All Be Taken.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. September 9.-Acting Con-
trolier McCooey said today that he was alb
solutely confident that the entire issue OF
Sio.oO.OoO AZ per cent city bonds to be Of
fered at public sale tomorrow afternoon will
be sold and that he is hopeful that they
Will fetch a small premium. The controllers
mail this morning brought In enough bids
to bring the total received up to 200. Bids
were received this morning from San Fran
cisco. Kansas City, st. Louis, Chicago. Gin
cinnati. Cleveland. Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Boston and many cities and towns In this
state.
Mr.. McCooey said that one Of the largest
savings banks in the city had notified him
that the institution would bid for 81 ,OOO,-
900 or the issue. He continued to deny
all knowledge of the formation of one or
more syndicates to buy all or a major part
of the bonds. But the bidding so far the

jorty of local bids are always handed In

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, September 9.-The cotton
market opened steady, at an advance OF
three points TO decline of two points. The
gains at the beginning OF the call were due
to higher cables and bulish New Or
leans crop report. while the census report
published before the call was completed was
less bUllish than expected and caused the
declines on the later months Trading was
not very active. and selling on the census
figures was checked to some extent by the
expeCt atoms OF a bullish condition report
at the end OF the first hour, but prices
eased Of several points from last Satur-
days finals during the early session, and
just before the condition figures were pub
lishrd the market became quite weak The
report in itself was rather better than ex-
pected by the bulls. and right after It's
publication the market sold % to "a points
net lower.
The market continued unsettled during
the late forenoon. with prices ranging about

LOCOMOTIVES EXPORTED.
Demand for American-Made Engines
Steadily Increasing

NEW YORK. September 9.-The foreign
demand for American-made locomotives
continues to increase. During the seven
months of the current year ended July 81
the exports Of these machines were val
ued at $4,S13,41S, compared with $3,O24, 491
for similar period Of 1905, and 81, 1876. Isl
in 1905. The exports in detail appear in the
following table compiled by the Wall Street
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-09

The average price paid by foreign mer-
chants for these locomotives was slightly
over $4,000. The shipments to British
North America showed the largest gain in
creasing from $154.211 to ST. S4, 100 during
the first seven months of the current year
The railway equipment exports to this sec
ton of North America have been particu-
larly heavy in the past few years due to
the railway development there. But the
greater part of the movement Is over for a
time at least. This is shown by the steel
rail exports which have fallen of consider
ably. Naturally, locomotives would be the
last to show this decline, for the rolling
stock would be the last cared for and the
requirements Of the Canadian west are not
yet quite satisfied in this respect.
The far east. especially Japan, has been
making increased demands on American
manufacturers. The railroad development
of Central and South America has been
steady throughout this period.

BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 9.-Those who
have taken the most active part in stock
market speculation recently are inclined
to proceed with extreme caution until
definite information is obtaInable regard
ing various pending announcements. More
Importance is being attached to the city
bond sale tomorrow than to any other de-
velopment expected this week. 1t is still
maintained in some circles that the aver
age bid for the bonds will be surprisingly
high. A prominent railroad official says
this morning. however. that he would not
like to Ale bid Of 101, II he did not
have the money to pay for the bonds. 1t
Is predicted by some financiers that the
average bid will be better than 103, but in
conservative circles 1t is thought that the
average will be less than 102.
A stock exchange member. in discussing
this question this morning, expressed the
opinion that If the bonds should sell at
1O1 the market would decline pretty
sharply. There Is a considerable differ
ence Of opinion as to whether strikingly
successful outcome of the whole matter
has been pretty fully discounted in the
stock market Some interests think 1t has.
and that, consequently, the market will
not advance materially in case the number
correspondingly high. In some banking
circles. however. it is thought that sue
cessful city bond sale at this time would
be reflected to a considerab BILE extent later
on in both the speculative and investment
markets.
