IN the Subjoined Statement

Especial TO News and Obseryer.)
New York. May 16.-During the past
ieW days many erroneous reports have
been circulated concerning my opinion in
regard TO the course Of cotton prices ana
my position in the market As a result.
have received numerous telegrams
from all over the country inquiring as to
the correctness OF these reports. As
cannot reply to all these inquiries per
7onally, and as | am unwilling to leave

ION under a misapprehension, | am com
PEELED 10 adopt this somewhat egetistoal
method of making my position clear.

pubic interview, expressing at the same
t!lne the opinion that prices would still

York cn that date closed at OF. They
subsequently, sold at 90. thus justifying
my prediction of higher prices.
Since that date ny opinions have been
unlmportant, and at present | have so
clearly defined my opinion in regard to
the market. Statistically considered the
position promises to become almost in
Ylncible by the end of the season, assum-
ing consumption to continue at the pres
cnt rate but the other hand, the
dghtness Of money and increasing lcthar-
gy of speculation in Wall Street, and
fear that the coal strike, which now in
wolves the idleness OF 1f5, 900 men, earn

may extend until it includes other i'm
portant industries are influences that
make against the value OF cotton. both

the next crop continues to promise Well

cotton can be resuscitated.

AN OLD LANDMARK
Platt Bros Old One Story Build-
 ing Has Been Torn Down.
STRUCTURE TO TAKE ITS PLACE

A Modern, Four Story Structure of
 Iron, Wood and Concrete-The Main
 Portion of the Building Will Be of
 Concrete and the Sight of Masons
 and Hod Carriers will Not Be Wit
 messed as on Other New Buildings The Platt Bros & Co, button manu- facturers on Brown street, have start ed an innovation in the building line. The old one-story- brick building which ran between the main shop and the Hardware Buckle Co.'S frame build- ing has been torn down. This was. used as the japanning department which has been transferred to new and modern structure in the rear, which is made mostly of glass. This old, low brick building was one of the the most familiar features in that end of the city. The odor of lacquer and 1 japan that emanated from it at all times of the year could be detected a mile away by stranger. In the summer time it was almost unhear- able when it came upon one suddenly, but after whiff or two it was not of fensive. The employees inside could easily converse with the poor fellow out of a job on the outside and give him tip when to see the boss for ] job. 1t was one of the old familiar buildings in the industrial life of tho city.
 But 1t is gone and a new and mod ern building that could hold it i'll one corner will go up where it stood. There is not vestige of 1t left. A large force of men and teams are engaged digging large cellar where once the rocking odor of japan permeated the atmosphere for quite a distance. The new building will be four stories high. It will be built of iron and concrete and a little wood. The walls will consist of concrete and will be laid by new method in which neither bricklayer, mason, carpenter nor bod carrier will play a part 1t will be an entirely new method of l building in this city. G. C.. Riggs has the contract His method of building is simple. Tons upon tons of concrete and stone are mixed and Ipoured in layers between two walls of vertical boards. Layer after layer is added until the building has reach ed the proportions called for in the contract. When the building is high CT than the average sized man ma chine hoists the material This ma- chine is built on the principle Of the endless chain. The receptacle hold x ing the building material moves on q lrailway like the buckets in a dredger.
 J. H. Hast, treasurer of the company,
 said to-day that he expects the build
 ing to be ready for the machinery by November

After a Visit
 New York, July 22.-The church of St Jean Baptiste, in East Seventy sixth street, yesterday was packed with men, women and children sorely afflicted, who echoed the priest $ Good St Anne, pray for usv' Most of them were so intent upon their own ills and their desire to be cured they at first did not notice one pale-faced lit tie girl, more than another, but later, when the iron brace was taken from her leg and she walked with hardly q perceptible limp, the word ran around, "A miracle, a miracle! Little Marian Oates has been cured"
 Marian who is not yet years old, walked to her home, No TYP East Eighty second street after giving up up her brace and receiving the con- gratulations of the other worshipers at the shrine.

She tripped and fell and that was the beginning. Her hip swelled, an abcess formed and I had to take her to the hospital. For more than year I had to hear her cry day and night and endure the agony of being unable | to help her. Last year l took her to make the novena, but my faith was not strong enough I did not dare to take off the brace, though I wept when l saw another child throw off its plaster cast and go away cured. kept on praying, however, and this year started with her on the first day of the novena, and have been every day since. 1 To-day I took new pair of shoes along. I thought it wouldn't hurt to l buy them,'' she added, "because if she wasn't cured I could have cork sole put on and she could wear them anyhow. But the good St Anne heard my prayer, and took off the old shoes with the brace from my Marian's feet l and put on her new ones. She walked home in them.
 t.I didn't want to save her just for myself or for the world,'' said the mother solemnly, "but I dedicated her to St Anne"
 Little Marian said she had no pain
 and she wanted to go on the street
 and play with the other children, but
 her mother restrained her until she should grow accustomed to going with out the support she has been accus toned to so long.
 Her father is Joseph Oates, an un dertaker's assistant, and she has two sisters and two brothers.
