The World Of
Finance and Trade
NEW YORK COTTON
PRICES WORKED LOWER AGAIN,
WITH MORE LIQUIDATION.

Special Ds1ah to The Star.
NEW YORK. October with a weak
Liverpool and fine weather in the south,
prices worked lower again this morning.
January sold at 9.91. with March within 8
points of 10c. There was more liquidation
and stop loss orders were reached on the
decline. and from the selling In evidence,
the liquidation that started after the Wash
ington report had not yet run Its course.
This was the general impression, and as
weather was favorable the market had little
support save from those who were short
and were inclined to cover on the democrat
ization In the future market that mas not
as yet been attended with corresponding
decline in actual cotton.
A large quantity of futures had been
bought on the short crop theory ana the
market, once started. was expected 10 DC
carried farther than the known facts war
ranted AS long the market INDICATED
there was cotton for sale and no aggressive
demand from new buyers that would turn
the price, operators were not lnciinea "
work for q reaction.
The fact that several settlements on ac-
tual cotton have been recently at paslS
that seems satisfactory to spot people, ana
the extensive liquidation recently under
way led conservative interests to cover
short cotton. Many felt that the decline
had eliminated so much OF the long interest,"
that as long as the south seemed inciiheo
soon be In much healthier and much
sounder condition. This was helped by the
heavy buying by spinners, and the 1act tnal
so much cotton has been bought by the
trade the last few days. Any change IN the
weather would lead to a sharp rally, since
the New York market was so much DeloW
spots in the south.
Trading was on an extensive scale, but
the tone did not reveal the weakness notlce-
able yesterday. Though prices were SIX 10
ten points lower, buying was heavier anu
this prevented as severe a break during the
early trading as the case yesterday.
The buying did not rally the market much
and liquidation seemed to be still the factor,
and no one could say when it would De
over.
Rradstreets says: "Advices this week are
of rapid picking of the crop favored by
favorable weather, except in the lower MIS-
out much cotton, and in parts OF Texas,
where boll-weevil damage to the late crop

The Chronicle says of the dry goods s1tua-
ton: while there are some who believe
that the break in cotton will result IN lower
prices for goods, this view Is generally rldl-
culed by sellers, who state that the statis-
teal position is such that buyers cannot
possibly hold for more than short time,
that 1t would take very serious decline IN
the price of cotton to materially aaffect the
price of goods, and that from present indi-
cations favor a further advance rather than
a lowering of values The inside figures
for the week were 100000 bales, against
$4,000 bales last year and $4,000 bales IN
1900 The visible supply of America is now
100000 bales, against 1,65O,OOO bales last
year. Exports for the week were 1877 ,OOo
bales against 23SO0o bales last year.

1t is reported from Philadelphia that the
Pennsylvania railroad has decided to place
an order for II, 800 steel passenger coaches
costing about $1,000. co., 1t is probable that
the order will be given to the Pressed Steel
Car Company, which has recently completed
plant for the manufacture of that class OF
equipment The cars will be used on the
limited fast trains between New York and
Pittsburg, and others will be built later for
suburban service. Steel cars are now being
tested on the Long Island railroad.
The Erie Railroad Company has placed an
order with the Barney & Smith Car Com
pany of Dayton. Ohio, for the construction
of an experimental steel passenger coach,
which, when completed, will be used In the
suburban service in the New York district.
If this coach proves successful it is quite
likely that the Erie will adopt it as a stand
ard passenger coach for the entire system,
equipping first the suburban service.

SECURES NEW QUARTERS

The regular monthly meeting Of the
library board was held Yesterday at 4
pm in the directors room Of the
library. The first action taken was on
the question of the proposal Of the
directors of the Minneapolis Society OF
Fine Arts to finish off the new gallery
portion Of the library in such shape
that it could be used for the increased
needs Of the Minneapolis Art. school.
The library board accepted tho propo-
sition, and work will at once begin on
the upper floor, of the annex. -
The Society Of Fine Arts agrees to
put in permanent flooring and a second
skylight at it's own expense, with the
understanding that the library board
will repay the art society as soon as
funds are available for such purpose.
Such interior special work as is needed
for the purposes Of the school lin the
way of partitions. etc., will be done
by the Society Of Fine Arts alone. The
society also furnishes heat. The art
school thus gains much better conven-
iences and will be so we'll equipped as
to room for the present that it will be
possible for the many plans Of the
school in the way of EXPANSION to ma
ture. The new room will be ready in
December.

