THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept. 3o.-The stock today gave evidence that 1t had passed through all the usual ~:ounter -ductua- sions sn.c,5a which follow the cslminatiSn rs of tion.

This market attitude is partly a reflection of the commercial world ens of oraers penSns the decision. The feeble current in the days price movement did not sweep the whole list at any time. but ran in ed- dies affecting only a few stocks. These limited movements were brought about often by news or rumors affecting only the individual stocks. The break In fn- ternational paper preferred had an un, n, settling effect and was first attributed to damage to the company's property in the forest fires. Later the reduction Tn the dividend furnished a truer explana- tion.

The episode was sugges- tive of later revisions of opinion made necessar yof the extent of the snects or the financial crisis on business.

Savannah. Ga, Sept S0,-(speeial )-For a full period of fourteen days ending Tues day afternoon the local spirits of turpentine market remained stationary and generally firm at a basis of 35hc The trade as whole. apparently were we'll satisfied with prices about that level; the volume of sales was quite healthy and the total for ths week to a certain extent is believed to have exceeded that of the week prcding The opening Wednesday, (Sept. 23) was firm at 35hc. The close Tuesday was firm at the same level and the past two weeks were remarkable in that there was not a single fluctuation in prices during that whole period.
 The volume of receipts Is now beginning to fall off this applying to conditions in both markets. The demand is brighten ing especially from the usual foreign sources and the total outward movement for foreign ports. principally to the United Kingdom was, one of the features of the past seven days.

BELOW NINE CENTS COTTON TAKES TUMBLE WITH MEDIUM
 DEMAND. Dav Being Close to First of October with Local Notes Falling Due Caused
 Local Market to be
 Flooded.

Because the day was close on the last of September. when many a note fell que especially with the agricultural communi- fy wagon cotton literally poured into Mont gomery yesterday; and 1t is expected that as much will be received today. On par with the wagon trade was that of the railroads. and more cotton came into the city than any day far this season.
 The result of the influx was sagging market, the big shipments knocking the prices of both straight middling and mid ding below nine cents for the first time since the Birmingham meeting of bankers and farmers.
 There was only mediocre demand for cotton from the mill market and the price cents for strict middling and sA cents for middling.
 Futures followed suit being now more in- fluenced by the sopt market than earlier in the season, October closing at S.6s and December at 6 90.
 It is expected that to meet notes failing due that much cotton will come m for the next two or three days, and as result the market is not expected to stand the strain and prices will go still lower.

INTEREST IN IRRIGATION.
Good Progress Is Expected on tho
Williston Project.

Good Progress Is Expected on the
WiIIiston Project.
M. Bregugger of Williston was in
Bismarck last week in consultation
with Gov. Burke regarding the new
experiment station at that point.
In speaking of the irrigation project
at Williston, Mr.. Breugger said they
were all ready to start the pumps
again this season. The water was
turned into the canals last fall, since
which time the pumps have been idle,
but will soon be started; that is, as
soon as the farmers have prepared
:heir land for the use of water.
Irrigation is new proposition with
most of them, and considerable diff
Guilty has been experienced by the
farmers in getting their Individual
bitches in shape, but an expert has
been secured from Montana, and un.
der his instruction the work of ditch
ing is progressing rapidly, so that at
an early date great deal of land will
be under irrigation.
However, not great deal is expect.
ed the first year. but by the beginnii<
of the next season all the country
tributary to the main bitches that is
under cultivation will be watered.
Land values, Mr.. Breugger stated.
have already increased as the irriga-
ton work has advanced, and when the
water is fully on the land it is expect.
ed values will be double what they
were before the works were started by
the government.

WESTERN
COUNTIES
sRIsER IS DENIED NEW TRIAL,

Sensational Charge Was Not substan.
tiated.
A sensational charge that one of the
jurors in the trial of the case of the
State VS.. A. e. Miller, convicted of
giving a bride to Chief Of Police
Thomas E. Hagen of Minot, was tam
pered with, was not substantiated by
the facts, as they were revealed in
the arguing Of motion for a new
trial before Judge Goss.
The charge is based on the AFFIDAVIT
Of e. L. Sutton and r. M. Andrews Of
the firm Of Greenleaf & Leighton, to
the effect that they saw j. Smith, one
Of the Jurors, have a whispered con-
versation with States Attorney George
MCGEE while Kruse was on the stand
In the trial Of the case against Miller.
L. w. Gammons, former city attor-
ney, and M. j. Barrett, attorneys for
Miller, argued that this was one of
the grounds on which they urged a
new trial. The facts brought out
showed that Smith, seeing Judge Pal
da coming into the room, bent over
towards MCGEE and asked him if he
could see Palda, and MCGEE said:
"You will have to get permission
from the court"
Affidavits that this was the only re.
mark made were presented by Mr..
MCGEE, Assistant States Attorney
Murphy and by ]. Smith, the juror.
Gammons and Barrett also argued
that the evidence was not sufficiently
corroborated, and that the evidence as
whole was not sufficient to warrant
conviction. The motion for a new
trial was denied, and the case will be
appealed to the supreme court.

MlNor ELks' NEW HOME.

Beinq PREPARED.

Plans for Elegant Structure Are Now
Being Prepared.
The Minot Elks' building committee,
composed of R. c. Sanborn, DR.. c. F..
Sweet, Geo. w. Kemper, Chas. Grow
and T. P. Murlick, have been working
faithfully the past few days to devise
ways and means whereby the Elks
may build their home this year. So
confident have the Elks been that they
sold the small house on the building
site, removed the same, and the work
of excavation for the basement has
been going on for several days. The
building committee were given a free
hand to select plans, devise ways and
means for raising the necessary
money, and in fact do everything in
the way of preparing for the erection
of the building. It is understood that
Architect r. T. Frost of Minot will
make the sketch desired, and that his
plans will be, adopted by the building
committee. The idea is to call for
bids at once and let the contract so
that the new home can be completed
by Sept. i at least. The Elks are de-
termined to build, and will not let any
kind of barrier stand in their way.
The new home will be credit to the
city of Minot as well as to the Minot
lodge Of Elks.
