THE COTTON MARKET.
Dealings Narrow and Professional, and
Likely to Continue So.

NEW YORK. May 27.-It was a mar
row, professional cotton market today.
weakened at one time by the favorable
weather and the glowing crop accounts
the very bearish tenor of the Govern
ment weekly crop report and more OF
less selling by commission houses as
well as room traders. and rallying later
on covering by the trading element.
II is very narrow market, and is ex-
pected to remain so for the rest of the
week. as most operators are averse to
taking a decided stand one way or the
other, owing to the fact that there will
be three holidays in succession. the ex-
change adjourning Thursday night and
not reopening till Monday morning
Live pool cables were about as expected.

The light receipts had little effect.
being Offset by the very favorable crop
news and the dullness of the speculation
outsiders evincing little or no interest
for the time being Texas. Oklahoma
and Alabama complain of glassiness. and
in Southern Texas boil weevil and vermin
are causing some damage.

GORGEOUS BUSINESS PALACE.
"Lloyd's Register" Building in Lordor
Marvel in Ornamentation.

Just now London is pointing with
pride to what the Britisher regards as
the most gorgeous business palace in
the world. "Lloyd's Register" as the
new building is known. is located at II
Fonchurch Street. II has just been COM
pleted at cost CT s5OO.c0O.
The new building is not large, hence
its comparatively 2mall cost. 1t is coz
structcd OF the finest Portland stone and
is thing of great architectural beauty
frcm the outside. The carvings on the
porch ant the bronzes between the pill
lars are by Mr.. George J. Frampton, the
Royal Academician. and are executed in
his hest style. The weather cocks"
are two little ships of copper gilt, enc
a modern liner an the other an ancient
fifteenth century sailing boat. Valu-
able marbles. inlaid woods. mother of
pearl, and even jewels have been utiliz-
ed in tie decoration Of the interior
7. f. C2llcutt, TIE architect, recently
gave the press some details of his work,
which IN beauty OF design and wealth of
decoration is indeed masterpiece.
Quite the coEtiiost part of the build
ing. said Mr.. Collcutt. is the frieze
OF Lynn jenkins representing a process
sion Of medieval ships. The vessels
are Of bronze, the sky Of mother of
pearl. and the figures OF bronze with
ornaments OF roai sanphircs. The faces
are carved in ivory
The magnificent, fireplace in the library
is Of marble. carved by II. Pegram. and
the ceiling paintings are to be executed
By Prof Mcira. The ceiling itself is
vaulted and protusely decorated with
carvings and gilt. Round the paneled
walls are inlaid woods. The supporting
pillars are CT polished marble. The
inautelpiece Is exceptionally beautiful
carved marble. The fire dogs. OF old
Italian work. stand six feet high and
are worth $500. Even the clerks Of
fee is more suggestive Of palace than
business house. for it is lined with
marble. and the electric light fittings
are Of beaten copper. Valuable old
Persian carpets cover the floors.
The story of how the new luxurious
building came into existence is rather
interesting. For classifying ships
"Lloyd's Register" charges certain fees.
The income more than covered the ex
penses. and a large reserve fund ac-
cumulated. For the disposal of this
sum. outside the defraying Of expenses.
there was apparently no provision. SO
finally IL was decided to expend 1t upon
a building that should DO credit to Lon
don and take q high place among the
commercial palaces Of the world.

LOCAL AND GENERAL MARKETS
THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Corn Strong and Active, Sending July
Shorts to Cover.

CHICAGO. May 21.-During the great
er part of the day wheat ruled dull with
light trade but toward the end OF the
shorts owing to strength in July corn.
The market closed July y, September
and December 1sGh higher than last
night. Foreign markets were steady.
Continental markets were quiet. Cash
demand here was rather quiet and the
seaboard reported nothing taken for ex-
port today. Weather throughout the
spring and winter wheat belts was all
that could be desired.
Corn ruled very strong all day with n
large and active trade. The principal
feature was the covering by shorts on
fear of n squeeze in July That month
closed Is, while September closed only
y higher. Foreign markets firm. Coun-
try offerings we're much larger. in fact
they were liberal. Cash demand was
quiet the advance in the market check
ed these. A good deal of short corn has
been covered and it is generally thought
the bull party were free sellers on the
advance.
Oats-Trade in oats were light and
there was no special feature to the
market. \ good many May shorts were
reported to have settled at 44is July
closed AG% higher and September and
December practically unchanged. Coun-
try offerings were light. Cash demand
fair. Weather generally favorably fer
the growing crop.
Provisions opened stronger on less
hogs than expected and in the absence
of selling orders the leaders bid the
market up, but later. in spite of strength
in grain, the market ruled weak End
about as dull as it well could be. The
revival of trade in grain takes away
trade from provisions

Recent events have demonstrated
two things:
l. Copper is produced at less cost on tue
Verde Copper Belt than anywhere else IN the
world.
In Il suit recently tried in New York to which
Prof Trcadwe!l and Senator CLARK were parties
and in which the affairs of the United Nece
Copper Company were in issue. 1t was proved
by the books Of the company and the sworn
testimony of the bookkcepcrs that the United
Verde Company produces copper at cost OIL
three and half cents pound. without count
ing the gold and silver values. which reduce
the cust to a still lower figure.
1t is doubtful If copper is produced anywhere
outside of the Verde Copper Belt for less than
twice ;hat cost.
. The George A. Trradwell Mining Company
has more and better copperproducing property
on the Verde Copper Belt than any other min
ing organization.
Since the recent strike in the Cliff-one Of the
Treadwell mines-this Is demonstrated fact
The surface showings the Cliff have al
ways been recognized as better than those
on the United Verde, and the vein at the
depth Of the present workings is more than
four times the width of the United Verde
vein at the same depth, while the ore carries
at least equal values in copper, gold, and
silyer.
The Cliff. however. is only oae Of many mines
on the Verde Copper Belt owned by the George
A.Trcadwcll Mining Company. The Brookshre.
Badger. Pastime, Spoke and Stonewa!l, Green
Monster, and Iron Queen all give promise Of
making a good run against both the Cliff
and the United Verde for supremacy.
Taken all together. the Trcadwell Mining
Company has property magnificent in extent
and of unsurpassed value.
