenly distributed.
 The principal railroad stocks are down from l to 1A, the coalers, grangers Pa cifics and trunk lines being the principal sufferers. The steel stocks and the leading specialties show the same range of losses. These were extended from to points .n
 
 Northwestern, Erie first preferred and Baltimore and Ohio preferred. The bear traders covered in some stocks, but in others the selling continued in large vol ume to the close, which was active and weak. The decrease in the cash reserve Of $4,954200 came close to the preliminary inmates, showing that national bank notes have not taken the place of legal tenders to any extent in the outward currency movement. The loan expansion of $7022,- 600 is largely due to the operation of the German loan subscription, and is a remind CT that even if no gold goes out in payment of the subscriptions the demands upon the local money market will have the effect of absorbing available credits
 The lethargy of the stock market was unrelieved during the week and the linn ited activity and the narrow movements of prices were nothing more than rippIes the surface of deep and stagnant pool. other assigned cause for the torpidity elm- mated by events while still the money world persists in it's abstention from any dealings in securities. Last week the Yer mont elections were expected by the san guine to start the market.
 Bonds have lain practically dormant all week Unnted States new As have advanced A, the old As F, the refunding 2s when is- sued and 5s A and the 3s 1 per cent in the bid price.

Murphy q Uompany's Stock Letter

New York, September 15.-The London stock market was somewhat weaker this morning, causing a more bearish feeling here. There was heavy liquidation, and the entire list suffered. The Steel stocks were very weak, T. c. I. selling off from 6S1s to 67A. Sugar, after selling at 11S1R, closed at 117A. St. Paul was the weak feature of the Granger list, selling off over 1 per cent There was no particular news in regard to the strike in the coal region. The politi- cal situation and expectations of a heavy loss in the bank reserves coupled with apprehensions of closer money market con- ditions next week. The same influences were instrumental in depressing the Lon don market for Americans and in causing moderate selling here. Brooklyn and Man hattan were eXceedinly weak and closed at the lowest point. Missouri Pacific and Northern Pacific were also weak and lost over 1 per cent. The close of the market was weak and at the lowest point of the day.

Cotton Letter

Fairchild & Hobson's Cotton Letter to H. D. Cothran 6 Co. r New Orleans, September 15.-The Chroni- cle report today was bullish. It claimed a falling off in the condition from most sections and that Alabama in particular was suffering from excessive rains. From Texas 1t claimed that 1t had been unable to get any reliable reports of damage by the recent storm.
 Liverpool opened up 25 points and the market held steady at opening prices un- til shortly before New York's close when there was a stampede to cover short con- tracts, and prices showed an advance from yesterdays close of 4GQ50 points,
 The market continues nervous and re- spends quickly to news of any kind that would effect the condition of the growing crop or the trade situation in general.
 Present prices appear to us to discount the bullish situation and on any further advance judicous sales might not be in advisable The movement of new cotton continues very light.

New York, September 15-The cotton market opened steady, with prices up 2S to % points, and reached level of 25 to S1 points above last nights final bids be- fore bad scare of shorts showed the first sign of abating The bears were caught overnight by a startling bull swing of the English market and by a more pessimistic crop summary of the Chronicle" than ex- pected.

 Europe cabled important buying orders to representatives here and the South too, furnished considerable business on the bull side. The public bought with an encour- aging show of confidence, while the room trade, which had gone home heavily over sold last night in anticipation of further severe tumble, covered. There was slight reaction after the call under weekend sell ing of settlement character, but the mar ket as a whole was generally steady with the undercurrent of sentiment bullish.
