LATEST FOR GOTHAM
Big New York Skycraper to Cost
$1o,ooo,ooo and VIII Be eoe Feet
Hgh-of Brick, Stone
and Granite
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Plans for a
new skyscraper which will overtop all
of New York's lofty buildings and the
f1agpole of which will pierce the sky
at greater height than the Eiffel
tower in Paris, the highest structure in
the world, were filed yesterday by ar
chitects for the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society with the building depart
ment.
The projected building for the Equit-
able will be 62-story structure. 909
feet from the curb to the tip of the
tower, upon which will be stepped a
fiagpole $50 feet in length. The ball on
the pole will be "a feet higher than
the 985-foot Eiffel tower.
The main building, which will oc-
cupy the site of the present structure
of the company on Lower Broadway,
covering an entire block, will be "a
stories, above which will rise a square
tower of 2S stories, capped with a
cupola.
The facades are to be of brick and
granite. The structure is to cost $l0,-
O0O,0 900.
The last steel rivet was driven yes

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK June S0.-There was fair
degree of activity during the nrst nour Oh
the stock exchange session TO-DAY. Appar-
emily 1t took about that length OF time 10
dernonstrate to the satisfaction of the pro-
fessional trader that there was nothing IN
the market. The Irregular tentative opera
tions largely ceased after that and the mar
ket lapsed into stagnation more profound
than ANYTHING that has been witnessed be-
fore this summer. The amount Of borrowed
stock that was returned to lenders In the
loan department revealed the extent 10
which Yesterdays light buying demand was
to be attributed to the deduction of the
fntstanding short interest. Strength from
such cause had little in. 1t to stimulate
speculative buying of stocks. The supposi-
ton that yesterdays faint demand was
herald of reinvestment buying with the pro-
ceeds of the half yearly Disbursements OF
profits was negatived by the disclosure OF
origin Of the buying. The holiday in pros
pect at the end of the week Is FACTOR IN
Tepressing speculation. The sentiment of
professional traders about the stock OK
change is quite generally bearish, and the
firmness OF tone is owing In no small part
to this fact, in spite Of the seeming con-
tradiction. The bearish sentiment of the
traders prompts them to sell stocks short
and every short sale implies necessity Tor
rebuying equal amount This is po-
tential element of hrlnness In the Market
as was demonstrated in the short lived ad-
vance Of yesterday. The non-success OF the
bear selling In dislodging any real hold
inga OF stocks Implies, on the otner hahn,
the determination of holders not to part
with their stocks at present prices. That
the floating supply Of stocks is scanty Is
obvious from the difficulty with which
shorts get back what they have sold. Here
come tho influences Of the extremely easy
condition Of the money market and the
general confidence felt in a profitable yield
Of the country's crops There was nothing
today to change opinions on those import
ant underlying conditions. A favorable i'm
pressiou WAS made by the RESUMPTION OF
construction work said to have been made
by the Union Pacific The wage settlement
announced by the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company had like influence. The
maintenance OF the Anaconda dividend
seemed to be expected Funds were offered
in abundance for loans for time with light
demand. Closing OF the fiscal year was
the occasion of the Q Der cent call loan
rates. The days price changes were mostly
small declines. Bonds we're steady.

count OF Sunday shipments, which banked

leading role, the chaperon. rendered
her several solos in voice clear and
sweet, and especially good for girl
of only Ia years. She was enthusiast

Among the most prominent in the
cast was Miss Hazel Landers as Mary
Ann. She sang and acted in q spirited
and winsoue way.
Horace Scarborough made a cute
ticket agent, and he and Harold Tor

little telephone skit. Ruth Squire was
the fascinating captain of the vessel

Her singing was good and her manner
particularly graceful. She was warmly
applauded.
Stillman Ingalls,, as the leading sailor,

tation. Hazel Hufford was a saucy
French maid. Miss Marie Haswell was
beautiful as q Spanish dancer. Her
graceful dancing captivated the aud
ience.
The pajama tots carried off chorus
honors easily. They sang well in con-
cert and their baby faces and birdlike
voices were very sweet.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 30.-The wheat market
opened weak on lower cables and favor
able weather conditions and continued
heavy most all day. The feature of trad

cry, which caused decline of nearly one
cent In the price Of that option and of &c
in September and December. Likelihood
that receipts of new wheat during the next
week or ten days. will be greatly increased
tended to weaken the local market. The
principal factor OF bullish nature was the
Illinois crop report which showed deteriora-
ton Of 10 points in condition during the
past month"; although improved demand for
cash wheat by exporters had considerable
strengthening influence and tended to steady
the market late in the day. The close was
easy. September opened v a nc to y @ 1sc
lower at S5%c to 86Mc, sold at S6Ac and
then declined to S51sc and closed at S5%c.
July ranged between S4&c and $40 and
closed at SAX @S4Ac.
Corn was in good demand and the mar
ket was strong all day. The close was
strong at almost the highest point at 70%c
for September and 69Ac for July.
Oats were strong on active demand by
commissions and shorts. The market closed
strong at almost the top notch, 39Ac for

FOR SNISHER
Is Lincoln County Though Some
of Its Citizens Voted
for Scherr.

Lincoln county is solid for the en-
tire Republican ticket" according to
a member of the delegation from that
county to the state convention.
The assertion has been made, also,
by one of the other members of the
delegation that every vote cast at
the rump convention was irregular
in It's entirety, and that none of the
delegates were there. The voting
was done, 1t Is said, by a Lincoln
county man who had no right to vote
anywhere and had no authority to
indicate the sentimnet OF the county
he comes from.
Lincoln county has been loyal
to Republican principals alwoys. :
said one of the delegates before leay-
ing for his home. and never recog-
nizes boiling aggregation. We
voted in the regular convention and
we're for Scherr. We would have
stuck to him till the convention end
ed had he not taken the step he did
and permitted a few sour minded
individuals to conduct his campaign
of vlllification. Mr.. Scherr was beat
en- squarely and should put his
shoulder to the wheel and do things
for the party which has kept him in
Office for so many years, and given
employment to his family"
