]. +. BLISS-A building commission
should be appointed, and the group
plan favored. A good location for
grouping the public buildings can be
found in the square west Of the Court
House.
wM. BARNETT-The old site was
good one, and the Doyle property
across from II would also make good
location.
F. L. ROCKWELL heartily agree
with Mayor Doyle and Senator Grouse
that building commission should be
appointed.if we decide that new one
is necessary, and favor waiting

A. b. RHINEHART--I agree with
Mayor Doyle and Senator Grouse.
FRANK Whatever
else we do.let us not move in haste.
Give the people a chance to discuss
this question. The Doyle property, at
the corner of. Quarry and Main. would
be good location, and believe it
could be purchased reasonably through
condemnation proceedings. The site
mentioned in the resolution Is too far
south.
COUNTY CLERK f. A. HERSHEY
I do not favor public building in too
public a place. The City Hall should
be in a quieter location than that of the
old one. If you can get 1t away from
street car track would do so.
Good locations can be found on High
ST., and believe this street will event
ually become one of our business
streets, any way.
B. l.. DODGE-I am in favor of de-
ferring action, until the finances of the
city are in better shape. The location
recommended believe Is too far from
the business center of the city.

coal strike and the possibility of its early
extension amongst the soft coal miners mas
been generally ignored.
The May reports of the anthracite carry
ing roads offer the frs s-opportuntty TO esi-
mate the losses involved in the paralysis OF
the coal trade but the large declines in
earnings thus shown w-re without appar-
ent effect upon the stocks of the railroads.
Some effect has been produced upon sentl-
ment by signs of discomfort In other de-
partments of the labor world. but this has
found little active result in the stock mar
ket. The underlying conviction is strong In
the financial district that the prosperity of
the country is, on thu whole. still well
maintained.
High Level of Railroad Earnings.
The sustained high level of railroad earn
ings al average increases over last years 5
earnings, the volume OF bank clearings, es-
pecially outside the speculative centers, and
the extraordinary activity of the iron trade
in all its branches are taken as corrobor-
ative evidence of this. CONFIDENCE Is gen
eral that the years crops Will be large, not
withstanding the weeks reports of some
unreasonable weather for the corn crop
and for winter wheat harvesting, and the
need of the Texas cotton crop of rain.
There remain some msgivings regarding
the course of the money market during the
fall demand of currency and the maturing
of foreign loan obligations may converge
upon New York. There Is notable neglect
also of the industrial stocks as class.
with United States Steel as leader. The
heavy and neglected tone of these stocks
is attributed TO uncertainty regarding their
financial organization. which Is aggravated
by the issue of bon1s ahead of the stocks

pit. however, for some time and worked
most of the wheat had been cut in the
country, where rains were falling. Many
of the local crowd took profits rather than

Corn.
Corn still showed marked strength on the
demand by shorts. Wet weather was re-
ported generally in the corn belt, but
whereas IL helped Texas, 1t hurt the crops
elsewhere. Advces from many sections
stated that the main root of the plant was
rotted of. At the opening prices were
very strong. Shorts bid July sc to 11sc
higher at 69kc to 1Oc. the latter the new
record price for the crop. Offerings for
profits ct top figures at once brought a
slump to 6s1sc but the constant bad reports
from crops. especially from Iowa, pushed
prices up again. Receipts were a little
larger at 2S3 cars. but little attention was
paid to statistics. The weather and the
short bidding ruled the market. Sept. and
Dec advanced with July, but free profit
taking in these two options brought par
tial declines. July closed strong, lc up, at
693sc. Sept. sold at 5lTsc and closed firm at

wages are made by the negroes. The strikes
are usually headed by Big Pete" who. II

Yesterday before the packet sailed the
dusky labor organizer gathered the crew on
the ievee and by adjuration succeeded In
restraining. all but five from making the
trip. The boat cleared late in the evening.
after the managers telegraphed to lower
river landings for men to meet the boat
Big Pete" was indignant at the men who
deserted, and says he will place them on
the black list when his union is formed,
which. he saws. will be affiliated with the
Coal Passers of America.
The average pay of the roustabout ranges
from $50 to SIS a month. The trouble yes
terday was caused by the rainy weather.
