LARGE CONTRACTS IN IRON MARKET. Consumers Are Attracted By the Very Low
 Prices

New York, October 15.-Copsumers o3 steel products, large and small. evidently are attracted by the low prices prevailing for finished material and larger contracts arc developing for spring delivery.
 Current business, however, is enough to keep only about s5 per cent of mill ca pacity active, which results in continued competition for business with irregularity in prices.
 There is a variation in bars, plates and shapes of from s1 to g per ton.
 The railroads and shipyards are in the market for heavier tonnage, Building and bridge contracts also are developing mere satisfactorily, bids being in on 75,- coo tons and orders placed last week call inE for 10000 tons.
 One order was for 45O0 tons for the Cleveland Leader building and 4s0O tons for the Washington postoffiee building. Bids also went in on the Madison Square rrilding, requiring 62,0Oo tons.
 The steel contract for the Field mus cum, Chicago. 10000 tons, is still pend iDg.
 The principal feature of interest in the iron trade was the purchase of 50,000 tons Of low grade pig metal by eastern pipe works Other contracts for foundry iron placed in the east were relatively small. The principal contract in the west was 600C tons of basic iron for shipment to the St Louis district, the business going tu Chicago furnace.
 The Steel corporations September busi- ness was 100000 tons less than in Sep tember last year or decrease of S4.0OO tons, and increase over August of 112,- Opo tons The October record is improved

GINNING REPORT ID AFFECT MARKET Traders do Not Know Ex- actly What to
 Expect

New Orleans, October 15.-So far as can be foreseen now, the chief factor in the cotton market this week, that is, as regards the immediate course of prices, will be the next report on ginning by the census bureau.
 The period to be considered by this report will end Tuesday night. The trade. as yet, has not made up it's mind what to expect. except that the figures will be bearish Private bureau reports around Tuesday will do much to mold public opinion
 The next ginners' report is important because 1t is the first report of the sea- son since sinneries have been generally engaged. It relates to the entire cotton belt, whereas, the first two reports of the season related more to the earlier sections. The fact that so much cotton was open this last period and that pick ing was carried on day and night, in many sections. and that gins also worked overtime in hundreds of instances, leads to the belief that the figures will favor the short side. The report will not be issued until a week from Wednesday, which gives the trade all this week and the first half of next to do it's guess ing in.
 The movement and the spot demand will both be very carefully watched this week for new developments are expected in both and they ought to affect the daily swing of prices to a considerable extent. It is claimed that the lack of a spot demand is causing a falling off in the movement and that poor trade and the feeling among spinners that they are secure in not buying their supplies now are the cause of the poor inquiry. At the same time the demand of the season must come, sooner or later, and when 1t does put in a presence it must have a good effect on the market. It is pos sble that spinners will continue to hold off as much as possible until the pend ing census report on ginning Is out of the way not only in the hope that prices will work lower on the report but in order to get better line on the crop.
 The weather is bound to be factor and the chances are that 1t will help the bulls more than the bears for the time has now come when the first real cold snap of the season may be expected. Cold weather will have more effect on the market than on the crop for the crop is too far advanced to be injured much by frost. The bullish sentiment that would be aroused by frost however. would be considerable.

