MINOR BUILDING NEWS ITEMS

II is understood that Chicago man
will arrive here this week to confer
with the Elks building committee rela-
tive to erecting . building suitable for
a hotel when the ELS build on North
Fifth near Broadway. He desires four
stories and basement, which would
necessitate the erection of a six story
building and increase the estimated
cost of the building, $4,000.
In addition to the Chicago man,
local men desire to rent the building
for hotel. The basement is wanted
for cafe, and it is thought that the
building committee is favorable to
the idea of erecting a hotel building
instead of one for . mercantile estab-
lishment. The question of building
this year has not been settled.

UNITED STATES STEEL BORE PRAC.
 TICALLY WHOLE BURDEN.
Over Distribution of Northern Securities 4 ssets Causes
 Q Flurry in Market.

NEW YORK, Sept 30.--United States Steel preferred bore practically the whole burden of supporting the price level in the stock market up to late in the day when there was e revival of the rumor that a settlement had been arrived at by compro- mise of the contest over the manner of dis tribution of the assets of the Northern &c., curities Company. A jump of points in Northern Securities on the curb resulted in Union Pacifics rise in sympathy on the stock Exchange The Western railroad and threw off the dragging influence which held them in check early in the day. Of- ftcial disclaimers of the reported settlement of the Northern Securities suit did not seem to alter the effect of the report. The buying of United States Steel preferred was in enormous volume. The indications that fluentiai banking houses added to its sen- timontai influence. There was no news to account of the rumor beyond the reiterated reports of expandihg demand for iron and the inference that a larger consumption of steel and It's finished forms would be a sequence. There were rumors in circula- tion again that the corporation was avail ing itself of its privilege to convert pre- ferred stock into the second mortgage bonds. but there was no official sanction for this report. The strength of the sto' . of steel biilets were being shaded below the price afreed upon nor by reported large or ders placed with outside tin plate makers at prices below the corporation schedule. AhS AaSbaIo pioNchueht Au luc OottoH Sdi riers attributed to the publication by an authority in the trade of an estimated condition of the cotton crop for Oct. show ing largeN deterioration from the Sept. condition. It was obvious that the strength of United States Steel preferred was available to a very large extent to take profits all through the general list and with the exception of the New York public service stocks and a few other spe- ciaities. there were no important advanceo until the late rise in Union Pacific released the market from some part of the restra mt upon 1t. The tranquility of the money market lessened the influence of a forecast of the currency movement, which gave promise of a decidedly unfavorable bank statement. although there some hesi- tation in the stock markets when the esti- mates of the cash movement first made their appearance
 Bonds were strong on a widely distributed demand. Total sales (par value), $6,35o.- 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 NEW YORK, Sept, 30.-This has been q Gay of combined liquidation and hammer tpg and unless all signs fail, the leading opportunity to cover his shorts. This would leave him free to proceed in a vigorous manner against the overwhelming short in- terest, a move which would easily succeed ns the decline of s4 per bale within the past ten days has fully discounted bureau report of 76 which seems to be about the popular expectation. Liverpool at first was Mot disposed to be very bearish. but heavy selling orders were sent from this side when known showing a deterioration of only 7.e in condition of the whole crop within the past thirty days and a trifling decline of only four points in the paramount State of Texas. Notices on October contracts circu- lated freely and by forcing liquidation of longs in that month added to the general weakness. Offers of spots from the South were free and taken altogether the news was distinctly bearish. In fact 1t may be said in the language of Wall Street that -all the bad news came at once" and 1t may therefore be argued that the down. ward movement has spent it's force by using all its ammunition at shot very large short interest now exists in the mar ket and there is no assurance that the bureau report to be published on Monday at noon will be as bearish as expected. T. would seem an easy proposition for bold operator to give the market a sharp upturn by an attack on the shorts. Prices have now reached a point which mills are likely to be heavy buyers and start work gener- ally on full time. It Is not to be expected that big corporations are going to remain closed down when they can get cotton at reasonable figure.

e. E. PIERCE s cos COTTON LETTER

sBy Private Wire from Gfbert 6 Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30.--The Liverpool market is fully responding 10 the American declines of yesterday was poor enough, but cables stated that q worse market would have ensued had 1t not been for the sup port of continental buying. The effect Of the large imports was noticeable in the heavy decline in spots of 22 points. while options lost points. A very fair initial demand served to sustain prices around ths slightly lower levels observed at our open- ing. the purchasing being principally from recent shorts. when satisfied, however, rs- sessions followed on aSSitional selling in considerable volume. Spots were in less demand with dealers showing more anxiety to sell and the receipts continue in large volume the 'nto sight for the week being well over a half million bales. The Septerl- Der movemet looks about 1850, 900 bales and Is the largest amount ever received in tha. month. This excessively heavy early move- ment in previous years has usually been indicative of a moderate to small yield but invariably has had e depressing effect on values. While present temperatures do not suggest the subject. the date of early fros. will be awaited with the greatest interest, as the ultimate size of the yield will be graduated by this <Tnost important influ- ence. Ideas of the bureau figures, to he read on Monday. range from T2 to 7S with some estimates considered extreme as low as 6s. The comparisons will be with s4l last month and s5.1 last year and a ten yearS' average of 6e.s. The average con. dition in 1898. when the largest crop was grown, was 7S.A at this period.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISlONS-
 CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Stmulated by re- ports of covert purchases by a prominent trader who was ostensibly an open seller. the wheat market today turned from weak ness to strength and December closed x q X higher and May 1G1H higher. Corn lost a shade, oats and provisions about un' changed.
 At the opening sentiment in the wheat pit was rathcr bearish on heavy shipments from Argentina, liberal receipts in tho Northwest and weakness in foreign mar kets, December opening a shade higher to h 0 Lc lower at 1.11% 9111h md May t c touching 1.12, December declined to 11lk and May sold off to 1.1l%. The main fea- ture of trading was series of operations by the leader of the bull crowd The belief was general that although this operator was an open seller. his purchases through brokers more than offset the sales. The a St. Louis trade Journal construed as bull ish, increased the strength, the report showing delayed blowing and seeding op- erations in the Southwest. IA this connee- tion the claim was made that many flour mills south of the Ohio River are already drawing on accumulative points for sup plies. December advanced to 1l2% 91.13 and May to 1.l3% and the market held firm the remainder of the day, December clos ing at 1.12% and May at L13% @a 43k. Clearances equaled 112, 200 bushels.

Duluth and Chicago reported ss6 cars against ss7 last week and 746 a year ago.
 An easier tone prevailed in corn early, owing to liberal receipts and an alleged bearish Missouri crop report, showing the total yield in that State to be 100000 in excess of the Government estimates Later in the day an announcement was made that the official Missouri report had not been published. This resulted in a considerable rally. The market weakened again. however. on realizing and the close easy.
