HIGH WATER DELAYING
WORK ON THE HENNEPIN

c. NJ. Walters, of Sterling. division
engineer i'm charge of work on the
Hennepin canal, states that it viii
probably be some little time before
work of excavation can be taken up
owing ~ the high water. The Kinscr
Construction company, which has the
excavation contract for three miles
west of Geneseo, has completed about
half of its work and will begin soon
on the work for this season. But for
time the company will be able to
work on high spots only, for there is
50 much water in the ground that
foot or two of excavation brings the
eXcavators to a lake. The company
has considerable work that can be
done on high spots. and this Will en-
gage its attention until the water in
the ground soaks up.
Yesterday in Chicago bids were
opened for the construction of five
miles of the canal, beginning at mile
53 and running to mile 81. inclusive.
The west end of this work Is where
the canal crosses Green river. This l.
the first time that a contract of this
size has been let. the custom in the
past being to let contracts for a mile
at a time.

The purpose of the company is to CON
struct belt line adapted to accept
ing freight from all the trunk lines
and transferring and delivering it
east and west and north and south
without bringing it into Chicago.
The headquarters of the cOnstruc-
ton department of the company are

the road between Aurora and Dekalb
have been graded and the rails will
soon be laid. The line is being rap
idly located between MOmence and
Rockford, 100 miles. and an extension
is being surveyed from PeutOne to
Michigan City.
1t is part of a plan long contem-
plated by capitalists to solve in a
measure the problem of handling
through freight which can be diverted
from the terminals at Chicago and
trans ferred from one road to another,
instead of cOngesting at that point.
1T will give Il connection for points

market opened steady at an advance

rather better than due on the cables.
Immediately following the call favor
able weather in the South and indica-
lions of very large receipts caused a
slight reaction from the opening fig
ures, but the list soon rallied in the
absence of pressure to about 103
points net higher. Following this an
ticipations of a bearsh census report
at midday began to affect quotations.
Demand fell off and one or two of the
larger room traders had fair sized sell
ing orders,
Toward midday the market worked
down to 9.70c for January and was
around that level when the census re-
port was issued. This installment of
the report was taken bearishly, but
seemed to have been pretty well dis
counted for after selling off another
few points there was enough support
to steady the market and final prices
were or points up from the low
est. The closing tone was steady at
a decline of TO 10 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Port receipts were heavy, but eX-
ports were said to be about the larg-
est on record for any single day, and

BUREAUS REPORT
OF COTTON GINNED.

Washington, Oct 31.-The census Of
flee to-day issued a bulletin showing
that up to Oct. Is, 1904, 5,776,565 run
ming bales of cotton have been ginned
in 66S counties located in the various
cotton producing states, as against 3d.
455,0S2 running bales reported to the
same date in 1903. Counting round
bales as half bales, the number of
running bales for 1907 is reduced to
5,7O4570 and for 1903 to 3,345,7O2.
The number of counties in states
from which ginning is reported and
the number of running bales from
each state is as follows:
Alabama, S. counties, sol, 4S2 bales;
Arkansas, 81 counties, 216,457 bales;
Florida, 10 counties, 0,4SS bales: Geor-
gia, 124 counties, LOSE, 1918 bales; Louisi-
ana, AZ counties. 3O5, 1853 bales; Mis-
sissippi, 6S counties, 1886 bales; Mis-

Carolina, 81 counties. 31O,454 bales;
South Carolina (complete), 64S,577
bales; Tennessee, So counties, 7261s
bales; Texas, 139 counties, 1,96S874
bales; Virginia, counties, 5,145 bales.
The number of counties reporting
prior to Oct IS, 1903, was S12. The
number of round bales reported this
year is 143,9S9, as compared with 21S,-

The market gave every evidence of re-

SIGNALS sold long cotton on the rise
and went short for a turn. Then came
the third instalment of the ginners
report, which was construed as being
bearish. and every one turned to and
sold cotton. January declined to BLOC,
but reacted quickly to 9.75c. No sane
man would attempt to estimate the
amount of the crop from the amount
of cotton ginned up to Oct. is, and
we very much doubt whether any one
could come within 200, 900 bales Of what
the total report that is now being is
sued will be. Some say the total fig
ures will be $500. 900 and others that
the figures will be 6,600000. No one
knows and it really cuts very little
figure If they are 100000 or 100000.
Every one knows the weather is per-
feet. the cotton has been picked and
marketed and ginned with great rapid
ity and no one can know what per-
centage of the crop is represented by
the figures until the December figures
are ont