TRAINS COLLIDE
AT CEDAR LAKE
CARS ARE DEMOLISHED AND ONE
MAN INJURED.
Maple Plain Stockman Is Hurled Un-
conscious into Icy Water When Stock
Train Strikes Delayed Freight on
Great Northern-Cars Catch Fire and
Are Consumed.

A stock train on the Great Northern
road crashed into the rear end of de-
!ayed freight on the north side of Cedar
Lake, at .l0:3O last night, causing the
painful injury of one man and the de-
struction of several cars. The stock
train completely demolished the ca
boose of the freight and hurled Rich
stockman, who was standing on the
caboose steps, into the icy waters of the
lake. There he was rescued in an in
Jured and unconscious condition by
Officer Farrell Of the fifth precinct po-
lice station. H..
The rear freight car of the waiting
train was thrown on top Of the one
ahead, and caught fire from the locomo-
tive Of the stock train. The fire de-
there was no hose hydrant in the neigh=
borhood, and three cars were partially
destroyed and the engine cab wrecked
before the flames were under. control.
The wrecked cars were uncoupled from
the train and left to their fate.
On rescuing Mr.. Benhart from the
lake, Officer Farrell, with the aid Of
several trainmen, took him to the en-
gine of the freight train, where he was
made to revive him. Before long, pas
senger train No. 4 arrived at the spot
and Mr.. Benhart was removed to one
of the passenger coaches, where be
could be made more comfortable. On
arrival of the train at the union depot
he was taken to St. Mary's hospital.
This morning the attending physi-
clans report the injured man will re-
cover; that he was badly bruised and
cut up, but sustained no serious injury,
and the only fear is Of complications
as result Of the patient IS exposure af-
ter being in the icy water.

TIMBER FRAUDS ALLEGED
NINETEEN SUITS INVOLVING
NORTHERN MINNESOTA LANDS
FILED IN ST. PAUL FEDERAL
COURT. ~ ~.

Nineteen suits, involving large tracts
Of timber land in northern Minnesota
and growing out Of alleged land frauds
Of Frederick A. Hyde, John A. Benson
and c. w. Clarke. of California, were
filed in the federal court at st. Paul
yesterday The suits are brought
against the three defendants and a
large number Of lumbermen who are
alleged to have purchased lands Sc
cured illegally.
In these cases, the government claims
that the three defendants filed applica-
tions for purchase of large tracts in
California. These lands were bought
at low prices in the names Of fictitious
persons.
Having acquired these cheap lands
thru these methods, the government
alleges, the three defendants employed
officers in the government land service
to assist them in procuring the selection
Of such lands to be set apart as forest
reserves. They would then, so it is
alleged, relinquish these lands and take
valuable timber lands in Minnesota
and other states, III lieu Of those relin-
quished. . sJ1@
The government now asks that the
patents to these lands be declared void,
on the alleged ground that they. were
obtained thru fraud, and the title be
decreed to be in the government.
The complaints, which 90 into the de.
tails Of the alleged transactions very
minutely, were drswn in the office of
United States District Attorney c.. G.
Houpt and we're filed yesterday. = The
| lands included in the suits are located
in Cook, Itasca, Lake and st. Louis

STARVED A BABY
TO SAVE MONEY
NURSE RESPONSIBLE FOR LITTLE
CHILD's SHOCKING CONDITION.
Left by Father who Concealed His
Identity, 3-Months Old Girl Wastes
Away to Skin and Bone, While Her
Custodian Rakes in Money for Her
Board. "

After three weeks on condensed milk,
and little Of that, Doris, a 3-months-old
girl left in the care of hired nurse, is
dying at Bethany Home.
The child was left with the nurse by
her father, who concealed his identity.
The payments on her board were
prompt and liberal p, The profits to the
nurse were large, but she tried to swell
them by reducing the child's rations.
Soon the first custodian Of the child was
forced to leave town and transferred it
to another of her kind. This woman
continued to draw upon the father, and
followed out the reduced ration policy
of her predecessor.
Tuesday the woman made the mistake
of leaving the child with Mrs. Harrison,
who lives at Al Western avenue. Mrs.
Harrison noticed that the child had not
been we'll cared for, and on investiga-
tion found that it was nothing but a
wasted bundle Of skin and bones
The kind-hearted woman took the half
starved child under her care and re-
fused to return it, to the nurse who
called for it in the evening.
The case was brought to The attention
of the Humane society and the child is
now in Bethany Home. There is little
hope that it will recover from the ef-
fects of it's long period Of practical star.