CHIEF MEYERS DESCRIBES
 HIS SENSATIONS IN THE GAME
BY JOHN MEYERS

Well, we beat 'em. Whats more, hay ing trimmed the best team the American l league could turn out with their best pitcher in the box l am willing to predict confidently that by this time next week We will be the baseball champions of the world.
 suppose you will all want to know what won for us. Well, here it is for you:
 The great pitching in the tight places by Chrsty Mathewson.
 Our ability to hit when a hit meant something.
 l will add another-though less impor- tant-reason for the satisfaction of those who rooted for the Athletics. It is this: We were helped considerably by the nervousness of the Philadelphia players. which 1 suppose was caused by the strange grounds and that wonderful crowd of o0,000 There were several plays missed by their stars which would have been easy for our little mascot. Dick Hen messy. One of these gave us our first run.
 But l will put aside this reason and credit our victory to Matty and the good old walop.
 And 1 am proud to say that I had share in both ends of the victory. II was one of the happiest moments of my life when I landed on an outcurve of my Indian friend, Albert Bender, In the lucky seventh and got to second on it. A ino- ment equally happy was when little Josh Devore stung another of the Chippewa's twisters and drove me home with what proved to be the winning run.
 Everybody knows that I'm not a flash of lightning on the bases. I'm more like safe mounted on wheels. But it's my private opinion that l broke all worlds records between second and home on De- vores hit Believe me. I put enough ef fort into that run to do it anyhow, be- cause l felt when I put my head down and got to going that if I crossed Jne plate with that second tally the game was ours
 Matty told me when I got back to the bench that 1 was going like a regular Ty Cobb-but I guess he must have oeen kidding. a little bit.
 I never saw more welcome sight than lithl NniIe HOIle pldle as ] step ped across it.
 I'm a ball player, not a writer. so won't attempt to describe the sensation we experienced when we came on the field this afternoon. We had heard roar a few moments before as the fans welcomed the Athletics and I must ad- init that I for one. felt a bit nervous. McGraw must have noticed that the oth- CTS were the same. so he said: Now, l boys, when you go out take it on the run like football team does. Everybody grin and look confident. That will begin 1 to get their goats right away" Several of us are old college men and football players and this struck Us mighty good idea. So we trotted out with smiles on our faces-into the greatest yell that I ever heard, in college or out. It was not the rah, rah, but certainly a tremendous circle of noise.
 When a little while later Matty began to warm up to me I knew that he was the 'old master" Only once in a while he would chuck his famous fade-away. Most of the time he was throwing straight ones, just to loosen up his gold over it went just as he wanted. And old right. But when he did bend one

ARCTIC SUPPLIES SOON ID OBY RAIL The Canadian Northern to Reach Athabasca Landing ENDS FAMOUS TRAIL Skirmish Line of the Land Seekers for Two Years Has Presaged
 the Coming of Railroad
 Trains

Chicago, October 15.-The dream or reaching the Arctic ocean via railroad will within a few weeks be to all practi- cal purposes an accomplished fact, TOT rails of the Canadian Northern will reach Athabasca Landing next month and train service will be established this winter to the Athabasca river For two centuries supplies for the fur traders and trappers have descended the Athabasea in pirogues even to the Great Slave Lake and thence by the Mackenzie to the Artic Ocean, more than 1000 miles beyond the newest agricultural settlements in the Peace Riv- CT valley. General Manager NJ. H. Mac Leod is authority for the Canadian Northern railroad announcement. Some steel will be laid on branch to the Peace river and it is expected that this branch will be completed this year to the Pombi- na river.
 With the opening of the train service 1t will be a comparatively simple matter to reach the waters of the Lesser Slave lake and the water chain beyond With
 it's surrounding territory and vast stretches of rich farming land. By boar from Athabasca Landing one can reach the Lessor and Great SiaNe luke Nllh- out difficulty.
 During recent years the. trail north from Edmonton has been the trail of adven- ture, a trail to a last west astoundingly remote from the last west as it was con ceived a decade ago. During the last two years many land seekers have set out on this trail of the .trapper across the prairie toward the Aathabasca ana Peace river country. Railroad facilities will find much traffic waiting, for the difficulties which have attended the trip have kept numberless people from at tempting it.
 Sir William Mackenzie. president of the Canadian Northern railway has stat ed that he presumed the line described as running from Edmonton to point on the road branching off the Athabascs Landing line toward Fort McCurray will follow the route of the defunct Alberta and Great Waterways railway. He also is reported as stating that the grade On the main line will be completed this fall 170 miles west of Edmonton. and that few men are at work on the section of the lire between the west end of the con struction companys contract and the Yel- low Head Pass.

HESITATION IN
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, October 15.-The unsettled position of the raw cotton market has caused some hesitation in. further pur- chases of cotton goods, butethis has been offset in some degree by continuation Of the policy of revising prices for goods to be made for future delivery and for spot shipment ~"
 Tickings, denims and other heavy cot tons are now being revised downward to @ basis Of 10 cent cotton or lower, and the jobbers whose. stocks are low are or dering a headliner of two or three months on certain lines of goods.
 Print cloths and other cotton goods made from medium yarns are softer lil value than the coarse fabrics, due largely to the influence of long curtaiment of production in, the latter.
 Fall River sold 100000 pieces of print cloths last week, and southern mills are selling contracts in small way. There or these goods for delivery after the turn of the year. but the mills are not ready to proceed at current bid prices.
 The export demand has quieted down except in the case of bids made at prices mills will not consider now. Yarns and knit goods are unsteady and are gradual ly, settling to a new trading basis.
 Production in mill centers is being re- sumed under the stimulus of low cotton p.ices. :.
 Retailers and jobbers are giving mani festations of more confidence in values by placing orders frequently in small amounts, and they are evidently doing better trade. ,---. .s.e s.Hi