WILL MAKE STATE SUE
BIG TREsPASs CASE COMING TO
AN ISSUE IN ST. LOUIS COUNTY.

The state trespass case against the
Shevlin- Carpenter Lumber company, in
volving timber valued at $4,000, cut
after the expiration Of the permit, will
not be settled, according to present in
dications. It has already been fled, and
will come up for trial at Duluth in JAN
uary.
The company paid the value Of the
timber once, but as it was cut after the
permit had expired, the state timber
board has demanded double value. This
was not to be considered final, but sub
ject to approval of the legislature. The
lumber company objected to paying its
money under any such contingency, as
there is no way it can be recovered af-
ter once being paid. They wanted to
place it in escrow, but the timber board
would not consent.
If the case goes to trial the state
will claim that the $4,000 paid mere
ly settled the obligation Of the permit,
which requires the timber to be paid
for, whether cut or not. 4 claim of
wilful trespass will be made, calling
for three times the value Of the tim
Der, in addition to what has been paid.

LAWS FIRE THEIR
ROOFING CAPTAIN.
sCALPING FOOTBALL TICKETS
THE CHARGE PREFERRED.
o. A. Frantz Accused OF Holding Back
Seats Given Him for Rooters, Is De-
posed In Mass MISUNDERSTANDING
Yell Themselves Hoarse at Most En-
thusiastic Antegame Meeting.

AS result Of the undergraduate
sentiment against student ticket scalp
ing, G. A. Frantz, roofing captain. in
the law department., was yesterday de-
posed from office at a mass meeting
in which he was openly accused Of
holding back seats which had been
given, him by. the athletic management
Frantz was also charged with violat-
ing the rule limiting the sale Of rooter
seats to one to student, and other
regulations laid down by the football
management.
In the distribution Of rooter seats,
Frantz was allotted 244, but when the
law students lined up for seats, it is
claimed that the supply was exhausted
after fifty men had obtained seats. AT
the meeting yesterday Frantz denied
that he had acted unfairly, but the stu
nation and Chester Pratt, middle
law, was elected rooter captain in his
place. The case will be referred to the
faculty by vote Of the students who
attended the meeting yesterday, and
the charges against Frantz will be thor
oily investigated by the auditing board.
Rumors of student ticket scalping are
being investigated by undergraduates
and other developments are expected.
Rooters Shrek Loyalty.
University students proved their 10y
atty and faith in the Minnesota team
by packing the chapel at last night g
mass meeting and shouting and choer-
ing for the gopher football heroes until
lungs refused to work. It was the most
enthusiastic mass meeting in the his
tory Of the university, and when DIR.
II. L. Williams ordered the football
men off to bed, not man on the team
student feeling.
Governor, John A. johnson was un-
able to attend, but Mayor David P.
Jones, Alderman Fred B. Snyder, Isaac
Kaufman and other football enthusiasts
| appeared on the platform and were
called on for speeches.. Bert Page, for
mer center on the team, told the root
ers that he expected the team to win
and when DR.. Williams mounted the
! platte the rooters fairly went wild
in their efforts to voice their apprecia.
tion Of the good work the gopher coach
has done for tho Minnesota team during
the past four wears. DR.. Williams told
| the rooters that the game was to be
close and hard, and he asked for the
moral and vocal support of every Min
nesota undergraduate at the game to-
day.
Music for the meeting was furnished
by the university band, and songs and
yells were rehearsed for the game to-
! day. After the meeting, a huge bon
fire was built on the corner Of Fifteenth
and University avenues. and the root
ers sang and danced around the blaze
until midnight.

FROST NIPs POTATOES
In Many Sections Tubers, Had Not
Been Dug When Cold Came.

Northwestern potatoes suffered Sc
verely from the touch Of winter early
in the week. In many sections Of
North Dakota, and in some places in
Minnesota the tubers had not been dug
as yet; Just the extent of this dam
age is not known as yet, but it is be-
lieved to be considerable. In addition
there were a number Of cars Of spuds in
transit that were frosted. ~
These factors were expected by some
of the trade to boost the potato prices
rapidly this week. But the facts that
have developed 50 far have not war
ranted any belief that prices will shoot
right up. Indeed |, in the twin city
market there has been an advance Of
only about cents bushel this week,
not enough to indicate that the buyers
were scared very badly. .... +.
Other field vegetables were injured
by the frost, also.ssa"A good deal Of
cabbage was ruined. Aa result the
market has advanced rapidly, being
about SIS a ton above that Of last week:
Onions were affected the same way and
